Q "glpon Sn Robert Borden and his govern

W lf “Certain partym newspapers are showing mbre zealand energy in their efforts to dis- credit their political opponents than in aid- ing to consolidate public opinion in favor of Canada’s vigorous prosecution of the war. The Toronto Globe,‘for instance, makes a labored effort to prove that Sir Robert Borden, by countenancing the alleged al liance between the Tories and Quebec Na- tionalists in the campaign of 1911, created the conditions which have produced anti- conscriptionistc agitation in Quebec, “Sir .Robert Borden is responsible for the Que- 'bee problem,” saya,ptli€Globe. -“It is his du-

ty _to_try to find ya way out and to preserve: theiiiiiity of t`Fie"coi1ii`t'r`y.” l ` ` ~

“The Herald is not concerned with the

sordid and petty bickerings of the political pairtisans, their charges and recriniina- tioiis.- But every honest and patriotic ci- tizen has a right to protest against the at- tempts that are being shamelessly made to utilize 'the present troubled conditions in this country for party gain. The attempt to which we have alluded is so discreditable that it deserves special condemnation.

“In 1911 and long before then Bouras-

sa and his Nationalist supporters actively agitated against any policy which 'would coniinit Canada to participation in Impe- irial wars. 'l`licy were opposed to the Lau- rier naval policy, and they were just as much opposed._to, the l_i_oi'den-naval policy. The reason why they concentrated their attack upon the Laurier- naval policy in 'lil ll was because the Laurier.Government \\ is thtn in iovi er and in a position to give

veriimciit. The point is that Nationalist riiiti-I-in-perial sentiment and agitation. were existent and active before 1911 and were not created by the alleged 'l`ory-Na- tionalist alliance in Quebec. No matter what had happened in 1911, Quebec anti- lniperial sentiment would now be finding expression in anti-conseription agitation. The :itteinpt to make Sir Robert Borden responsible for the agitation is childish and conteniptible.

"But suppose he were “responsible for

the Quebec problem,” and that “it is his duty to ti'y to find away out and preserve the unity of the couiitry;" would other Ca~ iiadian statcsincn. his political opponents, he theref`orc absolved from the duty of aid- ing him to solve the problem and preserve the unitv ol" the countrv‘.’ Should it be said

l L

only to hold aloof and iefiise to give him

of his patriotic duty?

Surely it cannot be denied that Sir Ro-

be__rt Bortlen made an honest attempt to preserve national unity when he invited

cabinet. Surely he showed a conciliatory

ment should-not be enforced until after the coalition Government had gone to the country and obtained a mandate from the

“Were not these honest attempts to

;solve the Quebec problem and to “preserve the unity of the coiiiitry?” We think most reasonable pei'sons~wil-l agree that they lwere. And it was not the prime minlster's fault that the attempts failed."

“That we may be a safeguard unto our

most gracious Sovereign Lord King.George and his doniiiiioiis and a security for such ‘as pass on the seas on their lawful occa- sions.” - `

This is part of the prayer read every

morning on board of every warship in the British Navy. the prayer that has been read before the day`s work for over a cen- ,tury, the name of the sovereign only being lchanged. This is the ideal set before the British sailor-to be a safeguard not only -to his King and Empire but a security to the people of all nations as they traverse the seas on lawful business. And the ideal ,has become part and parcel of the Navy. Not for piracy or conquest, not for the Ger- nianized idea of the "Freedom of the scas”i for themselves, but absolute freedom and security for all nations. And ever' since that prayer was first offered the British Navy has stood for these ideals, has stood as a providence over the commerce of the world, a safeguard to the dominions not of Britain alone but of all nations. “The ‘Freedom of the Seas”! How the expres- sion has been travestiedfby Germany! How. ,she longed and whined for the' “freedom of the seas”! -And what freedom? That Ger- many might be free to dominate the seas as she tried to ,dominate the world. God help the world if Germany should hold the “freedon1_o`f the seas” in ber own hand. The seas are freetoday because the British na- vy has made itfree and keeps it free,1be-

there is a British ship to protect hor, be- causefwherevcr a pirate ship shows her head there is a British 'gun to smash it. What it cost Britain to keep the seas free *is known only to the angels.
