The cabled review of the Spring canmaign by .the Military Expert of The Times. and a diagnosis by a leading naval authority, that has come to us by mail shows that:â€" (in land, the German army has yielded the. aggressive superiority, the control. The British army has done its share, and has done itwell â€"â€"in fact it. may he called a marvel of etl‘iciency and good work; but, they have been unable to accom- plish What they set out. to do, be- cause the plucky French army has failed. It is‘ stalled, worn out, and almost at the end of its offensive resources. This was foreseen -a year ago. The future depends upon the British l‘iolding on and making what progress they can, until the new American army come to their assistance in full force. The one thing We. must. do is to hold on in France, to give time for the reorganizution of our Navy. It must he made as eflicicnt asour new armyâ€"in the hope that will; Intivre intelligent direction, and in co-Operaticm, with the United States. we may devise effective nu- val tactics. At the outset, the Navy was more efiicient than the Army, but Churchill and Asquith. igmwing‘ the advice of experts. brought on disorganization, disas- ter and defeat, from which it has not yet recovered. Russia is out, for the present, at least. France is flone and the whole cause of Canada to-day is resting on the British Army. If we don’t maintain and strengthen it, we will fail. If we fail, we will, most. assuredly, have a German ar- my at Quebec and Halifax, and, if the British (Jim'ernment does not handle our Asiatic- relations more intelligently, we will have our pres- ent ally, Japan, attacking us at Yamcouver. This is a menace that must not he lost sight of. That many of our representatives at Ottawa are lightâ€"heartedly wasting precious time, discussing, whether, or not, we shall prepare the whole nation for defence, can only be due to ignorance of this situation. There is no doubt that the Members of Parliament, who Oppose real preparations, believe lthey are doing right. It is a fact, however, that some , of those, who are persistently . working against any further Pre- ‘1 Paration in Canada, are allied with ‘ persons, who in turn are associated With Powerful enemy interests. We hinted at this nearly two months USO. We. have had most extraor- dinary confirmation of it, right here in Canada this week. There are, iimmrtait reasons Wm we say no mnre on this at the present time; but it is just as true as any of the {statements we have made in the lpast, which were then regarded as absurd, but since proven. , The real facts must be brought before the people. 'We are .satis- filed a majority of them are Opposec' to conscription or other necessary preparation; because they believe there is no danger. Primarily, the British Government, past and pres.» ent, is to blame. They feared, and still fear, to let out the real facts. Canadians Who know, have every cor'iidenpe in Lloyd George; but . little in the administrative capacity l of Gurzon and Milner. Not oniy » have they shown little executive ability, but they hold themselves superior to the people. When the . latter began to realize how" efi'ective was the German naval campaign, â€"- ~\~ THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. Curzon thimble-rigged them with "Watch- Mesopotamia.” He. could not. have anticipated the exposure; made by the Commission this week. Sir Robert Borden has not toid enough. He has not given out even a reasonable amount of important information. If Parliament, and the people. of Canada. knew the real seriousness of the situation there would be no opposition to the full- est preparations. They would back up the Premier in a complete reora ganization of his cabinet; taking in the ablest executives in Canadaâ€"â€" regardless" of party or precedent -- and in the formation of a National Committee made up of the most capable leaders in all important walks. of life; Agriculture, Labor, Finance, Mamifacturing. to advise and assist him in taking care of the present. emergency; and to plan for the rehabilitation of the coun- try after the war.

But other considerations, probably, have an ell‘ect, such as the Canadian French political aspiration to c011_ trol the Dominion and the rival na- 111111111 tic ' hopes of domination through race. language and religion. 1119 Canadian French seem rather parochial in their conception of 11-orld afiairs, for the cflect on Car.- ada of the do11nfall of Britain and 1rance 11 ould be far-reaching, 11hetl1er English or French control 11 e113 established in the Dominion (New York Post." "The attitude of the French Caâ€" nadians of Quebec is becoming more and more inexplicable. Their riotous opposition to conscription sets a climax to a record of indif- ference. Since the war began Quebec has furnished only a frac- tion of its quota of volunteers, and, lately the merest dribble has come from the province. Recruiting agents have been insulted and men- :‘1cednnear Montreal. Now that many Canadian leaders declare that the IDominion’s army in Europe can be ikept full and the home industrics ;maintained intact only by governâ€" lment control over the dispositimi lot able-bodied males, demonstratâ€" lors have smashed windows, sol- diers returned from Europe have been attacked, and in some districts the authorities are reported to be considering the proclamation of martial laxv. French papers like L‘lslvenement are not definitely 0p- pnsed to crmscription; other papers as La Liberte, and political leaders like Bourassa and Lavergne, are fighting it, as they have more or less covertly fought. the voluntary enlistment of Canadians for over- lseas service. The ill-feeling disâ€" :played has its roots in memories as old as the wars between France and England on this continent, and a ' direct origin in the language the agitation of I more Imntroversy at I Bourassa.” (New York Tribune.) “Now, when she is about to go on a conscription basis. Canada real- ' s to what extent rePuctance to go to war may manifest itself even among a relatively homogeneous, unâ€"hyphenated people. There are two strains of blood in Canada’s pOpulation. But it is impossible to call either element hyphenated in the American sense. for the French Canadians have lived on Dominion “ - haanL-uk U‘duuuutuiu -...,_, - soil longer even than the English- Canadiane have. Yet with speaking no conflicting blood or: cultural ties (for France and Great Britain are ), the French-Canadians have shown a surprising disincliâ€" nation either to enlist or to support the war otherwise. They have practised the pacifism which our pacifists have so far only talked ,ferred for nearly three years be- :cause of the fear that it would bring about a clash between the En- glish-speaking and the French- speaking elements.” '11 -mfifl‘h‘fib Wi*l1 to the pro-German and the pacifist elements, both alien and native, in our population, English-speaking Canadians will doubtless now mod- ify their former critical attitude toward Us. Our predicament was for a long time graver than theirs. But we have extricated ourselves. The}; will extricate themselves also.” CANADA’S PROBLEM gi'l'l- sympathize» with CONSCRIPTION NOT THE BOGY MANY THINK IT IS. Much of ' the opposition, openly expressed Onsecretly felt, to the in- troduction of conscription for mi:â€" itary service has been based upon misconception of what. is really in- \"01\cd.1‘11e \3 0rd conscription has assomations \\ 1th tyranny and mi]â€" itarism and suggests arbitrar3 me- thods of raising lexies of men that are contrary to all our ideas of freedom and dcmocratis govern- ment. To suppose that anything of that nature is contemplated in Canada is absurd: We must. disre-~ gard the word and its evil associa-l tions and fix our attention upon the thing which the word stands for. The principle of ctmscription is the, very basis and foundation of civili- zation. It. means that. the communâ€" ity is entitled to certain necessary services from all the individualsl embraced in it. Taxation is a form of conscription. It has been con- fined in Canada for the most part to the maintenance of law and order and to 1,)r«-r\'idi11g means of educa- tion. That term of conscription is now applied and will be hereafter more stringently to pay for the 110â€": ccssary cost. of the war in which we are engaged. But the war cannot. be won by payments. alone. Men, young men, ableâ€"bodied and trained for fighting, are imperatively need- ied. Not all the young men are. tnecded, but at least. enough to‘ maintain our army at its due pro- portion in comparison with that of the other parts of the Empire and of our Allies. 7or this purpose a selection has to be made. Up to the present the selection has been made by taking those most willing. most eager to enrol themselves. whether or no they could lwst be spared from their families and «:wcupations. Such a process of selection has a}- ways its disadvantages, but it re- quires less than any other the in- terposition of the'community‘s con- trol. Now it becomes necessaryforf that control to be exercised. The? community itself will decide who “an best be spared from his ties and undertakings. private or public and take his turn at defending the community from the enemy that would destroy it. Is there any- thing unreasonalil’e in such a mea- sure? Its opponents have not been able to bring forward any objection to the principle that the commun- ity is entitled to the military ser- vices of its young men for its de- fence. Their Opposition has been , based on extraneous matters at- 1Iecting the mode of securing those services or the mode of bringing them to bear, and they have pro- fessed to doubt the ability of the communlty to ma‘ae the necessary selection fairly and intelligently. This is to cast. doubts upon our own intelligence and sense of justice. The cmnmunity is the general con»- census of all its individual mem- bers. Objections to conscription on any such ground fail to distinguish between the iunctions of the pee- ple’s. representatives in the gov- ernment ot‘ a country like Canada. . and the arbitrary rule of the sovâ€" ereign and his circle in such coun- tries as Prussia, under which the originally harmless word con- scription acquired its evil associaâ€" l tions. -â€".â€"-.
