democratic and pro-republican that
ever emanated from any department
of the government since its begin

ued, "are to relieve the corporate in

tent of fifty billions of dollars, of a

t Geneva. Plans proposed for the
formation of the technical organiza

ing with finance, health and transpor

sion of the league's assembly by New
ton Wesley Rowell former president
of the Canadian privy council.
These plans, the Canadian ex-minister
contended, tended to take such or
ganizations out of the hands of the
assembly, which should ontrol them,
and throw them under t le influence
of Europe through the mpossibility of
the non-European nations sending
their best men to three or four con
ferences annually.
"Fifty thousand Canadian soldiers
under the sod in Europe is the price
Canada has paid for the European
statesmanship which drenched the
continent in blood," Mr. Rowell ex
claimed.
The Canadian's energetic interven
tion in the debate took the assembly
by surprise.
