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, 'Is U 0 ee to 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. The Citizens' Union Committee A Non -Partisan War -Time Organization to Support Union Government J. W.
