THE IMPERIAL TIE
ITS FIRST REAL STRAIN. (Rec. March 25, 8.5 p.m.) London, March 25. Before the members of the Colonial Institute, Lord Milner prosiding, Dr. Horsfalls read a paper on "Australasia's Stake in the War." Ha said that it was of incalculable importance that the first occasion on which the Imperial tie had been subjected to a real strain should be in a war in which there was complete sympathy between the Motherland and her Dominions, and also thai the latter recognised that victory would mean everything to them. That they were liable to he involved in a most momentous experience, without having the slightest voice in the policy which led to it, was fundamentally -unsound, and in the long run it would be impossible. "We should, when peace is negotiated, negotiate with the fullest knowledge of their views, and with full sympathy with their point of view." Lord Milner said that their overseas kinsmen • might not be parties to the peace negotiations formally, but they ought, virtually to be. They should be consulted discreetly. A timely acknowledgment that this might obviate misunderstandings would be a great step towards a. perfect and permanent partnership.
