LAST INTERVIEW WITH THE GENERAL.
o. During his last interview with US in America the
General stated that he wished us assist the strug-
Cling work In Canada by giving OPP certain poruon
OF the United States to be annexed to the Domin-
ion. We.'exprvssed cur willingness TO fnrtner as
sist comrades In Canada with money OaVins
already helped them financially. but that ths an
nexation of American territory to Canada was
quite impracticable and would damage the work
Our arguments carried no weight and the General
considered them unreasonable. When ne spoke OF
the National feeling. he closed the controversy py
drawing his finger down the map of~North America
In three sections declaring that ultimately ne IN

work in this country. where the unbroken union Oh

USELESS TO GO TO LONDON.
H. In relation to going to London for
confereIce with the General. We believed Ii was
useless. had had lengthy and unsatisfactory
interviews with him here
We consider the above Sufficient reasons for our
letter OF January 81.
Apart from the above reasons. had no more trans
pired than the unjust manfestos and unchristian
assertions made by the leaders Of the Army and
their representatives, this country particularly
their eotnparlsoh of movement with "the Moore
scandal" their statement that fell beneath "the
weight of fattery and temptation, the unrebuked
and excused assertion by one OF their trusted stan
officers that darlington Booth, am insane and
the most abominable reflections upon the private
character OF Mrs Booth, which have proceeded from
another staff officer had SUFFICIENT reason for re-
fusing to entertain any suggestion OF returning 10
the ranks Of the old movement.
BY remaining in the movement We did not think
that our influence would have affected the points
at issue as our Judgment was disregarded but now
that this separation has occurred, there will un-
doubtedly. for polcy's sake be great caution used
in all these matters.
There will undoubtedly be denials and counter.
statements made t. the above, bu, we can only add
that we believe that lives before the American
public will at least exonerate us from insincerity
Of motive and unworthiness Of purpose. We wish
the Army evil and would ret have thus written
had they taken our advice and remained silent
