WORLD PEACE.
BRITAIN AND DOMINIONS. "The Great War has taught the Dominions that in spite of the independence they have attained, they still depend on the Mother Country for material support," said Mr. L. K. Munro last evening in the first of a series of public lectures under the auspices of the Auckland University College. The lecturer was dealing with the constitutional relations of the United Kingdom and the Dominions. Professor K.. M. Algie presided. "However," continued Mr. Munro, "the fact that the Dominions were represented on the War Council and at the Peace Conference, and have become members of the League of Nations, has raised them to the position of States." The lecturer then explained certain marked differences between the powers of the British Parliament and' those of the Dominions. He said that the Empire was kept united by various ties of common interest, a common love for democracy, a common allegiance to the Crown and a common- tie of aversion to war. The latter was probably the- greatest instrument of world peace to-day.
