Most Recent Speeches (Page 2 of 349)
June 20, 1919
Sir EDWARD KEMP:
I did not gather
from the information which I read in the press that the negroes at Liverpool to whom my hon. friend refers were Canadian citizens. If there are any negroes in the Canadian army that are Canadian citizens they would be scattered throughout the forces- one or two here, and two or three elsewhere -and they would be treated exactly the same as other Canadian citizens.

Sir EDWARD KEMP (Minister of the Overseas Military Forces):
There have been strikes at the docks in Liverpool for the last ten days or more, and these have very seriously interfered with the embarkation of Canadian troops. No Canadian troops have been embarked from Liverpool since about the 14th inst. Our programme for the month of June contemplated the repatriation of some 55,000 Canadian troops. We brought back in the month of May about 55,000, and we had hoped that by the end of July, or even a little before that, we could get nearly all the Canadian troops back to Canada. I am inclined to the view, however, that the strikes will seriously interfere with that programme. It is feared, and it is possible, that the strike may extend to Southampton, where the very large ships sail from. However, I have information this morning which gives reason to hope that the strike may be settled to-day.

Sir EDWARD KEMP:
There are a certain number of Canadian officers and men who have been in the vicinity of Archangel in Northern Russia. Twenty-two officers and 455 other ranks were due to arrive in England yesterday. There will be a few still to be repatriated, but we hope to bring them back at a very early date.
June 20, 1919
Sir EDWARD KEMP:
Do I understand my hon. friend to inquire whether or not these negroes are Canadian citizens?
June 11, 1919
Sir EDWARD KEMP (Minister of Overseas Military Forces):
I shall make inquiry by cable as to the accuracy of the report to which my hon. friend (Mr. Duff) refers, and as soon as I receive a reply, which will doubtless be within a very few days, I will inform him.
