tuier that his reception will lie entirely

can be no doubt, and meanwhile no man
in either country should say or do any
tiling likely to imj*air friendship. The
premier of Canada is to be given an op­
portunity to contribute to mutual good
v*illand it would seem that he would
i
gladly avail himself of it.
