THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
VOTES OF THE DOMINIONS. ATTITUDE OF CANADA. By Telegraph Press Assn.—Copyright. Ottawa, Feb. 19. Mr. Arthur Meighon, Minister of the Interior, who is generally regarded as the probable successor to Sir Robert Borden in the 'Premiership, in a speech referring to the United States Senate's ciaim that America was not bound by the decisions of the League of Nations, declared that membership of the Loasue without being bound by its decisions was a more sham, consequently the Senate's proposed reservations would mean that either Canada or the United States would have to step from the Lenguc. The Canadian Government was taWng an unequivocal and determined stand that Canadian representation was essential if her right of nationhood was not to be abrogated. Canada demanded and insisted on her rights and could recognise no League where Canada'.- vote and representation were not conceded. In a spcecli at Winnipeg the Minister of the Interior (Mr. Meighan) said that ho regretted the United States challenging Canada's status as a nation. The position that English controlled Canada was untenable, since the United States would' dominate Hayti, San Domingo and other nations permitted to vote in the League.
