MAY DESERT BORDEN ENGLISH NEGLECT OF FRENCH CAUSES RESENTMENT. ay TVlerraph—Pr««« Association—Copyright (Received July 21, 6.5 p.m.) . OTTAWA, July 20. Mr Bourassa; leader of the Nationalist (French-Canadian) party in the Dominion House of Commons, speaking at Montreal and discussing the effects of annexation of Canada by the United States, said the endeavours would lead French-Canadians to believe they would be no worse off under the Stars and Stripes than under the Union Jack. Ho declared that English people in Quebeo do not learn the French language, and treat French speakers contemptuously. There are signs of a complete breach between the Nationalist party and the Bordenites, although during the elections in 1911 Mr Bourassa was accused of having sold himself to Mr Borden’s pro-British policy.
