CANADA MAY HAVE NEXT CONFERENCE Thomas Says Next Imperial Parley May Convene in Ottawa Montreal, Nov. 11.--Possibility -of the next Imperial Conference being held in one of thefominions was in- timated by Right Hon. J. II. Thomas Secretary of State for the Dominions in the British Government, in a wirc- Jess telephone conversation with E. W. Beatty, K.C., president of the (Canadian Pacific Railways. Mr, Beatty was in his Montreal office while Mr. Thomas was in Bridgewat- er, England. Expressing confidence that the pre- sent Imperial Conference would not end without producing "excellent re- sults", Mr. Thomas said the problem of the Conference was "to see that we do not do anything that will weaken the constitutional position of the Crown as the emblem of "unity for all the Dominions."

Control Over Their Own Shipping--Right of Do- minions to Define Own Nationals Is Recognized London, Nov, 11.--The empire premiers today suddenly switched their program, Meeting immediate- ly after the solemn armistic day service at the Whitehall cenotaph, they talked of foreign policy, de- ferring their discussion of the wheat 'quota purchasing plan until the afternoon. London, Nov, 11--So far as con- stitutional matters go, the 1930 Im- perial Conference almost over. Heads of delegations have at last formulated recommendations on all the tangled constitutional problems that had confronted them, and they will submit these recommendations for official approval of the confer- ence at a plenary session shortly. But progress has not been so rapid as regards the other apects of the conterence--the economic and empire trade aspect. The heads of delegu- tions have yet to agree on a scheme or schemes for developing empire trade and though a great deal of is wbrk has been done on the matter, they are not yet quite ready to pres- ent concrete recommendations to the conference as a whole, Privy Council Appeals The recommendations on constitu- tional matters largely follow the re- solutipns of the 1929 conference of experts which met to remove anoma- lies existing after the declaration of equal status formulated by the 1926 Imperial Conference. Only matter of appeals to the judic mittee of the privy recommendation made. This was found to be too complicated for for- mal resolutions at this stage and so the status quo will remain. In effect the premiers' tional findings are: -- The Colonial Laws Validity Act of 1865, which would nullify any act of the dominion parlaiments found re pugnant to the law of England, will be repealed. But the repeal will come only after the Canadian prov- inces have been consulted by the Canadian government, for so far as the Dominion is concerned the mat- ter involves the question of provin- cial rights and perhaps also the right of amendment to the British North America Act, Each dominion is to have full leg- islative powers over all ships in its territorial waters or engaged in its coasting trade, and over its own ships both intra-territorially and ex- tra-territorially, _ Any alteration in the law touch- ing the succession to the throne will be made only by the consent of all seven parliaments of the British commonwealth, The right of each dominion to de- fine its own nationals is recognized. Canada has already adopted this, There will be no alteration in the status of common British citizenship except perhaps after consultation and agreement between the members of $11. consti | BIG FREIGHTER HARD AGROUND -- | Grain Ship - Reiss Released But Freighter Angeline Still Ashore (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Windsor, Nov. 11.--The freight- er J.

At 4 o'clock this atfernoen the boy left to bring home the cattle, and, when he had not returned three hours later, search party was organized. At 8 o'clock Lyle Fawcett and David Voll, neighbors, discovered the lad's body hanging from a rope slung over the limb of a tree, Iirst ascertaining that the boy was dead, they called Dr, Prior of Smith- ville, who cut down the body and notified Coroner Gordon A. Sin- clair and Provincial Constable W, A. Ernbleton, of Crimsby, The position of the body the rope over the tree-limbh led police to discount any theory of suicide, It was considered highly improbable that the boy could have taken his own life, Moreover, young Grant was known as a cheer ful lad, without any troubles and happy in his adoptive home. He wag an unusually brilliant hoy, and two years ago won the Lincoln County Cup for oratory.

A man was just coming out, but when he saw the policeman he backed up. Witnesses said the man made a move as though to draw a pistol. The policeman took no chances. He fired, sending two bullets into the head of Thomas Ottati, a cab driver.

The first of these will be that scheme of constitutional reform put forward in the report of the statu- tory commission which, under Sir John Simon, delved deeply into the present situation in India. The second will probably be a scheme put forward by the British government, In pronouncements of Premier 'Ramsay "MacDonald some political = observers profess to dis- cern an, intimation the government wil favor dominion status for India or at least a much greater degree of governmental autonomy than is now the case. A third plan may possibly he put forward by the Indian delegates themselves, including the native prin- ces and representatives of British India. In any event upon the outcome of the conference probably will depend the future course of events in India, where the nationalist element has been enagged for almost a year in a civil disobedience campaign which they had hoped would force the government to recognize their clamor for independence, Ninety-six delegates will be pres- ent at the opening of the conference. These include 15 British ministers members of parliament, representing all three parties, and representatives of the Indian states and political ele- ments in British India, The Indian nationalists, led by Mahamatma Gandhi who is now in prison, will not be represented. The Indian princes will attend the sessions in sober morning dress. Ac- tual work will get underway next Monday at St, James' Palace.
