STATUS OF N.Z.
RELATION TO HOMELAND. MR. F. MILNER'S COMMENT. DUXEDDf, this day. Exception to the designation so frequently used in Parliament of New Zealand s status with the Homeland as part of the Commonwealth of British Rations, was expressed by Mr. Frank Milner in speaking to members and guests of the Commercial Travellers' Association. The speaker explained that this designation merely acknowledged the free state .of those parts of the Empire which, by the Statute of Westminster, became autonomous. As an autonomous Dominion New Zealand was under no compulsion in any form to Britain, paying no taxes to Britain, but depending on her for security for trade and for practically everything. There " ot £ ing wrong with the term British Empire." In fact, we should be proud of our right to use it.—(Press Assn.)
