In his frantic efforts to obé tain some favorable considera- tion for his naval proposal Premier Borden is now “telling the pecple of Canada that “if the contracts are let with the utmost despatch for the con- struction of three battleships they will not be ready to be placed in commission before the next general election. In ease it should then be the will HAVE YOU REGISTERED? Every qualified person who wishes to vote at the next Provincial or Dominion elec- tion must register anew.

MeLean —- of the Canadian people to re- eall these ships and make them part of a proposed Canadian naval service, it will be per- fectly feasible to follow that course.” This is the most pathetic ap- peal which has yet been made by that weak and harrassed minister. Make them part of a proposed Canadian naval! service which Mr. Borden him- self assured Parliament could not be built up in any effective manner within a quarter or perhaps half a century! Could any representation on the part of the Canadian Premier dem- onstrate more forcibly the ex- tremity to which he has been reduced in his endeavor to recommend his program to Parliament and to the people. The successive stages which have marked the government's presentation of this measure would offer an excellent sub- ject to a comic dramatist. Parliament and the people were first assured that an emerg- enecy made an immediate con- tribution by Canada to the Im- perial navy absolutely neces- sary. But they were impressed with the fixed resolution on the part of Premier Borden and his Monday, March 31, 1913 colleagues to present, at a later period, a permanent pol- icy, involving the construction of a Canadian navy. When the theory of an emergency was exploded and there was no longer any argu- ment on which to base a pro- gram of contribution, Mr. Bor- den took the ground that Can- ada could not construct a navy and that if assistance was to be given to Imperial navy de- fence it must take the form of tribute to the admiralty, that splendid organization which the empire already pos- sesses.” To bolster up this new arguemnt, which meant the abandonment of his per- manent policy, he secured a memorandum from Mr. Win- ston Churchil!, who had been instrumental in framing his original proposal for him. Be- tween them they were at great pains to convince the pepole of Canada that a Canadian navy was an impossibility within half a century at least. And having made the gov- ernment’s position in this point perfectly clear Mr. Borden now. frightened apparently at the hostile feeling in the country. again shifts his posifion and tells us that if the pablic wi! support him in offering this contribution to the admiralty he will so arrange matters that we can reciaim the _ three dreadnoughts and include then in our own navy should we de- cide to establish one for our- selves—that in the navy which cannot, as he told us be- fore, be constructed within half a century. a is NEW REGULATIONS AT EXPENSE OF CANNERS. If, as is alleged, the new fish- eries regulations affecting the salmon canning industry in the Skeena district are intended to benefit the cold storage enter- prises at the expense of the canners, Mr. Bowser's legisia- tion, which he induced the Do- minion government to adopt, is apt to be almost as disas- trous to the true interests of the province as the general policy pursued by the MeBride government. We shall all agree that where it is possible to do so, without injury to legitimate investments, made in good faith im British Co- lumbia, consideration should be shown to white workmen. This province should unques- tionably be kept for the white people and as far as possible for the people of the Anglo- Saxon race.
