Canada's Minister to United States

Finally this view prevailed and an
agreement was made whereby the
Canadian minister should have pleni-
potentiary powers and also should be
the deputy of British ambassador iE
case Of his absence. No appointment
was made, however, the reason as
signed being that. suitable man for
the position could not be found.
Since the government changed in
1921 the matter has remained In statu
quo. The reason put forth by the lib
erals was also the difficulty Of secur.

The government, however, has indi-
Gated that the proposal Of the Cana
dian minister being deputy of the am.
bassador was not to their liking, II
being feared that complications might
readily result from such action.
Another consideration Is the atti.
tude Of the other do.linlons and how
they would regard Canada having a
representative there with plenipoten
tiary powers, although the adjacency
Of this dominion to the United
States places It In position ut.

ended June |, when offers estimated
ut two hundred million ounces had
been received under the Pittman act,
Since the offers all were on the basis
of estimates, Mr.. Scobey had no way
of ascertaining definitely whether the
amount required by the law would be
entirely filled. Consequently he has
continued to receive and file offerA

Ing Canadian governments for four
years, is unlikely to be made until

don In October. Such is the intima.
tlon In official circles both at Ottawa
and Washington.
The proposition originated when
Sir Robert Borden was prime minister
and was the subject Of prolonged ne.
gotiations with the British govern
uent. When London did not object
to Canada having representative at
Washington, the British idea in the
first instance was that such an officer
should have only the status Of a COM
missioner or glorifed commercial
agent.
Sir Robert Borden and his govern
merit maintained, on the other hand,
that In view Of Canada's part In the
war and the increased constitutional
status indicated by their dominion be-
Ing a separate signatory to the treaty
Of Versailles, Its representative at
Washington should be vested with a
standing In consonance with the new

NV statement holding that
wv there is no antagonism be-
tween science and religion
is issued here as representing the con-
clusions Of group of 40 distinguished
Americans on q subject which recent
ly has aroused bitter and widespread
controversy. M....
The names Of two cabinet officers
Secretaries Hoover and Davis, three
bishops and many others In positions
Of leadership In the political, business,
scientific and religious worlds are at
tached to the declaration, which was
prepared by r A. Milllken, director
Of the Norman Bridge Laboratory Of
Physics at Pasadena, Cal.
''The purpose" said an accompany
Ing explanation, 'is to assist In cor
recting two erroneous impressions
that seem to be current among Ger.
tain groups Of persons. The first is
that religion today stands for me-
dieval theology; the second that
science Is materialistlc and ire
ligious." The statement follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, deeply re-
gret that in recent controversies there
has been tendency to present science
and religion as irreconcilable and an
tagonistic domains Of thought, for In
fact they meet distinct human needs.
and in the rounding out Of human life
they supplement rather than displace
or oppose each other.
