Canada With Unrepresentative
Ensign Seeks Ideas for Proper
heraIdic Device.
MAPLE LEAF IN HIGH FAVOR
Emblem Now In Use Unauthorized
and No Longer Represents Canada
as Five Of Its Provinces Are
Not Included.

Toronto.-Canada Is nation" but
1t has no flag. Herein it is unique
among all nations.
A so-called Canadian flag is In use
but its use is unauthorized and II no
longer represents Canada. 1t Is the
red ensign of the British mercantile
marine with the coat of arms of On
tario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New
brunswick in a quartered shield on
the field of the flag.
This flag, by warrant dated Feb
ruary 2, 1892, was authorized by the
British admiralty, 'to be used on
board vessels registered in the Do
miniOn." This limits it's domain to
Canadian merchant ships, as no au-
thorization was given to fly it on
shore. When 1t is flown on land, 1t Is
out of its jurisdiction. In any case,
1t has not been formally adopted by
the Canadian people and it now has
decided limitations.
Its shield contains the devices Of
only four of the nine provinces which
now form the Dominion of Canada.
The four coats Of arms make an al
most indecipherable emblem owing to
the crowding of their devices into so
small space. II the emblem was
brought up to date by adding the arms
OF the other five provinces, the result
would be hopeless confusion Of
armorial bearings; the significance
would be destroyed and the flag be
lacking in distinction and beauty.
AustraIia's Flag.
Australia. when it organized its
commonwealth, chose flag from 80
600 competing designs. It has the
Union Jack in the upper left-hand cor
ner, with the constellation Of the
southern cross, white on blue field.
New Zealand also has a flag. 1t is
also based on the southern cross con.
stellatiOn, red stars on blue field.
There are only four stars compared
with Australians six.
AS for South Africa, Premier SHUTS
has declared that she, too, will have
her own national flag.
The Manitoba Free Press, speaking
for province not represented In the
present unofficial Canadian ensign, is
agitating for new Canadian flag and
