Mr. GORDON GRAYDON (Leader of the Opposition):

An Associated Press dispatch

from Washington, under date-line of March 1, states that Acting Secretary of States Sumner Welles said that all the united nations will be asked soon to send representatives to a preliminary conference on post-war economic problems. Will the Prime Minister be good enough to indicate to the house under what auspices the preliminary conference will be called, and whether or not any approach has been made to the Canadian government in connection therewith?

Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister):

I have been aware that the matter was one which has been under consideration at Washington, but thus far no formal communication has been made to the Canadian government concerning the matter. All I know of it thus far is what has appeared in the statement to which my hon. friend has referred and a somewhat similar statement made before the convocation at the University of Toronto on Friday last by Mr. Sumner Welles.

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I would assume so, but I cannot say definitely. I would not like to have it inferred that this has been settled. I assume that there will be exchanges of views between certain of the powers in the first instance to decide the particular auspices under which the conference will be called.
