Mr.. Fitzgerald called attention to Col
Jervis' report OF Canadian defenses. he

ly. spirit of hostility towards England.
We should not disregard certain pro-
posal during the conference between the
Confederates and Federals. 1t was i'm
portant to look to Canadian defenses in
the event of war, and we ought to come
to an immediate understanding with
Canada as TO the prop ortion England
should bear of the cost of its means OF
defense.
Forster believed that fear of hostilities
was unreasonable and utterly ground
less, and protested against expense for
defense of Canada.
Mr.. Caldwell assured the House that
our relations with America continued
perfectly friendly, but the government
was prepared to defend Canada.
Disraelli thought Canada should be
properly defended. Some said the most
effectual course in the event of Canada
becoming battle ground would be to
concentrate a force upon some other
point.
MIR. Walker said to prevent war, En-
gland should declare Canada part of the
British Empire and defend it.
Mr.. Bright said the root of misunder-
standing was a feeling of jealousy en-
tertained by England towards the Amer.
lean nation. Every one knew England
could not hold Canada in case OF war,
The relations between England and
America were perfectly friendly
