WHY THIS ACTIVITY?
United States Naval Forces on the
Lakes.

Hon. G. Sterling Ryerson, mem Der
of the Ortario legislature for East
Toronto, and leading conservative in
the house, in long letter to the local
press protests against permission being
granted to the United States gunboat
Yantic to pass through Canadian can
ais to Lake Erie. The United States
authorities" says Mr.. Ryerson, SAY
that this warsbip is required for
instructiOnal purposes for their naval
militia. Why are they increasing their
naval forces on the lakes? Does it
bode us well? We have spent SIS, O00,-
900 on our cana $. Was this burden
put upon the Canad! an people to facili-
tate the access of United States war
ships to the upper lakes, where they
might injure US in time afterward, or
was it to facilitate Canadian trade?"
Mr.. RyersOn, then points out that
the strength Of the naval militia in the
United States is considerable, especial
ly in the states bordering upon the
great lakes, and that if the cruiser
Y antic pa. ses up they will have reached
the limit allowed by treaty. Continu-
ing, he says: 'Why this activity:
History shows that greater advantages
may often be gained in tim of peace
than in time of war. Our ueighbOrs
are taking time by the forelock. 1t is
essential to our safety thai the control
of the lakes shall be maintained by us
and no hostile power be allowed to
strengthen tself by uing caanls built
at our expense. | trust that the govern
ment of Canada, backed by a united
public sentiment, will refuse the eX-
