Significant.
The Imperial institute, which Queen Victoria gave the highest sanction of her approval by opening it, is of great interest to Americans because it is part of a plan to federate and unite the British empire. Should this be brought about, Canada will cease to be a colony and become an integral part of the empire and be given adequate representation in the control of its affairs. The annexation of the dominion would then become a much more difficult matter and might involve a war between the two powers.—Detroit Free Press
