FOSTER S INCONSISTENCY. HON. GEORGE E. FOSTER made an-able speech onthe naval question. He al- ways does make a good speech. But his defence against the charge of inconsistency in the stand he takes today compared with that which he took in 1909, while i ious, ean hardly be accepted by the public as sat- isfaetory. Speaking on this point in the House on Wednesday, he is reported as say- ing: te has been suggested that gentlemen who voted for that resolution in 1909 are inconsistent now when they support the proposition of the government as placed be- fore the house in that the resolution cut out tempdorafy or occasional contributions and in that it declared that the policy was to build a Canadian naval service and that the present policy of the government contravenes both of those, and therefore gentlemen who support it today are inconsistent compared with their action in 1909. The amendment which my right honorable friend (Laurier) moved, had in it the words the payment of any stated contribution , these words were exorcised and. the words that were put in were periodical contributions, different- fating absolutely between the time of need, the period of emergency, and the settled normal policy that should rule with regard to the matter. the alleged inconsistency disap founded upon it falls to the groung. That Mr. Foster and the other. members If that is borne in mind, all and the argument by the wording of the resolution. Foster on March 29, 1909, was as follows: graphical strong and growing peopl exposed coust line and great seaports. eloquent, statesmanlike and nonpartisan and offered an amendment of a more defin ite character. resolution: defgnce. ne House is of opinion that under the present consti- the and tutional relations between the Mother Country and self-governing Dominions, the payment of regular perfodieal contributions to the Imperial Treasury for na al-and military purposes would not, so far as Canada concerned, be the most satisfactory solution of the ques- tion of defence. The House will cordially approve-of any necesary ex- penditure designed to promote the speedy organization a Canadian naval service in co-operation with and close relation to the Imperial navy, eaten bythe -the tast. Imj and in full sympathy with the view world. 6ver the need arises, the Canadian people will be fou ready and willing to make any sacrifice that fs required to give to the Imperial authorities the most loyal and hearty co-operation in every movement for the mainten- ance of the integrity and honor of the Empire.

The Conser- yatives then turned around and would not follow the dictates of their own resolution and speeches. Now after nearly four years of delay they propose to give money to speedily help the British admiralty be- eause they believe they have seen an em- ergency, and make the first of their per- iodical contributions which they voted and spoke against in-1909. In that-year the emergency was as real, if not more so, than it is now. - Then the German seare was at its height. If ever there was occasion for an emergency that was the time. If ever the Kaiser had to be given an object lesson of quick united action by the whole Empire it was then, But Mr. Foster did not then propose an emergency. gontribution. He opposed it strenuously as his words prove. But now, when the emergency, if there be one; is not nearly so acute, he proposes to make a cash contribution and yet tries to make the people of this country believe he is consistent. A public man has a perfect right to change his mind if he can-show good reason. Foster has apparently changed his views, although he says he has not. His attitude is changed but he says there is no reason for the change as he does not admit He eer stands condemned of trying to re- concile what people will consider conflicting positions, without giving any explanation showing any change of opinion: -The-only explanation that can be offered is that po- litical contingencies make it necessary for Mr. Foster to switeh around and put the best-face he can on it. aR pe ee THIS DAY IN CANADIAN HISTORY: 5 DECEMBER TWENTIETH. The steel Cantilever Bridge, built for the Michigan Central and Canadian Southern raifways-across the Nis- gara River below the Falls, was opened on December 20, 1883. It was the first bridge of its kind to span Canadian waters. It has a total length of 910 feet, with a clear span of 495 feet between its towers, and is 245 feet above the surface of the river. The opening and testing of the bridge brought together great crowds of people, who waited patiently for hours, though the day was cold and frosty. Early in the morning elght heavy engines, coup- Jed together, steamed across the bridge. Later, people were allowed to walk about the structure till noon, when it was cleared, Son afterwards the signal was given for the long double train with smoke puffing from twen- ty smoke-stacks , to start from the Canadian side,. Eight engines were bunched in the centre, th other twelve being separated by gravel cars. Hyery fifteen feet the ponderous locomotives came to a stand, while careful observations were made, and it was one o'clock before the forward engines reached the American side, to be saluted with a deafening chorus of steam. whi lthe bridge had-tood the-severe test triumphantl v is of in THIS IS MY 10th BIRTHDAY.
