IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
Already we are within striking dis- | tance ot the Imperial Council that will ultimately have supreme ‘ direction in some l'Cgions of the -lilmpire’s affairs. It is quite possible' 1 that the coming Defence Conference will result in the formation of such a council, although it would, of 'course, be concerned mainly with questions relating to Imperial defence. In time it would widen its scope. It is not improbable that in the event of such a body being brought into beintr the New Zealand- representative would be the Prime Minister. Should Sir Joseph Ward find himself faced with the possibility of acting in London as our representative on an Imperial Council, he -would not, we think, bo likely to strongly resist any suggestion that he should take the position. In that case a natural corollary would be the disappearance of the High Commissioner’s Office. —The "Dominion.”
