CONFLICT OF POLICY.
BRITAIN AND THE DOMINIONS.
§ MR CHAMBERLAIN PRO-FASCIST
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 30
Tlijit Britain no longer thought so much in terms of the Dominions, and that there w’as a possibility that units of the Empire might clash in their policies in the future, mainly because Britain would he unable to provide defence for the whole, were impressions gathered by Professor IV. A. Sewell, Professor of English at Auckland University, who returned by the Monterey after a visit to England. Professor Sewell said that Mr Chamberlain and his supporters were definitely pro-Fascist. They would, rather do anything, lie believed, than ally themselves with Russia, and would save peace by concessions to the Fascist Powers.
The public-of Britain appeared to he completely bewildered. He thought that they were not behind Mr Chamberlain, nor yet behind the Opposition. The people seemed to be plumping blindly and almost thoughtlessly for rearmament, as if it were the only thing.they could support.
They believed that tlio statements of the New Zealand- High Commissioner (Mr W. J. Jordan), at Geneva were right, but were not expedient.
