London, July 4.-(By The[A. P.)-Fhe British public. with the Japanese treaty apparently pigeoHholed pending the attempt b bring about discussions with the other Pacific powers with one view of reaching some agreement re- speeting that part of the world, is won deTing what the premiers attending the imperial conference will find to talk about until July 2s. when they are scheduled to finish their work in Lon- don.
 Some of the newspapers suggest that they would take up the Irish question, but most of the dominion representatives prefer to leave this responsibility to the imperial government. It is argued that the general foreign policy, which is the next subject on the agenda. must await a settlement of the Pacific question, Premier Meighan of Canada, among oth- CTS, is urging pestpenement also of the discussion on dominion cooperation in the naval and military defence of the empire until after the eeRtitutioaal con- ference, the date of which the present conference Is expected to fix, which is to define the status of the obligations of the various parts of the empire.

 There you will find the heart of me that

 laughter on its lips. city room my vision holds, and one
 small Strip of sky, And beaten out by countless feet the toil-
 drugged hours pass by. The dark trains cleave the station smoke,
 the great ships quit the quay. But none of all lfe's caFavaAs may keep
 place for me. And yet, wherever down the world the
