WORLD AFFAIRS
PART PLAYED BY DOMINIONS. AN EVER INCREASING ROLL. (Rec. 7.50 p.m.) Ottawa, November 11. “The genius of the British race formed of long habit and deep-rooted in the past enabled British peoples to confront their difficulties and solve them,” said the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain speaking at a banquet tendered him by the Canadian Government. He said as between the British Empire and the British Commonwealth of Nations he preferred the latter because it meant that each constituent part was free to pursue its common interest for the Commonwealth, “but the daily interests of each part are but a fraction of those for which the commonwealth exists, and by which it is justified.” He said he was glad the dominions were playing an increasing role in world affairs. Such a situation contained within it elements of danger, but he had profound faith that somehow always our common sense would solve difficulties as they arose. —Australian Press Association.
