„THE END OF THE BRITISH BOWERN & C

EMPIRE.”

MR. SIDNEY WEBB AND THE CONSTITUTION.

may

The Great War (says Mr. Sidney Webb in the Empire Bevier) saw the end of the British Empire, either as it had existed under Queen Victoria or as our Imperialists conceived it. No ore disented when General Smpts publicly proclaimed this fact. Nowadays, the Dominions are officially recognised as autonomous nations, governed each within the broad ambit of its owa'affairs by its own Ministry, which is responsible only to its own Tegislature, for the authoritative “adrico" by which it directs the executive authority within its own boundaries still wielded in the name (but only in the name) of the King. This is now the high constitutional doctrine. | Any contrary view is as obsoletein short, as treasonable to the Constitution-as the idea that the King can veto an Act of Parliament or goveru independently of the House of Commons. Any one of the Ministries of the nations" in the Britannic Alliance may, of course, bargain with another, and ke agreements with) another. 'One of hem

tender couusel to another-Downing Street to Ottawa just as freely as Otawa to Downing Street-possibly with unequal wisdom though always with equal in. dependence and equal authority. They may all meet in cunference to work out n common policy for independent submission by cach Ministry to its own Legislature, But all the nineteenth century reservations and limitations ou Responsible Government have, in one Dominion, or another, gone by the board. The prerogative of mercy, the grant of titles of honour, the most drastic changes in the local constitution, adhesion or non-adhesion to the negotiation of treaties with foreign powers, the adhesion or non-adhesion to treaties negotiated by other nations of the alliance, the policy with regard to land, shipping, copyright, marriage, and eren curroney, and the aborigines on all these mattera (as upon everything else relating to the colony), the governors, the Colonial Office, and the King himself have no more control to-day, whenever autonomy is insisted on, than they have over the House of Commons. Australia and Canada, South Africa and New Zealand appoint, whenever they desire, their own representatives to international conferences; conclude and ratify inter- national treaties, and enter, the League of Nations (as they have long belonged to, the International Postal Union), on the same footing as the unquestioned independent.

through Parliament. It was rejected last month, on second reading without being carried to a division.

The purpoon of the Bill was to remove the present anomalies in the closing hours of public-houses by introducing a uniform closing hour of 11 o'clock in the metropolis and 10 o'clock in the rest of the country on weekdays and a univer sal closing hour of 10 o'clock on Sundays.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON said that for the sake of people in Central London it was proposed to put 4,200,000 people now, under the 10 o'clock rule under the 11 -o'clock ́rula. He produced 'lotters, tele- grams, and even a telephone message protesting against the proposal. The rector of Whitechapel "had" telephoned, that the difference between 10 and 11 o'clock would be the difference between Heaven antl hell for the children of East" London.

The case of Central London, said the Bishop, should be met by the introduction. of separate, restaurant ficences.

Lord BIEKENHEAD said there, was, not the slightest prospect of the Bill making Any progress, but having regard to the extraordinary experiment proceeding in the United States, it was desirable that they should carefully examine" any proposals brought forward.

Another reason for examining the policy carefully was that it was one which threatened to involve the right rev. prolate in either bysterics or extinction. (Taughter)

Licensing justices were actuated far less. by wisdom than by enthusiasm. Their endeavour had been to make the public house a place to which no really nice minded "artisan could take his wife. They had even forbidden the playing of draughts.

The VICAR OF ISLixGrow had and that most frequenters of public-houses were in favour of closing at 10 o'clock. If that were true it was a remarkable statement: Would it not be much simpler for these people to leave the public houses at 10 ofclook!" bn inquired with a touch of Barcasm. “From the point of view of the education of the mublic, how much (Conkistall as-nṣat Column) 2.
