Maintain Naval Superiority
Canada Is Willing.
IN Return She Asks That England
Consult Her as to How Money
Shall Be Speni--Mr. Borden Of Cana
da Makes This Position Clear.

London, Aug. 2.-R. w. Borden,
prime minister from the Dominion of
Canada, who, this week, invited Brit
ish cabinet ministers to visit Canada.
has, during his visit to London. made
his position very clear on the subject
of the naval assistance that Canada is
TO offer the mother country.
MIR. Borden and his colleagues of the
Dominion cabinet told the British cab
met that Canada 81 prepared to help
Great Britain maintain her naval SUI
premacy, but when she does so she will
want to be consulted as TO the way the
money is spent.
When Mr.. Borden and his five col
leagues arrived. it was announced,
with a great flourish, that they came
with an offer to contribute squadron
of four Dreadnoughts to England. This
was accepted by the public, SO there is
certain to be some disappointment,
When the final settlement is known.
MI. Borden says that this will not
be until after his return to Canada,
and he has had an opportunity of con-
sulting with the full cabinet.
There are only five of US here and
the cabinet consists of Is members. sc
it is not likely that we should make
any decision until we have had a full
meeting, said the premier,
I'VE are simply Here he added. ito
find out the true position of affairs
and secure all the facts for cabinet
consideration
These facts have been given by the
members of the British cabinet and the
committee of Imperial delegates at
series of joint meetings with the Ca
madam statesmen. These conferences
will be resumed during the coming
visit of MIR. Churchill, First Lord of
the Admiralty, to Canada
Mr.. Borden is not over-communi-
cative as to what Canada is prepared
to do. He reiterates that he is here
only to gather information and nat to
make any offer. He is firm, however. in
stating that, whatever Canada does,
she must in return be consulted in the
expenditure of her money.
If Mr.. Borden is reticent as to what
Canada will do, he is quite outspoken
enough as TO what she wants in return
for any contribution she makes
