DAILY EDITION SCOTCHING THE WHEELS OF DEVELOPMENT. The great sensation by Mr. Borden on the opposi- tion was Mr. Churehill’s opin- sprung ion that Canada cannot build battleships of a certain type, and incidentally that Canada had better not go into the busi- ness at all, says the Toronto Star. The limitation of Canada’s power build Ships is a matter of detail. In the ordinary course of develop- ment of this industry, of any industry, we should make a modest beginning, building what we can and supplement- ing our own work by the work of British shipyards As time went on, and our industry de- veloped, we should do more and more ourselves, and depend on others less and less. In this respect we should be following the regular course of precise to as human life, from childhood to manhood, and the regular course of industrial develop- ment in Canada. We began with lumbering, fishing and farming. From cutting down the tree we went on to making various kinds of lumber, and then to the manufacture of furniture and the woodwork of pianos. The Canadian now thinks he can make a pretty good piano. Suppose that in the earlier stages of the de- velopment of woodworking in- dustries we had been told “You must not try to do any- thing more than cut down trees and make them into logs, for it is ridiculous to suppose that you could make such pi- anos and tables as are made in England.” Today we see that such advice would have been not only discouraging, but ri- diculous. We progressed from stage to stage, until now we believe that we can do anything with wood that can be done in the world, or at least that we are on the way to that position. So with all our industries. We admit that we have much to learn. But we do not admit that there is anything that we cannot do, or hope to do, in the way of industrial develop- ment. It will be exactly the same with the development of our navy and our shipbuilding in- dustry. We do not expect to be able to do everything at once. We do expect to develop a navy as we have developed other things in Canada. We do not admit that there is any- thing that cannot be done in Canada eventually, and as the result of evolution and develop- ment. And we want to begin, OuT HERE Thursday, March 27, 1913. and will listen to anyone who triés to discourage us. Just as we are told today that we cannot build battleships, we were told seventy years ago that we could not manage ou own local affairs. Attempts were made to discourage us and overawe us. We were told | | \ sO that things were managed much better in England. So they were, in some respects. But the point that your worthy advisers overlooked was that you will never do anything un- less you begin. What you do for yourself, rude and imper- fect though it may be, is bet- ter for you than what is done for you by somebody else. Your clumsy efforts at swimming are better than dependence on any kind of life belt. It is in this spirit that Canada must tackle the question of naval defence. DR. ELIOT DECLINES Will Not Serve as United States Ambassador to Britain. Cambridge, Mass., March 24.— Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, said last night that it was true that he had declined the post of ambassador to Great Britain. While he could give no reason for declining, he said it was not on account of his age, the condi- tion of his health or financial considerations. Dr. Eliot's letter regretting his inability to serve was sent to President Wilson two days ago. ae TRICKS OF SUFFRAGETTES Crawied from Beneath Platform on Which Lord Beauchamp Was Speaking.

THE STATECRAFT OF SIR RICHARD M'BRIDE “Some Methods of a Demagogue” | Described in Canadian Collier's. it Richard MeBride who introduced a strongly san administration. At the invi- tation of Sir Henry Joly de Lot- biniere, McBride on June 1, 1903, having already the Dunsmuir ministry from 1900 to was air parti- served in 1902, formed a government, tak- ing into his cabinet only Con- servatives. Thus, party ment was introduced into British Columbia; almost at the credit of the province appeared to improve. Money became easier. Men of capital and terprise flocked to Vancouver and Victoria. Since that date the province has prospered in a cer- tain sort of way. The people of British Columbia have paid their debt to McBride over and over again, and year in and year out, he sits, smiling, upon their shoulders, like the old man of the sea sat on Sindbad's shoulders. He holds his position, first, by means of the most perfect political ma- chine in the Dominion, if, indeed, it does not rival the famous American Tammany Hall organ- ization; second, by taking up popular cries such as “British| Columbia is a white man’s prov-| ince!” “Better terms for British Columbia!’ and “More railways for the Pacific province,” and fin- ally by the careful culling out of ali promising Liberal leaders, either by giving them comfort- able government appointments, where they are effectually lenced, or by other means less di- rect. Men will tell you: “We don't like the McBride govern- ment, but what sort of men are there on the Liberal side to vole govern- once en- Sl. for?” And you cannot alway answer satisfactorily. Also, Me- Bride's political slogans count for much, because the old “na- tive son” element in the province is very strong; it accounts for a certain “snobbish” attitude on the part of British Co.umbia to- still, ward outsiders, a sort of insular sufficiency and selfishness which makes any demagogue who will ery “Out with the “More railways,” etc., a political hero. Anyone who suggests moderation or caution in regard to these particular matters liable to be hissed down by unthinking element, which always preponderates in election meetings in any part of Canada. Perhaps this is another reason why better men offer to run in opposition to the McBride candidates.
