that the Canadian people rpO for annexation stu,

these three alternatives freely and fully discussed

not yet become question Of practical politics.
Among the 2i5 members Of tae House OF Commons
thoro are probably score Of believers In Imperial
Federation, several Independence advocates. and
avowed Annoxatonist but these issues are never dis
