CANADA'S SHARE FROM CANTEENS Army Council Has Adopted Report of Committee on Profits. London, Nov. 3. -- After five months' delay ,the army council has at last adopted the report of the par- liamentary committee on the exped:- tionary force canteen profits aad Canada will now be in a position to receive her share of the total. Sir George Perley, who has been preass- ing for action in the matter, was not- ified today of the army couneil's de- cision, and the Canadian government: will be asked whether it is agreeable to the course recommended in 'ae ocmmittee's report. This report dis- closed a situation not altogether sat- isfsctory to Canada. Loans had been made from the profits realized by the expeditionary force canteens to the army and navy canteen board to fn- ance it on a peace footing and its op- erations had rosulted in considerable losses. The committee recommenden that the losses should be deductad from the original profits as they wera necessary in the completion of the organization, This, of course, win mean a reduction in the amount: Which Canada receives. It is doubt- ful, however, whether the dominion can do otherwise than accept the re- port as making the best of a bad busi- ness. The share of Canada should be over two million dollars.

It is rumored that Sir Henry may succeed the late Senator Nicholas in the senate or that he will be appoint- ed to the high commigsionership In London.

Soest MUST ATTUNE THEIR POLICY . To the Wishes And Needs of the Overseas Do- .. minions. London, Nov. 3.--Right Hon. Winston Churchill, secretary of state for the colpnies, speaking at the annual meeting of the Empire Par- liamentary Association, said this country could not possibly continue except in co-operation and associa- tion with those great communities which have sprung up under the Bri- tish crown. "Although for many {years the title deeds of empire will be deposited here," he said, 'the British people are bound, step by step, to attune their policy to the wishes and needs of the overseas dominions. I cannot doubt that the | year before us will witness favor- able developments in the unity of jour far-flung race. If we move on {that road, there are no limits to the | peaceful prosperity and security {which the empire may enjoy. If we {were trying to stand by ourselves, | we could never meet the great sister nation which speaks our language on those terms of perfect equality which alone can be the foundation for a |still higher and more important | destiny. | Ross Clynes, Laborite, alluding to the fact that the United Kingdom {branch of the Empire Parliamentary {Association was supported more | heartily in actual membership by | members of the House of Commons than members of the House uf Lords, remarked that the House of Lords was Britain's most ancient | governing body, but he would give jthem to-day the spectacle of a {Labor spokesman appealing to the {House of Lords to support parlia- {mentary institutions.
