A DENIAL. LONDON, Sept. 10. The story of Sinn Feiners raiding a monitor, is officially denied. The origin of the report is obscure. CANADIAN POLITICS. OTTAWA, Sept. 10.
1 When Parliament was debating the Peace Treaty, the opposition members • argued that approval by tho Canadian Parliament would not make any difference in tlie treaty. Ernest la Point declared that Mr Wilson bad taken up the position that Canada was not entitled, to vote under the rules of the , League of Nations. He asked if Canada was entitled to vote, would she,' if . called upon by the League to send troops to a foreign country have to obey. If so, she would break her own Constitution which provided that Canadian troops should be used only in Canadian defence. Referring to Admiral Jellieoc’s visit, he suggested that, when the'Admiral arrived, he should bo treat ed with the greatest consideration, and told that as far as advising Canada was concerned, it would be wiser for him to wait until the people of the country asked for his advice.
On behalf of the Government, the need and urgency of securing Britain’s ratification in order to legally end tho war, was stressed.
AMERICAN ATTITUDE. WASHINGTON, September 11. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in Its mjority ajeplort, adds that India is not entitled to a vote on the League of Nations, as she is not a self-governing Dominion. If Britain however, lias six votes in the League Assembly, says the report then the United States is entitled to an equal number.
The report states that the League of Nations will really provoke war. The Monroe doctrine has protected the United States for- many years Therelore, now, the United States ought to protect the Monroe doctrine. OBBCgBBBBBfBgBUEBgagBBBBI
