Interesting
Suggestion

LONDON
It
has
been
suggested
by
a
British

correspondent
that
future
British

may
receive
their
training
in
Canada
just
as
a
great
part
of

did
during

The

says
in
a

article
in
the
Daily

that
no
decision
to
this
effect
has
been

reached
but
he
indicates
that
such
a
step
is
being
considered.
According
to
this
rcpoit.
Canada
is
said
to
favor
such
a
plan,
since
it
would
help

financially.
