Re-
porst
that
Canada
is
planning
a
large

are
"quite
misleading,"
Prime
Minister
W.

Mackenzie
King
told
newspapermen
as
he
returned
from
Geneva
where
he
attended
a
meeting
of
the
League
of

followed
by
a
sojourn
in,
the
United
King
dom
He
said
that
defence
matter
In
general
had
been
discussed
in
London
but
the
defence
of
Canada
had
not
been
discussed
as
such.
Canada
was
not
committed
a
anything..
-.
One
of
the
first
matters
to
bt
decided
by

King

ing

be
the

of
a

Promises
Support

to

Occasion
The
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
last
evening
decided
to
give
Its
full
support
to
any
plan
to
mark
in
a
public
way
such
as
by
a
civic
dinner
the
forthcoming
visit
of
Commissioner
John
McMillan
of
the
Salvation
Army
to
Prince
Rupert
It
was
suggested
by
City
Commissioner
Alder
that
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
should
sponsor
a
din
ner
for
the
visitors
but
this
was
objected
to
because
the
visit
had
nothing
to
do
with
either
trade
or
commerce
but
the
members
showed
themselves
very
sympathetic
to
the
idea
of
honoring
the
visitor
in
some
public
way.
He
is
expected
to
be
here
November
27
and
28,
proceeding
to
