CANADIAN MINISTER AT WASHINGTON
* PROBABLE APPOINTMENT. (Rec. November 2, 9.10 p.m.) , Ottawa, November 1. Following a visit of Sir Auckland Geddes with the Premier, Mr. Mackenzie King, it is learned that an official announcement of the appointment of Sir Charles Fitzpatrick as Canadian Minister at Washington will be made within a few' days. Sir Auckland Geddes has intimated to the British Government that he has withdrawn all opposition to separate Canadian representation. Sir Charles Fitzpatrick is the former Lord Chief Justice. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. REPORT PR’EMATURE. J (Rec. November 2, 9.50 p.m.) Ottawa, 2. Despite apparently reliable information from trustworthy sources that the Canadian Minister at Washington would be appointed in a few days, the announcement appears to be premature. The Premier, in a statement late tonight, said he had heard nothing of such an appointment. The feeling now is that pending tho working put of a new policy by the British Cabinet, the appointment may be delayed.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
