THE NAVY QUESTION.
The Hamilton Spectator. in an
article which we republish in another
column. indulges in seine speculation
as to what may happen if Canada in-
gtsts upon retaining the control of her
own navy. This game of supposing is
one at which anyone ran play: en let
us take a hand at it. Let us suppose
that Canada gave a contribution in
money to the British navy; or supplied
tbe money fora- so-called Canadian
navy tolls under the control of the
Bri'ish Admiralty. and suppose this
money or these ships weir used for
purposes in which Canada had no in-
terest. or which were regarded in this
country with absnitite oisapptv.val
• bow long would f'anafle continue to
send her money or spend ner money
for the suhp et of the British. fleets?
Not only would the uminey which haul
been expended in this way he regarded
as thrown assay, in the view of Cana-
dian opinion. but a feeling of distrust
would be engendeted which might
have utost aerinesresells upon the
I;,erial eonnect inn.
But. The•Spectatnr may say. why
are we to imagine that the British
authorities would employ Canadian
money nr Canadian ships in a cause
that Canada rbuld not endot se ? Our
reply is. why should The Spectator
or anyone else imagine that the Cana
dian auth3rities. 'ontrolling the Cana-
dian fleet. would 'ever refuse to place
thattleettwhenl required at the dispos-
al of the imperial author•itles 'r
The trouble with Th. .p•'rtater '-
that itatrnot get rid of a notion that
while there is a Liberal Government
at Ottawa Canada is in .{anger. some-
how nt other, of being committed to
some "disloyal" •+'nurse. This i. ,t
notion for which there is no reason.
but pre iidires are not built upon
reason. have no relation to reason
thrive best. in fact. when they have
no contact with reams. it is of no
time 10 remind The Spectator and its
kind of the vast growth of Imperial
sena i, ant Jt- 'anada 1
Government. and of the palpable man-
ifestation of this Sentiment in the
tariff preference to Britain and in the
assistance give;' to the British cause
in the Barr war—actions without pet
relent in the history of Canada. The
et'trttionof a Canadian ttltvy is, really
another step in: the same direction.
The Government's routse to
by Imperial coneideratinne, not by a
narrow ('anadianism. Canada does
not need a navy for :herself : .she is

the burien of empire. avid there is no
question that when the Cause of the
Empire requires the assistance .rf ('an•

other way, such Resistance will be
given voluntarily. eagerly.
it is not neeessary for Canada to
give' bonds for her "loyalty." Th..
Loudon Times. which may be admit-
ted by The Spectator as an authority.
says ttat Sir Wilfrid Laurier's speech
on the navy question "contains the
true Idea .•f imperial unity." Cana-
dians are not children, incapable of
being trusted with the conduct of
their own affairs. The strength
which they contribute to the Empire
is all the greater that it is the strength
of conscious manhood extended will-
ingly in a common cause.
NA.matter;what course the present
or any other ('at►edien eiov.-rnment
may adopt in thio matter of a navy, it
