PREM1ERs ACHIEVE: MUCH.
Dominion Leaders Paved WAY to
Disarming and Irish Peace.

LONDON. July 1S canadian Press).
With the congress of prime minis.
ters Of the British empire nearing its
close It now is possible to sum up
lts achievements, which include the
following:
II paved the way for and made DOS
siDie tne great sarmament confer
Its deliberations resulted in TIA de-
cision that the Anglo-Japanese AL
lance must be brought into harmony
with the covenant Of the league OF
nations. which means that the mill
eliminated. and It prompted the idea
OF q conference on Pacific problems.
which. il 1t be successful, will make
the Anglo-Japanese alliance unneces-
sary.
1t created the atmosphere favorable
FOR the step toward the settlement of
Gen. SHUTS to rescue the negotiations
from failure at an extremely critical
juncture.
It enabled the statesmen Of the do
minions to arrive at full knowledge
and comprehension Of the principles
and Of the effect which the applica-
tion Of such principles produced upon
the international situation.
The naval question was not dis
cussed. The matter came up in q
general way in connection with the
consideration Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. and it ia believed that an
innocuous non-committal resolution
willsbe passed in connection with it,
but there has been no attempt to for
mulate q policy and no suggestion
whatsoever: from any quarter, that
the principle laid down in the reso-
luton Of 1918, namely dominion con-
troll, should be departed from. The
contention Of Premier Meighen that
the whole problem should be shelved
pending the attempt to secure con-
ferences, such as have been made DOS.
sible by President Harding's invita-
ton to Warrington, has been accept
ed from the drst.
