In formal and specific language the Imperial Conference has recognized that (treat Britain and the Dominions are of equal status in the Empire. The report of the Premiers committee states in these significant words: "The position and mutual relation of the group of self-governing communities composed of (treat Britain and the Dominions may le readily defined. They are autonomous communities within the Empire, equal in status and in no way subordinate one to the other in any respect of their domestic or external relations though united by a common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The report further proposes to change the title of His Majesty the King. It declares that the (Sovernor-Ceneral should le the representative of the crown only and not of the British (internment and recommends the appointment of a special committee to consider the competence of the Dominion Parliaments to give their legislation extra-territorial effect on other points arising from Dominion legislation with a sub-committee to deal with merchant shipping legislation.

Delegates numbering 570 have been chosen, every riding in British Columbia having done its part in selecting its quota.

What Is true regarding that port Is also true In measure regarding Prince Rupert, which Is very much farther from Nanslmo, Its present base ot supply. The article continues to say that whUe. there seems to be nothing doing In response to the efforts to get Alberta coal Into Ontario, here Is a market right to hand.
