CHAP. TI1] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1487 2. Imperial representation of oversea Dominions with a view to furthering Imperial sentiment, solidarity, and interest. That the Empire has now reached a stage of Imperial development which renders it expedient that there should be an Imperial Council of State, with representatives from all the constituent parts of the Empire, whether self-governing or not, in theory and in fact advisory to the Imperial Govern- ment on all questions affecting the interests of His Majesty’s Dominions oversea. 3. Reconstitution of the Colonial Office, dec. : (1) That it is essential that the Department of the Dominions be separated from that of the Crown Colonies, and that each Department be placed under a separate Permanent Under-Secretary. (2) That in order to give due effect to modern Imperial development it has now become advisable to change the title of Secretary of State for the Colonies to that of * Secretary of State for Imperial Affairs’. (3) That the staff of the Secretariat be incorporated with the Dominions Department under the new Under-Secretary, and thatall questions relating to the self-governing Dominions be referred to that Department ; the High Commissioners to be informed of matters affecting the Dominions with a view to their Governments expressing their opinion on the same. {4) That the High Commissioners be invited to attend meetings of the Committee of Defence when questions on Naval or Military Imperial defence affecting the oversea Dominions are under discussion. (5) That the High Commissioners be invited to consult with the Foreign Minister on matters of foreign industrial, commercial, and social affairs in which the oversea Dominions are interested, and inform their respective Governments. (6) That the High Commissioners should become the sole channel of communication between Imperial and Dominion Governments, Governors-General and Governors on all being given identical and simultaneous informa- ion, 4. Interchange of civil servants : That it is in the interests of the Imperial Government, and also of the Governments of the oversea Dominions, that an interchange of selected officers of the respective Civil Ser- vices should take place from time to time, with a view to the acquirement of better knowledge for both services with tegard to questions that may arise affecting the respective Governments. aoev
