CANADA AND EUROPE
INTEREST IN PEACE OBJECTIVES OTTAWA, Sept. 28. Mr Mackenzie King's announcement of his visit to Europe was greeted with applause from all sides of the House, indicating the general anxiety at the course that the Foreign Ministers’ Conference has taken. The Prime Minister said that, while questions of boundaries, colonial administration, and regional disarmament were important, many of them were of less consequence than questions of attitudes towards objectives. Canadian interest in the Foreign Ministers’ Conference did not lie in detailed discussion of particular issues, but in concern for the peaceful settlement of outstanding differences, and for consolidating the general organisation for the maintenance of international security. He added that private settlements between the Great Powers on issues of general interest to all were necessary in war-time, but if continued, would be a source of difficulty and even danger. This particular war-time pattern must not be perpetuated in framing the peace settlement.
