A NATION
Ottawa, Ont., D.c. 2q.? 1 The Inde
pence of Canada is now being openly
discussed and in a measure promoted
before some of the most important pub
lic bodies of the Dominion. Today the
idea of Canada as a nation is looming
lirge on the public mind, and it has in
a very short space of time marvelously
changed public sentiment in that re
gard.
Speaking before the Canadian club ?t
Ottjwa, J. S. Ewart, K. C.. of Toronto,
predicted that Cinad i would yet fill an
independent po-i.i-n in the word.
Then she wou'd pursue either one of
three course* ? a union with the United
States rs an independent republic, a
union with Gre it Britain as an inde
pendent monarchy with her own sover
eign, or an independent monarchy with
a'lezUnce to the British sovereign.
Canadian opposition against the Im
perial government was directed not
against the king, bit against the colo
nial secretary, who was generally Ig
norant of colonial matters.
Get your couume ready for the New
Year's Masquerade.
