the security afforded by the navy to our homes, our commerce and all our varied

interests is only of one third as much ini- portance as it is to the people of Great Britain and Ireland. In that case our fair rontriliiitioii toward the cost of maln- taining the Imperial navy would still be live millions of dollars per annum.

These brief and hasty calculations hiiie

taken no account of the vast cost of con- structing and iiruilng the navy, and the coaling and naval stations and docks

about the world that are necessary to its ellioient operation. That cost has fallen entirely upon the people of the United

Kingdoin and they have either paid it, or are paying the resultant interest charge

lriiely' :Tie Imperial Federation Defence

Committee on the request of Lord Salis-

hury oiiered sugestions on the or-ganisa

tion of the Empire for defensive purpos~ es. The sziggestions took the line of estabibhi ig an Imperial Council and the

creatioziofaii Imperial Defence Fund

in'o wliicfi should be paid all the money-‘s

voted for Imperial Defence. This fund to

be ad:riini~ cred by the Imperial Council, and this Iworly to be informed on all mat- ters of foreign policy necessary toenable it to deal adequately' with questions of defence.

Perhaps it is yet too soon to formulate

a deiiiiitc plan for the object under con-

sideration, liecause the sentiments of the Outlying colonies and dependencies in regard thereto are yet in transitioii state.

There is no doubt a growiiig feeling in Canada and Australia. in favor of assum-

ing a share in the cost of national defence. In that regard the Australian colonies have led "he way and have for years con~ tributed Zoward the cost of their own naval protection. At the time of the Queens Jubilee Cape Colony made a for-

a battleship,and little Natal made offer of

10,01) tons of coal year y toward supplying the motive power for the Imperial navy. ~ Thus the southern colonies were far in I advance of Canada in volunteering their sid. `

The question of defence is a very com-

plicated one, and no general scheme can be made in advance by which the cost could be fairly apportioned. Now it may V

that is in danger. If India were iivaded

by Russia, the cost of defence must be borne more largely by India than by Can-

ada. If Canada were menaced by the United States the cost of defence ought to fall more largely upon us than upon India or Australia. The security of the Mediterranean and Suez route, while of

some consequence to all parts of the Em-

Country than to Canada. It will be seen ata glance that until we know in what quarter aggression may have to be en-

countered it would not be possible to equi-

tibly apporbion the general cost of de-_ fence.

But one thing is apparent, and that is that any danger from warlike attack which may hereafter threaten Canada would probably menace us both on sea and land. In preparation for such an emer- gency we have a small permanent land force, and some 35,iXl0 enrolled and part-

preparation of our own to meet or repel attacks upon our commerce or our coasts.

In that regard we depend wholly upon the _ ships of the Imperial navy, to whose crea- tion and maintenance we have not hither-

to contributed a single dollar. In that re-

spect the Australian colonies. Cape Colony and Natal have, as we have seen, pursued

A The colonies all to the British navy for defence of their and their com-

merce and to thecost of that branch: of

the defence ofthe Empire they ought clearly to be regular contributors. The
