the union of 1841 having been frustrated by recurrent instability delegates from canada were sent to the aaaritimes conference to propose a wider union of all british north america a conference was canvenad at quebec later that year to discuss mm proposal and to make recommendations to the colonial office under the bna act f ltl7 which resulted upper end lower canada nova scotia and new brunswick were united in the dominion of canada the responsibility of the executive to the electorate achieved under lord elgin was limited to colonial affairs gradually the government of canada extended lit control to crown lands trade relations tariffs and other activity independence in foreign poli cy however was not achieved until the first world war when canada assumed member ship in the imperial war cabinet tent dele gates to the peace conference at versailles and became in its own right a member of the league of nations under the statute of westmiristor of 1931 canadian sovereignty was given final the kmtt cme justice minister chevrier has acknowl edged in the house of commons that the ftcmpi security and intelligence branch made a teriout error in informing naval au thorities that gordon harry knott of nanai- mo bc was a bad security risk on the batis of an erroneous rcaap report that he wet a nephew of ernest knott onetime com munist political candidate in the federal nan- almo riding av knott was dismissed from the navy a veer and a half ago the young man has now been tendered the govern mentt official apology and has been offered reinstatement in the navy perhaps the most reeionable comment on the case was made by the youths mother were not mad at the rcaap or the navy mi knott told a newspaper interviewer the rcaap have their job to do but they could be more care ful airing of the knott case has at least re medied he particular iniustice and it may achieve more than that the justice minu ter suggested to the house that it may be possible lo devise tome procedure to safe guard the individual against official error or afbjtrary opinion but there is me very reel that acknowledgement of the bcaafs recognition no law of canada can now bo voided because it is repugnant to british law no law of britain is effective in canada excopt with the consent of the dominion all laws enacted by canada have extra terri- toriil effect in 1947 canadian cjtizenthip

flag our national anthem and our relations be tween one province and another perhaps 100 years will mark the begin- n maturity but we doubt that any specified period will automatically provide he answers we seek we have come a long way this young nation of ours but the cha t he ahead will overshadow any of the accom plishments of the past and it is important that we be in a position to handle them error will rouse such an intemperate hue and cry that it will obscure this truth- subver sive activity does exist and it must be polic ed already even thoughthe bungling in the knott case could hardly be laid to more than one or two sib men the whole membership of the branch have been labelled political ignoramuses others have assailed the rc aap in its entirety one newspaper even in vited the opinion of leslie aaorris leader of canadas communist party v this arbitrary interference by police is something thai has to be ended aar morris said unexpectedly we dont need a political police in canadi it is a fact that lome men in police work come to enjoy their positions of authority that same try to do their jobs the easy way that some show themselves incapable of particular duties the same is true of men n all spheres even in politics in the maner of policing security risks even with the best of intentions there can be errors of fict or misinterpretation of facts in the public in-
