Hon. W. B. Willoughby said he be- lieved the Imperial Conference should be held in conlunction with an Economic Conference to deal with questions bearing on trade within the Empire. H‘ had expected in connec- tion with the announcement of the Imperial Conference an announce- ment by the Government of the date o! the next election. i
