pcuucn 1. $606 aruuuy. ' _ Mr. Murphy is surely aware of the fact that India and Canada occupied exactly the same position at Ver- sailles. Representatives of India as well as of Canada sat around the table discussing world, affairs with all the great heads of Europe. _ Repre- - aentatives of India as well as of Can- ada were permitted to indulge in the empty form `of signing the treaty. Mr. Murphy would hardly so affront `the intelligence of Barrie Kiwanians as to assert that India now holds the status of a nation." And yet, on the basis of what occurred at Ver- sailles, where nations were, made and unmade," India` could present as good a claim to nationalstatus as Canada herself. ` ` n nAnu-..- __ _ _;__A; V A A - -- tion ed that tl` co-oporuti grand spi mainingz t once year. v1..
