In the debate on the first reading of the Canadian Nary Bill, Sir Wilfrid Laurior, the Dominion Premier, made some impor cant declarations. He said:
"I do not pretend to be an imperialist Neither do I pretend to be an anti-im. perialist. I am a Canadian first, inst and all. the time. I am a British subject by birth, radition and the conviction that under GOAL DEPARTMENT. British traditions my native land has found a security and freedom which it could hare found under no other reginto.
