IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
LORD CHARLES BERESFORD ON COLONIAL INDEPENDENCE. United Pukss Association —Copyright. (Received September .5, 5.5 p.m.) OTTAWA, Sept. 5. Lord Charles Beresford, speaking at the National Club, Toronto, said that if the Imperial Government interferes with the Dominions in any way in the control of the administration of defence, it would place the Dominions in a subordinate position, in which they ought not to be. He continued .* “It is thought there may be some danger of the Dominions declaring the'mselves independent. Well, if they did, who is going to oppose them? You don’t suppose the Old Country will do it.” He added that it would be regrettable if the Dominions declared! their independence, yet'they had a perfect right to do so, but he did not believe there was any shadow of a chance of their doing so.
