There will be no Canadian minister
plenipotentiary at Washington in the
near future. This much was decided
at the recent visit of Sir Auckland
Geddes to Canada. Geddes will continue
representing Canada and other
British lands.
The reason back of the withdrawal
of Canadian plans was the British
belief that if Canada was permitted
a special representative Australia and
South Africa might ask, for similar
representation, not only, at Washington
but in other capitals. Also, it
was thought that, granting Canada
one minister. the Dominion might
want representatives elsewhere.
British ambassadors will handle
British affairs, and it will not be divided
among several colonial ministers.
No one pretends that this will
please the Canadian nationalists, and
on the other hand, nobody believes it
will put an end to independence agitation
in Canada.

Event Details
Decision made during Sir Auckland Geddes' recent visit to Canada against appointing a Canadian minister plenipotentiary in Washington in the near future. Reason: British concern that it would lead to demands from Australia and South Africa for similar representation in Washington and other capitals, and potential further demands from Canada elsewhere. British ambassadors will manage British affairs without division among colonial ministers. This will not satisfy Canadian nationalists but won't halt independence agitation.
