SOME articles by well-informed writers have appeared in various magazines during the past year on the part Canada is taking in the present war. The purpose of this paper is not to duplicate what has already been written, but rather to deal with a phase of the subject which has received little or no consideration, namely, Why does Canada participate in the war? What is the psychological cause of her sacrificing her money and her men so lavishly in a war which at first sight is only indirectly hers? British citizens in all parts of the Empire need not be told that Canada took this step of her own free will, in conference with, but under no pressure from, the naval and military authorities in Great Britain. Canada is not part of an imperial military machine, such as we see exemplified in the German system, but a British colony taking her place in the Empire under the triple principle of 'self-government, self-development, and self-defence.' One of the rights of self-government bestowed upon the Canadian people by the Mother-Country is the control of its own military forces. While the command-in-chief is vested in the King, the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa holds the reins of control. If, then, Canadians help to keep the trenches in the battle-fields of Flanders, it is because the Dominion herself voluntarily sends her men thither. And-as the Canadian militia cannot be compelled to serve outside the Dominion-if Canada's sons are giving their lives for Belgium, France, and Britain, it is because they volunteered for that service.
