FROM THE FIELD ?l

Asks -_Sir Clifford Sitton in a ,llramatic Appeal .lb Liberal Leader in Senate to Stand True to Canada and-Empire in this lime of Crisis

OTTAWA.- The following is the- text of the open letter addressed to

Senator Bostock, Liberal leader in the Senate, by Str Clifford Sifton:

, Ottawa, July 23, 1917

“l-Ion. Hewitt Bostock, the Senate, Ottawa.

“My Dear Bostock. \Vill you permit an onlooker to respectfully ex

press his vie-ws on the present grave crisis in the affairs of Canada?

“As the leader of the Liberal party in the Senate, you-will shortly be

called upon to deal with the Military Service Bill. You and your colleagues will be faced with a grave responsibility.

“The world is in the first stages of a death grapple. No such dire and

fearful tragedy has ever -before occurred in the known history of mankind. The forces of tyranny and reaction throughout the world have rallied for a last desperate struggle. The fate of liberty, human rights and free mpdern civilization are at stake. The issue is still altogether undecided and hangs inthe balance.

CANADIANS BADLV IN NEED Ol-', RESERVES.

“We have 80,000 -men in the fighting line. lt is not more than our share

Their numbers are -being daily diminished by death and the casualties of war, They tire driven to the utmost of their physical powers by lack of reserves. Our reinforcements are almost exhausted. - 1

“-1- am confident that I voice the sentiments of many thousands of Ca-

nadians when l say that at this supreme moment we care nothing for Borden or Laurier, Conservatism or Liberalism. The overwheliming importance ui the crisis absolutely ohliterates all considerations of persons or parties. The only thing that matters is:

"1--To put every possible ounce of force into our striking power A

with men, guns, and munitions -in order to help the Alltel to win the

victory for liberty. A . El

‘t “2-To stand by our men at the front and give them abundant n

"` reinforcements and reaerv-as to admit of rest and recuperation.

“3-'-To maintain the 'honor of Canada and redeem our plekige tc R

lee the war through to the limit of our capacity. '

“In coiinmon with many others I had hoped that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, i:

he could not join a union government, would agree to an extension of the life of Parliament so as to permit the Ho1d i with its wui'

policy. To the profound regret of many tlionsunds of his best frieiids"lie hai __ decided upon another course. l have no criticism to offer upon his course G nor anything éxcépt'respectful sympathy for the difficulties of his position. _,

QUEBEC FORCING AN ELECTION ON CON‘SCR|PTl0N. I

' 'l‘l "The facts, liowe-ver, must be square]-y fiiccrl. The meaning of Sir Wil le

frid’s attitude and that of his principal supporters in Quebec is thatthey havi 5

detenminéd to force an election on thc single- issue of conscription. Read th- .speeches which are daily being delivered :ind you find that their policy in ei fect is:

“1-No conscription. . ' - ni

‘2-No more men. No more money

"4-Our regiments at the front wiltl be left stranded and wil

dwlndle and disappear as an effective fighting force.

"The predominating and controlling element behind Sir Wilfrid Lauriei

will not allow lilm to prosecute the war. No one who has the slighest ex perience of Parlia-mentary governmeiit, in Canada can honestly gainsay this

"lt is said that a great effort is to be made to unite behind a solid Que

hec all the elemen-ts in the populatioirwlio are hostile or lukewarm in regarc to the war, together with certain of the larger -business interests who feel that conscription will interfere with their operations. Thus ii determined ef fort is to be imade to re-lurn Sir Wilfrid Laurier to power.

"To ask these questions is to answer them. With Sir Wilfrid in power cases. senators will be appointed tomorrow.

the anti-war party of Quebec will dictate his policy. lt is dictating his policy now.

“lt is said that the Government has -made mistakes. Probably it has

All the other war governments made mls-takes. To err is human. -it is said that more skilful piloting would have avoided this crisis. Perhaps it would it is hard to say. On the other liniid it is alleged that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had he chosen to do so, when applied to, could have found a way out of the difiliculty. It may be so; it is easy to criticize.

"What is certain is that none of these things matters now. We have to

face facts, not theories. The issue- is simple. Either:

“t-We put our whole strength into the war.

' “2--Or abandon our msn at the front and dlishonor our solemn

obligation. _ ‘

` "I will go further. The decision of this issue will detenmine once and for all whether Canada is a nation, dominated and held together -by a na tional will and a national sense of honor, or is a helpless aggregation of sec tional communities held together only by time-serving concerns ot’ sectional interest. '

BTAND8 FDR A UNION GOVERNMENT.

*lf anything in this troubled world can be absolutely clear, it is clear,

today that we can grapple with this situation in one way, and in one way only, -by the fomnation of a union war government administered on non-par" tisan lines which will straightway appeal for a mandate to the people of Canada and can consistently be supported by every element in the population that ia loyal to the cause.

"Germany is fighting desperately to wear out tile fortitude of her oppo-

nents. ~lf she succeeds the peace will be inconclusive. it will be no peace for us -but the beginning of an intolerable strain of constant preparedness for war.

“We are not fighting for sentiment, for Engiond, for Imperialism;

we are fighting for the rights of ourselves and our children to live so

\ u tree community. _

“Shall Canada be the first of all tha Allllad nations to allnk from

,do much better. The work being done has a future ahead of it. While the whole province has not yet been covered with institutes, very satisfactory progress has been made. As far as the institutes have extiend ed, the results attained have been highly commendable. The assi-stantc rendered to the schools has been particularly good. in Rod Cross and similar patriotic work wonders have been accomplished. The time. will come when this branch of cu deavor will pass, but the institute wi-li

fostering the social and educational progress of the province.

The speaker said he looked for

ward to the time when the Institut(- would cover the whole province. Il -would mean a revolution in thc- cds catlonal and social condition of the Island. He commended the work oi the supervisor. Miss Sterur, and her assistants. The cu-operation of evi»i~_r member of the institutes is. iieces. sary. He wished the delegates a very pleasant and profitable time, while attending the convention.

Mrs. George McDonald, of Corn-

wall, made a fitting reply to Hon M. McKiunon`s address of welcome, in Red Cross work she declared that the action of the brave boys who had gone to the fgront had set a high standard and to aid them where pos- sible, was the least, they could do, considering the sufferings and sac riilces they were making. Mrs. Mc Donald declared that in time thc institute as a body will call t'or niuii_\ improvements, one of which will be medical ins-pectlon of schools tlirouglout the province.
