"THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS"
MB- LIONEL CURTIS'S BOOK.
Australian-New Zealand Gable Association.
(Rec. August 6, 5.5 p.m.) London, August 5. The newspapers publish prominent notices of "The Commonwealth of Nations," an elaborate strudy of tho Imperial federation problem, edited by Mr. Lionel Curtis, who is touring Canada,- Australia, New Zealand, , and India'(Mr. Curtis is at present, in Wellington). The . book, which is published under the auspices of the "Round Table," sums up the writer's studies of the opinions of groups of various Dominions, and supplements the "Round Table's" problem of the Coikmonwealth, which is doing much to focus Imperial opinion' in Britain regarding post-war problems. /fin 1910, groups of njen belonging to all political parties were formed in. various centres in Canada, Australia, New 'Zealand, and South Africa, for the purpose of studying the Imperial Problem. Other groups were subsequently brought into existence in the United Kingdom', India, and Newfoundland, and they all came to bo known informajly as "Round Table Groups." In examining the various aspects of the Imperial problem, pitliminary studies were distributed to th& groups for their criticism, and these, when collected, were printed and circulated. . The whole were subsequently made tlio substance of a lengthy report on the Imperial problem, but it "was deemed desirable, by way of introduction, to crystallise in a concise analysis the answer to tho question: "How a British citizen-can acquire the same control of Foreign Policy as one domiciled in the British Isles." Mr. Curtis's first book sought to show what, in tho nature of things, are the changes which must be made before a British subject in the Dominions can acquire self-govern-ment in tho same degree as one domiciled in the British Isles. His latest book, announced above, deals with tho main question. The first boqk, which i 3 entitled "The Problem of the Commonwealth," is procurable locally, or .through Messrs. Gordon and Gotcli, and forms an admirable introduction to the larger volume.]
