Imperial Plodding

COMMONWEALTH (British Commonwealth of Nations)

The Dominion premiers assembled in London at the Imperial Conference (TIME, Oct. 25 et seq.) dined at Buckingham Palace last week off a stag recently shot by George V, R. I.

The Conference plodded through imperial detail during the week and was understood to have secretly arrived at one notable agreement: hereafter governors general will have the status of viceroys. They will cease to represent the Crown and the British Government, and will represent only the Crown.
