.1 A country, any more than a man, lives not unto it- self alone. lts actions and the course it pursues af- fect favourably or adversely the course and policy of other countries with ivliicli it comes in contact or with which it is related. This has been supremely mani- fested in the development of the British Empire. The inter-relationship of the diiicrciit parts dias been ofx vital importance, and just as the feeling swayed to- wards or a\vay from the Mother Country, so the ba- rometer of the limpire rose and fell.

In its yestcrday’s issue the Patriot endeavours to

iiiake out that the leading people in the l\lotl_icr Couii- try preferred the naval policy of Sir \\"ilfrid Laurier to`tliat of Sir Robert Borden, Our coiiteinporary is

woefully or wilfully mistaken on this point.

The Borden Naval Policy brought out a remark-

able outburst of joy, gratitude and hope from the centre of the British limpire and maile_the enemies and rivals of Britain conscious that they had to rec- kon with all the Brifisli _Doininions alnd not,_._with the British Islands aloi'ilc.i When the Sériate -riiade its' great refusal the news was a message of gloom and disappointment to the Mother Country while`Germa-` ny was filled with exultation. Personal expressions of appreciation and praise were publicly made b_v l\lr. ll. ll. Asquith, l".arl (irey, Lord Lansdowne, hir. lialfour, Earl Roberts.

Sonic of the views of the press, both l,i|ici'al and

Conservative, ou~the Borden policy, may be given in

_=-'l`lie Loiiilc-ii 'l`iuies said :--

_ “'l`he gift of three Dreziiliioiiglits, striking and significant as it would be at any time, will carry it yet greater signiticaiicq in this moment of grave international strain. The world has not yet un-

dci-rt-~ fi what the llritish li-npire meat. but 't bcgiiiiiiiig to uiiilcrstanfl today that as a weight in the scales ini' peace its power and influence ar:

tiiiparallt-lcd."

` _'Another great English paper, the London Stau-

dard said :-

'i “If the Canadian Parliament accepts, as no

doubt it will, Mr. 1iorden’s propositions, we shall inter upoi_r_a new era of hope and security and can face the perils of the future with the confi- _ __ that it is iiot the is- l;ii_u_l.l<iiigilotii, but the world linipire with which the :til-versaries..or assailants of Britain will have
