In 1917, the British Prime Minister, Lloyd George, convened two bodies to examine issues regarding the Empire and the First World War: the Imperial War Cabinet and the Imperial War Conference. The Imperial War Conference held its first Session in March 1917. It reassembled again in 1918 for meetings which took place at the Colonial Office in London between 12 June and 26 July 1918, being held on alternate days to those of the meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet, which had also reconvened. The Conference was chaired by Walter H. Long, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and was attended by a number of Ministers and officials from various UK Government Departments, as well as the Prime Ministers of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Newfoundland, and the South African Minister of Railways and Harbours. The Secretary of State for India, E.S. Montagu also attended the Conference along with representatives of the Government of India.
Whereas the Imperial War Cabinet dealt with Empire problems connected with the conduct of the War, the Imperial War Conference dealt with general Empire problems not directly linked with the War. The Conference agreed to resolutions on the subjects of the control of raw materials, the non-ferrous metal industry, the Imperial Mineral Resources Bureau, Petroleum, the establishment of an Imperial Bureau of Mycology, Imperial statistics, the dye manufacturing industry, demobilisation, nationality and naturalisation, and the reciprocity of treatment between India and the Dominions as regards immigration. There were also resolutions on questions of communication including an Imperial News Service, cable communications, Inter-Imperial parcels delivery and shipping.
