CANADA.

THE PEACE TREATY, By telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlsht. Ottawa, Sept. 10. When Parliament was debating the Peace Treaty, Oppositon members argued that approval by the Canadian Parliament would not make any difference in the treatment. Mr. Ernest Lapoint declared that president Wilson had taken up the position that Canada was not entitled to vote under the ruleß of the League of Nations. He asked, if Canada were 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 Lord Jellicoe's visit, ho suggested that when the Admiral arrived he should be treated with the greatest consideration and told that, as far as advising Canada was cohcerned, it would be wiser for him to wait until the people of the country asked his advice. On behalf of the Government the need and urgency of securing Britain's ratification in order to legally end the war Was stressed—Aus.-N.Z. Cahle Assn.

Received Sept. 11, 5.5 p.m. Ottawa, Sept. 10. French-Canadian opposition, to the peace treaty is developing in the House of Common*. Quebec speakers point out that it is unnecessary for the Dominions to ratify peace, as their constitutional position prohibited them from making peace or declaring war. Sir R. Borden (Premier) pointed out that the Dominions were at present in a transition stage, and the exact conati* tutional position has yet to be settled.—
