HIS OWN PRESS AGENT PREMIER BORDEN HAS ASSUM ED A NEW ROLE. Like That Action in Sending His Speech Ou in Advance Shows Lack of Sin cerity. Dec. 11.---An eceddnt has been set by Mr. the naval n Thusday, ani virich comports neither with ignity of the prime ministe non-partisan treatment of the naval question which he been demanding. Acting along the lines of the circus booster, he seal his speech embodying the nava proposals to the éonservative jour nals of the dominion several days before it was delivered, to be 're leased" when he arose in the Houex on Thursday. Not content with this, the speech, some five thousand words of it, was commitied to 2 leading news ageney, and cabled tc England for distrisution amongs! friendly papers there as soon as the signal was given from Ottawa b: the premier, So that the day be fore the announcement was made Mr. Borden's speech was lying In cold type in newspaper offices of two continents, neatly fixed up and interpolated with "Hear, Hear" "Loud Applause," "Cheers" and so on at what seemed fitting places, Apart altogether from the dignity or prudence of such an emergency method to secure prompt publicity it shows an evident lack of sincer ity in the premier. He has foi Jong professed to pose as an im perial statesthan, nd urged thal this imperial naval proposition be elevated above the sphere of party politics. But quite apart from this, his action was altogether wrong, parliament was entitled to the first knowledge of the premier"s inten- tion, and the repressutatives of the people were the ones whose right it was to be the first to comment upon it from their seats in parlia- ment. Such an unstatesmanlike and par- tizan procedure compared ill with the manner in which Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his ministers approach- ed the reciprocity announcements. There was no circles poster busi- ness, no partizan favours. Liberal and tory were treated alike to judi- fous silence until the proper time for the announcement, and then the people and press of all parties were given equal opportunity. Mr. Bor- den can hardly said to have add- ed to the dignity of his high office by descending to the method® of w press booster, and ignoring the rights of parliament, of which he is the leader, Premier Borden has hardly shown qualificatjons which would fit him for an admiralty post in the Cana- dian navy. .
