THE LOCARNO PACT.
A DELICATE PROBLEM.
POSITION OF DOMINIONS,
WILL THEY SIGN ON DECEMBER it.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received November 21, 9.0 a.m.), tLONDON, November 20. It is learned that a unique and delicate problem of constitutional etiquette is exercising Downing Street. It is whether the Dominions should attend to sign the Locarno Pact on December 1. Since the Dominions acquired the status of separate nations, sending \ their own representatives to the League of Nations, they have been exhaustively informed of the development in foreign affairs. The general elections in Australia. Canada and New Zealand complicate the position. Moreover, Britain is not yet aware whether any of the Dominions will have ratified the pact before December 1. It is presumed that New Zealand, from her long and ready acquiescence in Britain’s lead, would be prepared to sign, but it would be an anomalous position if New Zealand were the only Dominion attending the. historic ceremony on December 1.
