During my absence the (dominions offlee will be directly under the prime minister, assisted by Lord tovat, except that while Mr. Baldwin himself Is in Canada, Lord Balfour will act In his plsce. STATI S OF COMMISSIONERS Reply to a question Colonel Amery said he thought the stasia of the dominions high commissioner in London would be one of the questions he would dlscuu with dominion govern menU, and also appointment, oU Brlt:J Ish "feprcselltatfvSs m" dominion cap- :tal. Answering another question, he laid he would not discuss the flag Issue In South Africa, as this wss purely a domestic question. Ills present tour of the dominions Is one which Joseph Chamberlain planned, but was not able to carry out. Col. Amery is starting on a tour of four dominions. He first goes to South Africa. He leaves South Africa September 23. and goes to Australia, then to New Zealand, and will cross the Pacific and reach Canada January 5 or 6. Col. Amery said: Today Imperial conference is the -Essentia element In Im- uperlal co-operation. Unity of Empire Is obtained by contact not by control. Unity Is obtained not by subordination but by free co-operation. CANADIAN ISITORS If the Imperial conference could meet every year, said Col. Amery, and could be held by rotation In different capi tals of the Empire the problem of Imperial co-operation would solve Itself. But as the Imperial conferences could not be held so frequently, Intervals could be filled up by exchange of visits between ministers. Col. Amery men tioned Canadian Ministers Forke. Mal-4 colm and Robb, now on this side, as well as Australians and South Africans. It Is not merely a matter of reciprocal courtesy, said Col. Amery. that we Brit ish ministers should make time to pay return visits, but it Is In our own In terests that we should establish contact and keep In touch with other parts of the Empire. Lost year Lord Salisbury and other members of both houses of parliament made Empire tours, and In a few days said Col. Amery. "The prime minister himself Is visiting the senior dominion on the occasion of Canada's Diamond Jubilee, and I am sure that he will return refreshed In spirit by contact with the optimism of Canada.
