Canada’s Naval Program

There can be no doubt that Hon. R.L. Borden and his ministers
realize the importance to Canada and the Empire of a solution of
the naval problem as it affects the people of the Dominion. During
the closing days of the session, the premier and the minister of
marine outlined the government's idea regarding. the creation of a
Canadian navy, The naval services are to be continued on as at
present until the government embarks on a policy not only of pro-
tecting the Canadian coasts and shipping, but also of helping in the
defence of the Empire. This latter contribution, Minister Hazen
said, must be made on grounds fair to Canada as a self-respecting
part of the empire. ‘There could not’be one navy for each different
part of the Empire. To be effective it must be under an individual
control. All parts of the Empire must be on a par if one part was
attacked. . ; ,

Premier Borden said that when the present government goes
to Iingland it will tell the Admiralty that it did not believe that the
Laurier poli¢y would benefit either Canada or the Empire: secondly,
that the people of Canada thought so, too; thirdly, that it was ready
to discuss the details of a policy which it would afterward submit
fe Parliament and the people. “We will think about it first and
formulate our program afterward,”’ he said.

Mr. Borden observed that if the Dominion entered into any
system of naval defence it would be one which would serve the
whole Empire better than any they had had in the past years,
Very great problems were involved and the arrangement for a few
cruisers would not settle them. Before this government entered
into any engagement they would consider the matter to its root,
The policy ultimately decided upon would be presented to Parlia-
ment and the people would he given an opportunity to consider it.

The London Standurd, commenting on the report of the naval
intention of the Borden ministry says:.

“Our kinsmen in Canada can searcely’ miss greatness. How-

"ever her destiny is shaped within or without the British Empire,
she is assured of a prosperous, dignified future, but,as the majestic
central arch of the worldwide British Empire, Canada can, achieve
a more aplendid destiny than is open to: her in any other direction.

-It says much, not only for the loyalty, but for the clear-eyed politi-
eal sagacity of her sons that they above.all are anxious to strengthen
in every way imperial connection. Though the burden of develop-
ing a vast territory is by no means light, Canada is eager to add
to her other responsibilities a just and even generous share of ex-
pense of imperial defence, but she is properly regardful of her
position as a self-yoverning nation and sensitive as to. any sugges-
tion’ of the slightest infringement of her absolute autonomy, When
Mr. Borden ‘and his ministers come to London next month:they will
place before the home -government .proposals t@ constitute « an im-’
perial board of admiralty thaivhich self-governing st: 23 will be,
adequately represented. The justice of the demand can hardly be
resisted. . Unquestionably the adoption of the principle would be
to our advantage no less'than that of the dominions. It: may -be
confidently hoped that we are’on the eve of solving 4 A problem,
which, bat for patriotism of oversea natigns, might loreshave* con-
tinued to perplex our statesmen, The burden’ of, imperial. ‘defenck
is growing too heavy for.our small island, but’ the abounding re-
sources of Anglo-Saxondom at ‘large can be brought to bear without
jealousy or waste of strength on the common: ‘object The British
Empire will present an. impregnable, front to the world.”*.

Western members contend that
this condition of affairs is directly

_| traceable to the more liberal laws

governing the ‘disposal of thé,
public domain in the Dominion:
While the population of the north-
west is decreasing, or failing to
increase, the population of Cana-
da is increasing at the rate of
1000 a day. Canada is drawing

population and the farming re-
gions of the border States are
yearly losing thousands of citi-
zens, who are attracted to the
provinces by lands given in
patent to settlers at low prices
and on terms that are favorable
otherwise. ,
