OPEN LETTER TO LAURIER.
HIS GREATEST THEME.
PRESERVED IN SYRUP 0E BEAUTIFUL WORDS.
The “Sunday Times” recently published “An Open Letter to Sir Wilfrid Laurier,” in the course of which it thus addressed the Canadian Premier: Empire is your greatest theme, and you preserve it in a fine syrup of beautiful words. In IS9G you deliberately turned your back on the United States, thereby gaining the position in which you have since been an ornament. You vested your support in British Canadians, and at the same time contrived to retain the- support of the Quebec provincialists by resisting Canadian sentiment that was favorable to helping the t Imperial Navy. You have for several years successfully played the part of facing both ways, and if you are sapping Imperial interests you are also undermining Canadian nationalism.
