In a very real sense there are no front- iers left on the physical map. They must be sought in the world of the spirit and the mind. A country may have immense undeveloped resources, The economic depression of recent years has smitten every land impar- tially, the new as well as the old. Now, we old countries have for a long time had to husband our resources and think hard about our future. We have suffered so many set-backs, that we have become skilled in the tech- nique of disaster. But to the younger nations the question used to be simple Push the frontier a little farther back â€"-so ran the answerâ€"strike out new lines, develop new wealth; the wealth is there; it only wants hard work and enterprise to win it. I have no authority to speak of Canada to-night, as many of you have, for my knowledge of her is slight. And I am not going to conceal my ignorance with “Governor General- ities” which can be found in any reference bookâ€"about What she has done in the past in a hundred spheres of activity, or about what she has the power and the intention to do in the future. But, if I may, I should: like to say one word‘ about the kind of ultimate problem which she has to face in common with all the world. But if\ I may speak in all modesty, my countrymen have one merit as settlers: though they never forget their country of origin, they whole- heartedly accept their country of adoption. That, indeed, is true, I think, of all our British stocks. Can- ada has to-d‘ay, and has long had the fervent love of her children, and she has that pride of ancestry which is the best guerantee for a strong pos- terity. She is a mixed nation, like all strong peoples, though her popula- tion is not so widely mixed as in these islands of ours. In her French element she possesses one of those racial minorities which are of in- calculable social and cultural value to the Empire. But, leaving that out of account, her people are main- 1y of our four British stocks, and therefore they have already be- hind them a tradition of integration. One potent element is formed by my own countrymen from beyond the Tweed. I do not wish to dwell too much on that, for I remember the answer of the Australian to the Scotsman who was a little inclined to boastfulness. “You have a good many of our folk in Australia?” said the Scotsman, expecting to be told that they were the best element in the country. The Australian’s re- ply was “Yes, they are not our worst plague; it is the rabbits.” Canada is an old country, though her history is short compared with Britain’s But in one sense she is Britain’s senior. Constitutionally all the autonomous units of the Em- pire are to-day equal Sovereign States under one King. That is to say, they, are Dominions; and.I ‘of these Dominions Canada is the oldâ€" est and‘ Britain is the youngest. I am an historian, and therefore a lover of old things, and I am going to a country which is long-descend- ed. I shall be the 35th Governor General, if you count only from the conquest of Canada by Britain. But if you count from its first settlement by the gentlemen adventurers of France, I shall be the 5lst. There are not many nations which can boast of a more tempestuous and heroic youth. For a century there were Wars between French and‘ Eng- lish, beween white man and red man. For 300 years there has been a war which is not yet concludedâ€" the war of man against the wilds. I detect in their eyes an obituary solemnity. But when I look at others, my Canadian friend‘sâ€"many of them of old standingâ€"I realize that to- night is also the inauguration for me of something newâ€"a message of God- speed from those who know Canada to one who has little knowledge but abundant good wilL You have done me a great honor toâ€"night, for which I offer you heart- felt thanks. As I look around this audience I see some of my former colleagues in British politics, and, looking at them, I feel that this occa- sion, for me, is in the nature of a farewell to many cherished activities. Let me say at once that I rejoice at the opportunity which has been given me. I have served with Cana- dians in two wars. I have known them in sport, in business and in scholarship. I have seen enough of the beauty of their land to make me long to see more. If in any way, however humble, I can serve Cana- da and her people, I shall consider that my life has not been altogether useless. An address by Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor General Designate of Canâ€" ada, before Canada Club of London. Lord Tweedsmuir Talks About Canada more tangled wilderness of human fears and human perversities. It is a. great missionâ€"I cannot imagine greater. She has behind her an anâ€" cient pride, to the making of which Britain and France have given of their best. If she brings that high spirit Sneyd, Nelson Nail Driving phries. Ladies Tug i Team. To-day, as to her tasks then her success is as to measuring certain as the rising of the sun. go toâ€"morrow. can never be war? In this noble propaganda Canada has not been backward. What is the most impressive fact in the world to-day? I will tell you. It is the 3,000 odd miles of frontier between Canada and the United States utterâ€" ly undefended. That is a sign which all can read. It is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, a summons to a new and better way of life. For 300 years Canada’s story has been that of the slow conquest of the wilds. To-day she is still the pioneer, but a. pioneer in the over.- throwing‘ of a; more dangerous barâ€" barism, in driving a path through a marks our d‘emeanour.” First of all we present an example of disciplined freedom, of ordered liberty. In the second place, we present an example of nations holding fast to their traâ€" ditions, but facing the future with clear eyesâ€"at once rational revolu- tionaries and rational conservatives. And lastly we are a living proof that' people can dwell together in unity and peace, for have we not made in the Empire a League of Nations of our own, and ensured that over a great part of the earth’s surface there can never be war? In this task she is not alone, but moving and working within the great framework of the Empire. The Em- pire to-day, as we all know, is an executive partnership which involves the pooling of interests and the link- ing together of energies. Its prestige has never been higher. The words which Burke used 150 years ago are even truer to-day: “We are set on 3. conspicuous stage and all the world But if Canada has the vigor of youth, she has also the balance and the just perspective of maturity, for from Britain and France she draws the same traditionâ€"that great Medi- terranean tradition of Greece and Rome, which I believe to be the basis of civilization. She is no rootless people, deriving a fickle inspiration from transient fashions, but a nation broad-based upon the central culture of mankind. She has her own proud heritage, and she is. loyal to it, for the first virtue in a people or an in- dividual is loyalty to what they know and love. That I hope and believe is the prime quality of our Empire and of all its Constituent parts. I have said that the task before Canada to-day is more fateful and more vital than that struggle by which she first came into being. Then she was fighting for her bare exist- ence. Now she is assisting to preâ€" serve our hard-won civilization. She has to Win back the prosperity for herself, and in so doing she has to help to stabilize the world. It is a task which might well fire any pat- riotic spiritâ€"to be a trustee and de- fender of profound truths which the foolish have forgotten. but these are not wealth which can be easily and confidently realized; they do not become wealth until and unless they can be related to the de- mands and the uses of the rest of the world. A fresh economic and social mechanism has to be created, and the new countries are in this difficulty as compared to the older onesâ€"they have less experience of this kind of creation, and they have to improvise in a brief time a machinery which the old lands may have already construct- ed at their leisure. That is the problem of the United States toâ€"day. It is Canada’s prob- lem. It is in some sense the problem‘ of every people, and its successful solution depends upon how far a naâ€"j tion brings to the task a disciplined spirit, a stout heart and a clear head. I have no doubt as to how Canada will face it. She starts with immense assets. She is, as I have said, an in- tegrated nation, united long ago by her own act, and with her unity riveted and compacted by partnership in the enterprises of peace and the sacrifices of war. But she has also the vitality and the adaptability of a young nation. Can we forget what happened 20 years ago, when for a wholly novel type of war, she pro- duced an army which had no super- iors and few equals on any front? That army was the spear-point, you remember, in the first great step in the Allied advance to victory, the Battle of Amiens on August 8, 1918, and just because Canada’s reputation was so tremendous, it was necessary to mislead the enemy by pretending by the use of dummy soldiers, that the Canadians were in a part of the line 50 miles away. Can you imagine a higher compliment? Can you con- ceive a greater proof of national vitality? THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND Beauty Contest, girls 8 and underâ€" Beverley Kingdon.

The Women’s Association and Sun- day School held their picnic at Albert Iseland’s Flats when a very nice time was spent. The ladies of the W.A. held their regular meeting and tran- saction of business before the picnic. There was a program of races for the young people and smaller chil- dren of the school with the follow- ing winners: Married ladies race, Mrs. W. Orr, Mrs. L. Hadwin; mar- ried men’s race, Rev. Davis, F. Oliver; tots race, so many came toâ€" gether that the prizes were divided equally; girls under 12, A. McQuar- rie; young men’s race, George Car- ley, G. Davis; boys under 12, Master Davis; three legged race, M. Robin- son and Irene Hadwin; shoe race, Irene Hadwin and Roy Bowen, Hattie Diesman and Rev Davis; stepping off 25 yards, Chas. Diesman, F. Oliver; throwing rubber balls in pail, Mrs. Peterman, Mrs. Oliver. Then there was a peanut scramble for the little ones. Mrs. Peterman was pre- sented with a beautiful bouquet for being the oldest lady on the grounds. Lunch was enjoyed and this was the end of a perfect day for scholars and friends.

Scott (nee Ellen Gray, a former Teston girl), when many useful and beautiful gifts were presented to the couple. After the gifts had been unwrapped and passed around Mr. Scott on be- half of Mrs. Scott and himself thank- ed? their many friends in a few well chosen words. Lunch was served and an old time dance followed with Mr. Wm. Walker as floor manager and George Taggart furnishing the music. Mr. and Mrs. Bremner and son Frank are visiting Mr. Bremner’s sister, Mrs. Corfield. Young Peoples Society Sunday eve- ning service was well attended and the program enjoyed. After the opening hymns Mrs. Taggart led in prayer, Hattie Diesman took the Wor ship period, responsive reading Psalm XIX, Margaret Oliver read an inter- esting paper “He went out to live like Jesus.” The topic was “Flashes from the Living Message,” given by Miss Florence McCluskey and was quite fitting- for Citizenship evening. The boys sang a chorus and‘ the girls followed with their chorus humming the tune for one stanza. E. J. Hitch- cock presided. Thistietcwn TESTON “These clearing house arrange- ments (arrangements by which We agree to take commodities in ex- change for commodities) are impos- sible unlESs we are prepared to accept the manufactured goods of other“ countries to displace Canadian pro-‘ duction. If we are willing to do that,} all we have to do is say so. . . .” We must take payment in goodsâ€"â€" that has always been true. There is no other means, under heaven, by which we can be paidâ€"and Mr. Ben~l nett says: “We can never do that.” So the people of the other countries must go without wheat and the people of Canada must go without goods and the unemployment situation continues as it was While these votaries of a strange creed tell us that the nation can get rich by passing laws which proclaim to the world our unwilling- ness to do business. “We shall get rich,” they shout, “by refusing to¢ accept payment for the goods we sell.” Was madness ever equal to it? What a savage creed! Will the world ever return to sanity? It will. Not‘ for all time shall the mass of man-‘ kind strive for wrong-not always Trade is an exchange of commodities. When we shut out importsâ€"we close off exports (By R. J. Deachman) Japan has spoken and we are to lose another market. Japan has im- posed a. special surtax on wheat, lum- ber and other commodities. There is nothing surprising in this â€"We asked for it and the blow fell. In 1930 our exports to Japan were $30,475,000â€"by 1935 they were al- most cut in two, $16,935,000. Mean- while imports from Japan dropped from $12,537,000 in 1930 to $4,424,000 in 1935. The figures are for fiscal years. But the whole thing is typical of our attitude towards foreign trade. We need marketsâ€"need them desper- ately. Canada is a great exporting and necessarily a great importing country. All our physical machinery, docks, harbors, railways, is predicated on the idea of a great nation doing a. big businessâ€"our political con- ceptions are those of a hermit seeking a hole into which he may crawl. The totals given above show a de- cline in exports of over $13,000,000. The exports of wheat alone to Japan during the last five years have been as follows: 1930 . . . . . . . . . . 8,400,000 bushels 1931 . . . . . . . . . . 7,600,000 “ 1932 . . . . . . . . . . 6,800,000 “ 1933 . . . . . . . . . . 4,997,000 “ 1934 . . . . . . . . . . 4,343,000 “ And Belgium is another country from which‘ we are likely to hear one of these days. Our exports to Bel- gium in 1930 totalled $21,692,000, by 1935 $11,780,000. Imports fell from $13,019,000 in 1930 to $3,613,000 in 1935. How long is the madness to last? If we may take the word of Mr. Ben- nett it should last forever. Speaking in the House of Commons in June 1935, he said: Total . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . . . . . . $457.74 Just 158 per cent and Japan rea sents! Why shouldn’t Japan resent it? This is a hypothetical caseâ€"but I have a copy of an invoice on my desk before me as I writeâ€"an invoice of Japanese silk.' The actual levied rate is 244% per cent. Is there any surprise in the attitude of Japan“! We asked for it and we got it. Total Canadian exports to foreign countries in 1914â€"pre-War daysâ€" totalled $192,900,000. Under ration- al policies this trade was built up to $740,600,000 in 1930. Then under the driving force of tariff repression it dropped like a shot partridge to only $318,100,0000 in 1935. The tariff was not the only weapon in this struggle for the destruction of markets. By arbitrary regulation the Government placed false values upon imports. Buy to-day goods valued at 1,000 yen in Japan and the account can be met in $290 Canadian money, but the customs officer will look you straight in the eye, tell you that you must pay duty on a valua- tion of $490 and in addition to the duty there will be, of course, the 3 per cent excise taxâ€"a duty levied under another name, plus the 6 per cent sales taxâ€"both levied upon the duty paid value. What does all this mean? It means that on an item dutiable at 40 per cent on which, if the code of civiliza- tion still prevailed, the duty on your 1,000 yen purchase would be $116, you must now pay: 1. 40 per cent on valuation of $490 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $196.00 2. Dump dutyâ€"the difference between $290, the real value, and 13490, the arti- ficially set price . . . . . . . . 200.00 3. Sales tax on duty paid value, 6 per cent . . . . . . . . 41.16 4. Excise taxâ€"3 per cent on duty paid value . . . . . . . . 20.58 LOST MARKETS shall we live in the blind conception: that to injure our brothers and our- selves is the first, the last and the only commandment of Canadian citizenship. Eve was the first woman to jump to a conclusion. That was the beâ€" ginning of what is called woman’s intuition.
