SIR JOSEPH WARD
HIS PROPOSALS CRITICISED. "BEYOND OUR RIGHTS AND POWERS.". By cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Sydney, April 26. The Herald declares thatj reli?ved of its rhetoric, Sir Joseph Ward's f'Voposnl claims for Australia and New '/. aland equality with the Motherland in all the complex detail of the direction of the Empire. The claim is beyond our rights and powers. If Britain falls, we fall. Therefore we have not the right to demand it, and this proposed equality is beyond our power. In spite of our development we can do little to help Britain in her tremendous task. The intricacies of foreign relationship are delicately balanced round the whirlpool which has its centre in Europe especially, and will be beyond the function of the Dominion outskirts for a long time to come. The best help we can render will be to help ourselves.
