Anelo Canadian Relations.
An American visiting ottawa the other
dav said there were two things in the
relations Of Canada and Britain that
struck him forcibly. one was the snee'-
ing references of things English tha'
often found their way into CANADIAN
newspapers. and even speeches WINE
English references 10 Canada were al
WAYS couched in almost fulsome Veih'
The other was the fact that an Engilsh-
man seemed always TO get along nu'H
better with an American than he ola WIN
a Canadian Undoubtedly both THESE oo-
servations are due to the fact that as be-
tween Canada and Britain there IS con-
sciously or unconsciously, a condition OF
inequality in the political relations when
IS not satisfactory to Canada Admittedly
this is a condition that cannot last the
Centralists would fix IT by an imperla'
Parliament and the Autonomists b! ue-

Canadian Parliament is equal IN functions
to the English, leaving the crown the
sole connecting link OF empire. Undoubt-
eddy there are some who believe that
eventually there must come q separation
of Canada from England. but Of these the
number is not larSe.
In the reciprocity election one OF the
most effective platform aids whom MI
Borden attracted 20 his banner was an
Engilshman named Arthur Hawkes., an

was particularly effective with the
British born" vote the million or two
new arrivals who FOR the first time were
casting a Canadian vote. They went In
body against any agreement with the
United States Of America. But they did
not understand the issue at stake.
1t is significant that Hawkes. has now
come out against the Borden naval policy
that he is organizing a Canadian league
for the propagation Of national spirit, and
that he purposes TO take the stump to
attack the policy of the Centralists. His
chief point is that any Englishmen who
comes TO Canada is not inferior 10 one

is awaited with interest This is one OF
the signs which indicate that the Borden

not only the first heard from any person
