Much has been said and written as to Canada`s duty in regard to contributing to the cost of the imperial navy. The navy protects us, we are told, and we cor- tribute nothing toward itsf maintenance. Many inlthe ` Mother Country and not a few loyal Canadians think this is all wrong, that we are failing ot our clear duty and that whatever complaints we may have to make of British displomacy or boundary settlements to our disadvant- age, our duty is to “put up or shut up"- that is contribute to the cost of naval dc- maybe put upon us. But on the other side it is urged that Britain never built or maintained one additional battleshipor cruiser on Canada's account, and not for more :than ninety years D885 UNB Ship been engaged or a naval gun tired in de- fence of a Canadian port or of Canadian commerce. Tne navy was created for the protection of the British Isles and cf British trade, It is necessary to the security of the United Kingdom that Britain shall be supreme upon the seas, es- pecially as two-thirds of her supply of foodstutfs must come from beyond the seas. Without this supremacy she might be starved into submission. Canada has no such nfed;she is self-sustaining in re- gard to food. And moreover the extent to which the navy could defend us in the event of war with the United States will be extremely limited. We have three or fourthousand miles ef inland boundary which could not be reached by naval lguns. There would lie our danger. But ifor the protection of our seap0rts, Hali- f .l lil’ Ill) IMZM bmvuP For your winter suit and overcoat keep on buying 1 Gvercoats $8, $10, $12 $15, $18, $20, thousand dollars’ worth, than it will anywhere else in other stores.

I far, St Johr, Charlottecwii, \'aneouvel‘. Victoria and other ports, and especially for the s°curit/ of our sea going trade we ~ must all greatly value the imperial navy. Then again on the other hand it is im-| portant to be borne in mind that but for ‘ Britain`s numerous wars, not one of V which has been undertaken on Canada'sl account for ninety years past, Caiiada's ports and corrniercc have not been andl Britain`s account and not on our own, ought not Britain to guard ur against the danger she brings us into? The case is the stronger when in this connection we repeat what has already been said, that Britain has neither built nor main- tained a single ship on Canada’s account. And we may add that were Canada and Newfoundland to become independent, iBritain’s naval strength would be greatly weakened by her being wholly excluded prived of her naval bases and coaling stations there and in the northfmtern Atlantic. We are not arguing that Can- ada ought not to assist in maintaining the navy. On the contrary we would be glad if something were done by the Dom- inion to that end. But we do contend that the navy is not of proportionate value to us as it is to Britain, and that by no process of fair reasoning can Canad- ians’ be asked or expected to contribute in any such proportion per head of popula- t'on, ox' per ton of shipping, or in propor- tion to our aggregate trade, as the people of the British Isles. I Although we disbelieve in the justice of such proportionate contribution it may be of interest to consider what by such a scheme Canada would be required to pay. George Johnson, the Dominion statiszi- cian has figured it out. The British Ern- pire has 11,123,967 registered tons of ship- ping. The estimates for 1901 give about $155,0iD,000 as the cost. of the navy. This _shipping on her registry. This at $14 would make our annual contribution $9,300,000. On the basis of exports and imports the trade of the:Britlsh Empire is about $6,900,000,000 a year. This makes ‘ the cost of protection about 1-3 per cent. of the total export and import trade. Cinada’s business was $460,000,000 in 1901. At 2 1-3 per cent. C.-inada‘s share would be $9,300,000 a year. Mr. Johnson proceeds to point out that the cost of the United States navy equals 3 per cent on the exports and imports. It we belonged to France we Would by the some rule have to pay 3.6 per cent for navalinsurauce. He adds that if we were independent we would have to provide ourselves with a navy. Holland, which has about the same population as the Domf,n- ioo, Mr. Johnson thinks “ha.s a dozen ships of war and several coast defence monitors, besides torpedo boats, etc. and From this it will easily appear that we can much better afford to contribute, say from two to five millions yearly toward the support of the Imperial navy than to undertake to provide and maintain a navy of her own. There is something in names.There was a fitness in the names of the Am rica . Boundary Commissioners. When our grasping neighbors Lodge upon a piece of disputed territory they always take Root and then proceed to Turner over to the United States.
