DAILY EDITION

MISTRESS OF THE SEA;
MASTER OF THE AIR.

Our readers read in the Daily

 

News of yesterday in a despatch
from Berlin to the effect that
the Kaiser was about to spend
a large amount of the people's

money in the construction of
an immense air fleet, not in
any way to stimulate the de-

velopment ofgGerman industry
but merely as a machine to
destroy her supposed enemies.
Jean Paul Richter, the ineom-
parable German satirist, once
said: “Providence has given
to France dominion over the
land, to Britain dominion ove!
the sea, and to Germany—over
the air.” As at the time he
wrote dirigibles and heavier
than air machines un-
known, it is possible that Jean
Paul was poking fun at his
countrymen, or perhaps he was
making allusion to their
predilection, for metaphysics.

Today it would appear as if
the words, written in jest, have
become literally true. Man's
conquest of the air, if not yet
complete, at least near at
hand, and with its coming
government is beginning to vie
with government, state with
state, each to outstrip the other
in the size and battering abil-
ity of their aerial fleets. It is
a melancholy fact that the first
thought that occurs when man

were

a sly

is

has effected a new triumph
over nature is how it can be
employed for the purposes of

warfare and ‘destruction of life
and humanity; that we should

eagerly grasp at the oppor-
tunities which flying affords
for slaughter, bloodshed and

all the horrid acts of war is to
its shame and dishonor.

BORDEN’S A SCHEME
OF CENTRALIZATION.

Immediately Mr. Winston
Churchill announced that the
proposed Dominion contribu-

tions were to be stationed at
Gibraltar and would make peri-
odical trips around the world,

the Conservatives at Ottawa
declared that an emergency
now confronted “the empire.”
Formerly, we remember, the
menace faced old England.
Germany was about to swoop

across the North Sea upon the
shores of the tight little isle

and we must send three ships
to save the situation. Eng-
| land was in danger, we were
told in agonized accents, and
the daughter nations must fly
her assistance.
Now, it is not England that
in danger but the empire.
Just where our friends do not
say. They cannot, because Mr.
Churchill has given them no
clue. It cannot be on the Pa-
cific because the proposed ships
are to form a new squadron to
be based twenty-three days’
sail away. It is not the North
Sea because the contributed
ships are not to be stationed
there. Is not the proposal an-
other manoeuver in the scheme
of centralization whieh Can-
adian statesmen of both parties
have resisted for many years?
What we want and what we
must insist upon that
should develop our own naval
organization as Australia is do-
ing and as New Zealand wil! do
in the next few Aus-
tralia triéd the other plan for
years, but, as Mr. Borden said,
found it ineffective and = un-
satisfactory. Be sure we have

the Vietoria Times? France has
a number on an imposing site in
Paris and on two, dedicated to
Strasburg and Metz, evergreen
decorations are constantly hune
to remind Frenchmen of an old
account that some day must be
squared, Why should a column
not be erected in Toronto by our
ultra ~ imperialistic friends to
eoramemorate an emergency
which, though distressingly puny,

did the best it could for them
while it lived?
The home of the emergency

was said to be Germany and its
recreation ground was the North
Sea. We were told that Old Eng-
land's life was at stake; that she
was doomed unless Canada con-
tributed three ships to save her
shores from the Kaiser's squad-
rons. In this city our confem-
porary depicted the emergency in
fearful colors and the inference

that was conveyed on all sides
was that Britain was gasping for
breath.

Even British statesmen, who
did not know there was an emerg-
ency, became frightened after
reading the jeremiads in the
Canadian press. And now Mr.
Churchill calmly says’ Britain's
navy is amply superior to that
of Germany, that the Old Country

can keep in the game longer than
any power in Europe, and
the shfps contributed by the do-
minions are to be stationed at
Gibraltar.

Are we to behold the birth of

another emergency, this time in
the Mediterranean or off the
African. coast, Mr. Churchill

says there is none there, and that
there are no pressing naval
velopments in the classic
Already Britain has an immense
superiority in those waters. What
is the meaning of this campaign
to which Mr. Borden unhappily
has lent himself?

We can suggast an emergency

have one, It is not in Europe the
first lord proves, It

EMIGRANTS MAKING
FOR EMPIRE POINTS

Official Figures Show That in
Britain Canada Has a Decided
Preference.

London, April 6.—The annual
report of the immigrants’ infor
mation office states that 28,156
letters were received in 1912, a
decrease of 6.9 per cent Kn
quiries relating to the United

States decreased by 14.8 per cent

‘
and were only 4.4 per cent, of the

total number of enquiries re
ceived, There was a net move
ment from-+the United Kingdom

for places out of Europe of 268

186 passengers of British origin
in 1912, as compared with 264,

809 in 1914. The net movements
to the various countries were as
follows:

1912 {ott
GanOGh sive. 133,531 134,765
Australia ..... 68,688 56,337
New Zealand... 414,054 9,432
United States... 45,847 49,732
South Africa... 4,233 7,527
There is an increasing tend-

ency, the report says, on the part
of British immigrants to proceed
to other parts of the Empire
rather than to foreign countries.

One of the horses engaged on

merry chase before it was cap-
tured and put back on the job
again. Whether it went out in

or wanting the usual 45 cents per

Zealand has finished with con-
tributions and her’ minister of
defence, Colonel Allen, has stated
in London’ that local organiza-
tions afford the only practical so-
lution of the naval defence prob-
lem. Should not Canada
adopt that policy? Are we to be
content to have our ship stationed
at Gibraltar, twenty-three
sail away? Events have justified
the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
on this question, He has pointed
the road Canada should fol-
low. We jom with Aus-
itralia and Zealand to meet
