Mr. CHURCH:

Mr. Speaker, it is true

that some of the papers have been brought down, but none of the correspondence with the British government has been produced. This is the most important part, because Canada is not a party to the treaty. I would like to have tabled the correspondence of the government of Great Britain on this question.

Right. Hon. Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I think the 'hon. Minister of National Defence (Mr. Macdonald) suggested' to my hon. friend that he should indicate more in particular the information he wanted, inasmuch as the motion as it stands would involve a great deal of research and Icopying. Perhaps my hon. friend would let the matter stand until he has a chance of conferring with the minister.
