M. 1513 TWO BRITISH OPINIONS. H. W. Mesingbam; editor of The Nation. writing in The London Daily News and Leader on the subject of Canada's participation in naval de- fence, and the mapper of that partic- ipation. as advocated by the Borden Government, says : "We are in no danger from Ger- many. we never have been. we never shell be. We can always hold our own. If the cplonirw come into a free demonstration of naval sympathy, and even of material support. that is very line and very encouraging, and it will be duly noted and weighed in the Cbaneelleriee. But do not let its have au element of falsity, of exag- geration, in this important episode in our Imperial life. For, after all, trip oiler itself is not without its great peril to Canada. to ourselves. to the Imperial. connection. Let us think of it as we will—it is a form of 'tribute.' Well, that wits not the original idee'in ('anada.. It is that Imperialist form which commends itself to our Imperialist and Con- servative ministers. The Liberal idea was the exact opposite --a national development of sea power in close harmony with our own, but with s local base and control. Surely this was more consonant with our own revolution in sea strategy. We have decided to concentrate in the North Sea. thinking that there we are nearest to the point of danger, or rivalry. or what you will. Then it is an obvious developmenftif that policy to leave the distant Ilbtatione and strongholds of the Empire to the younger communities. Such a plan is quite as significant as that proposed by Mr. Borden, and morally it is a still greater import. But now the Mother Country has almost asked for a colonial 'benevolence.', The response is singularly prompt and ungrudging. But is the notion wise? Does it not contain grave posibilities of friction io the future F. W. Hint, editor of The London Economist, one of the greatest tinan- ciai journals in the world, in dealing with whet be calls "Naval Imperial- ism," says with reference to Mr. Bor- den's proposals : "The Canadian offer of three super - Dreadnoughts goes to show that Mr. Borden's Government is not very anxious to bring about a protection- ist and preferential tariff in England. Such • tariff would end in the taxa- tion of many Canadian imports which now come in free. On the otbee hand, the stipulations accompanying the offer are not liked by the Liberal press here. In the first place k loan of seven millions mill be • severe strain on the London capital market, which, as your municipal borrowers are now learning. is already overburdened. Money in fact. is getting dearer and dearer. Secondly, Mr. Borden's stipu- lation that the gift is not to relieve our naval program makes it positively onerous, seeing that the cost of main- tenance is to fall on the home tax- payer. le'rom our statelpoint the Laurier proposals were infinitely pref- erable to those of Mr. Borden. The gift of a motor car to s person who is already spending more than he can afford is generous, but emharresing, if no provision is trade by the donor for the cost of maintaining it." EDITORIAL NOTES. The weetber roan will please not forget that we 'shall need some ice for next summer's use. Mr. M iddlemist's report on the W est Shore Railway calls for serious consid- eration and determined aatlon. The leisurely way in which the Gov. agement is handling the navy bill does not suggest a very pressing "ewer- lune7.- Why all this silence from the mem- ber toe West Huron on the navy ques- tion ? Ras he hie ear to the ground ? Or le be rep is the air ? Or perebenoe isbeall etsea over it? David Lloyd Gori wee 'fey years cid the ether day. lo the aat_ral ase vee 1 thisys there te a good many trouble= leers yet in more for the horde of by melee bk. it is to be hoped the remains eg lee Mises ef this Osagglate inetltme mono Atter two years of agitation fo it, • building permit bylaw wasUy passed at W ioasor, and the first per- mita ermita halve been issued. By the way, whet has become of the proposal to adopt building regulations for Gode- rich ? Why doesn't Mr. Asquith engage the services of Sir Jarues Whitney to deal with the militant suffragettes? A bit of the Ontario Premier's tongue would do them more good than the mild remonstrances of the British Ministers. Five of the leading business men of Meaford offered themselves as candi- date. for the council and all were elected. A similar remit would no doubt follow if more of the leading business men of Ooderich would offer to sacrifice themselves on the altar of civic duty. An argument that was used effec- tively by the advocates of the Hydro- electric bylaw in Ooderich was that the power would be needed for the electric railway. That argument would not have much weight now. in view of Engineer Middlewist's report. In the meantime. however, Ooderich bas tied itself up to Hydro for thirty year.. The Mitchell Recorder, referring to the resolution passed by the executive of the West Huron Liberal Associa- tion at its recent meeting in Goderich, rays it "voices what appears to be the sentiment of Liberals ell over the country. Practi-ally all the inde- pendent preen and some of the Conser- vative press have joined the Liberals in asserting that there is no evidence of any emergency and therefore that an emergency contribution is not re- quired. On the other band some Con- servative members seem to 4pvor a contribution as the permanent policy of the party and this they would carry through without ronsulting the electors." Civil service reform was one of the planks of the Borden platform. How it is being carried into effect is re- ceiving a fresh illustration almost every day in the removal of some of- ficial whose sole offence is that he was appointed by the late Liberal Govern- ment and that he stands in the way of some hanger-on of the present Gov- ernment who wants a "job." The re- moval of Dr. Campbell from the posi- tion of post office inspector -at London is just one more instance of the brutal application of the spoils system by the present Government. There is no justification for the decapitation of an om er who is doing his duty to the public ; and there is no attempt on the part of the Government apologists to show that Dr. Campbell was failing in any respect in the discharge of his duties. His dismissal is only an ex- ample of the arbitrary misuse of power which has become characteris- tic of the Ottawa Government since it fell into the bands of such men as Rogers and Pelletier. The London Free Press makes some fantastic state- ments in an effort to break the force of the criticism of the Government's action in this case ; but it would be difficult to imagine any piece of treachery on the part of its party friends that The Free Pres would not willingly condone.

Tars Ahoet Is Fair Play. Woodstock Sentinel Review. Some of our esteemed contempor- aries that enjoyed the situation im- mensely when the (7ooeervative Op- position at Ottawa wan employing the resources of obstrlction to force a Liberal Government to go to the country, not so very long ago, now profess to be very deeply impressed by the evil and the menace of ob- struction, wbeo the shoe is on the other foot and there is som. talk of a Liberal Opposition forcing a, Oos- servative Government to go to the country. It is to be hoped that these esteemed contemporaries still retain an sc'ive sense of humor and that they are deriving some fun from their own conduct. An Old Country Operon. Lemon flatly News and Leder. One needs little gift of prophecy to see the p 'esibilities of conflict a few years hence, when Cieuada has formu- lated new policies, when the time for the renewal of.the ships conies or when some serious difference has arisen on the policy which governs the lee of those ships. Suppose the ships are n it replaced. NVe shall our selves then have to bear the full bur- den of the new standard which has been set up. Suppose the Canadian minister, acting on the instructions of bis Government, is in sharp dis- agreement with oar policy. Such a situation would strain the relating, of the two countries to. breaking point. VVe are, in a word, starting out on a new impetiwlireiatienship, not with the sanction of the countries concerned or after grave negotiation° on the broad questions of our mutual needs, but casually, incidentally, at the inspiration of r factitious panic. We rejoice in the willingoe+r of Can- ada to share our burden. But we. want her to share it in a way that will relieve us rather than increase our liabilities, in a way, finally. that will not complicate the consideration and , settlement of the much larger and graver question of the future relations, of Great Britain and the oversea do- minions.
