Nr.

He referred . to obstruction tactics of the Opposition in the House, and explained how «chis obstruction had . been effected. _ He ridiculed the bogey of annexation. and deplored the lack of spirit and _ conâ€" fidence in those who thought _ Canaâ€" dians bad not as mich brains _ and business acumen as Ameticans, â€" and were not just as ‘capable ol looking alter their interests as out neighbots to the South. Canada‘s climate ‘enâ€" abled her to grow _ produce . and raise live stock of, better quality and Canadian farmers were second to none in scientific methods," Mr. King made it clear that reciprocity in the presâ€" ent instance meant reciprocity in natâ€" ural product:" and that there was no change in the farifi~ in regard to manufactured goods except in « the case of agricultural implements, and ohe or two other vety small changes. Manufacturers had nothing . to ©fear, but on the contrary would gain with tho farmer in the increased prosperâ€" ityâ€" which would come with . larger markets.

T Mr. King next dealt with ML. DOLâ€" den‘s argument‘ that Canada . was sacrificing ~ her fiscal policy. The agreement â€"wasnot a {reaty, Canada was not binding herseif for any term of years. _ We could put it through andâ€"if a week aftes \we wanted to change it, . we ;could do 80. Be thought, howover, Canada would find it so profitable we would not . waant o change it, Passing. to the question of _ naval celence, Mr. King compared the reâ€" . spective altitudes of. Sir Wiltrid Lautier ‘and Mr. Borden. The Libâ€" ; ctals position, he maintained, on t these two great questionsof diml_l and naval policy were absolutely imâ€" pregnable. ‘It would be of WMtcrest for ° the clectors of the riding to know | what was Mr. Borden‘s attitude toâ€" ward naval defence. He alluded . to the talk of war between England ml Germany which some of the jingoes had tried to raite, and quoted lrom‘ the preliminary debate to show â€" how Mr. â€"Bordon viewed the matter. Mr. Bord‘fn‘a words spoke for themselves; They ‘were ‘to be found in the records of the patliamentary debates oi Janâ€" Iunry 12, 1910, as follows: "My right hon, friend may â€" <ay: These statements were malle . cight gf nine months ago, and although it may have seemed to the _ memâ€" bers of the British government, the Prime Minister, â€" ‘ to the Secretary for Forcign Affairs, and . to the First Lord of the Admiralty .: the crisis was imminens; #; that time, yet the right hon.gentleman may say: Since then it has passed . away and there is no need . to take furthes . care. These statements pointed to a crisis and an omergâ€" ency and a peril which might. face the British Empire within â€"+wo of three years at the outside. Has that peril passed away? . No Sit, we are nearer to it by ncarly a year. Has Germany‘s policy â€" been modified in the meantime? No, on the contrary (Fermany has #ince put ferward the groatest navai budget in her history, 443,000,000 _ marks (8105,134.000).”.000 of which are to be devote®i » t construction And on Feb. 3. orde=. ~ moved .n amendment to / rovious â€" reso« ution, in which hersaid , o ‘‘The immiediate ty of Canada and the impendinig l&ev:v.isltiu of| the empire can best the discharged and met by placing withort delay at. the disposal â€"of the T | ~auâ€" Ahorities as a free and 1.\ .‘ ~ tonâ€" tribution from the people of â€" Canâ€" _ada, such an amount as miy be suffic‘ent to purchase or . construct two battieships ag. armoured crutsâ€" ers of the latest w.tm. giving to ‘the admiralty full discteâ€" tion l:“anu':.- said sum at such . time for of naval â€" defence as in M’m‘ may w to increase the . united i ol the empire and â€" thus are to he GCvO and nmament: Use Subterfuges Fiscal Policy Naval Defence lealt with Mr. Borâ€" iat â€" Canada was secal noliev."â€" Thc MR CoONBLRVATIVE FARMER MR Awmt:â€" Reciprocirty Farnnmeg® there ‘ to y _ thing Were we _~ Spain, Vene:uela? 15 TAAT MA FaRMER ‘Mr. King ‘then as_ed were the ‘ peoâ€" ; ple: of" the country ‘fint to MI":" 3. prfoimcicn thho a" Soattion . of precipitated into & > fright such zs 3{.
