This, the most tremendous qu tion in Canada's history, is to be
answered within ten days.
Our answer involves Canad, 's honour, her freedom and her future.
.d -tin -me party questions are being advanced to obscure the gravest
issue ever placed before a nation. Canada is in real danger. The
clouds that obscure her vision must be brushed aside so that the
great issue stands forth clear and disti ct,

To -day, in our national crisis, Quebec alone among all the
prof-incc:s stands more united than ever before. She knows what
she wants:
(i) Withdrawal from the war.
(2) Bilingual schools everywhere.
(3) Weakening of the ties of British connection.
(q.) Political control of Canada.
From the Ottawa River to Labrador and the Gulf, a com-
mon purpose actuates Quebec in her determination to profit
by the factional divisions of Canada and to impose her will upon
all the people of Canada. -
Within the last few weeks, Quebec has mobilized all her
forces to dominate Canada under the unified leadership of Bourassa
and Laurier. Canada knows that these two men in their earlier
days were personal friends and political associates. Canada knows
how in recent times they gradually drew apart—until in 1911
Bourassa opposed Laurier and helped to bring about his defeat, at
the polls. Canada knows that from that time forward, until a few
weeks ago, the breach between them steadily widened until envy
and hatred, eachtoward the other became the possession of both.
Bourassa and his followers were anathema to Laurier.
Should not the people of Canada ask themselves, before it is
too late, why these two men have suddenly agreed to bury the past,
why this sudden embrace each of the other? If we will but let the
scales drop from our eyes the answer is obvious. The ail -compelling
influences of Quebec have 'combinedto force the union of Laurier
and Bourassa in the common purpose of French Canadian dom-
ination.
We concede the right of French Canadians to make com-
mon cause of anything they think it is in their interests so to do.
This is a free country'. But as the French Canadians have already
combined to assert their views, it is the duty of the hour that we
English-speaking Canadians get together and present to Quebec
a united front in the defence of our rights. This is imperative.
With sixty solid seats Quebec is about to accomplish
her designs. Bourassa, the real master and idol of Quebec, is in
sight of his goal.
To attain her purpose, Quebec has not scrupled to ignore
British traditions and to suppress freedom of speech. So thor-
oughly organized is her campaign to prevent even the discussion
of the war that Unionist candidates are prevented from holding
tale e A1i ..na
public meetings throughout that Province. The Unionist minority
in Quebec are the victims of orgu;u::ed obstruction,
To be successful in her determination to rule all Canada,
Quebec has but to secure a few seats in each of the other i'rotrinces.
Quebec leaders now seek to divide the rest of Canada into factions
by insidiously bringing into political dissension olcl-time party ques-
tions, to divert the public mind from chalice, her Tnu-12e,,e and her
ambitions.
United in her determination to quit the war, Quebec would
compel a divided Canada to do likewise. By union only can the
English-speaking people prevent this calamity.
However well-meaning Laurier candidates in Ontario may
be, they will be helpless against a united Onebes. •
Apart from the splendid work of the small English-speaking
population, Quebec has failed the Red Cross, has failed the
Patriotic Fund, has failed ill recruiting and has failed in the
Victory Loan. Dare we trust our soldiers, their wives, their
children, their pensions and their allowances to Quebec, that will
neither give, enlist nor invest, and which will resist taxation for
the support of our men and their dependents?
Canada must decide whether she will become a deserter
and quit with Russia, or fight to the end for liberty with Belgium.
This decision must not be dictated by the only Province which
has shirked its obligations throughout the war.
All Canada knows that Germany has been working through
agents, spies and bribes in every country in the world. The latest
evidences are the revelations recently made to the- world by .Presi-
dent Wilson. Do we Canadians think the Kaiser has overlooked
Canada? If we do, what a fool's paradise!
Germany benefits by division: among her enemies. Upon
whom would she look•in Canada as furtheringher designs? Not
Sir Robert Borden, Mr. Rowell and their colleagues in the Union
Government. That is certain. 13ut can the same be said with
respect to the leaders in the Province of Quebec whose attitude
in this war is against Canada's continuation in the war. We
regret to be compelled to say these things, but we must not shut
our eyes to facts.
The Citizens' Union Committee, anxious for the maintenance of British ideals and traditions,
views with alarm the menace of French-Canadian domination with its inevitable influence
upon the home, the school and the state.
We, therefore, :ail upon all English-speaking men and women to realize that—Canada,
divided by political factions and old-time party questions, is at the mercy of a united Quebec.
Union Government alone can save Canada from the menace of French-Canadian domination.
