CANADA IN EMPIRE
OR CANADA IN U.S.A.? POTENT WORDS AT KITCHENER " THE INTERPRETER." (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.! (Received 12 noon.) KITCHENER (Ontario), August 4. The Prime Minister, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, during an address, said: "As Canada is true to herself, and Canadians true to Canada's highest interests, so will Canadian citizenship mean most for Empire citizenship." He asked, were we out of the Empire would Britain not be the first nation with which the Dominion would seek cooperation? Referring to the suggestion of annexation by the United States, he said he believed that both nations' contribution to the civilisation and happiness of mankind was greater under existing conditions than would be possible under any new arrangements.
He said: "As we stand to-day we are in the position of interpreter between the two most formidable bodies of opinion in the world—American and British." (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
