Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proclamations, Orders in Council and Documents Relating to the European War
Council, approved by His Royal Highness the Governor General on the 14th November, 1914.
The Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a report from the Secretary of State, dated 12th November, 1914, representing that since the outbreak of the European War a large number of Proclamations, Orders in Council and Despatches has been published in the Canada Gazette, many of which have the force of Statutes and are required to be referred to constantly by those interested in dealing with such subjects as contraband, trading with the enemy, and allied subjects, and that many applications have been made to the Department of the Secretary of State for copies of all these documents.
The Minister submits that it is advisable that a compilation, t date, should be prepared and published of all Proclamations, Orders in Council and Despatches published in the Canada Gazette and such documents as appear in the London Gazette as may be of interest to Canadians, together with other public documents referred to in the Gazettes aforesaid and that extra copies of all such documents as may be hereafter published in the Gazette be printed separately and issued concurrently with the issue of the Gazettes in which they may appear.
The Minister, therefore, recommends that he be authorized to undertake the said compilation and to publish the same and that the cost thereof be paid by the Department of the Secretary of State out of a credit from the War Appropriation, as may subsequently be found to be necessary.
The Committee concur in the foregoing and submit the same for approval.
