The talks-designed to exchange
ideas rather than make decisions
appeared already to have given the
British Government keen insight
into how the vast empire feels about
the war. Wading through war plans
and foreign policy in evident har-
mony, the leaders obviously have ac-

Minister Churchill's stated aim of
putting the British Empire in its
