CLASH OF POLICY

BRITISH EMPIRE UNITS PROFESSOR SEWELL’S VIEW “PUBLIC BEWILDERED” (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday That Britain no longer thought so much in terms of the Dominions and that there was a possibility that the units of the Empire might clash in their policies In the future mainly for the reason that Britain was unable to provide defence for the whole were Impressions gathered by Professor W. A. SewelL professor of English at Auckland University College, who returned on the Monterey to-day after a visit to England. Professor Sewell said Mr Chamberlain and his supporters were definitely pro-Fascist. They would rather do anything, ha believed, than ally themselves with Russia and would save peace by concessions to Fascist powers. The public of Britain appeared completely bewildered. He though they were not behind Mr Chamberlain nor yet behind the Opposition. The people seemed to be plumping blindly and almost thoughtlessly for rearmament aa If It were the only thing they eould support. They believed that Mr Jordan's statements at Oeneva were right but not expedient.
