CANADA AND AMERICA.
MINISTER AT WASHINGTON. AN INTERESTING POINT. By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 26, 9.40 p.m. New York, April 25. The Evening Post’s Ottawa correspondent says the Budget provision of sixty thousand dollars for the expenses of a Canadian Minister at Washing* ton has precipitated an interesting and important debate upon Canada’s right to separate diplomatic representation. It was long known that Mr. Meighen (Premier of Canada) favored the appointment, but Mr. Meighen’s opponents point out that until the British North America Act is changed, Canada is still a dependency, and a colony cannot take on the trappings of an inpendent nation. The plan is condemned also as being likely to produce friction between the British Ambassador and the Canadian Minister at Washington.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
