SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF EMPIRE
♦ By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright London, February 8. Lord Curzon, speaking in the House of Lords on the Imperial Conference, said: "We have often spoken of the Dominions as 'sons and daughters. . They are now passing out of the stage of filial relationship into a fraternal union. The conference may form ■ a nucleus around which will be created an Imperial Constitution." He looked to the representation of India as a means of removing the misunderstandings which had hitherto prevailed. The idea held in the Dominions that India wafl a dangerous and unhealthy competitor in the labour field had vanished on the battlefield. The Dominions now realised that the Indians were fellow subjects with similar rights to ourselves. Lord Curzou said the nation was approaching a supreme and terrible timo in the war, and counselled cool-headed-ness in view of the submarine campaign, for combating which the Government was devising various measures.
