YEAR 77-NO. 40 YET ANOTHER = Naval Policy Advanced By| the Opposition. HIRE DREADNOUGHTS IS THE SCHEME PROPOSED DR. CHISHOLM, BY Who Refuses to Endorse the Policy Borden the of His Leader, R. L. Peace Advocates Endorsed Government Policy. Bpecial to the Whig. Ottawa, ¥eb. 17.~The naval debate, which is entering on its second lap, wae marked in the commons, yester- day, by another mew policy contribut- ed from the opposition which has al- ready advanced three divergent pro- posals. Dr. Chisholm, of West Huron, declined to endorse the policy of his leader for a direct contribution as not being in keeping with a proper na tional self-respect, or with the under- lying principles of Canada's develop- ment as an autonomous nation with: in the empire. He made the original suggestion that Canada should - hire peven Dreadnoughts at a cost of a million and a half a year, to protect Atlantic trade routes and safeguard Britain's sources of food supply. He gave another unique turn to the de bate by dialating at a considerable Jength on the wisdom of developing the Hudson Bay route. Mr. Beaupar- lant, speaking in French, and Mr. Congden, of the Yukon, both spoke as pgace advocates. But while deplor- ing wasteful expenditure on prepara: tions for war, they admitted the ne- cessity of maintaining adequate police protection on the seas by way of a navy and they endorsed the govern ment's policy, A. M, Beauparlant, of St. Hyacinth, in resuming the debate on the naval bill, spoke briefly in French in support of the government's policy. While not an enthusiast for the expenditure of money. on battleships, he maintained that Canada had now reached a stage in her national development: when it "was necessary to take steps to assist the mother-country in policing the trade routes of the empire. Even though the world was growing weary of wars and sighing for universal peace, it was still the duty of Canada to help and maintain the supremacy and unity of the empire, thereby in- suring Camada against absorption hy some foreign power. On general prin- bE ar manity than was Napoleon, y holm, of Hurom, in the tourse of a lengthy speech, rather dis- approved of the policy of the govern- ment and the policy of his leader, Mr. Borden. He remarked that the gov- ernment might well have devoted funds towards the assistance of Messrs. Mc Curdy and Baldwin in their aviation experiments at Petawawa, last sum- mer, since the time was coming when airships would be more affective than war vessels, in deciding the destinies of nations, He thought that the clash of arms between Britain and her com- petitors would come before the com- pletion of the Canadian navy, which would not be fit for service before 1920 and he emphasized the preparedness of Germany on land, on sea and in the air, for the coming struggle, which might result in the dismemberment of the British empire, the plundering of jts wealth, and the capture of King Edward, as a prisoner of war. At the same time he was not enamored of Mr. Borden's policy, which involved the payment of tribute, the turning back on the progress of our constitu tional development, and the sacrifice of national selfsrespect in hiring out our national defence to others. His own idea was to hire 'seven Dread- noughts, at a cost of $1,500,000 a year, to protect Atlantic trade routes and safeguard the food supply of the motherland, He concluded with a long argument in favor of the development TASTE GI 705 'PAILY MEMORANDA. ity Counell, 8 pm, Court Frontenac, 1LOF, meets evening. w 14th Band nlght.
