The Round Table Conference We have discussed the results of
the Round Table Conference in our first leading article, but we may briefly record here the main facts. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week and Monday of this week were the " winding up " days of the Conference. The delegates reviewed their labours. Outside the Conference last Saturday there was an important move by the Aga Khan, who wrote to the Prime Minister begging him to recognize the reasonableness of the Moslem demand for communal protection. His appeal, as we shall see, produced the desired result. On Monday Lord Peel quite removed the rather unfortunate impression that the Unionist delegates were out of sympathy with the demand for responsible Government at the centre. He even declared that it would be " a great misfortune " if the " mighty Federal scheme " could not be started soon on its career.
