Referendum Would Settle It “Then the naval question was first introduced in the House of Commons a motion to submit it to a~ referendum of the people was almost unanimously defeated. Both of the political parties felt sure of their ground, the Conserv- atives anticipating general approval of their policy, and the winning of future elections on their record in the mat- ter ; the Liberals hoping to successful- ly block the proposed measure and to regain power. When the bill came be- fore the Senate, that body refusedto ' pass it, stating that the people should be allmved to express an opinion upon it. Now comes no less a person- age than Mr. Z. A. Lash, K. C., advo- cating a. referendum. In a recent ad- dress before the Canadian Club of T. -. ronto, Mr. Lash declared-that the gav- ernment should, before putting any naval :polgiey‘linto effect, submit that policy to ‘a‘ vote, for the approval or disapproval of the people.

The - 2results of the bye-elections in Chatea- guay, South Bruce and South Lanai-k cannot be taken as indications of the feeling of the Voters of those constitu- encies on the Borden naval policy, be- cause other influenceslikwere at work. At the next generafeléction reciproci- ty, or some form of tariff tinkering to -meet the new United States arrange- . ment, is certain to be the issue, and a voter who wants the naval policy of 'one. party and the trade policy of the other will be in a quandary when he goes to mark his ballot, and in a worse .quandary when the 'election is over. But the naval policy is not the only question that should be submitted to a referendum.
