COLONIAL PREMIERS AT HOME
BANQUET IN PARIS
[Per I'it-s.s- Axiori'it —Copijriij^.) London, July 20. At a banquet tendered by the Paris Chamber of Commerce to the visiting colonial Premiers, Sir It. Monson, the British Ambassador, was to have presided, but was prevented owing to himself and family being seriously indisposed after partaking of shellfish. It is suspected they are suffering from poisoning, but they are recovering. In the absence of Mr Monson, M. Harding, President 01 the Chamber, proposed the toast of the visiting Premiers. The Bight Hon. Sir W. Laurier, speaking in French, said the day had come when Canada should aspire to a higher position, and the existing ties with Britain would then be severed or drawn closer. The Right Hon. (f. Reid said no policy worthy of serious consideration was being unfolded to secure closer political and commercial relations between the Mother Country and the colonies.
