MR. HOLLAND ON THE EMPIRE
DOMINION STATUS DEVELOPMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Mr. H. E. Holland, M.P., Leader of the Labour Party, complains that the Press Association report of the civic farewell to the Prime Minister at Wellington on Saturday night misrepresented him. He states that he suggested that the name of the Imperial Conference should be changed to British Commonwealth Conference, but did not claim that by changing the name of the conference the world’s peace would be advanced.
Mr. Holland traced the developments in connection with Dominion status, showing how the old Imperialistic idea of dictation from Downing Street was gradually giving way to a higher conception of partnerships in'the British Commonwealth of Nations. He expressed the hope that the latter would be capable of broadening into a world commonwealth which would make for the elimination of armed conflict between the nations; in other words, for the dethronement of the God of War and the enthronement of the Prince of Peace.
