53. Mr. DOYLEasked the Prime Minister if before the appointment of a new Ambassador at Washington is determined His Majesty's Government will consider whether, in view of Canada's geographical and economic position as regards the United States, her interests at Washington and her loyalty to and sacrifices for the British Empire, the time is now opportune to appoint a Canadian statesman to that position, in order to represent Imperial interests as a whole on the North American Continent?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend on Monday last.
Mr. DOYLEIs it not likely that Canada will have made her appointment before the British Ambassador is selected?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThere is really no connection between the two.
