This was the attitude which 'we should take Jlowards our problems and soive them along the same lines of progress. Mr. Lewis was not in favor of postponing the. building of a Can- adian navy for twenty-five or fifty years It was not as difficult a task as the building of the C.P.R. some forty years ago.
