		The conferences were a key forum for Dominion governments to assert the desire for removing the remaining vestiges of their colonial status.
		The conference of 1930 came to conclusion to remove the legislative supremacy of the British Parliament as it was expressed through the Colonial Laws Validity Act, and recommended a declaratory enactment of the United Kingdom Parliament, passed with the consent of the Dominions.

		The president of the conference is the Prime Minister of Great Britain, but the conference is called at the instance of the Secretary for the Colonies, and the mechanism, the secretariat of the conference, is under the latter's supervision.
		The subject matter that has been discussed from time to time at the Imperial Conference has had to do with the concerns of the Empire as an empire, concerns in which each portion was interested, concerns which might possibly be referred to as domestic concerns of the British Empire.
		In passing, I may say that provision was made by the Imperial War Cabinet whereby any of the British Dominions might have a minister of its Government present at all sessions of that Cabinet, between its plenary sessions, dealing with war matters.

		Its conferences, normally convened at five year periods, were established forums for the discussion of ongoing imperial communication issues and were attended by British and Dominion delegations, comprising metropolitan proprietors and editors.
		Freedom of the press emerged as a conference issue in the wake of censorship by governments during World War One, albeit without the complexity or divisions which characterised the sustained debate of the 1946 and 1950 conferences.
		In preparation for the 1950 Ottawa conference, one of the Council of the Press Union’s urgent priorities was to closely scrutinise three relevant draft conventions generated by the United Nations.

		They quite accidentally discovered that the cognitive maps of Japanese decision\_making looked different depending on whether they constructed those maps from the verbatim deliberations of the Liaison conferences (at which military leaders actually made policy decisions) or from the Imperial conferences (at which those same leaders justified their decisions before the Emperor and his advisors).
		By the fall of 1941, there was relatively little tolerance in the Liaison conferences for dissenters who wanted to avoid military confrontation with the United States; there was accordingly little need to anticipate such objections and to incorporate them into the group{\f1 \'2a}s shared assessment of Japan{\f1 \'2a}s geopolitical predicament.
		As a result, the cognitive maps in the Imperial conferences were considerably more complex \_\_ with more references to interactive causation and trade\_offs \_\_ than were the cognitive maps derived from the Liaison conferences.

	Why Did the Japanese Delay Surrendering?
		With defeat imminent, Japan's leaders feared that without the imperial house, the state and their own power would be devalued and diminished in the eyes of the people, and that the state would ultimately disintegrate.
		But for all who participated in the last imperial conferences that produced the surrender decision, kokutai meant a sovereign, politically empowered monarchy based on the orthodox State Shinto view of the state, in which the people existed to assist the imperial destiny.
		It was a masterpiece of propaganda packed with terms like "preservation of the national polity," "subjects of the empire," and the "indestructibility of the divine land." The ideologues who drafted it deliberately obfuscated the Allies harsh terms of surrender because national pride was at stake.

		In 1917 the Imperial War Conference resolved that a future Imperial Conference be held to consider the 'readjustment of the constitutional relations of the component parts of the Empire'.
		The 1930 Imperial Conference accepted the report of the Committee and endorsed draft clauses which were to become the Statute of Westminster.

		The Statute enacted the agreement reached at the Imperial Conferences and uses the words of the Balfour Declaration to state the principle that the Crown was 'the symbol of the free association of the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations'.

		In a storm of controversy, the Imperial Conference in November 1930 confirmed that the procedure of recommendation by a Dominion Prime Minister should be followed.

	Imperial Federation
		Imperial federation means that Canada must join Britain in her wars throughout the world, and must weigh the interest of the whole Empire before looking to her own.
		The Imperial Federation has only to grapple with the initial difficulty to be overthrown, which is this: the native-born Australian wants at maturity a country of his own to live for, fight for, and, if necessary, to die for; the native-born Canadian wants the same.
		But, as in the case of the Imperial Federation League, so the United Empire Trade League should be able to satisfy itself, before asking a conference only to be refused, that there is no possibility of obtaining the cooperation of any English-speaking community.

		We would, nevertheless, recall that by Resolution IX of the Imperial War Conference; 1917, due recognition was given to the important position held by India in the British Commonwealth.
		Some time before the Conference met, it had been recognised that this form of title hardly accorded with the altered state of affairs arising from the establishment of the Irish Free State as a Dominion.
		The Report did not, however, contain any recommendation as to the procedure to be adopted henceforward in the appointment of a Governor-General, and the Conference felt it necessary to give consideration to this question.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 92
		More vividly than other institutions, the Imperial Conferences illustrate how the actions of the elites (including the emperor) were mutually dependent upon one another, and how elite political decisions were expressed in the theocratic ideal of the destiny of the imperial house (koun) and the sacred kokutai.
		Yet historians of wartime imperial Japan cannot be expected to speak as one on subjects so highly charged as the emperor and the war.
		Subsequently, Hata came to see himself as the defender of the honor of the imperial armed forces and the policies of the state in the face of assaults launched by historians critical of both.
