Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Mr. Chamberlain's Proposals 13 Mowat thinks should influence Canadians at the present time in political questions. Canada should show her independence by taking her share of the expense of Imperial defence, Canadian newspapers should cease to derive their English and foreign news from American press agencies, and finally Canadians should have their eyes open to the avowed expectation of many statesmen in the United States that Canada will before long be incorporated in the Union. A good illustration of the kind of talk that is common in the United States on this subject is met with in an article by Mr. F. B. Tracy.f He admits the present disinclination of Canadians to annexation, but asserts that this disinclination will be overcome, for " Canada cannot continue to be half-free, half-slave; half-nation and half-subject colony." Then follows the usual assertion that it is Canada's "destiny" to be absorbed in the Republic. Sir Frederick YoungJ is a representative of an earlier school of Imperialists, which had no means of unification of the Empire to suggest except the impracticable one of representation of the colonies in the Imperial Parliament, or in an Imperial Council of somewhat vague authority, while the strong practical sense of Mr. Chamberlain has led him to fasten upon the creation of common trade interests as the first step and the readiest means of unification. It is Imperial unity, however, not commercial benefits at which he aims, as his speeches clearly indicate. In Canada comments are freely made upon the narrowness of view of those English writers and speakers who judge the whole scheme solely by its commercial advantage or disadvantage to Great Britain. The criticism is just, but it applies with equal force to those Canadians who see merit in the proposal on...<
