MR BONAR LAW'S SPEECH.
GREATER POWERS FOR THE DOMINIONS.
August 5, 3,00 pm; • Mr. Bonar Law in His speech at Folkestone further said that there was no more striking example in the world to-day thad the part played by the British Dominions. Tas Germana had lost în Africa territory as large sa the German Empire. Tae forces of the self governing Dominion, were led by its Premier, sad the feeling of pride in this victory was increased enormously by the knowledge that the man who had fought against Eaglead only fifteen years ago was the man who gave his word to stand by the Empire. He
was standing by it nably to-day.
Mr. Bonar Law paid a tribute to the deeds of the Canadians and the Australasians. Things would not be the same after the war. The mother-land had already arranged with the Dominions that they should have their say in the peace negotiations. That was a great step, but only a step. He had long hoped, and now believed, that the time would come when the whole of the Dominions, in proportion to their population and resources, would "share with the mother-land the duty and honour of governing the Empire.
