Telegrapns.) OTTAWA, March 12,—Canada’s status in the League of Nations again loomed up in the House of Commons when Hon. W. L. Rowell, president of the Privy Council, brought in a reso- jution to approve the Peace Treaty with Bulgaria. After the statement that members complained that they had uot received printed copies of the treaty sent out from Mr. Rowell’s office, it had been decided that he should make a state- ment. The adoption of the treaty, he said, embodies the principles of democratic control in that it could only be ratified after the ‘onsent of Parliament. In considering the League of Nations Covenant the status of Canada had been questioned. ‘In submitting this to the House t is the hope that it will be approved unanimously,’’ said the ninister. ‘The Government asks the House to ratify the principle xf Canada’s status as a member of the League. If the House adopts the resolution, it means that the House plages itself yehind the Government in maintaining Canada’s status as already established. It also means the re-aflirmation of the labor clauses n the treaty, which were on similar lines to those contained in the treaty with Germany ard Austria, already approved by the House.” Saskatchewan Veterans Decide Against Entering Into the Political Field (Special to The News via G.T.P. Telegraphs.' PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., March 42.—A.amanimous decision not to enter into politics either as a party or in support of any particular party is indicated by the Great War Veterans conven- ion, when a resolution was submitted advocating entry of the issociation into politics in support of a broad platform, which vould help to create equality for all in the development and dis- ribution of the natural resources of the country. Delegate Jones of Kinross voiced the opinion that if the association entered politics as a body it would inevitably be wrecked and land on the rocks on which, at some time or other, all political parties were wrecked. Delegate Payne of Indian Head said the association could iot support the platform without entering politics. ‘To consider such a policy was playing with fire and the results were likely to be disastrous. On the motion to adopt being put, only the Moosejaw dele- gates supported it. Without discussion the convention then adopted a motion asking the Dominion Command to again bring before the Government the re-establishment plan submitted last year.
