ton OF Canada 10 the United States
was advocated today in an address by
Henry Bourassa, NJ P, the nationalist
leader Of Quebec, before the summer
school of science Of St Francis Xavler
college The speaker dwelt at length
on the four possible aims OF Canada
namely. remaining I'm the position in
which she is at present, which he re-
gardcd as very improbable: imperial
federation. which would be an un-
wieldly and unworkable condition, an
DeXetion to the United States, and in-
dependence.
Imperial federation means an i'm
perial council and preponderant
British influence" said Mr Bourassa.
Conditions today in Canada make
more for annexation than for imperial
federation. The penetrative influence
OF trade by rail and coastal lines. the
mental propensity OF the two peoples
living under the same or similar con
ditions. industrial and social. the con-
slant ntercommun,cation of Cana
dlans and Americans. arc all powerful
factions making for annexation"
