JHAP. III] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1509 was made also to the Advisory Committee unanimously recommended by the Imperial Education Conference of 1911. The committee would consist of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Parliamentary and Permanent Under- Secretaries, the Assistant Under-Secretary for the Dominions, the Secretary to the Imperial Conference, the High Commis- sioners or other representatives of the Dominions, and in addition the Secretary of State would have a right to-summon to any meeting the political or permanent heads of other departments which might be specially concerned in subjects to be discussed.

Apart from Conference questions the ordinary communications of the Secretary of State with the Governors-General of the Dominions would continue as at present. It was explained that the Imperial Government did not desire to press the appointment of such a standing committee should the Dominion ministers be unwilling to accept the proposal, but they thought that a standing authority might be of sub- stantial advantage in securing efficiency of working of the Secretariat and the Conference. Sir Joseph Ward ! advocated the adoption of the proposal subject to the omission of the express reference to the High Commissioners, as he preferred that the Governments should be left entirely free as to what representatives they should choose. Mr. Fisher? also considered that it was desirable, in ! Cd. 5745, pp. 174 seq. ? Ihid., p. 176.
