Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister):
A question of such importance as the one which the hon. member has asked is one that I should not like to answer offhand. I should like to see the statement and read it carefully. I gather, however, that the purport of the question is this: Are there any commitments on the part of the present government with the government of the United States in respect of the defence of the Pacific coast. If that is the
question I answer that there are no commitments that I am aware of, and I think I should be aware of any if there were.
