A Great Partnership. "The "Times" anys: "There is no serious difference of opinion about the theory of Dominion status im- phed in these, recent developments. What is important now is that the Conference should review them with eare and endeavour to answer ques- tions which they raise. Is it pos- sible as to shape our diplomatic arrangements that there is a clear distinction between questions of purely local interest and those which may affect-us all? Can we agree that there are certain spherea in which one partner must take the load, and in particular, of course, that Great Britain as part of Korope "must bear the brunt of European diplomacy? Do we, in fact, and in all cases maintain us effective channels of communica- tion between ourselvog ส ex- perience has provided between friendly foreign States?" If ques- tions like these are faced and ana- wered frankly, the Conference will

render far greater service than by any mere academic talk of 'Equal Status'."
