ERNEST LAPOINTE, P.C., M.P., Minister •of Justice, (Minister in Control of the R.O.M. Police), • Ottawa. SIR,—I have the henour to submit the Annual Report cif the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the year ended March 31, 1941. Broadly speaking, the form of the report is the saine as that submitted for several years pa-st, but, in view of the need for economy, the appendix to the report has been :confined to the usual statistics and only a few .extracts from reports of -Officers on the Headquarters Staff. The detailed annual reports of the officers .commanding the various divisions are available at this headquarters if they should be required. These Officers have all had an extremely busy year, and their reports are of necessity longer than usual, and it would be unsatisfactory to the reader to print short extracts only frein these reports.
