Martial Spirit of Canada in Gilbert Parker Interview
The Morning Post prints Parker on Canada's loyal action in South Africa. He says Canada’s loyalty is rooted in nation growth, not a burst, and that Canada must defend its own borders if Britain cannot assist early in a war. He notes a 35000 strong militia and predicts closer empire federation beyond simply raising the Union Jack. He envisions war-time federation linking Canadian and Australian cities to imperial military potential.
