CANADA'S SECURITY.

"Havuig one boundary on the Pacific Ocean, Canada cannot ignore Japan. She is gradually finding that Japan can be a very satisfactory client i£ humoured a little. Canada has shown that she is not indifferent to the organisation of some defence on the Pacific Coast against an eventual aggressor. In actual fact her security depends npon the United States, who would certainly not be indifferent were Japan to violate Canada's territory. This situation is taeitly accepted by the C&nadian people, who are ready to leave the matter in the hands of their two great proteetors. Canada's relations with Latin Ameriea permit us to measure, with the precision. of delicate scales, the quantity of Americanism (in the larger sense of the term) that Canada ean absorb. Although invited to become- a member of the Pan-American Union, where a place apparently is waiting for her, she has not seen fit to join it up to the present time. Her Americanism does not go beyond North Ameriea, and when it comes to proclaiming her adherence to PanAmerieunism she draws hack, owing to her Imperial allegiance." — M.
