and the British self-governing domini- nns. People sometimes talk as if the dominion partnership were a one sided affair in which the dominions gave up something of abstract independence and we ‘n Britain gave up nothing. It is not so. Britain has given up some of her independeneca in order to make the dominions imperial partnership a real thing. There can only be one foreign policy for the Empire, but precisely bacause there can be only oone foreign policy the dominions are called igto con- sultation. The foreign policy is now arranged after consultation and agrea- ment with the dominions. The Brit- ish Government has given up the prictice which thev formerly exer- cisad of deciding foreign polities with- out consultation with the domini- ons. Even the standard and. streangth of the Beizish Navy, [ understand, was made a subject of consultation be- tween the dominions and an agreement with the British Government. The re- cent [mperial conference in fact thz dominion partnership is not something in which tne British Government i 3 su- perior and the others subordinated. It is an equal partnership hetween rhe par- ties. We are prepared to take Ireland into partnership precisely on the same terms as the self-governing dominions. I believe it is the orly solution at which the Government is aining, we must again have the consent of the other dominions. You cannot bring a new partner into the Imperial council board on the same terms as the old partners without having the good will of the others’’. Viscount Grey said that it was very likely that the consent of the other self-governing dominions to the admission of Ireland had been secured. If not, he said, he had no reason to doubt that it could be easily secured. ‘‘But let us bear in mind,”’ e said in conclu- sion, ‘‘that when we are talking do- minion partnership, w 2 have got to make it real partnership all through. We can- not even diseuss [reland coming into that partnership on the same terms without an agreement with the self-Gov- erni..g dominiuns already in the Impe- rial council.”’ Montreal, October 12th. -The exten- sion of .he services of the Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd., to the West Indies, is announced by the company.
