Nevile Henderson, the British Ambassador to Ger- many, the recent decision of the British Government to set a Parliamentary Com- mittee to examine and report on the affairs of the British Empire attains an important significance. As far as can be gathered from opinion ex pressed in the press at home and elsewhere, the reaction to. the British Government's pro- posal has been somewhat mixed. The Committee will consist of a Select Committee of the House of Commons and will be appointed at each session. The terms of refer- ence invest this body with the 644 duties of a roving commission and it will be headed by a chairman appointed from amongst those prominent members who have made a special study of Colonial pro- blems.
