Free access to our markets and the con-
tinuAnce of the bonding system are un-
doubtedly vital to the growth OF Canada. In
the opinion of The Press the people of
Canada will not have free access to our
markets as long as they are an sppendage to
the British crown. IL the people of that
country thoroughly understood this they
would, within quarter of = century, decide
in favor of independence and free access to
