BORDEN'S NAVAL POLICY, •010.M.,111.10•11••••••••••••••,•10 "No policy could be more states- manlike or patriotic than thie, nor could, it have been proclaimed in nobler or more moving words. They will ring throughout the world as a declaration that the Dominions stand side by tilde with the mother county in the great task of mauling the rem - mend of the bee—that in thie new 'el a of intenee and ever-growing nave competition, they are ready and siU- ing and proud to join in bearing the burden of Imperial defence." --[Daily Mail. London. "The word epoch-making is often used without justification for quite trivial events, but it has a real signal- cance when applied to the announce- ment which Mr. Borden made in the Dominion House of Commone,- We need not say that the people of this country will gratefully welconee this proposal, both for the handsome material aid which it offers and for the generous loyalty to the Empire which prompts it. '—[Tiee Westminster Gazette, London. "A thrill of pride will run through the yeins of every Englishman as he rea,de Mr. Borden'ts speech announcing the determination of his Government to ask Canada to give three fully equipped super -Dreadnoughts to the mother country. It was a great oc- casion and a great speech. The need for this aid to the mother country is made clear by the Admiralty Memor- andum showing laow the extraordinary growth of other navies has compelled us to withdraw a large number of vessels from Colonial waters and from the Mediterranean so as to concentrate our naval forces in the North Sea."— [The Graphic, London, Dec. 6, 1912. "The speech of Mr. Borden in the Canadian House of Commons marks an epoch in the history of the British Einpire in the histpry of the world. i Canada, " as we expected, has risen to the height of her great argument, and through the 'mouth of her Prime Minister answers in thunder tones the challenge of those who seek to deprive the British peoples of the supremacy of the sea. The speech in which Mr. Borden introduced his motion was well worthy of the subject and the occasion. If the Canadian Parliamert accepts, as no doubt it will, Mr. Bord- en's propositions, we shall enter upon a new era, of hope and security and can face the perils of the future with a confidence born of the knowledge that it is not the island kingdom but the world empire with which the adver- saries or assailants -of Britain will have to reckon. The mother of the lion. line will indeed be vindicated in her children,"—[The Standard, London, Dec. 6, 1912 "Britain looks on them (Canadians) to -day with the loving pride with which a mother behold e her first-born when he dons for the first time the uniform of his regiraent or of an Osborne cadet. Mr. Borden's glowing yet business -like speech, made clear the reason, the purpose and the aim, of the emergency proposals which he laid before Parliament. "Mr. Borden is himself the most striking example of the untold ad- vantage which the Empire will derive when the wisdom of every Imperial statesman is held at the service of the Empire as a whole. His clear outlook, his imagination, his grasp of essentials, and his driving power were never better displayed than in the speech which moved Parliament to .entbusi- asm, and in the proposals which he so lucidly unfolded to it. We sometimes bewail the lack of a real forceful per- sonality who, in days of peril, would lead the Empire. Perhaps it does not occur to us sufficiently often that tbe Pitt or Canning of the future may be found, not in these islands but in Canada. or Australia," — [Pall Mall Gazette, -London. "If you are going to help the British Empire, put your force where the British Adrairality want it. They are the judges they are the men whose views should guide us," Hon, Geo, E Foster, Dec, 18, 191Z EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. —Breathes there a Canadian with soul so dead, whose pulse does not quicken and his heart glow with pride as be reads the following quotation from Hon. Winston Churciaiife speech in the British House of COMM& ns. " While they (the Canadian ships) will be directly controlled by the Admiralty, we propose to form them, With the Malay and New Zealand ships, into a new ' squadron of five ships of high uni- form speed, to be called the Im- perial Squadron. It will be based at Gibraltar, and thence able to reach Halifax in live days, Quebec in six days, Jamaica in nine dare the South American coast in 12 days, Cape Town in thirteen days, Alexandria, in three days, Sydney in twenty-eight days, New 'Zealand in thirty-two days, Hong Kong in twenty-two days and Vancouver in twenty-three days, Our in- tention is that this ‘sque,clron shall as opportunity serves, cruise freely about the Empire visiting the do- minions, ready to operate at any threatened point at home or abroad, The tionoinions will be considered in all movements not dominated by military conaclera. Mon% "Special facilities will be given for Canadians, Booth Africaus and New Zealanders to serve as men or officers In this squadron. In this way the true ides will be given of a Mobile, Imperial squad- ron of the greatest strength and toped, patrolling the Empire, ohowIng the flea; and bringing ef. fective aid whenever needed."— Winston Churchill, in speech on naval estitnatee. Three Canadian Dreadnoughts form- ing, with others from sister colonies, an Imperial Squadron based at the Itey to the Mediterranean, the Itey to British Supremacy, the Key to the Peace of the World.

Donations To Hospital Building Fund. We who claimed while still in office Parliament should be Impreme That its power was all sufficient Sanction for our naval scheme. We wbo spoke with exaltation Of the peoples' sacred right To express their royal mandates • Through the legislatures might, Why are we, you ask so ready, Now our Party's sun has set, To adopt, the playful antics Of the wanton suffragette. Well my friends you Must remember That the gifts of power are sweet And the shades of opposition Colder than the gamblers feet. That Mackenzie King's an outcast Fisher too was left behind When the Country's cursed naandate Chilled us with its icy wind. Shall we let our former comrades Weary and repine at home Think of Fisher digging post holes In the lonely wilds of Brorne. Think of King the boy Napoleon Printing posters let Berlin Striving, struggling, hoping, praying, That he may once more get in. What care we for peoples mandate When the Party's purse is lean Has the British Empire ever Helped to grease the Grit machine.

Pugsley Oh my well -beloved Emmerson my tried and true Ye who faced. with streaming fore- .' ht,ads Borden's bolt from out the blue. In this solemn naval crisis, You're the sort the Country craves Men. who conjured out of sawdust Wharves that brave the oceans' wave. Tell us not that Laurier's projects Are as dead as withered grass, Pugsley made a wharf of sawdust Why not Dreadnoughts out of Gas? Ships of gas and wharves of sawdust Can'the"country ask for more Than this offering of Obstruction's Leather lunged and senseless roar. So while aid from 'other Britons Guard the welfare of the State, By the grace of Pankhurst Pugsley We'll contribute a Debate. CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY A free citizen in a free State should shun the mayoralty of Toronto if he must forfeit his rights of conscience and iiberty of speech during a term of service in the mayoralty. Mayor Hocken discussed the Que- bec marriage laws and other phases of clerical ascendancy in a speech to his brother Orangemen at Windsor, A writer in a Quebec organ of clerical - heat points out that the Roman Catho- lies are forty-two per cent. of the pop- ulation of Canada. The people who constitute this minority of forty-two per cent. are represented as having it in their power to deal a death blow to Toronto's trade, commerce and indus- try if Toronto permits Mayor Hockeo to publicly speak the convictions of %ill true Protestants and many non-'''ero- testanter in regard to the Quebec mar- riage laws and other phases of cleri- cal domination. The minority of forty-two pr Is cent is so overwhelmingly localized n Que- bec that the withdrawal of its pater 'w- age would be no great blow to Toronto. The Canadiaus who wor- ship at the altars of the minori y in the other provinces tealize that i:sey have no more right to punish Toromo on account of Mayor Hocken'e oppo- sition to the marriage laws of Que- bec than Protestants would have to withdraw their custom from Quebec on account of the Mayor of Montreal's support of these marriage laws. The Globe would be well employed in re- buking the insolence of the clerical organ that dares to threaten Toronto with commercial loss and injury be- cause Mayor Hocken speaks his con- victions in his personal relations as an Orangeman and his private capacity as a citizen. The Globe is chief among the abject vassals of the clericalism that silences newspapers and terror- izes politicians in this country. The Globe's idea seems to be that Toronto will auntie in pocket if this city dares to elect a Mayor who cherishes con- victions that Quebec clericalism can- not applaud. Clericalism in its threat to boycott Toronto on account of Mayor Hocken's speech is a fine in- dication of what the minority may expect when Home Rule esta,blishett clerieal ascendancy in Ireland.—LE ven- ing Telegram, Toronto.
