DOMINION REPRESENTATION. AGITATION IN SOUTH AFRICA IMPROVED STATUS DESIRED. BY CABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION— COPYBIGHI. Received Dec. 17, 10.9 a.m. LOj.nAiOiN, Dec. 16. The system of Dominion representation in r.oiiQon is agUiU occupying tne attention o± a section of trie tocmwi Airman piess, whose campaign tor drastic alterations' is strongly supported by the Hon. Patrick Duncan, General Minus and tne Minister for the Interior, Dr*. D. F. Malank. Each High Commissioner states that, Mr Duncan should have the status and functions oi an ambassador instead of being, as at present, a combination of a glorified commercial traveller and a moie or less alfable handshaker, who was supposed to ask his own Dominion visitors liow they liked London. The Rand Daily Mail, which shares this opinion, urges that the p rob vein was one for common Dominion action, and expressed the hope that the next imperial Conference would arrive at a complete agreement in regard to the necessity for such a change. If things were allowed to drift as they were now doing, the British Commonwealth ol nations would assuredly be reduced to liul’ity.—Times.
