On May . 14, HE ABSOLUTELY DENIED ANY _it, of Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia and De- tha ffence will be received with mixed feelings, feelings tio of profound regret and of general relief'. Sir Sam a s 'l`he resignation, and circumstances connected with mation o ` n - earned his laurels iii the early months' of the war ciples iii when, practically single handed and in the face of par many obstacles and obstructions, he raised, equipped outside and had convoyed overseas well-iiigh: 150,000 men. posi At the same time he laid the foundations of our mu- in nitions industry, and made the business men of the est Dominion realize what they could do for the Empire ben and Canada by taking a hold of this all-important en-1Mi terprise.. But liis _great success in overcoming dihi- vernmeiit culties, developed an independence of policy and action abs which could not be tolerated for any length of time ill wa a constitutional Government. When inCai1adaSirSan1si Gr actions could be to some extent controlled, but wheii_by hc went overseas and in his capacity of Mihister of_liei Militia and Defence introduced inovations and inade ha appointments ivithoufcoiisultation with either the Mi- REEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONA- STS AND THE CONSERVATIVES OF THE PRESENT TIME. He traced, on the 16th, the for- f the Nationalist League in 1902 and alleged t Hon. Mr. Lemieux, with Sir VV. Laurier’s sanc- , approved by letter its principles. According to ummary in the Toronto Star (Liberal) these prin- Defence matters were as follows (1) No. ticipatioii by Canada in any wars the Canadian soil : (,_) Op tion to all and any attempt at recruiting soldiers Canada for Great Britain; (3) Opposition to thc ablishment of any Naval School in Canada for the eiit of the Imperial Navy; (4) Direction of the litia by a Canadian officer, nominated by the (io- in Canada; (5) Suppression of leaves of ence for oiiicers in order to take part in Imperial rs. On May 26th Mr. Bourassa alleged that Earl ey was the chief factor iii obtaining united action the parties in 1909, that he was the disciple and r of Cecil Rhodes and thaat out of the 1909 policy d come the 1913 contribution.” This is a summary of the translation and inter- litia Council or Cabinet. his independence became ii pretation danger to the organization of the Department( ltlarti may safely be assumed that the breaking point came,E sin when the Government at Ottawa were informed bv' co press telegrams that Sir Sam had, oh’ his own bat,it e appointed‘a Deputy Minister for London, besidesiabs other two important new administrative officials (iii-‘Ca cluding his son-in-law). The appointments were im- mediately disowned by the Prime Minister, and when Sir Sam returned the /rosiliori of Deputy Minister for overseas was approved, but Sir Sam’s nominee was not. Nothing further was leamed ot the.other fu appointments, so it may be assumed they did not meet .I Qir h of the Liberal Toronto Star of Bourassa`.1 cles, and our readers will see that far iroiii accu- Robert Borden and his governiiieiir of aiiv K ~ _ 1 mplicity in his plans or breach of faith with him 011 Naval question or any other matter, Mr. Boura_ssa olutely denied any agreement whatever between thc nservatives and the Nationalists. _ 'riii-: nehiscuthun ` That the German submarine Deutsclilaud success- )0 with approval.
