CANADIAN THOUGHT.
Two Schools Defined by Lord Byng.
MAKING A NATION.
LONDON, May 10. The former Governor-General of Canada (Lord Byng), in a lecture at the Colonial Institute, said there were two schools of thought in Canada, but they were not antagonistic to each other. One was comprised of people who thought that the Empire was everything, and that their ideals and aspirations should be entirely subservient to the great Imperialistic movement. The other was comprised of people who thought that Canada should be before Canada within the Empire, and that the Dominion should be untrammelled from London. "Imperialism," said Lord Byng, "should not be thrust down other people's throats. Canada was now making herself a nation, and she did not want England to interfere or to tell her what to do. She wanted to know that England was ready to help her when she asked for help. She would ask when she wanted it. Everywhere in Canada the Throne was respected, and nobody need trouble about the annexation by America talk.
