LEAVING IT TO CANADA
BRITAIN CONCERNED WITH TRADE ROUTES (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.45 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. It is understood that the Foreign Office is leaving the preliminary handling of the I’m Alone affair to Canada, with the close co-operation of Sir Esme Howard, since the schooner’s crew are Canadians, but in view of the bearing the question has on Empire trade routes Britain will, if necessary, take over the conduct of later discussions. London newspapers give prominence to the statement of the captain of the I’m Alone. They lay stress on the serious issues raised by his assertions. According to a British wireless message Captain Randell states he has been a Canadian citizen since 1899. The negro member of the crew who lost his life is said to be a British subject although of French origin.
