Imperial Government to .send Canadian troops
abroad to further Britain’s scheme of self-aggran-

a telegraphic message from London of February
25, to the effect that Cecil Jlarmsworth, British
Under Scerctary for Foreign Affairs, had announc-
ed in the House of Commons that he was not
aware of the alleged opposition of Canadian labor
unions and jarmer organizations to sending Ca-
nadian troops to Russia to fight the Bolsheviki.
Commenting on Harmsworth’s statement we ex-
pressed the opinion that the Cana would
“manfully oppose this latest outrage which the
British imperialists are about to perpetrate.”
Since then certain incidents of a very serious the
nature have taken place in I ary camps,
which would indicate that uot alone are the Ca-
padiaans unwilling to bave themselves

that the days of imperi:
