Mr.MackenzieKing,PrimeMinister, madesceneremarkablestatementsin theCanadianParliamentregarding theattitudeofCanadatowardsBritain.

HewasspeakingregardingtheLausanneTreaty,andhavingsaid,ineffect, thatCanadawouldnotratifyaTreaty inthenegotiationsofwhichshewas notrepresented,addedthattherewere threealternativesconfrontingthem:

(1)Completeindependence;

(2)AnnexationwiththeUnited States;

(3)Amoreclearlyrecognisedrelationshipasaself-governingnation withintheEmpire.

HebelievedanImperialParliament impossible,andanImperialCouncil,as proposedinsomequarters,wouldbe disruptive.

BoundOnlybyHerOwnLaws.

Mr.MackenzieKing,Premier,made alongstatementintheHouseofCommonsonthepositiontakenupinrespecttotheLausanneConferenceand Treaty,saysaReuterOttawacablegram.Heemphasisedthefactthat particularobjectionhadbeentakento theprocedureadoptedbytheBritish GovernmentinaskingCanadatoratify aTreatyimposingobligationsonher whenCanadahadnotbeeninvitedto participateintheConference,andwas notdirectlyrepresentedamongthesignatories. Reviewingthestandtakenatthe ImperialConference,hedeclaredhe

Treaty.ThewholeoftheBritishEmpireinrelationtotherestofthe worldwillstandontheTreatyasratified.butasrespectstheobligations arisingoutoftheTreatyitself,this Parliament,ifregardistobehadto therepresentationswhich,fromthe outset,weremadetotheBritishGovernment,willinnowayheboundby anyobligationbeyondthatwhichParliamentofit!ownvolitionrecognises 'earisingoutofthesituation.

"Wesaythatthemoralobligations restinguponthisDominionunderthis Treatywillbevastlydifferenttothe moralobligationsimposedunderthe TreatyofVersailles,havingregardto thedifferentmannerinwhichthe wholenegotiationswerecarriedon."

TheOppositionView.

Mr.Meighen,LeaderoftheOpposition,sharplycriticisedtheGovernmentfor,ashealleged,tacitlyacquiescinginthecoursepursuedbythe BritishGovernment-Canada,hedeclared,wascompelledtostandbya Treatywiththenegotiatingofwhich shehadnothingtodo.

However,heagreedwiththePrime MinisterthattheCanadianpeopledesiredthattheirdestinyshouldbeworkedoutasaself-governingnationwithintheEmpire,andthatthatriestir. ehouldbehonourablypursuedincooperationwiththeotherself-governing Dominions.Thatinvolvedinsistence onthefullexerciseofCanada'sselfgoverningpowers.

TheDominionsshouldseektofinda commongroundwithBritainregardingforeignpolicy,approachingthe probleminaspiritoffriendship.The attitudeoftheCanadianGovernment waspracticallythattheBritishGovernmentcouldnegotiateatreaty,and ifconsequenttroubleensuedCanada wouldthendecidewhathercourse wouldbe.IfCanadahadadopted theattitudethatshewasaninterestedpartyandhadassertedherselfshe mighthavedivertedBritishpolicy fromthecoursepursued.

Equal-NothingLese.

Mr.Lapointe,MinisterofJustice,replying,saidhebelieved,perhaps,it wouldbenecessarytohaveanImperialConferencetodefineclearlytheconstitutionalrightsofthevarious partsoftheEmpire.Intheinterests ofBritainitself,theequalityofnationswithintheEmpireshouldbeassertedonalloccasions.Thereshould alwaysbeco-operation,butonlyhonourableco-operation.Theymustnot actasrubberstamps.Canadawas asisternation,andnothingelseshe wouldbe.
