The Governor-General of Canada to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
[Telegram.]
(Received 1st November, 1922.)
[Answered by No. 3.]
31st October. Following from my Prime Minister for you :—
Begins: I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Your Grace’s despatch of 27th October* informing our Govern
ment of invitations to the Lausanne Conference which have
been sent to the Governments of other countries by the Govern
ments of Great Britain, France, and Italy setting forth the
procedure in reference thereto.
Our Government has no exception to take to the course
pursued by His Majesty’s Government with respect to the con
clusion of a treaty to end the war in the Near East. As however
it is proposed to keep our Government informed from time to
time of the general lines of policy on which British plenipoten
tiaries propose to proceed and of the course of the negotiations
and to invite us to sign a new treaty and any separate instrument
regulating the status of the Straits we deem it advisable to avail
ourselves of the earliest opportunity to inform His Majesty’s
Government that in our opinion extent to which Canada may
be held to be bound by the proceedings of the Conference or by
the provisions of any treaty or other instrument arising out of the
same is necessarily a matter for the Parliament of Canada to
decide and that the rights and powers of our Parliament in these
particulars must not be held to be affected by implication or
otherwise in virtue of information with which our Government
may be supplied. Ends.
—Byng.
