RIGHTS OF DOMINIONS.
RELATIONS WITH BRITAIN. ARE POWERS INDEPENDENT? By Telegraph.— Press Assn.—Copyright. Paris, Dec. 18. The press is discussing the British Government’s refusal in regard to Article 18 of the covenant of the League of Nations a*s applying to the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The Echo de Paris -says a double dilemma is presented. Either the Briti.h Dominions are independent Powers, entitled to speak and vote in their own name, or statelites of Britain, whose voices and votes must be merged In the voice and vote of the Imperial Cabinet, but what would Geneva say iif Germany claimed to enter the League, escorted by her eighteen States, and even by Austria, under some treaty or alliance drawn up on the British model? The lesson of the whole affair is that, constituted as she is at present. Britain cannot lend herself to the experiment of the League of Nations in accomplishing its specific task, however small, save at tlie peril of her Empire.
