§ Mr. HUNTasked whether, in view of the fact that President Taft stated that the effect of reciprocity between the United States and Canada would be to make Canada only an adjunct of the United States and would transfer Canada's Important business to New York and Chicago, the Prime Minister can now say whether he will instruct Mr. Bryce, our Ambassador at Washington, that he is not in future to assist in bringing about reciprocity between Canada and the United States?
§ Mr. ACLANDI would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by the Prime Minister on Monday.
§ Mr. HUNTIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the Prime Minister did not answer this question at all in his reply, and, in view of that, is our Ambassador at Washington to be allowed to make Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of the British Empire mere adjuncts of the United States?
§ Mr. ACLANDThat question does not arise. The British Ambassador at Washington has nothing to do with Australia.
