EMPIRE RELATIONS et Coincides With Signi- ficant Moves OTTAWA SITUATION Believed Negotiations Afoot to Send Minister to London London, Jan. 14.--Willlam T. Cosgrave, who with his party, is now on his way to New York aboard the Homeric, visiting the United States primarily in his ca- pacity of president of the execu- tive council of the Irish Free State, Indirectly, however, it may be expected that there will develop in the course of his brief tour of the principal cities that he will be cast in an even more leading role. The first Premier of any British Dominion to visit the United States since Premier Stanley N, Bruce of Aust returned to his own coun- try ac the American continent, after the Imperial Conference stag- ed here in the fall of 1928, he will be in effect an unofficial ambassa- dor expounding at large the fun- damental change in the status of the British Empire which that con- ference registered, A Real Change When the report of the Imperial relations committee of the Imper- fal Conference was given out in November of that year, London dispatches described it as the Mag- na Charta of the British dominions, and stressed that the main prin- ciples underlying the historic docu- ment, so far from being merely paper changes, constituted a prac- tical revolution in the relations of the constituent parts of the Brit- ish Empire among themselves and with the outside world. This revo- lution first began to take visible shape before the eyes of the world at 'large when the United States and the Free State exchanged ministers plenipotentiary at their respective capitals. Frederick A. Sterling, American will be at Washington during the Free State leader's stay at the federal capital. Now, co-incidently with President Cosgrave's departure on Lis mis- sion to the United States, it is sn- Minister to Dublin, ks | nounced thet the Dominion of Can- ada, following up its naming of 8 minister to Washington, has agreed with France that the two countries should be mutually represented by ministers plenipotentiary, ar 1 Phil- A -- One Thin Woman Gained 15 Pounds In Five Weeks Men and women, weak, thin and miserable, are urged to put on weight and get back their health and strength with McCoy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets.

Furthermore, the decision taken by the last Imperial Conference that in the future the Governors General of the several Dominions would represent the British Crown but not the British Government--a decision already applied in prac- tice as between London and Dub- lin--is expected at the same time to be included in a discussion be- tween London and Ottawa looking toward defining the exact status of the Canalian High Commissioner to London, and the appointment of a similar official at Ottawa, who would, in effect, be British Am- ador to Canada, As a final coincidence with the Free State, it is announced from Cape Town that the coming appro- priations by the Government oi the unions of South Africa are expect- ed to show a provision for the naming of, first, consular, and, la- ter, diplomatic representatives of South Africa in Europe. Mr, Cos- grave has stressed that he is going to the United States as a represen- tative of the Irish nation, not as a politician, But the Premier, who is also head of a party defending its position against a strong republi- can movement at home, with s.ck- ing in America, would clear.y be wasting a legitimate opportun.ty if he falled to emphasize the signifi- cance of these events as translat- ing into practice the principle laid down by the Imperial Conference that Britain and the dominions are autonomous communities within the Empire 'equal in status and in no way subordinate to one another in respect of any domestic or ex- ternal affairs," The prospect that far from ignor- ing this opportunity the Free State leader will make the independence of Ireland and the dominions in ali but name the keynote of his public speeches in the United States is strengthened by the choice of his companions. These Include not only Desmond Fitzgerald, Minister of Defense; and former Minister of External Affairs, but also J. P. Walshe, secretary to the Ministry of External Affairs, but also J, P. to be a close student of the evo- lution of the British Empire and to have decided views as to its de- velopment, President Cosgrave, as well as tightening up the relations between nis own country and the United States, will be acting as ambassa- dor of international understanding in bringing out the reality and rapidity of this development, which is among the most important fac- tors in world affairs today, DUBLIN TOURIST ALARMS QUEBEC Questioned By Police After Being in Seminary Grounds Quebec, Jan. 14, -- A Dublin tourist who decided to visit the Quebec Seminary armed with a camera had a distressing experi- ence when he was later arrested by locel detectives, Through some mistake he found himself ip an interior courtyard after entering the Seminary, and retracing his steps located the main doorway and rang the bell, People in the Seminary had been watching him, and as his actions had appeared suspicious to them, the tourist was informed that the building was a private residence. He turned away and immediately afterwards an alarm was turned in, the police being told of the myster- fous stranger who had introduced himself into the courtyard armed with a large box.
