CANADA AND THE EMPIRE.
“Times change, new problems arise, now economic forces seek expression, hut the Parliamentary system manifests the necessary flexibility and power of adaptation. One notable instance of change and adaptation has come through the rise of three or more parties. Alike in Great Britain and in all the Dominions, it has lieen found necessary, in the last few years to adjust' the working of responsible government to meet this new situation. In domestic affairs tlio members of the British Commonwealth of Nations have for many years guaranteed to all classes the full rights of citizenship, and this confidence in tlio common sense of the ordinary man has not been misplaced; nowhere is there to he found a finer spirit of law-abiding selfrespect equally in the wider field of Imperial relations, the nations of the Empire, under a broad and flexible system of self-government, have learned in apply in their relations with one another the same rules of respect for individuality and of consideration for the common welfare which have been tried .out and found effective between man and man.”—Air Mackenzie King, exPrime Minister of Canada.
