Still it is not unlikely that the Prime Ministeris under far more hopeful auspices than seemed possible a month ago.

A general reorganization of the de- vartment of the Imperial Government is foreshadowed. The dominions will be severed entirely from the colo- nial office ard their affairs handled in ¢ separate department closely connected with the Privy Council.
