CANADA'S ROLE IN A BRITISH WAR

Ottawa,

The "Ottawa Journal" comments: as follows on the bit debated in Parlament recently giving Canada) the right to neutrality in a war in which Britain is engaged,

"We doubt whether people who belleve in such a measure realise what it would mean, if they d they would understand the absurdity and madness of such a proposition. Actually neutrality would involve and must involve Canada's #bsolute separation from the British Empire, There could be no other neutrality——| none other that any combatant against Britain would recognise.

"But let there be no mistake about this. No Dritish war is going to find this country neutral. The contrary is written in the hearts of the over- whelming majority of our people, and no bill introduced in Parliament, and

no decision taken by any Govern-

ment In this country can alter or affect that reality,"
