Sparling, General Staff Officer of Military District, No. 8, wholably discussed the sub- ject of Canada's status as a nation and her position as regards defence.

The establishment of this status was the result c! an evolution extending over a period of nearly a century. The speaker outlined clear- ly the steps leading up to this recog- nition. Canada has often served as an interpreter between Britain I attained a high degree of nation- hood, but with the attainment has come added responsibilities, respon- sibilities of home and empire de- fense, and of making decisions as to whether or not to participate in war. She also must take her place in the League of Nations, and have her voice in international affairs. Volunteer militia in Canada is 24,000 less than it was before the war. The British Empire devotes a smaller percentage of her budget to national defense than does the four other great world powers. Canada has 3,500 in her permanent force, locat- ed at Halifax and Esquimalt. The speaker in closing told that there is need for preparation as the inter- national situation may change at any time. One new member, Mr. W. J. Monaghan, was added to the club membership last evening. The guests were Messrs. Jack Hearn and L. T. Lcwther.
