. STATUS OF THE DOMINIONS. Press Association— Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association London, August 31. The Morning Post, editorially discussing the Imperial Conference, says: ‘Tire mere fact that Mr Bald-.. win, whenever any foreign crisis arises, must bo saying to himself I wonder what the Dominions* will say to tluis,’ itself constitutes a political revolution of the first magnitude. In addition to the claims of the Dominions there is anothchr force, almost equal in importance, working _ its w.il! on Europe, namely the United States o" America. Tho. Dominions have an 1 vantage over the United States, inasmuch as through constant touch with Britain they display both in the press and the utterances of their statesmen a very shrewd knowledge of European polities. If Mr Baldwin can succeed in directing the resources of the Empire into tho right channels and focus the attention of Dominion statesmen on the essentials of the European problem, ho will have rendered priceless service to mankind, and his success may encourage Pr sident Coolidgc in his task, which is equally important and much more di(limit.”
