‘DEMILITARISING HALIFAX’
MR. MACDONALD'S MISSION BASE IN CANADIAN CONTROL OFFICIAL INTEREST ROUSED By Telegraph—Press ' sn. —Copyright. Australian Press Association. Received Oct. 11, 7 p.m. United Service. Ottawa, Oct. 8. Canadian officials received with interest the intimation by Washington dispatches of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald’s visit to Canada to discuss with the Government the demilitarising of the naval base at Halifax.
It is emphasised here that the Imperial Government is without any authority in the matter, as Canadian naval and military activities and all naval property, once under Imperial jurisdiction, have now passed into Canada’s hands, and Halifax has been under Canada’s complete control since 1900.
Officials declined to comment whether demilitarisation will constitute a feature of the projected London conference.
