CANADA'S OFFER.
CRITICISM BY LABOR MEMBER. By Cable —Press Association — London, January 29. Mr. G.

If Mr. Churchill's assurances were accepted, that the defensive forces were sufficient, the three vessels must bo in excess of requirements. Moreover, the giving of the colonies representation on the Defence Committee was fraught with far-reaching consequences, and must be subjected to searching enquiry.
