" We want to give you the orders, " was the message delivered by a War Office representative to Canadian manufacturers, and he told them they were not half awake to the new Empire spirit of the great British spending departments. " There can be no doubt, " he said, 44 that the War Office would prefer to place every possible order in Canada. There would be less possible difficulty about the delivery, for one thing, to say nothing of the Imperial sentiment behind the placing of the order within t...he Empire. " l 1 Canadian Gazette, February 18, 1915. THE OLD SPIRIT AND THE NEW 199 " There is, " said a prominent Canadian Government official, " no limit to the willing- ness of the War Office to purchase in the Dominions under the Preference principle except alone the capacity of production in those Dominions. Where orders have gone to the United States, it is because Canadian industry could not compass them or make delivery within the necessary time. " An incident related ten years ago by a leading timber merchant who was Vice- President of the Timber Trade Federation illustrates the change that is passing over the Government departments in this matter of Empire trading.
