CANADIAN TO ASSIST BRYCE.
DOMINION EXPECTS TO BE REP
RESE NTED HERE.
No Omcial Invitation Yet Received q,
Ottawa, but One Is Looked Fora
Cordial Message From Joseph Cham-
berlain 70 the Canadians Published

OTTAWA, Dec. 28.-The Dominion Govern
ment has not been asked by the British
Government to name a representative to act
with the British Ambassador at Washington.
The cabled announcement OF Mr.. Bryces
appointment to Washington contained an
intimation that a Canadian was TO act
with him.
It is expected that Canada will before
long be represented at Washington, but
there has been no definite step in that di-
rection so far.
Through the Montreal Stars special
correspondent, the Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain cabled to-day this message
to the people OF Canada:
Il thoroughly appreciate the patriotism
Of the Canadian people and the sentiment
which so strongly moves them in the con-
sideration of all questions Of commercial
preference between the Dominion and the
mother country.
-Iam profoundly convinced that of all the
bonds that can unite nations the bond of
commerce is the strongest and the percep-
ton OF this fact will, | feel assured ulti-
mately lead to the closer union between
Great Britain and her colonies, which can
see to be the only foundation for a great
empire. Such union can only be brought
ing, and l rejoice that the movement has
made great progress during the last few
years.
-The issue has never been fairly raised
in the United Kingdom and the defeat
of the Unionist party at the last election
was due to causes altogether outside the
question Of mutual preference. Mean
while the efforts Of some Of our most in
iuential journals in the country and Of
others in the Dominion, prominent among
uvhsch 4 fhs 81 h.,
their national weight when the oppor-
tunity comes to appeal for a new decision
Of the people Of the British race through
out the world on this critical question.
The growing strength and prosperity
Of Canada will give to her decision an i'm
portance that II never had before and
do not believe that in the long run the
people Of this country will he behind the
other parts Of the empire in promoting
a policy which must tend TO place the British
Empire on a level with the other great
associations Of nations with which il will
have to compete"
