§ 47. Mr. Gammansasked the Prime Minister if he now proposes to suggest the calling of an Imperial Conference, in view of the possibility of the U.S. Congress refusing to grant this country a loan.
§ The Prime MinisterIt would be premature to accept the hypothesis contained in the hon. Member's Question.
§ Mr. GammansIn view of the fact that only Empire countries are prepared to help us in our hour of need, does the Prime Minister not feel that he ought to take some steps to see that we do not get a bombshell on us in the event of these negotiations breaking down?
§ The Prime MinisterOh, yes, but 1 really cannot act upon a hypothesis in a question of this kind. Naturally, we will keep in touch with the Dominions in all these matters.
