THE BRITISH EMPIRE. '

LONDON, September 13th The l'on in aŭ «ditorial on the dis Missions in the Canadian and South African Parliaments, in regard to the Peace Tresay, 'sayy that the approval as the Dominion Parliaments was a foregone onclusion, but far more important is Dominion opinion about the affect of peace upon the position of the Dominions within the Empire.

Bo far, this side of the Treaty has not geceived much attention in this country. General Smuts,, is a very remarkable speech, shows what the signature of the Uremy by the late General Boths and him. wolf means, camely, that the Dominion peoples, for the Arrî time, received inter- Datxinal recognition apart from the British GovEFAÏSEN).

It is an impense development, and General Smuts is right to make much of it, even apart from his use of it as an

against argt.mend

Herzog General When Gmaral Smuts speaks of the repre- sentative of the Dominions arting in the future for the Dominions, be is thinking, no dasht, of the League of Nations.

It is very interesting to know that the South African delegate, to the League grill be appointed soon, bus the new band. ing of the Dominions will have many Bakaequotess: apart irem she operation al Who League of Natiana, and General muts deca noi exaggerate when be says that the whole basis of the British Em-

ire hus been altered

In practice, the alteration may not be véry great, að least so far as the internal aystem of the Empire is concerned, but it is not so with the international standing of the Doza.inions. In thin connection. the doctrine which found expression at the Peace Conference is the new doctrine in advañss of the Imperial practice, and the task of the future will be to bring the practice of the Empire into correspon- dence with the theory established at the Conference a. consequence of the pars | played by the Dominions in the war.

General Bmata is aware of this, and so is every Dominion leader, for instance Mr. Rowell, in the Canadian Parliament. soid The Resoury machinery to give Canada full nation-bood has not yet been worked out,"

The Times conglades: Till that is done,

the British Government must still represent the Dominions

in many international segotiations. The resident Dominion Ministers in London will help to keep the British Government in touch with Dominion opinion, but much more than that is needed.

It is certainly desirable that the initia tire in pressing for

MA CHURCHILL'S OFFICEAL. BOTA

LONDON, September 11th

Mr. Winston Churchill, in an official Note. replying to criticisms of British policy in Worth Russia says that the policy, acesped by the House of Commons

on

July 9 is being speedily and puss sually pursued The decisions on, which it was based are irrevocable. There is no reason to appone that General Rawlin- son, who supremely commands the British forces in Archangel and Murmarisk, will not snodved in his task at an early data

Nevertheless, the peculiar difficulty of the withdrawal operation must be realised. The enemy "forous on the abere- mentioned fronta may well be equal to the combined British and Russian nationals. The, attitude of the” istler, Who are much more numerous than the British, and also the attitude of the civil population, must de inevitably affected by the British withdrawal. Thus, the task of extricating the British, while injuring the Ruasim nationals subsequent charces as little as possible, is very complex.

The Government consider it their duty to offer refuge to all the Russians who compromised themselves with the Bal sheviks through nusisting th Consider ably number of persons, including wo men and sildren, berides the British troops, zwet therefore be evacuated by

KOL

Mr. Churchill scathingly describes the suggested process of simply marching the British inte transports, sad sailing away under cores of the warships' guns, a Ekely to resalt in a series of episodes dis- hondurable to the British name, The military authorities have always insisted that the British could not be withdrawn except by rtain · offensive operations with a limited scope, in order to dis- angage the front

It would be wrong and unpatriotic to increase the difficulties of withdrawal in the most critical phase by inspiriting the enemy and disheartening the Bussion tationala

Referring to the allegations published in the Press by Lieut. Colonel Sherwood Kelly, regarding the British operations in North Rain, Mr. Churchill says that Lieut. Col. Kelly was removed from his post on August 19th, and sent back to England for a serious breach of the Army Act. General Rawlinson had reported that he only "refrained from court-mar- tialling him owing to his gallant record. Licut. Col Sherwood Kelly is now also "an offender against the King's Re- gulations and will be subjected to dis diplinary action.

Mr. Churchill proceeds to recapitulate the steps taken (and already published)

the British with ia connection with drawal. He refers to the upsetting of British plans to withdraw from North Russia without risk, difficulty, or anxiety as regards the fate of the North Rusin Government and the Army owing to the failure of Admiral Kolkhak's plan to join up with the North Russians.

It is not proposed to issue any state ment of policy regarding the progress of operations and British yes are no langer endangered by publicity, or Ras- sian nationak' interests' prejudiced

Referring to the numerous rumosis about anti-Balshevik forces in the Baltic States and the Petrograd front, which are chießy ascribed to Bolshevik wireless reporta, he says that no British were over employed there, nor had the British Government ever accepted responsibility for those military operationA We caly furnished munitions and advice The British Navy, with its superb efficient, prevented the Bolsheviks frem raiding. the Baltic ports.

He points out in this connection that the Baltic States have been subjected to social dangers from the Bolsheviks and political dangers from Germany. These could not be averted single-handedly by Great Britais, but they have engaged the attention of the Peace Conference for time The problem can only be grappled by the victorious Allies acting concertedly.

PRESS COMMENTS.

LONDON, September 19th. A special correspondent of the Man chester Guardian suggests that the British- evacuation of North Russia may be car- ried out by way of the Baltic and not by the Arctic Ocean, and that the pre- liminary step will be so advance on Petrograd
