CANADA IN CONTROVERSY REGARDING ENVOY TO U. S. Charge That Sir Auckland Geddes Opposes Appointment Is Denied by Government. OTTAWA. that February 21.—Charges the Canadian government had decided not to appoint a Canadian ambassador at Washington because Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambas- | sador. had objected to such an : {pointment. were made by the oppo tion and denied by the government in the house of commons. Rodolphe Lemieux. former post master general and one of the lead ers on the opposition side. made th | charge. declaring that the plan fo {securing direct Canadian representa- {tion in the capital of the United | Stutes had been dropped as the result {of protests made by the British am- bassador and the British foreign office. Charles J. Doherty. minister of jus- tice, replying on behalf of the govern- ment. said that the Canadian ambas- {sador at Washington would be named {as soon as the government could de- cide who was the proper man for the office. Mr. Lemicux refused to be con- vinced. He asserted that the British foreign office would never consent to having a Canadian diplomatic repre- jsentative at Washington. The position {of such a representative would result, fhe said, in endless quarrels between {Canada’ and Great Britain. He sug- {gested the appointment of a Canadian high commissioner as more suited to ithe situation 112,000,000 GOLD PESOS INVOLVED IN DISPUTE exterior werk. } Genuine Edison Lamps In All Their Varieties Shapes and Sizes Including Miniature Lamps for Decoration.
