'article on British relations to Canada
and the UNITED Safes. He says the
open-eyed recognition of the develop
lment Of ourself and the United States
ought to have the effect of inducing
perpetual peace between us. 1t should
at once set aside the dream even if 1t
were ever entertained of naval pre-
dominance on our part to endure from
generation to generation.

Discussing the relations of Canada
to the United States. he recognizes
that no American wishes to annex
Canada, that most Americans believe
that the irresistible force Of graviJa-
ton will lead the dominion to merge
in the republic He regards this PROS
pect without acquiescence, satistac-
ton or desire
He concludes by saying: 1T would
rebound to the infinite honor of any
statesman, whether Of Canada or the
States, who would bring about an OK
tension of the provisions of the
rtreaty of Client, SO as to preclude in
principle any array or armed forces
all along the line from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
