EMPIRE AT WAR
WHEN .KING OF ENGLAND IS INVOLVED. STATEMENT BY SENATE COUNCIL IN CANADA. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) OTTAWA, March 29. When the King is at war the whole Empire is at war, consequently Canada cannot declare her neutrality in the event of an European war involving Britain, Mr W- F. O’Connor, Senate counsel, informed the Upper Chamber in a requested report on the British North American Act, which established Canada and the King’s personality as indivisible. Such acts as are authorised in his name are merely for purposes of Empire administration, and have no legal basis under English common law.
