The fool that rocks the boat always forgets that there is a great deal more water than boat. The little fellow who is told that he must choose whether he will travel his own way, or with the big fellow who personally did all he could to thwart his business ambi- tions; and who chooses the big fellow in the belief that he is serving his own permanent interestsâ€"well; it doesn’t seem much use telling him he is at the parting of the ways. The American says, “Train with me.“ Come my way. Never mind the plans: you have been making for yourself}? “an -OA-‘ Whaf - will you reply? Can you teach him anything? You can. If you; were Canada’s spokesman this is about what you would say: “UVv-v .. - “Permit me to offer you the lesson you taught me. When I was a national: infant I thought I needed your help, and that without it I could not attain} the stature of a man. I wanted to sell; my goods to you. You turned your back on me. You did it many times. You showed me how to rely on myself: and my kinsmen across the seas. I did not know what I could do till I tried. ; “The last time I sent my represen- tative to you he came back with theI story of your own hardness, and with the news of the sure foundation on which my prosperity could rest. His name was Laurier, and he informed 'you, he informed the rest of the world, ithat I had turned my back on the hopes that had centred in you; and: had turned my face to British busi-; ness, and was building railways to; make secure and permanent that same; business. ' “The difference between what I: thought I needed, a long time ago, and what I now know I can do without, is 'the difference between a poor, timid farmer looking for a loan and that same farmer turned_ bank director. 7“I admire you.

You don’t hesi- tate to tell me you want to control my trade. I don’t intend to have it con- trolled. You had your chance when I was young and green. I’ve got a country that hasn’t all the advantages of climate and variety of resources that yours has. But it is one of‘ a world-wide cluster of countries that have the greateSt possible part to play in the world’s history. It reaches out to the Old World from its Eastern courts. It touches all the wealth of Asia and the Islands of the Sea, from its shores on the Pacific. 1 have an asset in the Old Land that you have torteited. I have a stake in the Orient that you cannot h0pe to emu- late. I 1337"." a_ destiny, Which a course, unfettered by eithnéIEEZnts with you, will help to make gun-mus, You tell me that I am at the parting ways. So let it be. You go your way; I’ll go mine.” 1DY9 WhiCh a enPanglements v-Owâ€"cno- __ The American is pre-eminent in the. world for his readiness to change his method of regarding questions or: trade and of politics. He thought hq' could freeze Canada to himself by a; high tariff. It didn’t work, so he tries Reciprocityâ€"which we asked for long; long ago. ; If we go back to it we show that we don’t adapt ourselves to changing conditions. We have outgrown our notions of commercial dependence on? the American. We must not be caâ€"i joled into going back forty years forl our ideas. Sir Wilfrid Laurier leaps" backwards over 1907, 1903, 1901 andf 1897â€"years in which he emphatically‘ repudiated reciprocity. He is like a‘ venerable man who goes out to meet an old sweetheart and expects to find her young and blooming as she was forty years ago. Three. ' Their unbounded faith In the future. Sir Wilfrid has had his spells of this Splendid quality. He once said, “The Twentieth Century belongs to Canada.” In conformity with this he said, “The best and most effective way to maintain friendship with our American neighbors is to be absolute- ly independent of them.” Last winter President Taft said, “Canada is at the parting of the ways.” Canada is ex- pected to make reply, “Thy way, not mine, 0 Taft.” On the reciprocity question Sir Wil- frid spoke again, only four years ago he declared to the Imperial Confer- ence, “There was a time when we wanted Reciprocity with the United States . . . We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all 0111 hopes upon the British trade.” The future was to be as the past had beenâ€"a development of com- merce, of social and national senti- ment, east and west, and not predomi- nantly north and south. We express- ed our confidence in the future. Noth- ing was to draw us into the seductive embraces of the United States. We began a new transcontinental railway that will cost three times as much as was intended as a proof of our dis- tinctiveness from the big neighbor. And then we began to play his game. From turning our back upon him we began to turn our back upon ourselves. When you become afraid of your Fu- ture, good-bye to your Future. Four. Their determination to Hoe their own Row. I never heard of a man who chose hoeing as a holiday occupation. I never liked it when I was on the farm. But you can’t have a garden without plentiful use of this familiar compan- ion of the backache. It’s the hoe that puts potatoes and beets, carrots and beans, and all the vegetable luxuries on the table. It was protection of young indus- tries. The United States decided to make the most of their own resources by helping industrial expansion with a tariff. They became the greatest man- ufacturing country in the world. They have done it _hy 13081118 their own row. What was the hoe 1n the natio development of the United States? â€"vâ€" â€"U 'â€"'-- VVVH 1U". Canada took a leaf out of their book. She could not have had her big in- dustrial cities any other way. Her home market would have been a negli- gible quantity if she had been content to be merely a getter of raw material for somebody else. The Americans want her raw mater- ial.
