Here is a fine Imperial declaration by Mr. Leon Mercier Gotiin, K.C., LL.D., son of the late Sir Lotiier (Jouin, one-time (Quebec Pre- mier, proving him to be a "chip 0f'the old block”. l-le was addressing a Canadian Club at i\lorris- bury, and was arguing that the French-Canadian rights have been preserved by British fair play. The Constitution, he declared, clearly recognizes the French-Canadian nationality and said it has survived through years of Confederation, modi- fied by climate and local surroundings. “In in- ternational law," he stated, “I am not a French- Canadian citizen. ‘I am a British citizen and well satisfied with it."
