The Imperial authorities are. 01 course. well informed as to the contention: of Canada. in this matter. the Do- minion Government having gone tune ago placed in their possession a his- tory of the question which was pro- parod by Sir Louis Davies. The to- port in question is an elaborate doo- ument 01' some 300 pages. which and comprehensively presents the Canadian side of the case.

The appointment. it is said, will only be a temporary one. but whoever is chosen for the position may continue to hold it until a permanent leader is called to take command. Accord- ing to the rumor, Mr. N. Clarke Wallace will make a strong bid for the posiW‘r. and he may be able to carry with him a mfilcient number of the Ontario members to make good his claims. I: Sir Mackenzie Bowen occupied a seat in the House he might be regarded as a likely man ‘ior the leadership. but the fact 0! {his being in the Upper Chamber seems to preclude the idea that the choice will fall upon him. int; Sir Charles Tapper Minted- Winnipeg.
