Halifax. Oct. 29.-The declaration
that the existing relations between
Canada and Great Britain cannot ex-
ist much longer was made yesterday
by the Halifax Chronicle, the leading
newspaper supporter in the maritime
provinces of the liberal party. In the
course of an unusually Outspoken edi-
torial on the recent Alaskan boundary
award. the Chronicle expresses what
it claims to be the unanimous dissat-
isfaction of the Canadians at the &C
ton of the British government in the
matter.
The Chronicle declares there are
now OIL to source open for Canada
complete legislative independence
within the empire, acknowledging the
sovereignty of the king of England
alone. or the status of an independent
nation. The paper says there is much
TO commend the latter step in partic-
ula- because II viii tree Canada from
the danger of being embrOiled with
the United States and at the same
time would secure for the dominion
the benefit Of the protection of the
Monroe doctrine.
