IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
SUGGESTED BY BRITISH LABOUR MEMBER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, September 12. The Dominions, especially after their excellent efforts during the war, are entitled to play a larger part in the British Commonwealth, both economically and political, said Mr E. Shinwell, (Labour M.P. for Seaham) in a speech in the County of Durham. “It would be to our advantage to strengthen economic co-operation within the Empire. This would not injure other nations with whom we promote economic arrangements on terms of equality. Why should not an Imperial Parliament be created in which all the Dominions and Colonies would be adequately represented? They may solve the Indian problem and could promote a higher standifrd of living throughout the Empire.” Mr Shinwell said British-American co-operation after the war would have to bo based on equality, and not dictated by American industrial and financial interests.
