THE DOMINIONS AND DEFENCE
Mr. Pirow, the Minister of De

has made a very frank and .out

inion’s attitude to Imperial, defence/
The Union, he said,’’’is unwilling to
participate in any general scheme
worked but by Great Britain. Mr., Pi-
row. laid some stress on the. risk of
internal trouble or even civil conflict
which might arise if the Union Gov
ernment should “attempt rashly 3 to
commit the country >to participation,
in a future oversea war.” The policy
which he butlined is in ’general ac
cord with British expectations. No
one in this country wishes to drag
South Africa, into War against the
will of her people. It isl fbr them to
decide their line of action if a crisis
„ should arise. This is the principle
which Great- Britain has always .ac
cepted. She did not call upon Canada

number of anti-noise campaigns and
yet to the ordinary ear it sounds as

then, do the anti-noise campaigns -
make, so to speak, so little noise in

Perhaps an authority on acoustics
has just innocently furnished the
explanation in his very definition of
