IMPERIAL DEFENCE
CALL FROM THE SEA DOMINIONS' VuICE IN IMPERIAL COUNCILS. ('Received Last Night, 10.40 o'clock.) LONDON, July 30. Sir George Reid, Commonwealth High Commissioner, im an interview said that Imperal defence was a cal'l from the sea in blood. All the Donunrans 'would do well to respond. Larger sacrifices would tikis .be more KkeJy than cash contributions; but each self-governing Dominion should be left.tf.re ©to make its own response. | herring to the co-ordination of the J Empire's .efforts, he said that calm x uwefiUagaiSon led only to two D-raeti-cai results— the first to unbounded wonder that the Imperial system eo loose and disjointed, worked so marvellously, and the second that the stubborn- fear of closer bonds might le&d to greater friction. The Dominion now can -tafce a share in the Imper*U Councils, which would be more powerful perhaps than they would be entitled to in. an Imperial Parliament ( formed on a basis of population.
