UNITED STATES & CANADA

BRITISH AMBASSADOR'S POSITION DISCUSSED.

BY CABLE—PKESB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, May 2. JNotice of question has been given in the House of Commons, to ask whether Mr Bryce, British Ambassador to the United States, was aware of Mr Taft's intention to make Canada an adjunct of the United States when he recommended the acceptance of reciprocity. The Evening. News, repeating current reports, suggests that Mr Brcye's departure to Australia is the prelude to his accepting a peerage and re-enter-ing British politics. It states that his position has become impossible since the failure of the treaty and that threequarters of Mr Bryce's time was occupied with Canadian affairs.
