Pit A ( F PROTOCOL. BRITISH PACT WITH RFIJHI’M. LONDON, January 2. The "Daily Telegraph's” diplomatic corresondout says: "It is no secret that the soundings of the Dominions in reference to the proposed imperial Conference has not proved encouraging while officially the distaste for such a conference is based on the difficulties of the Prime Ministers leaving the Dominions, it, 0 not concealed in some quarters that a stronger reason for not favouring the conference is a feeling that protocols and pa-is involving po-sihle war committments, will lie regarded as repugnant to the spirit and letter ol the dominions' constitution. This increases the importance of a report front Brit' cls that Britain is cons'.deing some form of security guarantee to Belgium to which it is believed the dominions will lint offer any opposition, as it will only entail a renewal of Britain’s traditional guarantee.” ,

Though it is a moot point whetherthe Dominions will concur in the conclusion of any definite military engagement. even with Begittm. it should he pointed out that the Franco-Belgian pact, unlike the Celteva Protocol, does not enroach upon any Parliamentary sovereignity, but leaves the Parliaments to decide on their action in the event of a crisis. "The British guarantee to Begium will benefit France almost equally as much as a direct guarantee to France by restricting the German front of attack.”
