The ‘‘Daily Telegraph” predicts that the question of tlie Dominions having a seat in the League of Nations Counei 1 will he a. prominent issue at the Imperial Conference. The “Daily Telegraph” says editorially: “Although the Secretary of State for the Dominions, Mr Amery, is sympathetic with the Dominions on this matter, another view lias prevailed at the Foreign Office. Yet the wisdom of strengthening the British influence at Geneva should he apparent. The tragic farce of the present constitution of the Longue Council lias deeply impressed all the Dominions. They see States which are States in little more* than name invested with positions and powers which might have gone to a Dominion candidate had there been forethought, consultation and a serious intention on the part of Great Britain. It is not remarkable if the feeling in the Dominions has been deeply wounded by this indifference in the very quarter from which they might have expected wholehearted support.” SPAIN AND LEAGUE.
