A JOURNALISTIC STRIFE -BREEDER.
The Montreal Witness, which has
consistently carried the flag of British
ideals in the Province of Quebec, warns
the people of Ontario against those
who would foment strife between
Ontario and Quebec, and incidentally
pays its respects to the editor of The
Toronto News in this language;
"An editor, who was once the adu-
lator of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and who
now cannot find words for his spite
against him, is doing what he can to
create an irreconcilable Sinn Fein spirit
in the French Province by exciting the
already bitter prejudices of the English
of Canada against their French fellow -
countrymen. When it comes to stabbing
the party of which be once aspired to
be the prophet, or defaming the leader
he once extolled, be does not scruple at
slander. When Sir John Willison says
of the Liberal party that 'it contains
all those who look towards separation,
and most of those Mae will neither wear
a uniform nor contribute a dollar to
protect and preserve free British in-
stitutions,' he knows he is slandering by
implication thousands of parents whose
boys lie under little crosses or in un-
known craters in France. He is re-
vamping by insinuation what he once
knew to be a reasonable lie, namely,
that the Liberals of Cauada-one half
of the people -are disloyal. Of course,
we know that here, as elsewhere, he is
slashing at the French. But for a sup-
porter of the Government that owes its
slim footing in the Province of Quebec
to men whose election was won under
the battle cry of `no navy,' and by
appeals to the people against Sir Wil-
frid Laurier as being England's agent
to tear their sons from them to serve
on foreign battlefields, to make this
statement is a crime against both truth
and decency. Sir John Willison knows
how Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.
Lemieux have gone about the country
speaking as wholeheartedly as Sir
Robert Borden for the defence of the
Empire, and far more wholeheartedly
than it would be possible for Sir John
Willison to do anything but adulate or
revile. Yet he takes the occasion of a
political truce to say that 'to restore
Sir Wilfrid Laurier to power would be
to throw away all the fruits of our
sacrifices.' ,;The fruits of our sacrifices
will be the restoration of Belgium, of
Poland, and of Serbia, and the firm
establishment of peace throughout the
world. Is it Sir Wilfrid or Sir John
whb would throw those great things
away?"
