NO CLOSURE
The time is not yet arrived for the
application of closure in the House of
Commons at Ottawa.
On three notable occasiong bas the
Opposition at Ottawa "blocked" pro-
ceedings.
In 11096 the attempt to coerce Mani-
toba was fnustrat.d by a deliberate
policy of obstruction. When the
sppeal'was made to the country the
"obstructionism" were vindicated.
In 1911 the Conservative Opposition
blocked the reciprocity measure. The
Government appealed to the country
and the blockers wen sustained.
New to W13 the Liberal Opposition
is pursuing the same method of war-
fare against the contribution policy of
the Borden -Pelletier tiovernmeo4
The Liberals challenge an appeal to
the electors of Canada When that
ehslienge is accepted and the people of
Oamsda fail to endorse the ••obstruc-
tiovists," then it may be time to talk
about the closure.
The Liberals believe they are Light-
ing the battle for more than half the
people of Canada. 31 they are mis-
taken,
intaken, & general election will demon-
strate it it the Government will not
trust the people in the matter, it
ought to drop the naval bill and pro-
ceed with the legitimate brmisae. of
ParliauwnL
Clearly there is no warrant in the
existing circumstances for the applica-
tion of the gag.
THE CHURCHILL LETTERS.
While Hon. Winston Churcbi':. the
First Lord of the Admiralty, is not 'o
be oensured for responding to Mr.
Borden's request foe information on
the subject of Canada's naval policy,
some of the statements 10 which he
commits himself are -!early open to
criticism from the Canadian stand-
point. It is evident that Yr- Church-
ill understood tbat he was desired to
submit arguments in favor of the Bor-
den
ondem policy,aod against Ute policy of a
Canadian navy. and he obligingly set
out to give Mr. Borden the kind of ad-
ios he wanted.
Mr. Churchill now points out the
difficulties in the way of the construe
tion of battleships IDreadnoughts) in
Canada Doubtless it would take
D ome time to build up a plant tapable
of tutning out these huge vessels ; but
Caaaduns are quite equal to the
effort. The question is not, can we do
it? but, should we do it ? It is not
sesential to the policy of a Canadian
navy that ships of the largest type
i.Nd be constructed in Canada.
Odor they can be built in Great Brit-
ain on the orders of the Canadian
Government, or Use Canadian navy
man do with smaller ships. Lord
Charles Beresford, by many regarded
r the greatest living authority on
naval matters. advises against Dt'ead-
nosghts for tbe Canadian navy.
As to the question of manning. Mr.
Cbur-hiles statements are a boomer-
ang in the hands of Mr. Borden. Mr.
Churchill states that lbs resources of
the Admiralty for manning ships are
'Vow strained to their utmost Naito'
Mr. Borden proposes to do sothin( le

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Aod the ladies wonder how the men
can talk politics even when the
millinery openings are going on.
Parliament has adlour'oed for the
Baster recess, and the naughty boys
of the House of Common. are enjoy-
ing a holiday.
The men who talked of -'sbooting
hole. through the British flag" were
ranged alongside of "Bob" Roger. and
6its crowd last week busily shooting
holes in the British principle of fres
speech.
Rea,:tionary policies demand re-
actioaary methods. It was quite
fitting that the Government at Ottawa
should attempt to put through tbe
mediaeval policy of tribute by the use
..f the gag.
The Nationaliata voted right along
with the Government last week on the
numerous pointa of order raised in the
discussion on the naval bill. But Hugh
LJlark, M. P.. editor of The Kincardine
Review, says that the Nationalists are
opposed to the Government
Hugh Clark. M. P., and the Nation-
alists voted together batt -a -dozen
times or more last week in the attempt
to gag the Liberals. if the Nationalists
arse allied with Laurier, as Clark says,
then the member for North Bruce
must have turned Grit suddenly.
The Nationalists took part in the
relays on the Goveromtnt side of the
House in the attempt to tire out the
Opposition and force the Borden naval
bill through the Commons. Yet Hugh
Clark. M. P.. says in his paper, The
Kincardine Review, that the Nation-
alism are allied with Laurier.
The results of the treatment by Dr.
Friedmann of tuberculosis patients
are awaited with universal Interest..
If be bas discovered the means of sue
oe.sfully combatting "the white
plague" his name will go down to pos-
terity as one of the greatest benefac-
tors of the human race.
The Present Speaker of the House of
Commons —Dr. Sproule—was one of
the most prominent of the "blockers"
in Parliament during the stormy ses-
sion of 1808. He cannot consistently
reproach the Opposition cf 1913 for
following the example be himself set in
1tlU1. But consistency doesn't count
for much, apparently, in politico.

pointed out that the motion involved
no criticism of the Hydro, but was
simply a reasonable request for a de-
tailed firsancial statement of the ex-
penditures. He felt sore that the

was no reason why the same principle

FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES,
Debating National Snags.
Wood.toek 841nUssl-Review.
And now we are threatened with
having some of our beet natioeai
songs dragged through the mud of
party politics and degraded to the
levels of party tunes. At Ottawa, It ,
is pointed out, while one side sings'
"Rule Britannia," the other sings "0
Canada," and the choice of the songs
is said to be significant of the division
of the parties. one aide contending for
the development and maintenaoee of
Canadian integrity, the other for Im-
peevl centralisation It is a pity'that
the few national songs of mer t we
posses could not be spared to tippet
to abs devotion and loyalty of all the
people.

The Broader Patriotism.
Montreal Herald.
• A broader conception of patriotism
is required. 1n many of the current
discussions on patriotism, it is re-
sumed that this virtue has nothing to
•do with ordinary conduct or ordio
legislation ; that it is concerned with
the army and navy, and nothing else.
It: is assumed that Lloyd George does
not tyre ntucb about patriotism, be-
cause his mind and heart are fixed up-
on insurance ageinot sickness and un-
employment, old &Re pensions, getting
people tuck to the land and other
means of social betterment
All this assumption is surely wrong.
The most warlike man must admit
that the strength cf a country does
not 000sist wholly in armies and
navies. It consists largely of natural
resource*, agricultural, industrial and
commercial development. It consists
mainly of the strength of the individ-
ual, physical, intolketual and moral.

President F. Buchanan, of W ingbams
has issuedi call for a convention of all
temperance workers in Huron county.
The convention will meet on Thurs-
day, March 20th. end its main business
will be to discuss the question of the
adoption of the Scott Act in the
oounty. The London Free Prams,
commenting on this move, says "It
would he disappointing' to the Rowell
party were the people of Huron to go

course would upset the plans of the
Liberal party to gain power by thrust -
Ing a moral issue ihto the arena of
