The Minister of Finance declared thatkCanada _was prepared to spend her last drop of blood and her last needed in the way of expenditure,- and how he proposedto raise it. Mr. White declared the intention of the Government to maintain so far as possible the existing program of public works under construction, but added that new works would not be undertaken till the financial situation cleared. Under such a policy he es- timated that the revenue would just expenditure. This left to be other- wise provided for capital, special and investment expenditure a total of probably $30,000,000, together with such special expenditure as might be ”Canada and the Empire. The special war taxes representing only a fraction of the increase in military and naval expenditure will fall, the *Minister said, on the entire community. “In paying them each citizen will feel~ that the amount he .pays is a direct contribution to the defence of Canada and the Empire." Both Sides United' Party lines were forgotten when the House met for the most momen- tous session in its history. . . Mr. Donald Sutherland, of South Oxford, who moved, and D. D. Les- perance, of Montmagny, who second- ed the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, dwelt upon the duty 1 of the country to care for the families of the men who were about to risk their lives in battle for Canada and the Empire, and upon the wonderful unanimity of .sentiment which had united all the states of the Empire and for the time had obliterated fac- tional and political differences in he Hand, in Great Britain, in Canada and "’in every nation under the Union Jack. The Premier, Sir Robert. Borden, 'voiced the sentiment of the House *when he said: “As to our duty, all are agreed. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mother Country, With firm hearts we abide the issue." The Premier's Statement Sir Robert said in part: “It is not fitting that I should prolong this do bate. In the awfuldawn of the great- est war the world has ever known, in the hour when peril confronts us such as this Empire has not faced for a hundred years, every vain or un. necessary word seems a discord. As to our duty all are agreed, east and west, and shoulder to shoulder, with Britain and the other British Domini lions in this quarrel. And that duty we shall not fail to fulfill as the honor of Canada demands. Not for love of battle, not for lust of conquest, not for greed of possessions, but for the cause of honor, to maintain solemn pledges, to uph ld‘ principles of liber~ 'ty, to Withstand forces that would. convert the world into an armed camp, yes, in the very name of the peace that we sought at any cost, leave that of dishonor, we have em ltered into this war. and while grave. :ly- conscious of ”re tremendous issues ~involved. and of an the sacrifices that they may entail, we do not shrink from them, but with firm hearts we abide the event." ‘ Sir Wilfrid Eioquent Sir Wilfrid Laurier was received with 'cheers from both -sides of the House. ~ 3 “Our answer is, ‘Ready, aye. lReadyi’" declared the leader of the Opposition. “Our appeal is not to the god of attles, but to the God of jus- tice an mercy. We‘ have had our differences : id disagreements.‘ but here and now I give the assurance that in what has been done and in what remains to be done we shall take no exception and offer no critic- ism so long as there is danger at the front.
