LONDON, 17th August,
Regarding a suggestion that citizens of the Dominions ought-to bo allowed to enter Britain without passports, "The Times" states that, after negotiations between the Dominions. and the Home authorities, tho conclusion has been reached that the advantages of passports on the whole counter-balance any advantage that would be gained by their abolition.-
As long as the general passport system operates, the bona fides of every person landing must be established, said a Colonial Office official. The more statement that a. person belonged to any of the D6minions was not sufficient for the port officials, who must be satisfied regarding the character of the would-be visitor and tho place whence he came. The possession of a passport ended all difficulty and saved delay.
