CANADA'S NAVAL POLICY
THE DEFENCE OF THE EMPIRE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Ottawa, March 19. Mr. Borden, in a statement regarding Canada's naval policy, said that the existing establishment would be kept up. The Government intended to embark on a scheme for protecting adequately the coasts of the Dominion and also helping the defence of the Empire. Mr. J. D. Hazen, Minister of Marine, declared that the contribution from Canada towards the Empire must be grounded on a basis agreeable to Canada as a self-respecting part of the Empire. The navy must be undivided and work together as a whole. All parts of the Empire would be at war if a single part were attacked. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's policy in this respect had been thrown overboard, Mr. Borden pleaded for a greater voice in the Empire's councils. The policy ultimately fixed would be presented to the whole Dominion for the people's decision.
