_- ,..-,-.......,. . l In dealing with other needs which l will `certainly arise, the Government will i not fail to remember that these generous and free-will contributions have 'been made. And in all your splendid generosity, do not forget the Patriotic Fund and the Canadian Red Cross Society. They have done a great Work, `but they have still" a greater work to do. Appeals which assuredly will not [fall on deaf ears must be made in the early future. See that the response is generous and ample. VVhen you are making provis- ion_ for the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Canadian Red Cross Society, the Canadian War Contingent Association and other like gpatriotic organizations, you` may be assured; that the Government will not fail to make` every necessary provision for guns, mun-l itions and equipment. ' _ `ll `1 Regarding machine guns, we realized early in the Warthe necessity of an abundant supply,` and orders have been given from time to time for a very large_ number. Those ordered during the rst . twelve months of the War are now being rapidly delivered, and they are more than` suicient to equip more than two full army 7 corps up to the highest standard .,'of the enemy s forces. During the past summer the provision of machine guns became a matter of vital interest `to the Canadian people, as reports through the press em- phasized the. necessity that `our .forces should be adequately supplied with_ all the machine guns that could be utilized. Pat- riotic individuals oered to contribute large sums for this distinctive purpose. The iGovernment of Ontario made a similar pat-7 riotic proposal, and throughout the country various communities generously . subscribed to funds for this object. During my ab- sence _in Great Britain my colleagur.-5 en- deavored to make it. clear to the ' people that `an ample supply of machine guns had been ordered and that these would be paid out of the Canadian Treasury. The Treas- ury of Canada ought properly to bear all the cost of equipping and maintaining our forces in the eld, and that has been our policy. Nevertheless, the. spirit and impulse which prompted our people could not he` stayed, and,` indeed, any attempt to stay itl would have been misunderstood. _Up to date the sums received -by the (dovermnent amounted to $773,327.95.

Montreal.` I ' Some Canadians have appeared re- ` es- aently to be a little annoyed with President Wilson, a little bitter about ay the attitude of his country. Some [st Canadian newspapers have reprinted, L'd._ with an unnecessary amount of scare" "1" headline, articles fromiobscure or ill- tempered British publications, in which the United `States was accused of sel- 5c_ 1' iishness and basenessu Before giving [utterance to expressions of this kind, Canadians should stop and think very is carefully about the conditions with which President Wilson has to deal. 4 It is true that President Wilson has not sent the American army andnavy to the defence, and the avenging, or ` downtrodden Belgium. Some Can- ,e| adians seem inclined to make `a .griev-` 0 ance of that tact. `I do notnknow er exactly why they should. The United States was not a party to the scrap of paper," the treaty of 1831 whereby `- Britain, France, Russia and the two _ traitorous Germanic powers bound fl themselves to maintain Belgian inde- , pendence and neutrality. The United 3 States` has no particular business in - Elurope, just as the European powers have no particular business in the sphere of the Monroe Doctrine. If she entered into this ' war, it would be tram exclusively ' sentimental and humanitarian reasons; and `sentiment and __humanity, while admirable "quali- ties in themselves, are extremely dan-_ gerous as the sole factors in a nationis external policy. Great Britain has never A made sentiment. or humanity the sole motive `of her actions; if she had, she "would have been .perpetiially- I. wgslins . into the embrodimentsl or the 1: ) .4 if powers` or. lilnrope and - trittier-x . hgiigeysy. l_i_e_r` 'usetuiness.isand_lier in;-; 1h;:}'f , the . and in-n,_. `J"l"1ht.Tfunilv':`a. ....~v-~.;-~..w..-,- - 7&\ THE AMERICAN vnvrvmum-: IOCOIOIO Z0100 Z0101 IOIOI -_._. _- -- _._., vv--aubvvvvuu - [ j1iE; W.
