slider that 1t is only question of time until Canada
IS part of the United States. Whether 1t be one

on the relations of the United States with Canada
is accepted by statesmen and public generally,
Irrespective of party, throughout the Dominion, as an
intimation that leading Republicans have decided
that Canada must be annexed, or fight for her
independent national existence. 1t IS expected that
annexation clubs will be started shortly throughout
Ontario Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. Leading
Imperial Federation managers have resolved to push
the immediate extension Of the League TO fight the
xationists. The question of annexation is COM
ing rapidly to the front, and showing out OF sGht
