ENVIOUS EYES

ON BRITISH DOMINIONS CONTINENT ALARMED “NECESSARY TO SHARE’’ (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Kcceivod November 27. noon). PARIS. Nov., 2b. The unobstnisive manner in which tiu> changes in the relations ot' the Dominions and Britain were announced made Continental commentators slow to realise the importance ot the alterations of Britain’s foreign policy. M. .Tub's Saiterwein, writing in Lc Matin, says: “Suppose under pressure o', population it becomes necessary to examine the question of what territories are available for dermany, Italy, and any other country with an expanding population. Such a question can no longei be referred to Britain, but mm:, be referred to the Dominions. Colonials throughout the v. olid are dil'licui. people to persuade. They make a groat fuss over a slice of territory in the Antipodes; yet some day it will be necessary to share uo the territories of the globe on a fairer basis as the only way of prove nting sanguinary conflicts. Britain 'might be. ready to make concessions, but, South Africa, Australia and NonZealand Parliaments would rise as one man.” * M. Sauerwcin adds: “While all Asia is in a ferment, - the Imperial Conference makes a decision which is humiliating for India. Whereas New Zealand can conclude treaties, India continues in a state of impotence and vassalage. Certain British Dominions already treat India offensively; yet this is land where the microbe of Bolshevism will readily grow.”
