state of greater than
ever before in ber history; she
is building more warships than
Germany, and paying for them
out of current revenue, while
Germany is loading herself
with debt to build ships out of
borrowed money. Great Britain
has done this for the past
seven years, and at the same
time has wiped 8375,000,000
from her national debt, Dur-
ing thé same seven years Ger-
many has added 400,000,000
to her national debt. Great
Britain has held her naval lead
and at the same time has
ended each year with her ac-
counts for the year over $100,-

many.

cruits would not be available.

Even if this were true, it would

not be a valid objection to
Canada manning and main-
taining the ships which it is
propesed te build for the Bri-
tish navy. If we cannot sup-
ply the recruits we can pay
the expense of maintenance.
Unless we do that we shall
place an additional burden on
the shoulders of the British
taxpayers, a burden greater
than our gift.

But all this is for the pre-
sent only. Canada must at
once begin to provide for the

future. We must

ships, but to

get ready nol

and maintain
build them. At
present our building must be
done in the United Kingdom,
but this cannot last. Canada
has the ports, Canada has the
and nickel, Canada has
energy and enterprise ne-
to build” ships of all
kinds and for all purposes.

Borrowing money from En-
gland to build ships to lend to
England can never be a per-
manent policy. It has no capa-
city for growth, as Mr. Foster
once eloquently pointed out.
If repeated, it will cause wear-
iness and disgust.

But if a gift is to be made,
let it be a real gift, and not a
new burden laid upon the tax-
payers of the United Kingdom.
