PROBLEM OF EMPIRE

The Voice Of The Dominion's
The recent arrival in London of a representative of New Zea- land's first Labour Government, to take up the offer of High Commissioner for the Dominion in Great Britain, may serve to reopen a question of prime importance in Imperial relations.

Detre aided the aliftude record from Italy. Before Italy secured it the record was held for Great Britain by Mr. C. F. Dwins, who is carrying out tests on the new mu- chine.
It is common knowledge that Mr. W. J.

Commissioner in London,, while at the same time he retained a seat in the Canadian Cabinet. In a memorandum presented by a visit- ng delegation of the Canadian Ministry to the British Govern- ment in 1889, it was set out that "the Canadian Government at- lých great importance to this mat- ter (the appointment of a Resid- ent Minister), and hope that her Majesty's Government will see no

But the other Dominions did not give serious attention to the mat- ter until the Imperial Conference of 1911, when the appointment of representatives on the Committee of Imperial Defence discussed. It. WH unanimously agreed that the Dominions should -be represented by Ministers rea- ponsible to their own Parliaments.
