ST. CROIX STATION
Toronto,
Sept.
24th.—In
an
effort
to
complete
the business
ol the ninth
con-
gress
of the
Chamber
of Commerce
of
the
British
Empire
here
on
Wednesday
sixteen
resolutions
were
discussed
and
carried but it
was
found
impossible
to
wind
up the
business
before
tomorrow.
The
resolutions
dealt
with
today
were
varied
in
subject
and embraced
matters
of
importance
to
the
nation’s
welfare
relating
to the
organization
of the
con-
gress
and matters
of a_sectiongl
nature.
ihe
most
controversial
subject
that
has
yet
come
betore
the
congress
was
a
proposai
by
Mr. Dobson
ol
So:field,
England,
that
ali
business
arising
out
of the proposcd
federation
ot
the
Cham-
bers
of _ommerce
of- th:
various
parts
of the
Empire
shouid
be
controlled
by
the
British
Imperial Council
of
Com-
mercce.
There
was
strong
opposition
to this
and
tinaily
a modified form,
Mr
Dobson’s
resolution
was
carried.
A
number
of
delegates
took
the
ground
that
the
effect
of
such
a
resolution
as
that
moved
by
Mr.
Dobs)n
would
be
to create
a
Bureaucracy
in
Londen
and
i the modification
of
the
original reso-
lution
this
feature
was
removed.
The
Congress
approved
of all ‘the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
Boards
of
Trade
throughout - the Empire
becoming affili-
ated
with
the British Imperial
Cou
cil
of Comuerce.
