SIR WILFRID AS HE IS

Sir \\'ill`rid and his friends cannot blame the newspap-

ers and correspondents if they recall his record of loyalty at this time. He has brought it upon himself by his recent outbreak in Parliament, and if he desires the limelight, let it show up the politician as he is, not ns his friends would like to display him.

in his recent letter to Sir Gilbert Parker, Sir Wilfrid

Laurier took occasion to assure the British nation that the people of the lfnited States are overwllelmingly on the side of the Allies. and added:

"llow can it bc otherwise when their (U10 G0l'lI1al1'S)

philosophers and writers. like Bernhardi, make it plain that Germany was the aggressor. and has been preparing to attack France for years. . . . There must he no peace until German nlilitnrism is crushed."

Thus does the Liberal leader\condemn with his own

pen his political record on defence for the past fifteen years. The German philosophers and writers who “make it plain tllat Germany was the aggressor," and that she was "preparing to attack France for years,” published their works long before the olltbreak of this war. As the l"l~inn- .\lin4istl-r of (':lna.da, and later as the leader ot' Ilia .\Iajesly's flppusitioll. Sir Wilfrid should alld mfust have been l'anlili:lr wvith them. He must have witnessed the trend of Prussian thought and policy ever since the Franco- Gernlall war.

I-‘or fifteen years he was in the confidence of the lm-

periui authorities. and Gernlany's colossal war prepara- tions were not lnlkllo\\'n to the statesmen ot' Great Britain. lt is trlle that tllere were those in Britain who sought, by the unsopllisticated clap-trap of pacifitlism, to lull the peo- ple into u false sense of security; men who thought tha-t tomorrow would be as today. But the fact that the peace- loving Liberal Governments of Asquitll and Campbell-Ban- norman imposed upon the British taxpayer an ever in- creasing burden of uavafconstructiou, is unimpeuchable- proof that the responsible statesmen of the Empire saw the inevitable storm approaching, and prepared for it.

And yet there was nothing they knew that Sir VVili`ri<l

Laurier did not know. The Admiralty Memorandum of 1912 lnnde it plain tllat Germany was aiming to destroy the su- premacy ut' Great llritain on the sea. ln the llousc of (‘onl- mons Sir \\'ili‘riil emphasized the fact that it contalined nothing which ile did not know as far back as 1909. As Sir Robert Borden pointed out the German Naval Law ot' 1900 did not expressly name the British fleet, but desig- nated it nnnlistakabl_v as that with whicll Germany propos- ed to measure her strength. It. contained these remark- able wortlsz-

war against the uliglltiest sen-power would invoke risks tllreaieniln.: the supremacy of that power. For this pur- pose it is not absolutely necessary that the German fleet should be as strong as that of the greatest sea-power, be- cause generally the greatest sea'-power will not be in a position to concentrate all its forces against us."

There is no mistaking the meaning of these words.

But even more remarkable were those used at a much lat- er date in the Reichstag by the leader of the German Na- tional Liberal party when, in 1908, he said!-

"ln our attitude towards England we must keep cool;

and until we have a strong fleet. it would be it mistake to let ourselves he drawn into a hostile attitude towards her."

lt was the knowledge of statements such as these, an

intelligent and statesmanlike appreciation and perception of German thought, tendencies anti preparations that in- spired the British people to stop at no sacrifice ill olider to mnilltain the integrity oi’ their Empire. lt was this know- ledge upon which was based tho Memorandulns submitted to Canadians by the Admiralty in 1909. and again in 1912. And yet in the light of these facts, which must, have con- vinced him that "Germany was the aggressor," that she was for years preparing to attack Britain as well as Franco, what was the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier?

ln 1907 he bluntly told the imperial Conference that

Canada was prepared to do nothing further in the way of Naval Defence-which was nothing. N

ln 1909 he told the Canadian people that in his opinion

they had not been remiss in their ,duty, refused to accept the Adnliralty's proposal that Canada establish one Fleet I'nit on the Pacific, and resolved, instead, on two sets of light cruisers. too weak to he effective. ` "

'ln 1910 he declared that th'ese cruisers must not he

available for the defence of the Empire unless an order- in»councii was passed after war had broken out, alld talked about Canadian neutrality in Empire wars. -|

in 1911 he refused to let the contracts for the few

small cruisers he had promised in 1909.

in 1912 ile scolfed at the advice ofthe British Admir-

alty. and opposed the contribution of three Dreadnoughts to the fighting forces of the Empire.

in 1913 he eulogised the Kaiser, and sneered at the

formation of s Naval Reserve.

ln 1914. he cried for a truce on party politics until

German mllitarism was crushed, expressed the pious opinion that the war was the outcome of German philoso- phy, and shed copious tears-in ink-that he ever should lmve had opinions-or sentiments to use his own expres- sions different from those he was giving utterance tot.

In 1915. Sir Wilfrid is himself again. He broke his

_political truce without a word of apology or excuse. At tacked the war budget as vlciously and as disloyally as he attacked all other pro-British and Imperial policien,n.nd nel himself up as a trouble raiser, and advertised Canada throughout the world as the one storm centre of the Em- pire. the sole dominion where the question of the cost of the war-the struggle in which we are fighting for our existence-has been raised. .

y Such la the record of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. lt is n re~

f-orld, which rlooaiolfgrddect credit.upolt`the political ln- t¢»lll;~..-.- ni ml film.. mr in the um of no events or today it is inconceivable that such a msn could hold the position of Prime Minister of the greatest and richest ol'

the Oversees Domlnlons for more than fifteen years. |

When Blr Wilfrid lrnndlloqnently tolls the linglishm

novelist, Blr Gilllert Parker--that Germsnrfllos been silt'

aggressor for years. and that there “must he no peace un- tll German mllltarisnl is crushed." he must not complain if there are those whose convictions force them to me

conclusion that in making the statement he was thinking of party, and not of State. German militarisln -will be crush-

ed. but how much easier would have been that bloody talk had not Sir Wilfrid Laurier so long maintained an attitude not undeserving of the title of treason. The student of the record of the Liberal party on naval defence can have no difllcnlty in comprehending the belief of Prussian theorists that the cords of the British Empire would snap at the slightest pressure. That German belief was based on the doctrines of Laurier and his kind. ln the shadow of a common peril Canadians would have been inclined to forget -the past had Sir Wilfrid observed his word of prom- lse. Some were temporarily deceived by his plea for n political truce but not for iong.Thcre are still some who may mistake his protests of loyalty for patriotism. but posterity will be less kind to him than his contempor- aries, 1

_ N0 TIME

“Art is long and time is fleeting" is the feeling that

dominates the mind of the youth when facing the world in the great undertaking of making a living. Art is certain- ly ,long; it takes years to acquire an edu- cation, years to learn a trade. years to muster a profes- sion; and time is fleeting. Therefore the years of prepara- t-ion must be shortened and llfe’s work must be undertaken with an little preparation as is compatible with getting into the business of money making. So concludes the aver- age youth. He hastens from school, not to learn a trade but to make money-and in very many cases to fail because of his haste. This custom, incident perhaps to all new coun- tries wllere there is a demand for work of all kinds, and where easy money is made, has persisted in Cnnalla, even beyond the period of insistent. and indiscriminate demand for labor. lt. is one of the drawbacks in Canadian life, one of the characteristics that have left their impress on Canadian lndustry to its hurt. No one today learns a. trade, except those who enter the professions, and by no` means all of these. There are still some professions whose front ldoor is always open, here or elsewhere, and entrance once secured, there or here, he is recognized as one of the fraternity, medicine and law alone excepted.

in the trades there are no exceptions. The young nlan

who can drive a nail or saw a plank is a carpenter, and de- mands a carpenters pay; the tailor, the shoemaker, the blacksmith and even the printer each makes his similarly' early cia-im upon the “seats of the mighty" in his own particular sphere.

In the pioneer days of our own province, with the cus-

toms of the Old Land still held in reverence by the early settlers, apprenticeship to trades was strictly adhered to and as a result there were workmen that “nedded not to be ashamed,” and also work in the quality of which workmen took pride. This is practiically all over. There are doubt- less many causes, one, perhaps the principal one, being the extensive use of machinery in_ the turning out of work formerly done by band. This, however, is true of only some of the trades and only to certain portions of these trades. There is still need of skill and workmanship in all trades and these can be acquired only by long apprentice- ship arid training. The fact that a man, or a youth, can stand by a machine and operate it under direction of an expert and receive a fair wage, often the wage of a skill- cd workman, is largely accountable for the fact that so few take the time tu acquire a proper knowledge of the work they set out to do. Machines are largely alike and the transition ot' an operator from one to another is generally not didicult. This offers the temptation to dissatisfied workmen to seek employment elsewhere, and when labor- ers are few their services nre usually accepted.

There is still need for the skilled worklnan, be his

calhing what it may. Indeed in every calling there is as- sured room only for the skilled and the thorough; the

4 others are “taken on"` only when there is pressing need,

..G,,mmm. must MW a met of such Strength that a‘and they are “knocked off" with little compunction when

their places can be filled by better men,

In the forward movement now in progress the prepara-

tion of young men and young women for their lif'c’s work should be strongly emphasized. Great Britain’s supremacy in commerce, in iindustry, in education, in all that has made her supreme on land and sen, is founded on efli- clency, the efficiency anti tborougllness of her educational system, of he_r__"i_n,dustrial and commercial systems which

Hdemand a sufficient apprenticeship to ensure efficiency. This must be the keynote of all-round education, and education must mean, in the broadest sense, thc fitiiing of

the young for their life's work.

TRIVIAL CAUSES

Tile present war was precipitated by the flendish act

of an irresponsible fanatic who, after the war had begun, wlu-1 put to death for his crime. llistory reveals the fact that the fiimsiest. pretexts have often been used by nations as the ostensible cause for going to war.

In 1738 a certain English Captain Jenkins lost an ear.

This he carried about in lt hox nud when he was examined at the bar in the House of Commons he flourished it dram- atically in support of his story of Spanish cruelty to Brit- ish subjects in South Seas. The report aroused great pub- lic fndiganlion and Pulteuey, wnlting in support of war, said: “We have no need of allies to enable us to command justice; the story of Jenkins will raise volunteers." War against Spain was actually declared the following year.

In 1773 the colonists of North America. were sularting

under the duties imposed on glass, paper, paints and tea- a measure which was represented as ll. cold-blooded, attempt to exploit the Colonies for the benefit of the home tax-payer. To spite the Government smuggling was indulged in to an abnormal extent and not content with this, an organized attack was madain Boston Harbour on the cargoes of the East India Company'a ships. This was the affair known as the Boston Tea Party, so- called because all the tea. on board the vessel was pitched into the harbor by n band of prominent Boslonians, who were disguised as llldian brnves. This incident was one of the direct causes of the American War of independence which began In 1775.

'Many other incidents of n trivial nature, or nt least

of a nature which would afford no Justification for the arbitramellt of the sword, and yet led to anngulnary wars might be quoted. The few mentioned above are sufficient to show the willingness with which we accept excuses for the comnliission of acts which we wish to commit.

N0'l`ES

EVERY IBLE BODIED MMI

We .advise people (says the Satur-

day Review) to pay no heed to the sed- uctive trash about Gernlany being fin- ancially exhausted ,by Midsummer Day and suing tor peace. If they want common sense and the obvious truth about the present position, they should turn to the February issue of the “Nineteenth Century,” page 286 and 276. and take to heart what Colonel Keene has to say in his article, “The Source of Germany's Might.” The ‘historian of this war, says Colonel Keene. when he comes to write of the state of things now, “will have to re- cord the fact tbst, after five months of fighting, Germany, with very little help fronl Austria. was holding up the vast armies of Russia with one hand and those of France and Great Britain with the other; that the German Eagle held the whole of Belgium in one cruel talon, while the other was plunged-.deep in the heart of Russian Poland, and that the sacred soil of the Fatherland remained practically untouched." To write this and to re- cognize tlle simple truth of it, does not call for exception- al knowledge or inspiration; in our re- view lately of the first five months of the war we pointed out this plain- and unpopular-truth in slightly dlf-- ferent terms; namely, that Germany. on land, had so far got tl) “‘a win" in Belgium; (2) a "draw" in Poland a- gainst Russia; and (3) “u draw” in Northern France against France and Great Britain. What sense in the world or what patriotism, can there con- ceivably be in refusing to face such a fact as this? it may be argued, or pro- tested, that Germany studlously over- looks our successes at sen, and why therefore should we not overlook her successes on land! That is an argu- ment tbat may be flt for "incorrigible optimists” or perhaps for extremely loyal party papers anxious to show that the Cabinet is compact of statesmen wllo, one and all, know how to win the war as well as they know how to win a bye-election. But it is not an argument of good to anybody else; and from n national point of view it is contenlptibie. Until the in- corrigibly optimists Government Press gives up evening after evening killing the Kaiser with its nlouth, and faces the trtle and very patent facts of the war today, its public will be continual- ly buoylng itself up with vain hopes and silly vaunts.

The Kaiser must be killed not with

the lnouth or the pen bllt with the rifle and the sword, and the only way this can be done is to work up and bring to bear against Germany thewbole vast resources of the country. Colonel Keene does not, openly, recommend putting the nation into arms by an Act of Parliament: we think we are right ill saying that his position and work at the moment would not justify him in taking and "controversial" part of the kind-though we know very well, we fancy, ills private views in the matter. But though he does not ask for obligatory service, he shows in his article how Germany has managed to put together the magnifi- cent Army with which she now holds at bay three great Empires, and at the same time props up Austria. Her -feat has been achieved by only one lneans. and to crush her it is necess- ary for all three ofthe chief' Allies to adopt the smile process themselves. France and ltussia have ofcourse done so.” Great Britain alone hesitates.

"According to the Estimate passed

by the House of Commons ell the 16th of November lust," writes Colonel Keene. "the services of every able- bodied man of suitable age will be re- quired before tlle war is over." These words have been described by n critic “ns »alarlning," if only they will alarm the slow understanding of the professional opti- mists and voluntarists into recogniz- ing t`he truth about Germany's power of resistence they will work untold good. Colonel Keene is, in his position. surely very unlikely to write anything today which will prove inacceptable to the best expert opinion. Therefore let the light-hearted and irresponsible optinlists lay to heart his grave warn- illg- "Every able-bodied man of suit- able age." Nothing more impressive and responsible has been written on the subject since the discussion be- ban.

lu the same issue it happens that an-

other writer-by no lneans unknown to readers of the Saturday Review- Colonel Cregan, follows Colonel Keene and declares openly for obligatory service. Colonel Cregan is a very clear and logical writer, who-unlike many experts ln fact alld figure- has a literary form and distinction which make him good to read. He disposes with good-hunlorcd ease ot' the terribly

Colonel Cregan pleads for a mid- dle course, which ill peace time we should fur prefer. Ile riddles the fool- ish, vapid talk of “free men." ‘con- scrlpt”; declares firmly that we fell into this war unprepared; and mis- judged Germany’s power as well 38 her intentions. But, as things stand now, he says he thinks the Saturday Review plan is too drastic; and sug- gesgs -instead-that universal milit- ary training should nt once be made obligatory, but that. service abroad should be left as a voluntary service. Moreover. he would have the Govern- ment call up at first only a proportion of the suitable men. say a million; and trust to a. sufficient number of these offering for foreign service - which it is confident they would do. The remaining millions of men of suit- able age would go on with the ordinary trade and business of the country un- til or unless they were needed.

Colonel Cregan considers this plan

less drastic than the Saturday Re- vlow’s, which, he fears, the country would still shy at. But surely he has overlooked the fact that the Saturday Review plan, even lnore gradually than by his own, the neu would only hc called up and chosen by ballot as the authorities could train, arm anti clothe them; and those not chosen by ballot would go on with their or- dinary work.

Moreover, would the men brought

in by Colonel Cregan's plan volunteer for service abroad much more freely and continuously, than they volunteer now? lt would be fu- ritating and perhaps even fatal. if his plan were adopted and then found useless, so that a fresh plan had to be proposed ill its place. Undoubtedly Colonel Cregan‘s plan would appeal more to the present Gov- ernment than the more thorough plan we have ourselves advanced. The Government would welcome a middle way.Prohably they will choose to stay in some such half-way house when thc moment comes for a general obliga- tion to be declared. But\ Colonel (‘re- gan does not persuade us to abandon ollr first thoughts on national service. There can be no real distinction be- tween homo and foreign service 'wllen the obligation of every able-bodied man is proclaimed. Home defence at this crisis of the nation’s fate really means foreign service; and it is that we should seculp infallibly and at once if we are to carry out the im- mense design of tho Prime Minister. Why cannot our statesulen pluck up heart; ceaso quibbling and fiddling and`paltering with the matter; and take a straight, clean course to cer- tain victory?

CANADIANS HA_,\_/ml;

SHOWN THEIR METAL.

LONDON, March 18.-Secretary for

War, Earl Kitchener, gave a brief re- view of the war situation in tile house of lords Monday evening.

He said that oilly trench fighting

had been possible for many weeks. but this had not affected the morale of the British troops. Recent occurrences in the fighting around Neuve Chap- pelle and Epiuette showed how nuc- cessfully the British troops had been able to take the offensive.

The Minister bt' War referred to the

gnllantry shown by the soldiers of lil- tlla, and he spoke eulogistically of the French army, which, he said, had made important progress at various points along the line, especially in Champagne. where the soldiers of the republic had given evidence of mark- ed tenacity.

The situation in the Dardanelles

was well in build, the speaker decl r- 'ed, but he was unable to say mire than had appeared in the press.

Progress in the work ot' 'equipping

llrltn.in's new armies had been seri- ously lmpaired by failure to get suf- ficient labor and the necessary factory facilities.

“The supply' of war material is now

and for the next month or two, will be a very serious consideration." he said. “lt is causing me very serious anxiety. It is absolutely essential that _tho output of ammunition be increased. To do so is of the utmost importance to the operations ill the field."

Continuing along this subject, Earl

Kitchener urged firms in certain lines to place their spare labor and machin- ery at the disposal of the Government. He said that he considered that men engaged in the supplying of nlllni- tions were serving their country as much as the mcn in the field, and that ll. medal would be issued to the work- ers on munitions of war on the suc- cessful termination of hostilities.

Tile health of the British troops was

remarkably good, was another declara- tion made by the war secretary, nd n striking testimony to the value of the inocculatlou.

seriously hampered the progress of recruiting.
