Please deliver following personal message from Minister to Eden
alone.

Begins.

I would refer you to D.650 and D.651 [1] and our reply No. 244 of
16th September. [2] You are well aware of my views on the topic of
the Dominions, and I feel that unless the present practice is
closely watched a great deal of serious misunderstanding will be
created. Step by step the Dominions are being excluded and I
foresee trouble unless a halt is called to present tendency.

In some respects the position is not as satisfactory as it was
when Lloyd George was Prime Minister. This is a personal message
for you but I have already expressed similar views at British
Cabinet.

I would like you to discuss question particularly with Amery and
Kingsley Wood who will I am confident prefer to regard the proper
unit and party the British Commonwealth rather than United Kingdom
only.

Best wishes. Ends.
