It was a place of intense interest to these 6u~blishers and edi- tors, for Quebec is the cradle of the hi<:.tor,v,of Canada. There France's dominatipn of` Canada began and there It died, leaving the sway open for British dominion over. and the confederacy of the provinces from ' coast to coast, under one Parliament, one flag and one king. There on the * ramparts of the citadel commanding the St. Lawrence. the phantom figures of Champlain's soldiers keep Gibraltar of the company with the khaki clad sentinel of the present day garrison force. Quebec is a city with an individu- ality. It is unlike any other city in North America. It is a city of con- trasts. Beside a fine modern build- ing one finds a structure with win- dows heavily shuttered. with massive doors. and walls of thick grey masonry. typifying the "days when Quebec was a fortress and the stronghold of the continent.

The Maritime Viewpoint As the C.W.N.A. delegates went about the Maritimes the wish was frequently ex- pressed that the other parts of Canada might ` know the provinces by the Atlantic better and understand their attitude towards na- tional questions and the other provinces. ` This is greatly to be desired. The better the several provinces know and understand each other, the stronger will be the nation- al bond holding them together and the more effective will the contribution of each and all be towards the solution of our na- tional. problems. It would be well if the people of Ontario would read, mark and inwardly digest" the views of the Mari- times so well set out in the following editor- ial of the Sydney Herald 2-- ,____._Li._.` 1.. naumunl < l 4 l H`, made 5, navy, 1C_V trim. ac!1 H \II ..... .._,_----, ,,, | There has been misconception in some [other parts of Canada of the attitude taken `by the Maritime provinces in regard to some of their problems and difficulties.

But the fact is that what the Maritime Provinces have really been askim; in this connection is that what. theyhelievel to have been the Confederation untlerstzmrl-l ing should be respected. ` mm6'.Am-nnn was nnt of the seeking nl. mg should be respected. A Confederation was not of the seeking oil the Maritime Provinces. They were asked! by the central Provinces to join :n the Con ` federation movement. Nova Scotia andl New Brunswick. and, a little later Prince Edward Island. entered Confederation. though with a good many doubts on the part of a large number of the people and in the face of stem opposition of a very con-I siderable minority. In joining the Domir.-l ion they gained certain advantages, un- doubtedly; but they had to sacrifice import-l ant advantages. They had to cut them- selves off from their chief natural market. and a very profitable market at that. They 1 had to enter new trade channels which`have' not opened the,way to that -abundant pros- perity which was prophesied for the Mari times by the Upper Canadian Confederation -apostles. . _ `"T`lnnrA um:-A twn main TGBSOCHS fOl' F or Sale by Htgard s Hardware -apostles.

The railway was not /built as a_ `business pro- positionlin the ordinary sense of the term; it is sufficient to look at the route that was followed to see that; it was built for rea-l sons which may be called political in the best sense of the word. And. whatever may have been left out of legislation, there is ,_ _|-__|_;. L..L 41.- unzlnmtnnrlina wliiell have been Iett out or xegisiauuu, ulclc ID no doubt that the understanding which Maritime people had on entering Confedera- ` tion was that the Intercolonial would al- ways be operated with due regard for the special position of their Provinces. It may be said to be without question that the Mar- itime Provinces would not have entered Confederation at all had it not been for that understanding. So, too, as regards the representation of the Maritime Provinces in the Commons. Had Sir John A. Macdonald"or any other of the Upper. Canadian advocates of the Con- federation told the Maritime Provinces that their representation at Ottawa would be cut down steadily he might just as well have addressed the rest'of his advocacy to the north wind. There would have been no Confederation. . In law, of course, the Maritime Prov- inces have no casg__as regards the railway matter and New Brunswick and Nova Sco- tia have no case as regards representation, l and Prince Edward Island's representation question has already been settled. But what the law says should be done and -what good faith requires may be two dif- ferent things.
