EMPIRIC’S DANGER. IN SECURITY PACT. RIGHTS OF THE DOMINIONS. 1 LONDON, March 28. Lord Beaverbrook, the author of brilliant records of the war, in a prominent ' article in the Sunday Express condemning the security pact, says all such schemes are dangerous from the viewpoint of Britain, while from the Imperial standpoint they constitute a • menace greater than any risk they propose to remove. Once Britain contracts into a system of European diplomacy and war, the Dominions will contract out. It is utterly impossible for Downing Street to treat the Dominions as 41 kind ol appanage, whose citizens’ lives can be signed away to defend the Rhine or i to fight a battle on the Vistula. Intervention in Europe will be the cause of i far more wars than it is likely to prevent.
