There has been no invas- • ion of Provincial Rights, and If the • Dominion have encroached on 'private' rights, the courte are quite compe- tent to deeide if it is agreed between the parties to seek their aid. The air- earestances as explained by Mr:Field- ing, who, supported his statements ny documental evidence, • are in the main as follows: The militia department, having de- cided that an extensive area was - necessary for the training of the de- fensive forees of the country in • modern 'tactics.inspected va.riousbitN3 the choice narrowing down to one In Quebec and one in Ontario, The government 'of Querec offered Crown lands free for this 'patriotic purpose.
