The bitter warfare that is being
waged over the parochial school
question may end in dismemoer
ment of the confederation OF Canadl-
an provinces, the province or Man
itoba setting up as an independent
crown colony. 1t is now evident tnat
the dominion government is de-
termined to pass legislation restoring
Roman Catholic parochial schools in
Manitoba, and it is certain that this
province will resist such legislation.
To resist, however, as province OF
the dominion would be revolution,
and Premier Greenway has no desire
to go to the length of revolution, for,
in spite of all, he and his government
are loyal to the British crown. This
loyalty has been manifested more
than once, when movements toward
annexation to the United States have
been started and promptly discoun-
tenanced. The only other alternative
seems to be retirement from the con-
federation Of Canadian provinces, and
the setting up Of crown colony
under constitution similar to that of
Newfoundland.
