The Dominions were perfectly free to decide on any policy they thought fit. Great Britain ought to bo regarded as a in the Empire with the DonrH|us. All were bound together to keep the world's peace. The stronger the Empire, the surer was tho guarantee of pence.
Mr Samuel said he thought too mauy Canadians believed that England was the home of mediavialisms such as the House of Lords. This was not so. England at heart was really as democratic as the most democratic of the Dominions.
