London, January 19.
“The Times” commends Mr. Coates’s appointment of .Mr. F. D. Thomson, aud says that without continuous consultation between Britain and the Dominions the doctrine of equality of status becomes unreal and almost meaningless. Dispatches scut to the Dominions from Downing Street in these davs do not err in the direction of un-dcr-statement. Information supplied is so full and formidable that when affairs nearer home are pressing it is fatally easy for what may be apparently n routine document from London to be pigeon-holed and then overlooked. The editorial reviews Australia’s anil Canada’s experiments in a similar direction, and adds that there is no reason why all the Dominions should adopt precisely the same methods for keeping in touch with the Mother Country. Indeed, it is probably by the variety of their experiments that the best system is most likely to be reached— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
