The Evening Journal OTTAWA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1911. i THE POCXD OF FLESH. -It la no answer to ths argumsnt thst Csnedlsa nationality may be menaced by the psct with Wssalngton to assert that Canadians an loyaL No aaa doubts that No on has questioned It Canadians did not start Mm annexa tion cry. Wa Ignored tba monatroua assumptions of tba Americans until their Increasingly tnaolant tons de manded attention, TMirn ths moat prominent publla mtn In the I'nlied statea bava not scruple! to declsn this deal a prelude to the grestsr deatlny awaiting Canada under the Stars and Stripes: when the moat Influential Journals of even shade of politics and of no politics hsve hallfd the agreement aa the fore-r'rn'r rf our final absorption, could Canadians be expected tamely to alt Istng no syllable of protest against these dsrlns Insults? Public' opinion throughout this country rltht'r aroused. And this cefpiln-lf we refuse Taft'a subtle enticements will result tn this good at least tea uatna ans and An-rrican' will understand each other better than aver before.

There Is every reason to believe that a large proportion. If not a majority of each naltton ave pro foundly ignorant of their neighbors' Inner motives and cherished Ideals. Americana are wide of the mark In Imagining that there exlsta In Canada a substantial body of people who contemplate political union with decrees or satisfaction varying from a mild approval to actual elation. But deaplta the repeated declarations of every responsible public man north of the forty-ninth parallel that an annexationist In Canada is a political curiosity and a psychological freak, our Southern nelghbnra either refuse to hear or will not believe. Canadians, unfortunately, have failed to realize the feeling.

In our complacency wa have taken for granted that the United Statea haa ceased to cast covetous eyes 'on our broad domains, content to develop Its own half of the Continent, and equally aatlafled to allow us to do the same with our territories. Because the ua-bluahlntf spread-eagleism of the old time Fourth of July orations has been gradually "moderating with the years, we supposed that the vainglorious saturations underlying auch sentiments had also been modified. In our elm-plUfcy we accepted at (ace value the fraternal assurances given to Canadian apeakere alt various festive gatherings, that their aggressive designs were all of the paat. Only, as this reciprocity discussion hs progressed, have we realised bur mistake. Hundreds of 'representative public men and responsible journals of the United States have given utterance to the same confident prophecy that Canada will sooner or later become part of their confederacy.

An overwhelming majority of their ninety millions nave been' born and schooled to the Ideal of a compact North America united under the folda of Old Glory. Having bound together their Esst and West, and having depleted their farm lands and natural resources, they are forced to look elsewhere. Can we suppose that their ambition and desire for sxpanalon has suddenly ceased. Juat at the moment when It has every Justification? They have planted their flag at the North Pole-such Is their boast They have seised the Panama Canal sons Mexico dare hardly call her soul her own for fear of losing It to the United Stales Texas, California, Hawaii, Cuba, and the nss b.ar trumpet-tongued ltnf as to the almost resistless of a growing and greedy nation. by constant Insistence upon the Munro Doctrine, they not'enly" refuse to have their high-hcnied acta a-s.

turned, but they cock to rnsks of hMa Vcstrrn, Hemisphere a private preserve for all time coma. a Wa do not accuse Che great pro- -sortlon of the neighboring republic of harboring hostile Intentions. We are lad to believe that the spirit of con mrd and Anglo-Saxon brotherhood Is hand by millions of their best eltl-seag. But recent events have driven home tba unpleasant conviction thai they retard the annexation of Canada In the) sun way as wa do that of Newfoundland. Most Canadians, pro-bwbly.

suppoee that It Is only a matter at time before the sturdy Britishers of Newfoundland will And It mutually ed-rantagfroas to enter the Dominion confederation. So, we are told, the mora friendly and enlightened elements in the United la tea entertain the hope of sainaxtDC us, not by force of arms. Vat by (ores of destiny.

Political leaders, senators and public, men of every shade of opinion an bluntly proclaiming re-cproclty as the fsrst of a few short sups to political union. Journals of repute an demanding with flamboy ant audacity that the United Slates Government follow up the treaty with annexation. Wa may scoff at these wild statements.

Ws do denounce the eolossa impudence revealed. But the point to, such appeals an made. And tba very fact that political tricksters harp on this string without rebuke bears, sullen witness to the formidable body of opinion hostile to Canada's remaining within the British Empire. Our misgivings are not silenced by the apectacla of President Taft openly giving his benediction to the arch-firs-brand, Hearst, whose best word for England Is "perfidious Albion, and whoso swsggerlng prediction for Can-ads Is speedy annexation. Canadians have hid every opportunity of learning what the Americana regard reciprocity to mean for both the present snd the future.

By both the peaceable and the militant fac-tjans reciprocity is regarded as the precursor of political union. The United Statea has never yet made a bargain without getting the best of It. Nor has It ever fsiled to exact the pound of flesh. What avails It to aay that there Is t-othlng about political status the bond? We know that the Americans read Into the agreement our ultimate severance from the British Empire. At the beat grave complications will arise and animosity between the two listions will be engendered If the Americans feel themselves duped by the sgreement snd thwarted In their purpose.

At the worst, they will, Uke Shylock. demand the pound of flesh, to be cut off nearest the heart for what la Canada's heart If It be not her union with the Motherland? Grant all that the Liberals claim for the pact Suppose those of us who grow wheat and turnips do get a few cents more which few believe. Shall we then barter the very heart of our national life? The price la too great Canadians, itgardleas of party, will not sign the bond. TRY IT A YEAR." Of all the flimsy arguments ad vanced on behalf of reciprocity, quite the most ridiculous is that ons which bids us to "try It for a year." Appeals to reason are abandoned for appeals to Canadians are aaked to stake the solid and assured prosperity of ths country upon a hugs experiment The specious plea shows a profond Ignorance of ths wsy business ts done. Neither between men nor nstlons can commercial relations bo established, cut off, and resumed at the nod and beck of the legislator.

Markets must bs foupd. specialised demands must be catered to and reputations built up before profitable trad can ensue. All this Is aot ths work of a few months. Neither advocate' nor opponent of the pact can claim that ths full effect of ths fiscal change will be so apparent as to qualify ths people, on economical grounds, to say at ones whether the gains exceed the losses. Some might elnd ths experiment pro fitable.

(Many wouM unqestlonsbly loss. But could we reverse the policy next yesr, snd begin when we left oft? By no means. Our cheese factories, for In stance, would ship to ths United States, and turn their backs on the profitable markets they have opened for Canadian cheese In Britain. After a year's lapse of the trade with Eng land would our cheese find Its former plica waiting for It? Let ths keen competttora of rival nations answer. But aside from the economic features could Csaada back out of the bargain so easily.

Young, look down a list of one hundred and seventeen names, the most of which he could not himself spell, they being the names of Poles, Swedes, snd a score of other foreign ers, who had no right to vote. The enumerator at Lorraine would not even allow them to go on to the list at all. not letting the judges have a chance to express their opinion of the attempted swindle. "In the face of that" concluded Mr. Young, "I do not see how the Liberals have any right to go around pinning falsa charges to ths Conservative party In the north.
