Free Co-operation -The imperial conference imas decid- ed that it was possible to cooperate and be united while each constituent was free and knew no authority out- side rbside itself.

On that question, the war opened our eyes and made ns realize that it did matter whom we supported by our commerce and 'where our settiere went." "It is not for me to say how rapidly Britain will modify her prejudices on Racal policies, but modify them size will," deoared Col. Amery.
