In the same way any recrudescence of revolutionary upheavals in Mexico would enormously increase the difficulties and perils of the attempt.

On the other hand, success in bringing about with Mexican cooeperation a condition of political security and comparative stability in Central America would augur well for the success of the larger and more difficult attempt to perform a similar work for the whole American hemisphere.

In case such a system were constituted, Canada should most assuredly form a part of it.

Yet she could not form a part of it without a radical alteration in her relations with Great Britain.

Canada is tied to the British Imperial system, and her policy and destiny depends upon the policy and destiny of the British Empire.
