Special to The Journal.
Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 21.senator
Poirier of New Brunswick In the
senate yesterday attacked the Alas
kan boundary decision. The commits.
sioners, he said, virtually, practically
and actually coded the whole of the
coast in dispute to the United States.
That was no surprise" he said:
TT could have been anticipated, and
likely it was the best thing that could
have been: done. An arrangement is
often better than successful lawsuit.
I find no fault with the tribunal. We
can afford, for the sake of peace and
harmony with our neighbor, to give
up a third slice of our territory, but
II think 1t Is time we called a halt
and looked forward to see how many
other slices we may. be called on to
part with and see If we cannot avert
the primary dismemberment. of the
Dominion. .:E
Our friends to the south are now
to the west Of us and to the north
west of us. Shall we wait until we
are encircled by them? Imminent
dangers are staring us in the face.
The next arbitration may be con-
corning Hudson's Bay. Surprising at
that time Greenland is the possession
Of the United States. The United
otdeess ~ INV putting iOFWafQ CLAIMS
for Greenland What would the re-
suit be In an arbitration tribunal as
to part of :Hudson's Bay? The senate
should direct the attention Of the gov
ernment to this matter, and it would
be a, mistake for Canada to allow the
United. States to get possession, say, OF
the north pole.''' p ~. ~ ~ :, )
He proceeded to refer to the expe-
ditions which the United States sent
In. search Of the pole and said that
Canada should not wait till the United
States has scooped in the whole arc
TIC regions and then encircled. Canada
on all sides, south, west, northwest,
north. There was Newfoundland to
the east, and an effort was made to
get 1t annexed to the United States. !:
The future independence Of our
country, added the senator, may de-
pend on this question. : 50 :

preliminary report which he for
warded to- Eondon from Chicago. In
it he declares the commercial great
ness of:thfs country2is due to the tariff,
adding that it would: be "the salvation
OF England ,+... q !. ~ :. =.
Mr. Hamlyn summarized his report
to Mr.. Chamberlain as follows: -.
! when I began this investigation I
was in doubt as to the wisdom Of your
policy After becoming more ac-
quainted with the Industrial greatness
of this country, fostered under a pro-
tectfvet tariff, I am convinced Of the
accuracy of'your Judgment. -,-lz -. :,
:r.. Salvation of England, :. ": :.
J.. a.''sY our protective tariff policy will be
the salvation of England. It will pre-
vent England from being the dumping
ground Of the manufacturing products
Of other countries. The manufactur-
ers and tradesmen I have seen during
Is, 900 miles of travel, while visiting the
trade centers in this country, frankly
admit that5the English tariff will be d
detrin1ent to the continued industrial
prosperity of America: They admit
also that it will be best for England
The report concludes with an offer
by Mr.. Hamlyn to contribute $500 to
a fund with which to bring to America
100 English Workingmen from fifty
manufacturing cities to study the ef-
fleets of a tariff on the wages and liv-
ing expenses Of the, working classes.
L Speaking of Chamberlain's plans
Mr.. Hamlyns5said he, did not entirely
favor a: tariff on beef and some other
American foodstuffs, but did not see
how an exception could be made.
So Mr.. Hamlyn expects to visit the
wholesale and retail stores and the
stock yards to-day. On Friday, In
company with Charles Allis, he will
go to Milwaukee,. Returning to Chi.
cago he will start for Peoria, st. Louis
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Philadelphia
Boston and New York, sailing fol
nome in about three weeks.
