TOO MUCH ADVICE
FROM VISITORS TO CANADA.
MINISTER'S POLITE PROTEST.
WHAT AUTONOMY IMPLIES.
(Received Friday, 9.35 p.m.)
OTTAWA, February 3. Speaking at a banquet in honour of the Premier, Mr. Mackenzie King, Mr. Lapointe (Minister of Justice) said: “I cannot see by what process of reasoning it could be argued that autonomy implies more military obligations. May I even suggest that distinguished visitors would perhaps be better advised if they refrained from offering so much advice to the people of Canada as to how they should deal with matters which are exclusively their own business. Autonomy means selfgovernment in all matters. In problems of defence as in other questions it is for the Parliament of Canada to decide.”—(A. and W.). (Mr. Lapointe’s observations no doubt relate to speeches made by the Prime Minister of Australia (Mr. 8. M. Bruce) while he was passing through Canada).
