Some interesting information about the problems before the Imperial Defence
Conference has appeared in the papers during the week, but of course it is all unofficial, and should be received with a certain reserve. Renter's Agency learns that the results of the discussions on the military question are regarded with great satisfaction by the Army Council and the Government. The main result of the military work of the Conference is said to be the complete acquiescence of the oversea delegates in the proposals of the Imperial Government. These provide in general terms for complete interchangeability of forces between all parts of the Empire. The organisation and training of oversea troops will be on exactly the same lines as those of the Imperial troops. Under the scheme for an Imperial General Staff there will be an interchange of officers, and it is also intended to establish military Training Colleges in the oversea dominions like the Staff College at Camberley.
