They see no room for debate. They would like the country to think that the Conservative party at Ot- tawa had discovered the one and only proper course for Canada to pursue. But they are mistaken. Canada faces a crisis, and we trust every Can- adian will be given an oppor- tunity to express his feelings on the subject, says the non- political Canadian Collier's. We have long been in doubt whether sufficient interest could be roused in the question of Empire defence to justify an election, but the interest the country seems to have taken in the deadlock which ex- ists at the time of writing shows that they are indeed ready and will vote earnestly and with much thought.

Work on the 219 East 23rd St., for the hurried policy of the Hon. R. L. Borden, but, on the contrary, the country should be allowed to choose between that and a real policy of a Can- adian built navy. The Laurier made a government big mistake when it did not propose a big Canadian naval program a few years ago Undoubtedly Sir Wilfrid was influenced in choosing that policy by his belief that the whole question of Empire de- fence was prematurely brought up, and that the best he could do would be to obtain a smal! navy which would provide tem- porary satisfaction for the jingoes. He was mistaken The jingoes were not satisfied and the way was left open for the Conservatives to bring in their present policy. The Liberals have been forced now to bring forth a real naval policy, and we think, despite their earlier mistake, it is the true Canadian policy We hope and trust that the Liberals will succeed in fore-| ing the government to. the} eountry, not so much because we think the country likely t support the Liberal proposals, but because the Canadian voter will have the first chance he has had in many decide on a real matter of prin- ciple. Reciprocity was not de- cided on its merits. The people of Canada were deliberately stampeded by a flag flapping or confused by the juggling of years to statistics and economic argu- ments. In this question of contribution or a Canadian navy the issue is clear.
