Ottawa, Nov. 6.--8ir Wilirid Laurier made a strong defence of the govern- ment's naval policy to a deputation of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, who laid beiore him several resolutions passed at the Quebec con- vention, and who also protested against the establishment of a Cana- dian navy, After Mr. Simpson had indicated the opposition of the delegates to this national undertaking, the premier took advantage of it to éxpress his views in unequivocal terms. No one wished for peace more than he, emphasized Sir Wilirid, but he was compelled to disagree with the views of the delegates on the poYiey of building a Canadian navy, The time has not yet come in the pro- gress of the world when they could say that there was no such thing as war, or that wars were not contem- plated. He was impressed by remarks of some of the delegates that the po lice were necessary adjuncts of local and municipal government: also when the labor difficulties ended in a strike while it wasn't actually warfare it was fight between man and mau. This all showed conclusively that thé days of peace, to which all good men were looking forward, had not arrived Military assistance in times of stress or as means oi defence was not a new idea, so far as Canada was concerned, said Sir Wilfrid. At the imperial con- ference of 1900, it was decided that Canada, as well as the other domin- ions beyond the seas, should do some- thing in thg way of assistance to the scheme of defence of the motherland and the empire. Nothing had been done immediately and meapwhile their judgments upon the question had become maturer, with the result that they had now de- cided to have a navy of their own Canada, an armament to defend, necessary, the rights of and to be of assistance mother. country if evey required, in il Canadians the should to old they be th, the George's annual December Aid of St hold their work in St. An appointing ty minister B.C Churchwoman's . cathedral will tea and sale of George J.
