The Formula.
The formula might tempt the foreigner to think it was devised rather to make mutual interfer ence impossible than to make mutual co-operation easy, but this criticism ignores the historic sit- uation. That tendency towards equality of status was both right and inevitable. Geographical and other conditions made this impos- sible of attainment by way of federation, and the only alterna- tive was through autonomy.
The Committee notes as a special- ly interesting development the ap- pointment of an Irish Minister in Washington and the forthcoming appointment, there of a Canadian Minister, and feel that most fruit- ful results could be anticipated from co-operation of the King's representatives in the United The British Empira, however, is States.
