George P. Gra ham, He noted that the Govern- ment had now apparently repented of its former intention of forcing general election, but before an ex ténsion of time was given the Admin-- istration should be honest enough tp take the people into its confidence and say what it intended to do in the extra year, One reform at least which might be brought about would be the frank and public repudiation by the tweén 1y-one supporters of the Government Of their Nationalist views in 1911 Against personal service for the Km pire outside of Canada Another courageous aet would he to vindicate the legitimate manufac turers of Canada by an investigation of the work of the Shell Committee, and the punishment of the middle- men and the mushroom companies, who should be made (o disgorge | their illegitimate profits. +A8 for his own connection with shell mak- ing, he declared that the company in which he had but a small interest sacured the order in the open market at a fair price, and had fromptly | turned out the munitions so urgently | needed, ! ---- Laurier Naval Policy Vindicated. One of the lessons of the war em- | phasized by Mr. Graham was the | vindication of the Laurier naval pol- ey. In 1910 Sir Wilfrid had pre- | dicted what. actually: happened - on | the: British"Colunrhia coast. It had | been left absolutely undefended, and | Japanese and Australian cruisers had been called upon to do what Cana dian built and manned erufsers might have done, The Laurier naval policy of ships for the defence of the coasts of Can< ada had become known by consent as the common-sense policy, conclud- ed Mr. Graham, It was now recog- | nizéd that if Canada was to become 4 manly nation within the Empire it must provide ships for the defence of Canadian coasts, as Australia had done for her coasts with such suec- cess that she was able to send her ships to the defence of the coasts of Canada. Under the, stress of war Canada had learned to know herself better and to realtze that it was our duty to work out our own salvation with- in the Empire ag a united people. In the old land artistocrats had shoul- dered rifles and fought heside the la- 'boring. men, and the war had brought them closer together In Canada all had come to realize that the great task was to weld all races more solidly and firmly into a 'self- governing nation within the Empire. Owe Seats to Bourassa. Ottawa, Feb. 2.--Paul Emile La- marche, the young Nationalist-Con- servative member for Nicolet, who told Parliament a few nights ago that Henri Bourassa proposed to win a Dominion seat at the next general election, yesterday contributed an ar- dent--and at times fiery--defence of | the Nationalist leader, and his lieu- tenant, Armand Lavergne. The House of Commons listened in stony silence, Mr. Lamgrche spoke in French, alternating biting cynicism with an almost impassioned fervor. He stood at his seat on the Govern- ment benches, and time and again rounded upon embarrassed Govern- ment supporters, accusing them of having formed an alliance with Na- tionalism to depose Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier "and the Laurier Imperialism - and the Laurier navy," and being afraid to carry out their bargain, af- ter they had "together accomplished the task." because of Ontario senti- ment. ¥ "You want to have Bourassa and gne shot as traitors," blazed Mr. Lamarche.
