"COLONY" AND "DOMINION."
(JJIOM OCR OTT.V CORP.ESrOXPENT.) LONDON, May 1:0
I la.the House this week Sir C. Kin- > loch-Cooke. M.P.. asked the CuderSecrethrv for the Colonics whether, in view of the misunderstanding that prevails both inside and outside Parliament as to the designations Dominion and Colony, he would Explain the official meaning attaching to these terras. Colonel Amery, in a written answer, says:—The term ''Dominion" i* used officially as a convenient abbreviation of the complete designation "self-govern-ing Dominion/' The term "Colony"' is an abbreviation of the official designation, "Colony not possessing responsible government,''' and includes all such colonies, whether or not they possess an elective Legislature, but does not include Protectorates or Protected States. It may LB convenient to add that the term "Crown Colonies'" is properly applicable only to those Colonies in which the Crown retains control of legislation.
