Sir Charles canhoi undorstand tho demand for Droudiioughts nml cannot avoid ihiuking thai a foarful responsibility will rest on thosJ who disturb or destroy tho compact entered into ut tho Imperial Dofonco couforouce ou this vitally important question. Tho Times editorially says lhal Sir Charlos Tuppor's letter should contribute strengthening concord between Laurier and Bot-don on iho uuvulques- tiou. The Time-.

In lhe ubsiiuci such u proposition is indisptuble, in ihe abstract it applies to any nml every lorm of co-operation or contribution for ilie purpose of imperial dofenco, but in ibe coooroto ii is certain tlio eoiisidi'1'nlions und motives whi,h have served to bring ubout the present situation will also serve to maintain nud develop it."
