DOMINIONS' TREATY POWERS.
MAKE FOR DISINTEGRATION. (Received 10.20 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. Mr. Hughes regards Sir Wilfrid Laurier's proposal that the Imperial Council should endow the dominions with powers to make treaties with foreign countries as completely opposed to the Imperialistic ideal. If adopted, it might happen, and, in the case of Canada, it would happen, that some portion of the Empire would have better tariff terms with a particular country than other portions had. This would make for the disintegration of the Empire.
