NO TIME FOR DISUNION.
The conscription bill has been in.
troduoed in the House of Commons at
Ottawa, and the prob dainty is that it
will become the law of the land. The
chief point of criticism in connection
with the measure is that along with
conscription of men no provision is
made for conscription of wealth. It
is not just that, while some men are
called to sacrifice their lives at their
country's calI, other men should be
allowed to stay at hoot° and reap
large profits in bueine.e and profes-
sional life. It mewsiises.ase to be at
the call of the state, so must be sten's
material possession ; the two. pre-
positions
ro-positions are inseparable.
In Great Britain noestalption was
preceded by a gradual organis.tion,
under national control, of the means
of transportation, of munition work,
of various productive occupations, and
of men—all working up to the point
at which a conscription law was
brought into effect with • minimum
of disturbance. And in Great Britain
large incomes have been levied upon,
to a degree quite unknown io Canada,
for the purposes of the cttte.
In Canada there has been no such
preparation for conscription. Re-
peatedly it has been stated, by or on
behalf of the Government, that there
would he no conscription. Govern-
ment efforts in the way el organisa-
tion have been spasmodic arid inef-
fective. Recruiting was practically
stopped over a year ago, according to
the statement of Mir Saw Hughes, at,
the instance of the munition manu-
facturers. We had the National Ser-
vice cards, which people.igned or did
not sign just es they chose. Then.
after an shoetree from Canada of sum%
weeks, Sir Hobert Borden returns, an-
nonnces a hill providing for conscrip-
tion of men only, and is sur-
prised at the turmoil which emus..
Again an important difference he -
tweet] the 'procedure in Canada and
that in (creat Britain oust be pointed
out. (creat 11- it.ain adopted conscrip-
tion under b coalition Government.
In Canada the Conservative party has
all along kept government in its own
hands, until, startled by the opposi-
tion to conscription which developed
after his announcement in the House,
Sir Robert Borden offered to Mir Wil-
frid L•eur•ier a others in the Govern.
meat. Many Liberals hoped that Sir
Wilfrid would he able to accept this
offer and to take hie place beside the
, Conservative lender in a wartime
Cabinet. The conditions were such,
however, that Mir Wilfrid was unable
to accept. The Liberal chief was in-
vited to go into the Cabinet not to
give his advice and influence in the
forming of a policy, hut to help carry
out a policy already adopted and in-
sisted upon by Sir Robert Bordeu.
Sir Wilfrid was nog to be a free agent,
and his position in the Cabinet under
these circumstances would have bad
little respect from those opponents of
conscription whom it was evidently
hoped he would be able to control.
It is stated, too, that the Liberal chief
was hampered by • promise be made
eeveret years ago when he was fight-
ing the Quebec Nationalists led by
Bouraesa and financed by the Conser-
vative party. He promised then, so it
is stated, that he would not enfnrce
conseription without a mandate from
the people. Whether this pledge wits
really the stumbling -block to Sir
1Viltrid'e acceptance of coalition we
do not. know ; hnt the Liberal Mader
should not henonda.nned for refusing
to treat a proudest to the people, even
under the stews of wartime, as 'ea
scrap of paper:' Neither should the
diffleultie.s In which sir Wilfrid finds
himself. because of the fight he has
had to make against Quehae Nafional-
iam during the ism eight years, be
say bar to his holding the eonftdence
of the Liberal of Canada from coast
Ito coast. Rather should true Liberals
all the more faithfully rally ..found
the patriot who bas for so many years
earnestly sought to 'peke Canada a
united nation.
Canada is in the light to help win
the victory for human freedom and
interoation&I justice. Canada can
give the greatest measure of help by
the united effort of all It. people. If,
instead of harmony, we are to have
Ontario prejudice pitted against Quebec
prejudice. the result will afford com-
fort ti the enemies of the Allied came
and will divert the energies of th e
country from their proper purposes.
Disloyal agitators in Quebec bbould
be sternly dealt with, that the loyal
people of that Proving may pursue
their work with the best prospects of
success ; and demagogues in Ontario
should be brought to realise that the
etdemy is Prussia, not Qatibec. To
keep Canada—the whole of Canada—
In line is the business of Canada's
statesmen.

With almost his last breath, the late
Joseph H. Choate, great American
and great citizen of the world, gave
utterance to an expression of regard
for Britain and France and a faith in
their success which will not soon be
forgotten. Speaking at the dinner
given to the Allied war mission on
May 11th, in New vork City, he said :
"Now that we haie fairlyembarked
Ude i• war, followingthe ead of thaw
dear Allies of ours, Great Britain, our
beloved mother country, and France,
our dear, delightful, bewitching, fas-
cinating, hypnotizing sister, there can
be no such word as fail. We are in
for victory which must be won to-
gether." "There can he no such word
as fail." That hes been the attitude'
of Brittin and France since war be-
gan. Disaster g might occur, tenipor
ary defeats be suffered and difficulties
by the hundreds crop up, but in the
end bore wae only one conoeivable re-
sult., victory. Mr. Choate not Doty
