DROPPING THE PAINTER
"DAILY HERALD'S" PESSIMISM.
LONDON, 18th October. On the eve of the Imperial Confer-' ence it is interesting to note tho Labour view expounded editorially in the "Daily Herald," which declares: "The Conference is confronted with a series of problems which its forerunners have created, but which have not hitherto been frankly faced. Step by step the Dominions have freed themselves -torn every vestige of direct control of policy by Downing Street. Today at least three Dominions are claiming a status which is that of fully independent sovereign States, free to make war, though the Motherland remains at peace, and vice versa, free to carry on their own diplomacy and make treaties and alliances without the Mother Country. This claim cannot be denied without provoking storms unf orseeable in their consequences, yet, once conceded, what becomes of the Empire?" The "Herald" adds: "The painter has not been cut. It has just been quietly dropped." ,
