Mr. Bourassa, speaking at Edmonton, said that if the Canadians supported Mr. Borden's contention Canada would be bound to contribute to the British' navy, because if an emergency existed Canada would be binding herself to contribute whenever the emergency or supposed emergency arose. This was fatal to the upbuilding of a definite national policy.

He warned : Canada that she could only be bound to provide for her own defence. Such was. the Chamberlain idea, and he was one; of the greatest Imperialists. >
