Suggested Abolition Of Dominions’ Office
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY AT WHITEHALL United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, February 10. Whitehall is not disposed to take the reported South African suggestion that tho Dominions’ office be abolished, too seriously. It is understood that no official representations regarding the matter has been made from the Dominions. It was pointed out that in any case the Dominions’ office is an integral part of the structure of the British Government, and it would be as reasonable for the Dominions to demand the abolition as for the United Kingdom to demand the abolition of the Dominion Departments of external affairs.
It was considered that the Johannesburg report may not have the slightest official backing.
