"TREATY OF DEATH"

! A VIGOROUS CRITICISM

INHERENT ABSURDITY ALLEGED.

:. (Received 26th June, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 25th June. The "Daily Express," in an editorial article, says that Mr. Chamberlain's speech reveals tho marked fact that the Dominions will be allowed to contract out of the Pact. With or without the co-operation of the Dominions (it says), the Government is to put Britain's signature to a treaty of death. Mr. Chamberlain is tho first Foreign Secretary to admit diplomatic disunity as W principle in Imperial policy. He will go advisedly into Europe, though he knows the Empire never will. His view is.that though Franco arid Britain mny b 0 involved in war: against." Germany, -or Germany and Britain may be involved ja war ?gaiast Franc^, BBither Cas-j

j ada, Australia, India, New Zealand, nor South Africa will be at war with ! anyone. ; . . -. "It is only necessary to state the position to see the inherent absurdity. v P^^^berlain's policy triumphs, the Empire, as a political, constitutional, and military'entity, will come theoretic ally to an end."
