The
Canadian
Premier
said
that
the
function
of
the
conference
was
not
to
formulate
or
declare
policy
but
the
value
lay
mainly
in
free
exchange
of
Information
and
opinion.
"In
the
Imperial
confer-
ence

,we
have
en
joyed
and
exercised
the
family
privilege
of
frank
and
free
speech.
This
has
contributed
not
only
to
a
better
understanding
of
the
tasks
and
problems
of
other
members
but
to
an
attainment
of

HIS

(CP)
Rescue
workers,
who
took
out
the
body
of
young
Joseph
Carr
from
the
workings
of
the
flooded
Beban
mine
at
Extension
yesterday,
endeavored
to
discover
why
Carr
went
back
Into
the
mine
after
evidently
having
had
an
opportunity
to
escape.
Discovery
of
tools
led
the
rescue
workers
to
theorize
that
Carr
finished
work
at
the
pit
bottom,
started
out
and
then,
for
some
reason,
laid
his
implements
down
and
returned
to
the
deep
end
of
the
slope
where
the
water
caught
him.
