This was not regrded as satisfactory in any way by the British Government, which felt that the doniinions should par- ticipate niore fully although it was admitted that this is a mutter for the dominlons themselves to deter- mine. - The conference muy thus bc- conio it full dross Impcritil confer- oiicc, although the object of its culling is decussion fo the protocol and the alternative plan.
