ALIENS BILL DROPPED.
RIGHTS OP DOMINIONS CLASH. By Telejraph.—Tress Assn.—Copyright. London, May 18. In the House of Lords, Lord Stanhope, moving the second reading of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Bill, said that it largely modified the Act of 1914 and subsequent measures. He contended that foreigners ought not to be admitted while ex-ser-vice men were walking the streets employedThe Lord Chancellor declared that the proposals were wholly unworkable, the Bill could not be amended and, inter alia, would involve a revolution of the whole system existing as the result of repeated conferences between the Home and Dominion Governments. It would involve a breach of the understanding with the latter and constitute an attempt to legislate for the Dominions within their own territories, which they undoubtedly would resent, and to which it was wholly impossible to give effect. The Bill was dropped without a division.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
