William
Meircr,
Empire
Conference
on
Trade
Relations
is
Now
Proposed
by
Winston
Churchill
at
Ottawa
OTTAWA,
Aug.
16.
The
suggestion
that
an
Empire
conference
of
businessmen
should
take
plac
antecedent
to
any
action
by
the
various
administrations
of
Empire
countries
and
that
this
conference
should
canvass
all
the
different
ways
and
means
of
expanding
imperial
trade
was
advanced
by
Rt.
Hon.
Winston
Churchill,
former
chancellor
of
the
exchequer,
yesterday
before
the
Canadian
Club
here.
The
whole
issue
of
intra-imperial
commerce
should
be
dragged
out
of
the
arena
of
party
politics
and
lifted
to
a
higher
and
more
reasonable
platform,
in
Mr?
Churchill's
opinion
.
The
world
of
business
should
survey
the
problem
in
the
same
spirit
as
a
board
of
directors
of
the
world's
largest
merger
and
should
advise
Empire
governments
following
their
investigations.

Keeping

"Mr.

is
essentially
appealing
to

people.
When
he
talks
of
keeping
the
boys

at

instead
of
going
to
the
United
States,
it
would
be
well
If
ho
would

it
was
that
r'i'Wng
the
time
when
he
was
a
minister
of
the
crown
under
the
Borden-Meighen
administration,
760.000

It
is
the
