CANADA'S ATTITUDE'
DEFENCE STUMBLING BLOCK United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright . (Received June 8, ll;.3O a.m.)'. : ' LONDON, June 7. The political writer of the Au3' traliah Associated" Press agency learns that any possibility of the Imperial Conference adopting important resolutions as an outcome of the foreign affairs discussions indicating Empire unity on the maia issues has vanished as a result of the attitude of Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada. It transpires that Mr. Mackenzia King has been a stumbling block throughout, adopting the attitude that Canada is cafe under America's wing, and that the rest of the Empire should look after itself in the best way it can. It is believed that Mr. Mackenzie King even went so far as to say that while Canada supported the Empire it was not going to be dragged into any European upset or even into a fight, say, for Egypt, ok psrhaps any part of the Empire. This attitude resulted in today's meeting of heads of delegations having to recast the foreign policy resolutions drafted as a result of the earlief speeches. It is understood that the resolutions provided for Empire unity, on certain questions, including support of the League. •
