CANADA ENVOY HERE
FAVORED BY HOWARD
British Ambassador Sees Urgent
Need for Legation in
Washington.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 23.-Sir
Esme Howard. British Ambassador
TO the United States. and Sir Robert
Borden. wartime prime minister of
Canada, believe that there is wisdom
in plans to esta blish a Canadian le-
cation at Washington.
"Once We have accepted definitely
and irrevocably that Canada is mis-
rress of her own deStinies," Sir Esme
told the Canadian Society last night
"and / think that fact now has un-
questionably been accepted--I see no
reason to complain if she should wish
TO appoint her own agent to deal
with Canadian affairs at Washington
where, indeed, there is large volume
of Canadian business to be trans
acted
Sir Esme said he could not agree
with "croakers" who saw establish
nent of Canadian legation as a
preliminary step in the breakup of
the British Empire.
80 long as we can keep up in the
different parts of the British Empire
real affection and friendliness for
each other. 1 believe there Is little
chance of the prophecies OF the
tcroakers' about an early dissolution Of
the partnership" he added.

mark today and the Health Depart
ment's records show that close to
800 cases have developed in the same
period of % days.
