ior England:-
~"We
go
home
convinced
of the heart whole good-
will of the people of Canada
and of their
fixed determination
to remain
within the
empire
oo equal
terms.
We
also
see
the
signs
of growing
sHlidarity of
Canadian
interests
in
the
face
of the
Bolshevism
which is being carried
out in
every
coun-
iry by
a
widespread
and
insidious
pro-
gramme.
One
thing
we hope
very much
to see
accomplished,
the Canadian
news-
papers
are
admirably
clearly
and
inde-
pendently
written but
we want
to
see
a
news
service
which gives
a fairer
repre-
sentation
of British policy.
I allude
par-
|
ticularly to the
recent
episodes
in regard
to the Irish tragedy.
We
believe
thata

better
understanding
of our point of view
will prevail in Canada
and
we are
quite

sure
that in
the Overseas
Dominion
{a-
‘

be
better

the
