THE EQUAL NATION THEORY
By Tdecraph-Prfisj Asßoelatton-OopjrlitlH ' (Rec. January 27, 10.25 p.m.)
London, January 2G. Mr. Keith Murdoch says the expectations of an Imperial conference being held iii 1920 are dwindling. In official circles it is stated that many, important subjects nro listed for discussion, but Ihe physical difficulties of getting the Dominion Premiers to London are believed to ho insuperable. The leading .Minister connected with the Colonial Office admitted in conversation that Ihe theoiy that tho Dominions were equal nations was not working well in practice. There is all tho paraphernnlia of tho Dominion's delegates signing; treaties with separate seals, yet on great r.ucskions of Empire •pofcy swtV as, ttio \ttVivuta towavte VOwssfo. and the future of Constantinople they nro not consulted. Ho suggested tiiat the Dominion Premiers should permit sceowd Mmistevs to represent, them sometimes in London, though he admitted filar, this involved a trustee! partners/up, such as existed in the case of General Botha and General Smuts.—United Service.
