Toronto, Ont., Dec. 30 —T|ie
Toronto World, which opposes
the present liberal government
iat Ottawa, has a startling rdi
torial today under the heading
I “Canada on the Biink,” u
which it warns the people if
this country that times are oiifii
cal, so far as the maintenance
of Canada as a free independent
and integral portion of North
America is concerned. The
World says :
Unless Canadians are fully
alive to the situation and speak
out in no tin ertain way, they
will find themselves between a
grasping annexation mevement
in the United States, having for
its end the domination of the
whole continent, and a great
party in England is prepared to
make almost any sacrifice to the
United Slates in oonsideration
of some kind of support of Eng
land in her race with Russia.
France and other European
powers.
The World then refers to the
recent speech at Macon, Ga., of
Ms j'r creneral James H. WiL
son, of Delaware, in which thpt
gentleman expressed the hope
that he “would see the day
when our starry 11 ig shall that
everywhere in the fr z.-m north
to the sunoy uii„, e (lj f Central !
, America.” Then The World'
, proceeds :
Silieve that these words
'al Wilson only show
thw opinion of a great (
jf Americans when once
(elite for exj a ision is 3
in the direction of the ’
id if once they get it J
