Two French-Canadian Views

“The Canadian people have been thrown together here. They are all sub- jects of the same Empire. Let them work together for the prosperity of that Em- pire, and of Canada.”—Mr. Bergeron, (Con.)

“Tam notin favor of spending a cent to knit closer the bonds which unite us to Great Britain. We have hardly anything in common with the old continent. [ am a Canadian,and my ideal is to eee Canada take rank amoug the independent nations as soon as she is cufficiently developed.” —Mr. Monet (Lib.)

“The empire is engaged in one of the mos’ disastrous ware that England has waged for the last two hundred years. It has been said that she is right in fight- ing the Boers. I will go further, and say thatI will not enquire whether she } isright or wrong. All I keoow is that when the Mother Country is engaged ina fight, it isthe duty of @ eon, if he bas any heart in his breast, to give his assist | ance.”—Mr, Bergeron (Con.)

“Canada has takeu sides in awar that is crue}, unjust and oppressive. Canadians are asked for their contribution in one of the most murderous wars of the century. Canada has nothiog to dg with that war, |

For my part, f am opposed te any ¢on-

side of Gunada, and I ‘will oppose any { such contribuiion in the House at the next seesion. if Iam etill a member.”— Mr. Monet (Lib.)
