His chiselled, gran- -itL .jaw sets up an lintereaiting face. Close to a double for the late Lord Xitchener. H1e talks in slow, meas- ured toues, rwithout gestieulation; at tirnes arms foldeil.

Here is a littie back-ýhench comment: List- ened to with respeint, Mrs. Coma T. Casselman thought our f oeign pol- icy should lie three-fold: Firstly, one to which the majorit~y subscrlbe; se- condly. being free and autonomous, ït 1should lie in close alliance wth Commnonwealth and ïdhe U.S.A. Third iy, in it we should ~be wrapped up with the secumity and peace of the world community. E. G. Hunseil, in demonding f rom ibhe iPjM. a full pro- nouncement on fioreiga poIicy, took the stand that the British Empire needs Canada; Canada needs the em- pire, but aibove aIl the world definite- iy need tihe Britishi Empire. Car- euce Gillis, thouglit the time inocppor- tune to ta]ik fomeign policy; that ishould come when we win tihe war, the wýold péture is clearer. West cousit members like Mir. A. W.

There are, roughly, 9,000 a third stili subjects of Japan; another third naturalized; remaincler bomn in ýCanada.
