Sir
Francis

British
tiiirh
Commissioner
to
uanaaa,
in
addressing
the
Prince
Rupert
Oyro
Club
at

Friday,

will
it

country,
the
United

Canada,
I
believe.
Is
anxious
to

In

ato

and

We
of
the
Old
Country,
anxious
to
draw
closer
the
tics
that
bind
us
with
the
rest
of
the
Empire,
feel
that
Canada,
with
Its
American
in
luences
and
characteristics
of
freedom
and
Independence,
Is
a
rxMst.
valuable
nart
of
the
Empire."
In
the
purchasing
of
goods,
Sir
Francis
urged
that
where
possible,
orders
be
directed
towards
British
products.
It
would
be
of
mutual
benefit,
It
would
not
only
provide
a
market
for
British
goods
but
It
vuld
enable
the
United
Kingdom
to
continue
to
glvtr'lrcir
entry
to
Canadian
goods.
With

Sir
Francis
pointed
out
that
the
Old
Country
was
essentially
an
expor
ter
of
roods.
"If
we
buy,
we
must
also
sell,
he
said.
Sir
Francis
discussed
trade
relations
between
the
United
King-Corn
and
Canada
with
which,
essential!',
he
had
a
good
deal
to
do.
The
trade
