22 MORE DOMINION ENVOYS UNLIKELY Canada and Ireland Expect- ed to Remain Only Ones With Legations in America. Canada and Ireland are likely to remain for many ve:rs the only units of the Briish Empire having d plo- matic representatives in Washington acting independently of the British embassy, although Zealand and South Africa can send ministers here if they so desire. ' This was the opinion expressed yes- terday at the Irish legation and by the Canadian representative at the British embassy followine the denial by Premier Pruce of Australia that Sir Hugh Denison, Australian high commissioner in N w York, was to be elevated to minister and move his quarters to Washing on. Canada. however, wil! establish her legation in a building apart from the embassy, which has not yet been selected. as soon as Vincent Massey, recently appointed Minister, comes to Washington. Massey now is in Lon- don and is not expected ‘o come to his post here before the first of the vear. New Brass Plate Arrives. The Irish Free State has maintained & separate legation for two years, first in the Investment Building, and now at 1800 Connectic The big brass plate for t legation just ar- rived from Ireland last week and was put in place yesterday. The other dominions are Imllkfllyl to send ministers here, It was explain- ed yesterday, because they have no actual need for them and such a move could only be interpreted as a gesture of natlonal consciousness. But for such a purpose, it was pointed out, the establishment of a legation 13 extremely expensive and not like- Iy to be undertaken. Both Ireland and Canada, it was explained, have specific reasons for maintaining independent legations here. The former state has a very large raclal representation here. Purely diplomatic questions relating to immi- gration, dual cltizenship and alli-d subjects arise continually, so that they Keep the legation staff busy. If the Irish Legation was not here an equally large staff would have to be kept at the British Emba to at- tend to the work. This work seldom overlaps with that of the embassy, although naturally both often deal with similar questions and the most friendlv relations are maintained. Canada long has kept a represent- ative at the emba: There are a multitude of purely diplomatic de- tails arising between the United States and the Dominion because of their proximity, which can best be attended to by an accredited minis- ter from Ottawa stationed in Wash- ington. But, it was pointed out, the only considerable interests of ~Australa, South Africa and New Zealand in the United States are commercial rather than diplomatic, and can best be at- tended to by commercial represent- atives. Between the United S and any one of these dominions an actual diplomatic question does not arise once in six months. There is no contiguity, as in the case of Can- ada, and no extensive exchange of population, as in the case of Ireland. Immigration is practically non-ex- istent. e Under these conditions, it was polnted out. the embassy staff easily can attend to the rare diplomatic is- sues that arise and independent min- is'ers would be superfluous. Between the United States and New Zealand intercourse is so slight that not even & trade commissioner is maintained. Dominions Practically Independent. The clear recognition at the recent imperial conference of the practical independence of the dominions of the British Empire, it was explained, must not be taken to indicate that they will set the machinery of sep- arate states. They will make full use of the tried and trusted machinery of the empire, but have the power to supplement this where their own in- terests are particularly invol Thus Ireland makes sending independent most of the European capital: which she has no intimate rel being satistied to have the infrequ diplomatic occasions involving her tended to by the staff of the imperi: embassy. But in the United Stat her Interests are far from id The same obtains for the Vatic shere she Is considering sendins a representative Canada probably will not extend her powers as an independent unit any further, diplomatically, than the United States, since with other mna- tions she has not the diplomatic busi- ness to warrant such a step. Any <uch expensive gesture as the setting up of a complete diplomatic machine, merely to satisfy national pride. doubtless would be deeply resented by the voters of any of the imperial do- minfons, who appreciate that one of the great advantages to membership in the British union of free states ility of co-operation. The establishment of an Australian legation, it is believed at the embassy, may come eventually, but not until relations between the two countries are much more intimate than at pres- ent. The high commissioner in New York now works in the closest co- operation with the embassy when any diplomatic questions arise in the course of his work. DEBS’ MEMORIAL HERE.

November 27.—The authorities of Breslau have not exactly an elephant on their hands, but they appeared to have something very like it after bailiffs had levied on the pro- prietress of an exhibition of freak animals to collect a judgment of 1,600 marks. The bailiffs seized a six-legged calf, a dwarf monkey, a doe witn five legs, a rare speci- men of a heron, a buzzard and a five legged pig. The whole outfit was removed to the courthouse. At last accounts authorities were wondering how long it would take the seized goods and chat- tels, with the hearty appetites displayed, to eat up 1,600 marks’ worth of provender, and whether the court would permit the city to collect the cost of the food from the successful plaintiff in the suit.
