Monday evening, as a result of a request from County Auditor A. C.

A great silent revolution within the empire has almost been achieved. Gradually the great colonies have | | been transformed ‘Into self-governing | \domintons and since the World war | this movement has reached such im- Vo that they. are not now con- sidered subordinate to! the, mother country, but her equals and partners that they have the same king. is Four years ago an imperial confer- ence was held in London. In its re- | port it declared in relation to the United Kingdom and the dominions that— “They are autondmous communities \ within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their do- mestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the crown, and freely associated as mem- | bers of the British commonwealth of nations.” With regard to the position of the governor general who is named by the. British government and sent to each of the Dominions, including the Irish Free State, the imperial con- | | ference reported that an essential | such power was granted the British crown. But to make things absolutely clear and final, the committee recommends that the laws passed by the parlia- ments of any British dominions be as free from interference or annulment by Great Britain as are the laws passed by the American congress. Block “Pocket Vetoes” The next enormous step was with regard to “reservation” or the with- holding of assent by a governor gen- eral to a bill duly passed by the legis- lature of a dominion in order that king’s Pleasure may be taken there- on. The committee points out that the constitutions of some of the do- minions give them the ability so to amend the laws as to abolish this power of reservation and they recom- mend that this be done—if the do- | minions so desire. Other dominions have constitutions which require the cooperation of the British parliament for such a, step. In this case, if these Domintons desiré- the change, they recommend that the government of The opinion ; —all bound to each other by the fact | the United Kingdom ask the British - “Sas 5 parliament ¢ pass the necessary legislation.
