already been suggested by more than one lead er was that of a federal union of all the provinces Foremost among the advocates of this was George Tribute to place of Brown and earlier in this is made by Sir Wilfrid who in an ad dress in Parliament at the death of Sir Tuppcr said Un doubtedly George Brown was due the first initiation of Con federation He it was who by bis aiid persevering agi tation against the Union of Upper and Lower Canada directed destinies off Canada towards Confederation of the older Prov inces of British North America At the same lime that leaders in the two were beginning lo look toward Confederation other and external causes wc bringing the necessity of union before the Maritime Provinces and in delegates from these Provinces assembled in conven tion at to consider the question of a federal union To George Brown must be giv en credit for the fact that dele gates the two Canada were able to meet with delegates from Maritime Provinces at this Conference at On June Iho Conserva tive Ministry in which John A Macdonald was a leading member although not Premier had been defeated after less than three months of office The parlia mentary situation was most dif ficult and recognizing this fact and the necessity for pulling the larger first George Brown intimated to two Conservative members his willingness to co operate with any government that would undertake to settle the constitutional difficulty existing in Canada Immediately nego tiations were begun for the formation of a Govern ment and eight days later Mr Brown had consented to become a member of a Coalition Govern ment which had for its immedi ate object the arrangement of a confederation of the provinces of British North America In this connection it is worthy of note that the Coalition Cabinet which Mr Brown entered had a repre sentation of only three Liberals as against nine Conservatives To appreciate properly the greatness of George Browns ac tion at this lime one must

they hud formed together the Ministry however held office but a few days When the question Confederation arose was almost unreservedly opposed to its formation at that time or at any rale to the scheme of Con fed oration that was submitted and for the first time these two old political friends found their lilical partnership dissolved The 1 call of duty which pressed home by a message from the Gov- 1 requesting him to cuter the Coalition Governments prevailed with George Brown I and assuredly Ihe unselfishness of his attitude at this lime can not be questioned writer says of him No other man made such sacrifices for Confederation as did George Brown He must have known thai he would be damaged by his own partnership with Sir John A Macdonald Mackenzie and other influential I Liberal- leaders gave a reasoned and effective support to the new constitution but they would not enter the Coalition Brown was the lesser and the finer patriot fuming now to Hie national Situation in

money stronger or- of her resources ana more severe war measures In order lo fulfil the first need lhatj of men the Military Service Act vas drafted and passed through Parliament but the great deci sion that now confronts Canadi ans in the coming election is whether that Act shall be enforc ed or not is a question of vital interest to Canada as a na tion for upon her success in ob taining men rests the hope of her continuing to hold her place in the great world conflict By far the greater majority of the political leaders believe that those necessary men cannot obtained by voluntary recruiting and consequently they have sup ported the Military Service Act that the much needed mentsmaybo speedily sent to the front In the ranks of the Liberal Par ly opinion has been divided on the question of conscription Just as in the Liberals of Quebec under the leadership opposed confederation so today Liberals of Quebec under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid are opposing the enforcement of the Military Service Act Just as also in 1807 the majority of the Liberals in Upper Canada follow- bis support to the Union Government that Is now before the people of Canada for Undoubtedly verdict history will be of warmest appreciation of the courage and disinterested devo tion to duly of those Liberals who left their party at the risk Of being misunderstood by their supporters because in a lime of crisis they put their country first years of four millions of people hangs on our decision Shall wo then rise to the occasion Shall we approach this discus sion without partisanship and free from every personal an earnest resolution to discharge conscientiously the duty which an overruling Providence has placed upon us A North York Liberal 000 IN ICELAND London Nov Iceland threatening lo revolt against Den mark because demand of a separate flag has not been granted Despatches from Scandinavia of Quebec To quote say that all political parlies and of Mr Howell in one virtually ihe entire on the fact that John A his political opponent and rival was also Ins personal enemy was of the to a member which he was asked lo enter The bitter feud between the two men was notorious in political circles and to work in a government with John A was to George Brown the most dis agreeable duty thai could con front him As he himself said in of the proposal The public mind would be shocked at such an arrangement Secondly we must recognize this feature that not only was Brown called upon to Join with his political enemies but ho was forced to separata himself from political friends whom he held in high esteem The Lib eral leader in Lower Canada at that time was Antoine a man of eloquence and courage and integrity He had all the and courtesy of a schol arly Frenchman with gravity so briety and reserve of the culti vated Englishman Where ho was men were cleaner and finer and discourse was so- rono and elevated Between and Brown there had grown up a friendship of long standing which survived all dif ferences of opinion although un doubtedly Browns criticism of Quebec and Roman Catholicism was at- times more unrestrained Government necessary to bring about Confederation so loday the outstanding Liberal leaders at the English speaking Provinces hove found it necessary to break their lifelong political partnership with Sir Wilfrid and join with leading Conservatives to form llie Coalition Government which alone can enforce the measures necessary for the continuance of war as in 1867 a Coalition Government gave strength and unity so lo- day only a Coalition Government can succeed in placing a strong Canada behind her share of the war burden In the light of fifty years of history how do Liberals of today view the action of George Brown Even Sir Wilfrid who in was opposed to Confedera tion and who as a young editorial writer staled in one of his ar ticles thatll would bo the tomb of the French race and ruin of Canada today George Brown for his share in bringing great federal union of Canada and no man in the course of a long lite has more to make that Howell in one virtually theentire people on the of his recent public utterances disposed to declare In the light of fly years of his tory Quebec will be glad that through the operation of the Mil itary Service Act she has been made one with the rest Of Canada in bearing Ihe
