The  L  ssue  It is.generally, admitted that a  General Election BeemS inevitable unless Premier- Borden  weakens and decides to withdraw  his'-Naval Bill.  "f In View of,the possibility of an  election,' it -becomes ��������� the- plain  duty of every Canadian Citizen  to' fully inform himself on the  issue between the two' political  . parties^  ._"-'���������  In'studying the "Naval- Question" however, it must not be  forgotten-that'Premier Borden's'  policy- of. cash contribution is in  direct contravention to the agreement entered into by the Dominion and the~B-ritish" Admiralty at  the Imperial Conference of  1909. This fact is made plain in  the following article which we  take from the Toronto Globe :  ��������� THE DOMINION ON THE ���������  ���������PACIFIC OCEAN .-  Ohe'of the moit objectionable  _feafcare3 of the Borden naval proposal is" the  way   in   which  it  ignores altogether the" interests  and responsibilities of the Dominion of Canada.on the Pacific  ocean.     These  interests were  taken into account and these responsibilities   were   definitely  fixod, as between the Dominions  and the British Admiralty, at the  London conference of 1909, and  . if the Borden scheme is set aside  ^now. they will certainly not be  ignored in the next negotiations  between the British and Canadian  governments on the subject of  Cunada'a contributions to Imperial defence on the high seas.  ���������  According to Mr. Pearc -, the  Australian Minister for Defence,  the Borden proposals now under  consideration involve a deliberate  breach of faith on the part of  both the Canadian  government  and the British Admiralty with  the Australian government. The  fact that there has been a change  of First Lord of the Admiralty  and of F'rst Minister in this Dominion may explain but it cannot extenuate such a violation of  a carefully   considered,  clearly  understood, and explicitly'defined  contract.    There is  abundant  justification for Mr. Pearce's as-  Recently the New Zealand  government informed the Colonial office that if it was thought  desirable to retain H. M. S. New.  Zealand in European waters, the  Dominion Avotild readily consent  to the vessel's world tour being-  postponed; To this Rt. Hon.  Lewis Harcourt replied:  "I am happy to be able to assure you that there !are no  strategic or political necessities  THE ADMIRALTY, AND "NOT.for such a decision, and that the  WITH THE DOMINIONS. Clearly what happened was that the  Lords of the Admiralty, convinced thatthe "fleet unit" plan  was the best for-the Empire,  PROPOSED IT TO THE DOMINION REPRESENTATIVES,  and that it was accepted by them.  That the Admiralty were right  then, and that theAdmiralty and  Borden government-are wrong  now, will ,be- found" to be the  opinion of the great majority of  the Canadian electors if. Mr. Borden and. his CDlleagues have the  courage to face them.  .The best course for Canada to  take-now is to bury the contribution; proposal '���������' deeper than  plummet ever sounded," and rejoin Australia in -her courageous  proposal to do her share, in defending the interests of Great  Britain ��������� and "of the' over-seas  Dominions on the- Pacific ocean  without ignoring the Atlantic in  the arrangement.     Mr.  Pearce-   Among the .many changes that  concludes his statement with an I have recently been made to the  battle-cruiser which > bears the  name and was provided by the  patriotism of the government and  people of New Zealand can proceed on her appointed course.  "I am, however, desired by His  Majesty's government to express  -through you to the Prime Minister and government of New Zealand their deep gratitude'for the  offer made, which they are happy  to find it is not, under existing  circumstances,���������' necessary' to  adopt."-  In other, words, the Colonial  Secretary makes it "plain that  ample provision is being made by  the British' Admiralty for the  safeguarding.of Home waters,  and that no emergency exists except in the mind of Mr., Borden.  The Admiralty memorandum  bears out this view.  Provincial Elections Act  expression of the collective  opinion pf the Australian ministry on the subject. The "fleet  unit"- scheme, he says, "can be  adjusted to meet any development in-the Canadian and New  Zealand naval policies," and he  expresses the hope that '' the  three countries may yet fall into  iine for the purpose of promoting  this unity 'of action." Mr. Foster is likely to: hear, somet ting  interesting on this subject .during  his sojourn in Australia.  Provincial Elections Act, there is  probably none so obviously unjustifiable as is- that whereby  Sub-Section 5 of Section 11 of  the old Act is struck out and  the following substituted therefor: "In the case of the first  register of voters, the same,  made up as ahove, shall be certified by the said Registrar and  forwarded, forthwith to the Provincial Secretary, who "MAY"  order the same to be printed,  and the said register of voters  shall be the list used at any election which may take place before  the next revision has been com  piled after each revision and certified by the Registrar, they had  to be forwarded to the King's  Printer,  WHO WAS COMPELLED TO  PRINT THE SAME,  and by Section 20 of the old Act  the King's Printer was bound to  furnish -for 25 cents a copy of  printed lists for any  Electoral  District.      Under   the   present  amended Act it is discretionary  with   the   Provincial   Secretary  whether the lists will .be printed  or not after each revision.    Thc-  Government we know from past  experience,    have    declined    to  furnish  parties  with  printed  copies, of the last revised Voters'  List as required by law.    Now  the Act is so worded that they  are not obliged to print them and  may simply do so on the eve oi  an election when the least possible use can be made of them by  their opponents."   It will readilv  be seen that under this new Act  it will be impossible for oppon-  ents-of the Government who are  not, furnished  with   lists  after  each Court of.Revision to intelligently revise the list on the two  dates in the year set apart for,  that purpose.   There is only one  way provided by the new Act  whereby an elector may obtain a  copy of  the Voters' List after  each revision, and that is under  Section 9, which  provides that  the  Registrars of Voters shall  furnish written copies of the list,  or any part .thereof, for the sum  of 25 centsper one hundred words.  Assuming that there are 3,500  registered,voters in the Skeena  district, and" each name on  the  list, with descriptions, etc., will  take up about four words, it will  cost $35 for anyone to obtain a  complete   copy   of   the Voters'  List  for  the district.    A  more  brazen attempt to prevent  the  public from seeing and examining  and correcting the Voters' List  until the eve of an election can  hardly be conceived.
