Mr. Borden landed at Quebec last Sunday on his return

from his visit to England, and had an enthusiastic reception. He has made several speeches since, of which the most important was that at the banquet in his honour at Ottawa on Monday. He said that he did not mean to make a party speech, as that man must be foolish indeed who did not recognize that the rank and file of the Liberal Party were working loyally for Canada. We hope that we may take these generous words as heralding a naval policy which shall have the sanction of the Liberals and be in every sense above party. For the first time, Mr. Borden remarked, five Canadians had been allowed to sit at the Imperial Defence Committee and to discuss affairs of great importance to the Empire.
