(4) As soon as the treaty ratifica- tions are déposited in Washington the Anglo-Japanese pact of July 13, 1911, is terminated. Four 'steps toward international respect for the sovereignty, indepen- dence and administrative integrity of China were taken by action of the conference in its plenary session to- day.

Other results perhaps of equal importance, lmay follow rapidly. fatigue and it still became necessary for me to call for troops to a danger point to repel the enemy. the Can- adians were always first to volunteer for the service, and in some Way they lalways managed to be on the spot ' when they were needed. This was not merely owing to the fact that they had such commanders as General Cur- l rie, but to their own indomitable spirit and courage.” This was the remarkable tribute to the Canadian corps paid by Marshal Foch in an address given at His Mia- ;jesty’s Theatre here this afternoon, when he was a guest of honor of the Montreal Canadian Club. That it was in no small degree due to the‘ Canadians that the Germans had not hocked their way through to Paris in 1915, was another assertion of the Marshall, and in 1918 the final appeal was met with a cry of “En lAvant,” from their commander, Gen- ! eral Currie.

Po- sitive proof of the non-exercise in practice of the right of veto of Can- adian legislation, vested in the Crown, was furnished to them during the ne- gotiations by Mr. Winston Churchill and proved one of the determining fac» tors in their decision to sign the agreeâ€" ment.
