MR. RIDDIFORD'S EXPLANATION
CANADA USES TREATY AS LEVER.
Ottawa, Yesterday.
In connection with the statement made by Mr. Richard Bennett, the Canadian Preprier, in Parliament, that the negotiations with the United States for a treaty providing for the deepening of St. Lawrence River had not been concluded, the newspapers declare that Canada is holding up the progress of the treaty negotiations pending the result of the Canadian protests against the proposed United States Imposition of practically prohibitive tariffs against Canadian exports of copper, lumber, and canned goods. It is assert- ed that the Canadian Government is using this lever to secure a favourable trade consideration from the United States in view of Washington's desire to conclude the treaty prior to the presiden tial election. --Reuter.
The League Council had recently been considering remedial measures proposed by the Liberia Committee stated Sir John Simson. He would continue to do everything in| his power
