LONDON, Aug. 27--There has been much discussion in political circles on the question of Dominion participation in the direction of the war. Point has been lent to this discussion by the recent proceedings in Australia.

In regard to the question of an Cabinet, but already criticism is be Imperial War Cabinet, it is felting made in the country that the War that admirable though such a

Cabinet is too large as at present constituted, suggestion is in theory, it pre- sents enormous difficulties in practice.

Reference is continually made to the Imperial War Cabinet in the last war but in fact that Cabinet only met three times, once in 1917 and twvice In 1018. It was in fact a gathering of Dominion Prime Ministera.

There have been attempts during this wor to arrange for similar meet- Ings of Dominion Prime Ministers, but up to the present it has not been found possible to get them all in this country at the same time.

Full Communication

There has been some discussion on the part played by General Smuts in the last war, but he did not represent either the dominions or South Africa. He was invited by Mr Lloyd George on account of his qualities ns a soldier and statesman and it was in his own individual capacity that he acted in the War Cabinet. That situation would not apply to people who.came to this country s presentatives of the Dominions.

Dominion Ministers

A proposal has also been made that there should be Dominion Ministers attending the War Cabinet. but a point is made of what powers they should be given by their Gov- ernments.
