THE EMPIRE.
THE DOMINION'S RESPONSIBILITIES By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 10, 11.30 p.m. London, May 16. The Rev. Thomas Lawrence, lecturer at King's College, speaking on the colonies and international law, strenuously opposed the in-and-out character of empire theory. He contended that a Dominion proclaiming itself nontral in wartime should be compelled to enforce neutrality against the Motherland, and not allow the passage of British troops or permit British ships to use its harbors. No Power at war with England •would forego the right to consider the whole Empire an enemy, and attack and capture where it, pleased. He concluded that the Empire must stand or fall together, emphasising that while the Dominions were allowed to arrange commercial treaties, they were technically i...ide by the Foreign Office.
