gives a Foremost place to the disclosure of the True character of the traditional Friendship Between the United slates and there is no country in which a political prejudice lives longer than in the United writes the North american reviewer and he not Only makes Good this assertion with abundance of but discusses at length the Peculiar conditions in the United Stales which give political prejudices such the tradition great Britain was the enemy of the United suites held Sway from the Days of the revolution Down to the Spanish writes the reviewer it is hardly an exaggeration to say before the conflict with the idea of revising in the Light of present Day realities the traditions bequeathed by the revolution and the civil War would have been regarded by most americans As the International results of the Span ish War created from Maine to Cali fornia a Surprise so ingenuous As to be positively for the first did it Dawn on Ameri cans that it might not be the height of

Ever in the legend that rus Eia was prepared to resist any intervention by France or England on be half of the Confederate the legend itself sprang from the fact that in 1863 half a dozen wooden vessels belonging to the russian Fleet did act ally drop Anchor in new York har not a single line can be found in the Washington archives to connect the arrival of those vessels with the crisis through which America was it is an Assumption absolutely unsubstantiated by any Evi Dence in the Possession of the admin so far As i the Only if reference it to any understanding Between the russian

decisive we have been As Fred that the commander of the russian Squadron had sealed a copy of those orders must surely let the russian government produce it it will not dare because from first to last the whole tale is a pure and yet for a whole generation the legend has held gaining new Power and Confidence by the Mere magic of the adroitness of successive rus Sian ambassadors at Washington in striving to perpetuate and foment everything tending to keep great Britain and the United states apart has from the russian Point of View been the tradition of russian Friendship for the United states has been made to play a part in All the tradition is now completely its destruction began in the antagonism in material Aims Between Russia and the United states which first arose couple of years ago in the far several incidents happened to hasten it a Small but irritating War of the russian swoop on Manchuria with its menace to United states the outrages committed by the russian troops after the occupation of the Kishineff massacre and the whole question of russian treatment of the and lastly the illuminating tissue of broken equivocation and shifty deceit Woven into recent negotiations and reproduced in the dealings with shift iness and falsehood which forced Japan to make the sympathy of the United states is now More strongly against Russia than it was Ever with her tradition of Russ american Friendship is no longer in existence to be made use of in russian game against great Brit work of the mounted it will generally conceded that commissioner the officer to command of the Northwest mounted knows More of the actual conditions in the territories than the conservative members of parliament who knew no better than to attack the Dominion government for providing for an increase of the in the course of that in which Blunder was piled upon Blunder by the at it was intimated pretty plainly by one prominent member of the opposition that the conservative policy involves abolition of the mounted if any of these gentlemen who considered it Good politics to at tack the mounted had read the annual Blue Book dealing with the Force which Lay on their it would have saved them from some of the egregious displays of ignorance regarding the Northwest which they commissioner Perry writes in his annual covering in the Blue which is dated january 25 last the increase of

Pacific measure in reply to Borden dealt very effectively with the matter of the control of rates Over the new Road by the government my Friend Borden made the statement More than once in the course of his remarks if i understood him and it has been explicitly stated by our friends of the conservative party in their press and in speeches they have made Here and that the control of which is provided for in connection with the carrying on of this is not Many arguments have been presented to the House and the country up on the basis of that i should have thought that this con tract was so drawn that we would have been spared the necessity of wasting any time in the discussion of that sections 38 and 39 of the contract Are sufficiently now i have heard the assertion that All the lawyers of this House put to Gether cannot now sit Down and draw a clause which will be More effective in giving parliament Complete control of the rates and of the traffic upon that Road than this parliament controls because parliament controls the if parliament is not satisfied with what the government the remedy is in the hands of if we choose to nominate or appoint a railway commission for the purpose of Dis charging these functions we can do we have done if we Are not satisfied with the Way the railway commission acts or the principles they adopt we can embody new embody them in the railway act and compel the commissioners to observe there is no Way by which the government can be Given More com plete control than is Given by this it has been suggested in connection with the same subject that the Power which the Manitoba govern ment has under the contract made with the Canadian Northern which came up Here for ratification some two or three years is a More effective control than that we possess under this i submit that the facts Are the exact opposite of such a state the Manitoba government has a contract with the Canadian North Ern railway which so far As it is effective gives the Manitoba govern ment the right to control the but in order to make that effective they had to come to this House and have legislation to ratify and now that they have it ratified All that they have is the they have no legislative Power Over the Canadian Northern but simply the Power to enforce the Power under such contract by such measures a Are open to but in connection with the contract Between ourselves and the it puts the company in such a position that it can never raise the question of vested it is a consenting Power of the exercise of the jurisdiction which we we have a contract which binds them to consent to the exercise of the and we have the legislative Power behind which we can exercise at any As we see of syndicates disposing of the is if is a Resolute Fosnot to be baited that
