contributes towards naval defence funds of British wish to call attention to the neglect of any adequato preparation or organization for the defense of what is and will be great highway of British Nation between Atlantic and Pacific When I think of tho future results arising out of the of the Siberian Hallway and Panama Canal and of the little consideration given by the Dominion Government to this their grave responsibility I am sura that it is time that it were pointed out to them and that if they not the means British Nation should see that those means and a plan of do- fenso should be placed within their reach and see to it that they were carried out At present time there is no part of our vast Empire more opened to attack and less prepare to resist it though wo in great dan ger for in no other part of the we a frontier of over three thous and miles along side of such a power ful neighbor as United Stales a nation which is always aggressive with its tomjjic and with a Govern ment which may any day be forced by rabble to declare war about some thing in which they arc in no way concerned We had one or two warnings but are as yet in no way prepared for what will bo a struggle- involving very existence of Canada as a part of the Empire Canada will never be in a fit state for defense until a railroad is built from Hudson Bay to the Pacific this should bo a National Military road and would bo easy to defend and also her population organized from Atlantic to Pacific with depots of Amis and Munitions of war under charge of detachments of a permanent forco forming rallying points Edmon ton and Prince Albert should be two of these The moral of all this that if Canada is to be put in a fit for defence it is time that some one looked after it and that if she contributed anything to National defence fund it should he in the shape of a perman ent regiment or two not stationed in cities but at fixed rallying points between Lake Huron and Rocky Mountains where it would he impos sible to send supplies fortyeight hours after trouble commenced with tho United States and at anytime Indian troubles may occur At pres ent the Police force has been so re duced that it has become a mere sham and a pretence to make people believe that they are under protection when in reality the smallest Indian trouble could not bo put down without bring ing men a

the substitu tion of a much lower rate of interest on our indebtedness than that which now exists THE I congratulate you upon the exceed ingly cordial reception accorded to the representatives of Canada at the jubi lee ceremonials and also upon the warm appreciation manifested every where throughout the mother country in reference to the conduct of Canada in materially reducing the rate of
