Shall it be that through the destruction of the Tariff as proposed by both Crerar and King, the development of Canada is to come under the domination of the United States, to be followed by gradual financial domination and as a consequence, political domination? Is Canada’s destiny to be that of a great free nation within the British Empire group of Nations, developing her boundless resources of mine, river, water power, forest, and cultivating her millions upon millions of acres of arable land? Is her develop- ment to surpass that of any other nation? Shall her manufacturing industries develop her minerals and raw materials into im- plements and goods for the benefit and comfort of her people and for foreign trade? Shall she become a self-contained nation within the Empire, her great railways interchanging, the pmducts of factory and farm among her own people, and her ships sailing every sea? Shall she maintain her integrity within the Empire and protect her farms and factories against unfair competition from foreign countries? IF THIS 15 TO BE CANADA’S DESTINY THEN CANADA NEEDS MElGHEN. On December 6th, Canada should once again protect her farms, her factories and her workmen against the unsound theory of Free Trade, and should hold fast to her reasonable Protective Tariff, her national entity and her British connection. On December 6th Canada should declare with no uncertain voice that she will not tolerate the false trade theories of visionaries and group leaders which tend toward her economic destruction, toward the separation of her people and the weakening of the ties that bind Canada to the British Empire. On December 6th Canada should demonstrate unmistakably to the outside world her fixed deter- mination to keep Canada for the Canadians.

The only prospect for peace now is said to rest on Sinn Fein’s conceding allegiance to the Crown, and the in- fluwce of the advocates of moderation has been invoked in a final effort to change its position.
