Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that thousands of Canadians who accepted discharge in this country because they thought the prospects were bright are now stranded here; and whether arrangements can be made with the Dominion authorities to arrange for a free passage for them home now that they desire to go?
§ Lieut.-Colonel AMERYI understand that the policy of the Canadian Government was to grant discharges only in Canada, and that in cases in which discharge was allowed in this country this was done on the express condition that the men in question waived all claims against the Canadian Government. But I have no doubt that special cases of hardship will receive the most careful consideration of the High Commissioner, and should my hon. Friend know of any such1282W cases, I am sure that the High Commissioner would be glad if he would communicate with him.
