Excerpt from Canadian National Problems, 1913, Vol. 45: The Annals

The political status of a province in the Canadian confederation is Clearly defined in the British North America act and relates solely to matters Of property and private rights. It is not strictly per missible to speak Of British Columbia and British international affairs, for the reason that provinces, as provinces, have no inter national relations. The people Of British Columbia are affected by external affairs only as Canadians and through their local forms of administration have no rights of interference. In such matters the federal authorities are very jealous of even advice from local authori ties. It is tendered sometimes by resolution of the legislature and is only effective to the extent in which it may be regarded as indicative of local sentiment. If it should happen that the local administration is in political accord with the federal administration - that is, in respect to conservatives and liberals, as parties are constituted - the former will naturally exercise a much stronger influence with the latter in matters affecting a particular province than if the opposite was the case. This is especially true if the local leader of an adminis tration happens to be, as in the case in British Columbia at the present time, a man Of outstanding and commanding position. Sir Richard mcbride, the prime minister of the Pacific province, is in political accord with the Right Hon. R. L. Borden, prime minister of Canada, and, for instance, has taken a very positive stand on the question of naval defense, now agitating the whole of the Dominion Of Canada, in so far as it relates to the defense of the Pacific coast. It is not too much to assume that the attitude of the former has had a good deal to do with the attitude Of the latter in respect to that phase Of his naval policy, an outline of which he has just presented to the House of Commons.
