In the meantime; Hon. John w Eos
ter, ex-sccrotary Of state, tells us. in
nn address just Issued In pamphlet
form by the International School OF
Peace Boston, that war is not newt
able.
Mr. Foster reviews history and finds
that the Revolutionary War could not
have occurred in this century. and he
quotes the following from the London
Times rs rejecting the sentiment of the
government and the people on the
question of Canadian independence:
Eve have been taught wisdom by
experience. ind the most valuable as
well us the most costly of our lessons
has been taught by the barren issue Of
n conflict with Il provinces which from
remonstrance lrifted to rebellion and
crowned rebellion with Independence.
We should not 20 to war for the sterile
honor of retaining Il reluctant colony
in subsection. w" should not pllr-
chase an unwilling obedience by the
outlay0f treasure or blood"
Accordingly, Mr. Foster concludes.
there could be no Revolutionary War
In this age. II Canada were to demand
Independence today. it would not meet
With armed opposition.
Mr.. Foster next shows that the war
OF 1872 was far from being inevitable.
That conflict, though justifiablc. was
against the better sentiment of the
country. The President. Mr.. Madison,
Mr., Foster says. did all in his power
to prevent It, but he was overruled by
few fiery spirits in Congress known
us the War Hawks" Henry Clay and
John c. Calhoun. The declaration of
war was passed by Congress after a
long and heated debate, 4 large MI
nority vote being cast against 1t. Five
days after this action. but unknown
in America owing to the slow means
of communication. the Orders in Coun-
Gil were repealed, and thus the main
