Speaking of Circuses Indian Princes Affirm Faith in British Cr.•'Wn Maintenance of Connection Within Empire Declared to Be Essential and to those of British India, that body. Despite the conditions under which this country entered the League and the World Court there still remains in the minds of some European statesmen the erroneous idea that Great Britain is the spokes- man for the whole Empire. Several episodes during the last ses- sion brought this subject to the fore and in such a way es to make the position of the Dominions abundantly clear. One of these had reference to the World Court when exception was taken by several European delegates to a British Dominion being Separate— ly represented even if the question dealt with was of paramount import- ance to that Dominion. Such a contention is absolutely con- trary te.tlie whale basis of Dominion inclusion in the League and the World Comet and the British delegate,. Sir Cecil Hurst, replied very forcibly with the statement that even if an English judge was on the 'court the Dominions would have the right of representation should 11 be dealing with a question whic"t directly affected their interests. Neither Canada nor any of the self- governing Dominirns have ever recog- nized the right of the Motherland de- legates to vote or speak for them and the sooner this 1s clearly understood by all member states of the League the sooner will progress be made in matters affecting our interests. Canadians are heart and soul behind the general idea and ideals for the maintenance of world peace of the League but they will never be satis- fied to take any position of inferiority in its councils or relegate their vital interests to any one but their national representatives.

Many sections of our country and many groups of our citizens suffer from diseases the eradication of which are mere matters of admini- stration dministration and moderate expenditure.
