MONDAY. AUGUST 2, 1915

CANADA NOW A PARTNER

An lniperial Federation has practically been accom-

lished and t‘nnada has been admitted into active partner- ship with .lolin Bull by the participation of Sir Robert Borden in the Cabinet councils of the British Government during his present visit to England. We are no longer fan "adjunct," a "colony" of the imperial Government, 'but nn active worning partner, taking part in the admini- stration as well as in the field work now in progress on the blood-stained soil of France and Belgium.

Sir llobcrt Borden has steadily maliitalned that the

growing iniport-alice of Canada must be recognised and that our participation in the defence of the Empire must iiecessnrily bring participation in the councils that formu- lutiiil the policy of Britain. llis object has been accom- plished and he has had the distinguislied honour of being the first Colonial statesman admitted to an Imperial Cabinet council. There he sat on equal terms with Preinier Asiniitli, Sir Edward Grey, lion. W. Bonar Law, lion. A. J. Balfour, lion. David Lloyd George and other menibers of the Cabinet in whose hands have been en- trusted the destinies of the Empire.

ln proposing in 1912 his measure for active co-operation

ot' (‘anadn in imperial naval defence, Sir Robert Borden i'ore<-astcd the development of (‘anada's participation in the foreign policy of the Empire. At that time on this ques- tion Sir ltoliert Borden expressed these sentiments:

“ it is not necessary to dwell upon the increasing power

and influence of (`unaila within the Eniplre, due to its reiniirkable growth and expansion. and to the wonderful iinil rapid development of its resources during the past imnrli-r ot' ii century. With this increasing power and influence there has necessarily come by sure and gradual steps a certain development in our relations with the l'niii-il Kiiigiloni and the other dominioiis. The evolution -of the constitutional relations within the Empire during the past half century has not been less marked than its iniiteriul progresi-i. lu this constittutionnl development, we are nei'essnril_\' corifronled with the problem of com- bining co-operiition with autonomy.

"lt seems most essential that there should be such

‘oo-operation in defence and in trade as will give to the whole Iilmpire an effective organisation in these matters oi' vital concern. ()n the other hniiil, catch dominion must preserve in all important respects the autonomous govern- ment which it now possesses. Responsibility for the lilinpirc`s ilefeiicc upon the high seas, in which is to be i'ound the only effective guarantee of its existence, ami which has hitherto been asshinieil by_lhe United Kingdom, has ni-cessarily ciirrieil with it responsibility for ami con- trol ot' foreign policy. With the enormous increase of naval power which has been undertaken by all great nations in ri-cent years. this tremendous responsibility has cast un ahnost impossible burden upon the British Isles, which for nearly ii thousand years have exercised so profound an influence upon the world's history. That burden is so great that the day has come when either the existence of this Empire will be imperilled or the young ami mighty doniiiiions must join with the Motherlaiid to make secure the common safety and the common heritage of all.

ventured on many public occasions to propound the priii-

‘~'0"U'0l Of l'0l“i‘itZll D0ll(`y. No declaration that I made was greeted more heartily and enthusiastically than this. lt is

party in Great Britain have explicitly accepted that prln- 1 i'lple and have affirmed their conviction that the means b t

iioiislii. discovered and utilised without dehiy." ` 'l`lie principle_enunciated above has been accepted and .Sir Robert has hnnsi-lf given practical effect t.o its accept-

i‘H"0 by illleiiiliiilz the Cabinet councils of the British Parlinnieiit.

(V In the same address he conveyed the nggnrnnce Q0 th" .anadinn Parliament or the willingness of ine 13r|¢_n,|,

year. Such Minister would be regularly summoned to all meeiiiigs of the f'oniniittee of Imperial Defence, and would be regarded as one of its permanent members No ini- portant step in foreign policy would be undertaken without

consultation with such a representative of Canada. This

seems 11 Very marked advance. both from our standpoint

ami from that of the United Kingdom. It would give to us an opportunity of consultation, and therefore an ln. fluence which hitherto we have not ,pqpsessed Tm. mn. 1-lnsions and declarations of Gro t / ’ foreign relations could not fiiil tr? bggsdhgggeirgdpscttlto

kliowlellge that such consultation and co-operation ywith

the Overseas Iiomlnion lind become an accomplished fact

"l think the question of (‘anada’s co-operation upon it

p anent basis in imperial defence involves very large ami wide considerations. 'if f‘nnada and the other domin-

ions of the Empire are to take their part ug nations of t

Hllilisuliiriiliire in the defence of’ the Empire as n whom a ie that we, contributing to that defence of th

whole Empire, shall have absolutely, nn Citizens of this

ARE WE DECADENT ?

. The Germans before the war made no bones about declaring that the British were a dying nation. They pro- claimed that the peoples of the British Isles and her colonies lacked cohesion, because the whole Empire had

ber people were given over either to money making or to

_ . 'no strong central orzanisation and that the majority of

pleasure seeking. They declared that the British had so

long been given to ease that they had lost their virility and fighting qualitiei- ~ '1‘he Germans declare that no system of government, based solely on the will oi’ the people, can stand. In order to have an efficiency the will of the people must be sub- ordinated to the State. This would not be so had if the

government were composed of representatives who ex- pressed the will of the _majority ot the people. Unfor- tunately in Germany this is not so. Sheis ruled by ll minority oi’ vested interests dévoted to the trade.oi’ war.

This minority. composed ot able and designing individ-

uals, have so imbued the common people, through' the

schools and colleges, with theiriown ideas on military matter; and the superiority o_t,_t.he German race, and have since the war disseminated solnalli' 181891100119 BB to the weaknesses and the diseases of the Allies that they have swung the whole nation into line.

The Government of Germany is a military despotism.

Whether we shall see this system broken in our day or not. there is no question but it shall be broken. History amply proves that such a system does not stand the test of time, for eventually some strong man will arise and crush the liberties of the people. The people, deprived of liberty and the exercise of their wills, that God given attribute that makes them strong, sink lower and lower and by and bye fall a prey to stronger nations as the Roman Empire did.

There is nowhere, and there never existed, ia. freer

people than the British, and at no time has her voluntary

system of freedom been tried as it is now. 4 ¢‘

The question is, will it stand the test? One thing we can rest assured of, that never can S0011

a system fail if all the people will use their freedom wisely. lf people do not use that freedom as they ought to now we shall go under, for we cannot hope to cope with the Germans with their strong central organisation and with their preparation of years for the struggle, unless every available man of us goes forward. -~

in a case like this why do not more people offer? Is

it to take advantage of the times to make mpney? Oi’ what good will all our money be ii' the Germans win out and come here? Is it that we are too fhnd of our ease and pleasures? Wfhere will our ease and pleasure be under the German taskmiistor? is it that we are such cowards as to be afraid and are sheltering ourselves, Thawlike.

behind our wives’ petticoats’ if that is so we are surely ear the end of our race and the Germans have a right to beat us.

Let it be understood that we are not fighting so much

in n. uuarrcl between certain European nations, as in at struggle that we may continue to be free ami that our children may enjgy the same freedoni that we do, that our daughters may be free from insult and our sons free from military slavery.

Lei us thunk God the issue is so plain. our duty so

clear in the matter ami that our free men are at last awake to the issue, and responding to the Empire's call as never before. _

LUXEMBUR(i’S POSITION

in the midst of the gigantic dramas that are being

staged on the world’s theatre in these days, one is apt to lose count of the smaller tragedies. that were not even a nine days' wonder when they happened.

Between the frontiers of France and Belgium and

Prussia there is a little plateau that’ holds about two hundred thousand people. it is rather contradictory in some of its aspects, seeing that the bulk ot' its inhabitants are Low German. the language ol’ its eiluciiteii people is l~‘rench, and a half of its territory has been for nearly n century under the Belgian flag.

It was said. shortly after the outbreak of the present

war, that the Grand Duchess had accepted a huge bribe to permit the passage of German ‘troops towards Belgium, but there is nothing to prove the statementrinid several circumstances to disprove it. The Duchess herself is held as a prisoner in her own castle, and reeently'quite a number of her people have been taken over the Gorman frontier and tried on various charges.

The latest rumour is that, after the war. Germnnv will
