Following is an extract froln ll let-
ter received by Principal Seaman of
Prince Street School l`rom his son.
Mr. A. W._ Scanlan, M.A.. Principal
of Argyle School, Moliireni. Mr. Sea-
man has lived in M'ontreal for the
past four and n ilnlf years and is ill
n, position to know the situation ill
the province oi' Quebec. wlliell lu-
tloscribes most interestingly:
in its relation to the political sitti-
ation of Camilla as it whole _thg posi-
tion of this province assilincs a posi-
t_lon of the very highest inlport:lilcc_ il
position fraught with the possillillties
gf grnvest danger, yet constitutes a
problem which is capable oi' n very
:-impl.~ limi safe soilltioll.
'i`o begin witll the clenicnt.< of smal-
lcr significance, we have ill thc pro~
viilcc. and especially in the city ot'
Jloiitreal. a very large i`ol-cign ele~
mont wllich while- prot`n\lmil_\' igllor-
ant is either distinctly pro-(lcrtnliil or
entirely npatilctic. 'Pills cienlent. is of
Qpurse utterly opposed to t‘onscrip-
tion and will, to the c_\'tent of its vot-
ing power. support aliy party which

These two groups arc small ilow-
ever ill comparison to the groit bulk
oi the l~`relicl|-i‘alludiilli popllilttioll,
which is now practically nlntnimous
in its support. oi` l.auric_r's policy. it
is important to rr-nleinber, til-st and
last, that this poplation is ilot in any
sense pro-Germall or oven anti-iirit
ish. They are simply Canadian. (‘an-
adian only, and. t'roln tha- narrow vis-
ion of the ilneducated and provincial
mind. entirely unable to see the sig
niilcanco of the Great W-ar ill it-.4 re-
lation to the very Cilliatlllllt Nation to
which they are so loyal. I)elllagogues
such .ns liourassu. Martin. ami Laver-
gne (tho last. now tliscrcllitcd even
among his own followers) have ap-
preciated this feeling and from the
outset ot their careers have matic use
of it; while many ol` higller cilaractl-~
and patriotic purpose have not scrup-
led to avail tilf-nlselvc'-s oi' this nscfu

'i‘ho poin'i l ani trying to lnakc
'-leur is that the great Fr0llcll-(`alm<l-
ian population is esselitilllly loyal and
~llw-ahillilii: and that inthe case ol' lt
l`nlonlst vil~ior_\' would inlnlciliately
settle down and carry out p.~.xcct`nll_\'
