Excerpt from The Forum I am, as far as this question goes, up to the handle a home-ruler. We will govern our own country. We will put on the taxes ourselves. If we choose to misgovern ourselves, we will do so, and we do not desire Eng land, Ireland, or Scotland to tell us we are fools. But, furthermore, even in foreign affairs Great Britain fig ures less as the suzerain of Canada than as a motherly helper and support. If she negotiates Canadian treaties, she does it in the way Canada desires. And of late, as in the Washington treaty and the recent fisheries convention, negotiations affecting Canada are conducted by the aid of a Canadian envoy. So that in reality, if not in name, Canada has external sovereignty also. But her status of even nominal pupilage cannot in the nature of things endure. A free people must realize the condition and end of freedom, which is their own autonomy. And, without breach or jar, Canada will continue in the line of her present develop ment till she touches the goal of national destiny as a full-grown sovereign commonwealth.
