They indicate tho immediate necessity of devising means whereby the opinion, of tho Dominions may make itself felt in conducting Imperial relations with foreign Powers. Th 9 voice must be the Empire's, not Britain's alone. , New Zealand, continues "The Times," urges the creation of an Imperial Council. Everything depends on its form, but "The Times" doubts whether a Council, even with purely advisory powers, will prove in consonance with Australian and Canadian ideas.
