When Charles returned to Switzer-

MED that the former king had asked
whether he could come to SPAIN
1t is plain therefore that Charles

tentious palace is taking on more
the aspect of a royal court. One
of the recent acts Of Charles was
to decorate his former minister.

the Golden Fleece.
The plan is for Hungary to join
the league of nations and as a.
member obtain the right to decide
national questions without external
interference. Ratification of the

expected to make it easier for the
royalists to carry out a coup. II

LONDON, June 1S.-A survey OF the
attitude of the British Dominions
toward the proposed renewal of the
be the chief topic of discussion at the
imperial conference opening here on
Monday, shows South Africa and
Canada opposing renewal of the
treaty on any basis. Australia and
New Zealand favoring a renewal with
amendments. and India maintaining
silence, while being hostile to the
pact'
The attitude of the British govern
ment. as brought out yesterday in
the house of commons by Austen
Chamberlain. government spokesman.
Indicates that in the conferences ses-
sions the demand for a change in the
present arrangement will be too
strong to escape. Although the
conference probably will make little
progress toward formulating a definite
imperial foreign policy, it is agreed
here that the Dominion premiers mat
ask conference of Pacific powers. as
proposed by two speakers in yester-
days debate in the house of commons.
Sovereignty May be Issue.
Canada particularly favors this
step as a prerequisite to a renewal
OF the alliance. Premier Meighen feels
that some decision must he reach
ed regarding future relations in the
Pacific. The dominion premiers want
to avoid any decision of an imperial
foreign policy because they point out
that any well defined course uf action
would involve a Capitalization of au-
thority to carry out that purpose.
ANY movement to take power away
from the dominions is looked on ask
ance and some Of the governments
have already found it necessary to
disclAim publicly any intention III
surrenderifg any right or curtai,tnt
dominion sovereignty.
Among the questions that will come
up is unquestionably the government
policy In Ireland. but Lloyd George
will seek to overlook this. Mr.. Cham.
berlain voiced the government, view
yesterday, when he said that the
irish problem was a domestic affair,
interference in which by the domin-
ions might encourage the fear on their
part that Great Britain wants to med
die in their affairs
India will not press for the free
admission of her citizens to all. the
dominions. but she will ask that they
be not excluded simply on the
grounds Of their nationality.
For Naval Defenses.
Premier Hughes of Australia fs
expected to propose schemes for the
building up of extensive imperial
naval defenses, which Premier Meig-
han of Canada will oppose. Premier
Hughes and Massey of New leland
are especially interested in questions
of communications and the former
intends to ask the conference to
consider the practicability of estab-
fishing a chain of wireless telephone
and telegraph stations around the
empire and also a network of gov
ernment- t-owned cables in addition to
those now operating between Great
Britain and Canada and between
Canada and Australasia. Premier
Massey will pay particular attention
to obtaining better steamship serv-
ice in the Pacific.
