Till Canada possesses dockyards and arsenals, ordeis will be placed in England.The article adds—" Canada is opposed to contributing a Dreadnought or making a contribution, because she is suspicious that under a Itadicalr Socialist British Government such contiibutions will be no real increase of Britain's naval strength."
