CANADIAN TROOPS
SERVICE IN BRITAIN NEW ENVOY'S EULOGY Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Mar. 7. The new British High Commissioner to Canada, Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, recently spent a day with the Canadian corps in England. Later he expressed high appreciation of their fine organisation. He added: “The Canadians look thoroughly at home here and are in a position to defend this island if an onslaught is attempted as we must expect. I was impressed too by the excellence and different kinds of materials that Canada is sending over.” Mr. MacDonald said he was looking forward in the highest degree to his sojourn in Canada where lie could study at close range the commonwealth air training plan. “This plan is becoming one of the most important projects and we shall rely on it more and more as the war goes on," he concluded.
