IGNORANCE!
"DOMINION STATUS'"
"I have visited during the last 35 years nearly all the important ceiv tres on the Continent, from Reykjavik to Budapest, and from Stockholm to Barcelona. During all those and other extensive journeys I do not remember ever encountering a foreigner who had any idea, for example, what Dominion status meant. Those, who had heard that the Dominions were 'self-governing' ju.sf did not believe it. The idea that the Elnglish Avere a 'Herrenvollc' to whom the Dominions paid tribute Was too deeply engrained. The fact that the Dominion of Eire has been free to remain neutral in a \yar in which her as well as our future liberty is at stake has. not prevented su,ch otherwise intelligent people as Icelanders, for example, from remaining under the illusion that the status oif the Dominions is something verging upon slavery."—Mr Stanley Unwin, in the Tribune.
