CANADIAN PREMIER’S PREDICTION.
“ The position of Canada has been made clear. We .believe it is in the interest of our own country that a closer Empire trade relationship should be established. We believe that it is equally in the interest of the other parts of the Empire that it should be so. In that view there is no disagreement. Canada has suggested a plan by which this may 'be brought about,” said Mr Bennett, the Canadian Premier, in a broadcast address. “In th/e near future it will be either accepted or rejected. We can only await the decision. It will be a momentous one, for I believe, and, believing, I consider it in my duty to say, that if this opportunity for closer Empire eco- ! nomic relations is not seized it may not come again. This, I need not tell you, is in no sense intended nfi a threat. It is rather a prediction, which, unhappily, I believe to be true.”
