1516 IMPERIAL UNITY [PART VIII claimed this to be a sound principle in the interests of the Empire. The Declaration itself he thought an advance upon the existing position, and he held that the balance of advantage was clearly in favour of ratification. Sir Edward Morris! on behalf of Newfoundland, similarly welcomed the readiness of the Imperial Government to accept for the future the principle of consultation, and he thought that the creation of an International Prize Court and the definition of its sphere of operations by the Declara- tion were of great value. Mr. Fisher ? then expressed his readiness to move a new resolution in place of that which he had brought forward. The new resolution, which was drafted in consultation with the Imperial Government. ran -— That this Conference, after hearing the Secretary of State tor Foreign Affairs, cordially welcomes? the proposal of the [mperial Government, viz. : (a) That the Dominions shall be afforded an opportunity of consultation when framing the instructions to be given to British delegates at future meetings of the Hague Conference, and that Conventions affecting the Dominions provisionally assented to at that Conference shall be circulated among the Dominion Governments for their consideration ; and (b) That a similar procedure, when time and opportunity and the subject-matter permit, shall as far as possible be used when preparing instructions for negotiation of other inter- national agreements affecting the Dominions. This resolution was unanimously accepted, the qualifica- tion under the second head being sufficient to remove the objections felt by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to any system under which the Dominions should claim an absolute right of being consulted as to international treaties, thus bringing upon themselves the corresponding absolute obligation to take active part in British wars. Sir Joseph Ward * then suggested that the Conference ought to pass a resolution in favour of the ratification of the ' Cd. 5745, pp. 129, 130. ? Ibid., pp. 130 seq. * A phrase suggested by Sir E, Morris as more appropriate than concurs’ ' od. 5745, p. 132.
