The ll¢0|,lle of Canada are entitled

to warning against an amazingly aud- 1¢‘l0US game of deception being play- ed by the Llberal~l\'ationalist forces in the Province of Quebec.

There is reason to believe. arid. in

due time the truth will be forthcom- Entl. that a secret alliance exists bc- tween Henri Bourassa and the Liber- 3| D3l'i.\‘ leaders to secure the return uf Sir Wilfrid Laurier to office and the

restoration of Queyac .\lation'allst in- fluence in`Ottawa. 'iii order to make this alliance as effective as possible. and at the same time to conceal its existence and aim from the public. there is being prac- tised a clever and dangerous game. This game take-s the form of attacks on Sir Wilfrid Laurier b_v Henri Bou- rassa in the Province of Quebec to aid Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the Prov- ince of Ontario.

There can be no doubt that there is

a Bourassa-Laurier alliance. Mr. Bourassa has pledged himself to ren- der the most effective indirect aid within his power to return Sir Wil-_ frid to office. '

Wliere is Sir Wiit`i'id Laurier most

in need of aid?

IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.

How can Henri Bourassa assist

Laurier in Ontario? _

For example, llourassa "attacked"

Laurier on Sundav as being too Eug- lish and too lmperialistlo On Mon- day the Globe carried a column lone editorial calling upon Ontario to support Laurier because Bourassa as- miled him.

Yet on the very day that Bouras8a

was making his fake attack on Lauri- er. Bourassa's chief lieutenant, Ar- mand Lavergne, was speaking in sup- port of and from the same plaiform with Roch Lanciot, one of the leading Quebec Liberals in'Parl5ament and a ntirticular friénd and confidant of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

Mr. Roch Larietot is the Quebec

Liberal who spoke against the War "fredii vote in Parliament last ses- sion, He is the man who inspired the bilingual resolution which Sir Wilfrid Laurier fathered. lli.s' close associa- tion with Sir \\'ilfritl Laurier and Mr. .\rnitind Lnveriigc _ at one and the sarne tirti\,‘».aiiil lil:-i rercrit anti-Britiisli nit~\.ra|ii-c.s'. woirltl scent to indicate ii s|rri~i~iiilr-i' ot' Quebec l.iheral.~' tn the oiliciitl Natloiialist leatlars as the price nl' llourusszrs elfeetivi.; if elev- crly ronecaled support. ln the recent Quebec proviiieiai elc~ ctions Nationalists appeared on every Liberal nlatt`orin_ The alliance of the two parties was publicly an- nounced. The price of Nationalist support of the Liberals in that elcc~ tion was Liberal Support of the Bilin- gual reeoiution at Ottawa. Sir Wil- rfid Laurier paid the price-was will- ing ta pay it at the cost of his own leaderihip-and out of the concuben- age of the, two parties there has emerged the present Laurier-Bourassa entente.

The people of Vartaila. and especi-

ally the people of Ontario. neetl to girard against the sinister' cotiiliiiia- tion. Nn _"attack" that cart ever lm cori<'ei\'t°.<l by Ilenri llotrrassn can efrare the anti-British record oz' Sir \\'ilt'rid Laurier.
