GILBKRT MalT ( orrrsponilrnl r.vrnlni: Piilillr i.Mlurr "' tpijrwht. IOlI. hv Puttie l.rtjqrr Co. Washington, June '2 - - .Secretary Hughes Is waiting upon the imperial conference nt London for the develop ment of the Administration foreign pol icy. The gathering of the British colonial representatives is the most important international meeting since the Pence Conference nt Paris. Upon it in a large measure hang disarmament, in ternational co-operation and the poli cies of tho English-speaking peoples in the Pacific. Not only nro Great Britain's hnnds too full withthis conference nnd the prospective Irish conference to tnke up more general international questions, hut tliis country's approach to her will be largely uffei ted by the results of the imperial conference and the Irish con ference. If tho meeting of Lloyd George, I)e Vnleru and Craig should solve or even clear up the Irish difficulties and if the Imperial conference should reject the Anglo-Japanese nlliunce co-operntion between this countrv and F.ugland would he j;reatl) furthered. Ma) Remove Kntanglements If. In addition, the principle enunci ated bv Arthur Maighen. tlie Canadian Premier, nl the Imperial conference ,vcs. terdav, thnt the British Government should make no Ireutis or alliances without consultation with the Domin ions and thnt nil such treaties be sub ject to the approval of the Dominion Parliaments, co-operate between Great Britain and the United States would be come easier. Great Britain without the Anglo Japanese Alliance nnd making no nl lionces without colonial approval would be Great Britain free from a variety of entanglements on the continent of Ku rope and Asia. And freedom from these entangle -incuts would make working together with her much more feasible for this country.
