destroyed.
Ware and Farrin were attended
by DIR. ID. f. Paul, and were later
removed to Wares home in Dayen-

ada could send her own represent
atiyes to the United States any
time The impression prevailing
here is that when the Canadian gov
ernment investigated the matter
and found that it would cost $780,
900 a year to maintain q diplomatic
representative it was felt that the
same objects might he achieved by
sending a commissioner from time
to time who would work in COOP
Grafton with the British embassy.
The fact is a commercial repre-
sentative operating in New York
and in other business centers IL
really what somesof the British do
minions want instead of a minister
To sit in Washington with all the
expense of diplomatic life and few
of the contacts that are needed To
improve commercial relations.
Have Varied Interests.
New Zealand, for instance. is in
terested just now in the question of
meat-packing mcnopolies. New
Foundland is interested just now in
fisheries disputes that have arisen
with the United States. Canada is
concerned over tariff duties. Aus
tralia has a multitude of financial
and commercial problems in which
the United States is involved.
The British view Is that the clos
er the ~dominions get to the United
States, the better it will be for the
British Empire as a whole. There
is some doubt whether Canada or
dominion will want to go TO the ex-
pense and trouble OF a separate
diplomatic and consular system.
There is some doubt, too, whether
the United States government will
want TO create q minister to go TO
ireland with the salary and other
expenses of a legation when the
same work can be done by consul
general. II the courtesy were ex-
