Dear Sir,-1 have the honor to ac-

“We understand that you have

What Laurier Says

1 would have thought that my re-

corded utterances ill and out of par- liament would have left no one in

Bu-t since there- are some of my fel- low citizens -who expr-ess the idea for ll fulthcr explicit declaration, I deem lt. llly duty ut once to colllply with llle reollc-.at_ At t.ile opening ot’ par- ticipation ot’ Canada ill support ot' Grout Britain und her allies, it seein- ed evident that even at that early moment the war was above- all else a struggle not only for supremacy but i'or the very existence ot’ democ- racy and ot' civilization itself, alld this truth has become more and

more malliiest as events developed. until even the American people. though strongly averse to war had also to enter the, conflict.

I then ileltr, and still iloltl, that the

rt-asons were paramount for (Tallada to cxt-rt its t'ull strength to assist through all intelligent organization

ami lllobillzatlon of all its resources.

\\'lliIst willing and ready to make every allowance for mistakes and ev- r-il serious errors, I am forced to state that lu llly'_iudglllellt -the ut1'll'lir'lisItra-
