Well If the Democratic government
does desire an adequate navy, is ii so
ing to try to get it by pursuing the
scrap-heap policy of the Democratic
house of representatives in the las
session? We say scrap-heap policy

Surely there can be little doubt
that the Democratic policy of one bat

only the comparative efficiency of the
United States navy. but the compare
tive existence of the American sea
power.

Mr. Fitzgerald, chairman of the ap,

that is true, II does not necessarily
follow, however, that the expansion

that the growth of the country justi-

be made by the Democrats 1t was
good for the Republicans, and the
Democrats were not justified In re-

standard for both parties. The Dem.

The close ties of friendship exist

Canada we-e dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can

said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language. the litera-

traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t

of the outward celebration, but let US
