Wasmixaroy Brrewv or Ton Ber, 518 Founteesta STuee } Wasmisaron, D. C., Aug. 20 The policy of this governmont from this time forward in dealing with Caouda is well defined, The minimum measure of retalia tion has ouly as yot been resorted to. What has been done does not bar more aggressive and damuging retaliation if there is n necess sity for it. It is probable that at no very re. mote period the retaliation by this country will bo extended to the transportation of goods 10 bond across this country if Canada maiotains her present attitude. Tho threat contamed in Mr, Herbert's letter that Can- ada will not cease her discrimination again: the United States if the president’s procla~ mation™s enforced, 18 extremely offensive to this government and it is felt that Canada ought to remember that whilo the Canadian Paciflc railroad is one of the strongost in the world now it would be worth very little if the outlet for its commerco through the Uunited States would be cut off, Thore s nd privilege enjoved by the United Siates through courtesy of nada whicn is of as great value as this of tranship- ment of goods in bond which we permit thirough our territory. Canada is to o lavge oxtent a sapper on this country for hor sube sistence and 1s an unprotitablo us well as a aisagreeable neighvor. ‘Ihere is no desire on the part of the United States government for tho annexation of that province with its vreseut dobt and tho present outlook 18 rather toward the cutting off of all relations rather than toward any bonds of closer com= mercial intercourse, Those best informed on tho subject suy that Canada will ba practically helpless ouce deprived of the priviledgés enjoyed through this country. Her population instead of increasing by a normal percentage is less than one-third what 1t siould be and she would be in u very bad position if compelled to rely on her own resources.
