CHAP, IIT] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1501 more and more prominently forward by the tariff negotiations which have recently taken place with the German, Italian, Belgian, Netherlands, and Japanese Consuls-General or Consuls. On the question of naturalization, however, Sir Wilfrid Laurier indicated as a difficulty the fact that while by naturalization in Canada an American became a Canadian citizen, he did not when outside the limits of Canada become a British citizen at all, and this position was an unfortunate one, as tending to accentuate the distinction between Cana- dian citizenship and membership of the Empire. $ 4. Tue PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE ! The Conference held twelve meetings from May 23 to June 20. Thirteen ministers attended, and for the first time the Prime Minister presided almost throughout the proceedings, The business character of the proceedings was also increased by the strict adherence to the rule of excluding from the Conference all Imperial ministers who were not actually required to attend for purposes of discus- sion. The Secretary of State for the Colonies, of course, attended all the meetings and took the chair in the absence of the Prime Minister ; on one occasion, in Mr. Harcourt’s unavoidable absence, Sir W. Laurier took his place, There were also present, on various occasions, the Secretaries of State for Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, War, and India, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord Chancellor, the Presi- dents of the Board of Trade and the Local Government Board, and the Postmaster-General. The proceedings were, as in 1907, private, but a daily précis of the Conference was published, and a full report appeared in July after revision by the members. Sir Joseph * For the précis, see Parl.
