Parliamentary

the

said.
*'l regret
it
has
been fourd
impracticable
to arrange
for
separate
representation
at the
lmperial
Economic
Conference,
even of the
main
groups
into which
the
colonies
and
pro-
tectorates
natura'ly fall, to
say
nothing
of territories
ouiside
these
groups,
it
is
impossible tomake
an exception
in favour
of
the West
Indies
which
leaves
other
groups
unrepresented.””
This the
Duke
of Devonsiiire’s r2ply to
representations
made
by
Lord
Burnham,
as
Chairman
and Mr. Perey
Hurd,
as
Secretary
of the
Parliamenrary
Committee,
who forward-
ed
messages
from
authoritative
West
Indian
bodies
and
urged
that
official
re-
presentation
of the
West
Indies
was
not
alone
sufficient
and
that
the
legiiimate
West
Indian
elaim
should
be
pressed
uron the conference
by those
with special
qualifications
and
commercial knowledge
for dealing with current
problems.
The

further
replied

he is
satisfied
that
M:. Ormsby-Gore
with the advisory

Assuming

M. Paolitis

and
he
said
he failed
to
understand
the haste
of tte

He compared
the prisent
situation
to the celebrated
Dreyfus
case
in
Frarce,
which
he
recalled
was
re-
opened
because
Dreyfus
was
coivieted
on

OUbserving
that
Greece
accented
in

M. Politis said
that
never-

Greece
would
not fail later
to
ex-
press
her opinion

cation
to

that

themselves
