PARTNERS OF EMPIRE
CANADA’S POSITION DEFINED. STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, August 16. At Markham (Ontario), in summarising the attitude of the Canadian Government on inter-imperial relations, the Prime Minister (Mr Mackenzie-King) in a speech, raid: “We have maintained that tho day is past when Canada should, in her relations with’ the other parts of the Empire, not excepting Britain herself, take tho position of a colony subordinate in position and inferior in status.” “While Canada does not claim that Her interest or her powers are in any degree comparable to those of the Motherland,” said Mr King, “we contend that to the extent of our interest in inter-imperial, as in all partnership arrangements, we are entitled to have our voice heard. In matters of foreign policy, no less than in domestic concerns, there should not be taxation without representation Reuter.
