FOREIGN POLITICS.

ATTITUDE OF CANADA

IMPRESSION NOT FAVOURABLE

LONDON, July, 30. There is little doubt that Canada’s recent activities in foreign affairs have created a not altogether favourable impression in London and elsewhere in the Empire, says a political correspondent.

The forthcoming visit of tho Canadian Prime Alinister Air W. L. Aliickenzio King, to the League of Nations Assembly at Geneva, is regarded as one of the most important events of the meet, ing. At the 1926 and 1927 assemblies, Canada’s delegates were frequently disposed to express definite differences of attitute to the other Empire partners in foreign policy. The artitude was culminated in the opening of Canadian legations in Paris and Tokio, and also in Canada’s decidedly independent action regarding the peace pact. But perhaps more outstanding is Canada’s attitude toward tlie Geneva protocol. Her observations are strikingly at variance with those in the British Note.
