BRITAIN AND DOMINIONS
LORD STRATHSPEY'S PROPOSAL REPRESENTATION IN HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 10. (Received May 11, at 11 a.m.) “ The Jubilee offers' a unique opportunity fpr revising dominion representation in London,” Lord Strathspey told the * jSun-Herald ’ service. “ Hitherto the dominions have not exactly received a fair deal. Britain is too. inclined to trade with' foreigners at their expense. I suggest that the high commissioners should be offered seats in the House of Lords and that the dominions be empowered to select representatives to sit in the House of Commons. The Empire representatives would vote on Imperial questions and act as observers when domestic matters were discussed. Straight talks in Parliament from dominion representatives would help to bring members of the Cabinet face to face with realities, especially when foreign commitments in trade or other matters were discussed.”
