British Premiers Agree
On One-Power Standard
Dominions Said to Have Ac-
cepted Own Defense; Confer
ence TO Close To-day,

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The discussions
OF the Imperial Conference will con
clude tomorrow The report which
flnaily will be adopted covers a con-
sicerably wider range than has been
indicated by the meager Official
accounts.
1t is believed the conference adopted
policy Of non-interference content
ing itself with declaring against the
suggestion OF a special conference to
discuss the matter of affirming the
right of the domnions to nominate
Cabinet Ministers 20 represent their
respective countries in future consul
tstlons with the British Prime Minis
ter. The view of the conference seems
10 have been in favor of a one-power
standard for the empire, the dominions
undertaking the defense Of their re-
spectlve territories.
The discussion of wireless communi-
cation revealed some divergence of
opinion; 1t is understood an Austria
liam delegate contended vigorously for
stations of sufficiently high power to
enable Australia to communicate di-
rect with England, against the oppos-
ing view for more stations of less
power. The latter view is believed to
have gained the day, it being decided
that Great Britain should complete
stations in the territory under her con-
troll, while as far as might be neces-
sary Australia, South Africa and India
also would erect necessary stations
with New Zealand and Canada cooper
atlng in the chain.
