The former gave us our founders and colonist, but afterward disregarded :ind forsook us. The latter | conquered us two centuries ago, and {mposed her authority upon us, allow- | ing us, however, to bring into notice our competency and thereby to obtain our liberty. In fact, in what state were we after e were but a simpia colony entirely bmitted to the mother country. At hat time the Canadian government | | could make no laws, sign no treaty, nor even watch over the future of the na- tion without the decisive intervention of | England. This could not last forever. | Our forefathers vigorously protested but always | with a perfect loyalty, for the enfran- chisement of their nation, ‘Without having recourse to a revolution, as was the case in the United States, they con- quered the right to govern themselves. Then our mother country well under- stood that Canada could provide for it- self. After many partial concessions, | England gave us a suitable form of gov- ernment, or rather. she approved the | one that_our poiitical leaders had adopted, Hence, is it not proper for us to be grateful toward our second mother country who understood us so well and guided us with great ability part ‘of our gratitude for France, who has given us our existence? The constant labor of our statesmen, Cartier and McDonald. obtained us the confederation. This was a declsive step toward our independence. England highly approved the system grouping the provinces under a federal govern- ment and at the same time leaving to each province its particular govern- ment. * Afterward, the imperial confer- ences recognized the other liberties we claimed, the last clearly declaring the complete self-government of Canada. At the present time we form a {ree na- tion, in no way subject to any other, We also form a part of the “common- wealth,” a simple community of na- tions, equal in every way, which works, each’ for its own intercsts, while mu- tually helping one another, The Eng- lich Parliament only presides over this assoclation of varlous nations. Was not the idea of Cartier and M- Donald a masterly stroke? The con- federation, whose sixtieth anniversary we 50 joyously celebrated (wo years ago, is a form of government, a charter which gives our country full satisfac- | tion. It answers to the different needs | of & bi-lingual nation 'by _granting each race which inhabits our country the means of developing itself accord- | ing to its particular character, It al-{ ever, the contribution of eve we not owe to the federal system our liberty in unity, our peace and good un- derstanding, in spite of the diverss ideals of our populations? The Canadian nation has a special ethnic composition which assures her great advantages. Two remarkable geniuses are to be found. namely the Latin _genius and the Saxon genius. The Saxon genius, appanage of the English, is the true commercial and practical animating spirit. ‘The Latin genius, on the contrary, is literary and | philosophical. It is ours, French- Canadians This genius unites us in- | timately with France by means of bonds, no longer political, but intellec- tual and moral. What benefits must our country derive from two geniuses | so different? For a long while, a| struggle, useless as much as unfortunate, troubled our national peace and d ayed our prosperity. Fortunately this national rivalry seems to be passing away. Harmony between the two races will be a sure guarantee of develop- ment: for if the practical genius of the English unites itself to the intellectual genius of the French, together they will make of the Canadian nation a nation both original and complete. This is what we possess interiorly. Exterforlv, the ethnic situation ot Canada furnishes her the indispensible alllance of her two mother couniries. England remains a strong and powerful country in commercial life. Thus she | will be a precious help to our own com- mercial advancement, for our couniry, which has immense resources. needs ail the possible means to exploit them. France, notwithstanding her past hard- ships, always exercises a considerable intellectual ~ prestige over the world United to these two people, we shall share their influence. Today we speak the two most pre- vailing languages in the world; Eng- lish is the language of commerce, while French 1s that if diplomacy, which as- sures the most intimate relations with the great nations in the discussion of nternational problems. Is it not on account of these prerogatives of lan- guages that one of our own has been elected to the presidency of the League of Nations? Here is, ladies and gentlemen, what we are and what the work of past gen- erations has won for us. What must be said of the history of a people young and strong, descending from two glo- rious nations and who fought wiihout flinching for its liberty and its right: What must be said of a pleiad o ical men, of fournalists, of orators, of soldiers who have made a gre nation of a small colony? Lastly, what must be said of the history of two races, dif- fering in character, tongue and faith, who unite their intelligence and their efforts for a common cause, that is, the greatness of their country? We must confess that this history 1s beautiful, that it is sublime. It is more than a history, it is an epopee! It is the in- heritance that our forefathers left us. It is the fruit of their labor, of their siruggles, of their heroism. It is the gift of their hearts. In a word, it is their share. It is our turn now to act in consequence. We are consclous that the condition of our country is the most favorable of all. May we keep it intact and derive benefit from it! May we complete the union of these nations in Canada! It is especially our duty, young men in the twenties, who are Tightly called the hopes of tomorrow, to bear the light, enkindled by our ance! tors, to future generations, consecrating our minds and our hearts to that noble task. In our turn, let us do something for our country, so that these coming after us may find Canada more pros- perous and powerful, and still more glorious among the nations of the world! TEXTILE PROBLEM Industry Declared “Sick” by Methodist Episcopal South Conference. By the Associated Press. HIGH POINT, N. C.. October 26.— | The Western North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, tonight on record as favor- ing a Federal investigation into the en- tire textile industry of the United States, with a view to finding some way | to obtain a minimum living wage. The | conference voted to meet in 1930 in| Greensboro | The conference, in_whose territory | the greater part of North Carolina’s textile development is situated, adopted a report of its committce on industrial relations. The report was read by Rev. . A. Newell, presiding clder of the Gastonia district, in which there has | been much rioting and other disturb-| ances in connection with strikes. | The committce told the conference it had been hindered and delayed by nd mob action, which, it asserted, “have dis- graced our citizenship.” It also called attention to the fact that 20 per cent of the members of the churches of the conference were textile workers and in- | dividuals of the related industries. | “The textile industry is a sick in-| says the report, calling atten- tion to prices of standard mill strikes which, it was asserted, were 50 per cent under 'the quotations of nine years ago. “The oft-cited huge dividends do not st.” it asserted, “and are useful for | propaganda only. Very few mills have | made more than a reasonable return | upon the investment, while it is prob- | mace nothing in this period.” | At present the cotton mills cannot | pay a wage scale sufficiently large to wage,” the report added.

Glels >t Catholic University and Comdr. J. B. DeMarbois of the Upper Canada College at Toronto. Randolph Leigh, director general of the contest. opened the meeting short- ly before 8:15 o'clock with a brief talk, in which he reviewed the purposes of the contest. These principles, he said. | were the increase of respect for and | interest in good government and the medium of human intercourse. He introduced Dr. Friedrich W. von Prittwitz und Gaffron, German Am- bassador to the United States, who de- livered the opening address. “Competition of any sort.” Ambas- sador von Prittwitz declared, “is the best method of training physical and mental ability and of developing understanding comradeship, fairness |and mutual respect. This competition, furthermore to create in the hearts and minds of its contestants the feel- ing that they are also citizens of an international world in which they have to live together.” Presents Each Contestant. Following the German Ambassador's address Mr. Leigh presented each of the contestants to the audience. Later the youths were summoned to speak with the anthems by the Tech Symphony Or- chestra of the McKinley High School here, under the direction of Dore Walten, faculty leader. On the stage with the nine contestants | were, besides Mr. Leigh, the French and German Ambassadors, and Mr. Ham- t Canadian Min- ister to the United States: Don Orestes Ferrara, Cuban Ambassador; Constan- tin Brun, Danish Minister, and Dr. Don Pablo Campos-Ort first secre- tary of the Mexican embassy. Swofford Opens Contest. | Summoned to verbal battle by the strains of his country’s “Star-Spangled Banner,” Ben Swofford, Kansas_ City, spokesman for the United States, ked confidently to the center of the stage to do his bost to repeat the vic- tory which won him acclaim in the American finals last May. Delivering the same oration on_“The American Con- stitution and Its Framers,” young Swofford spoke with new command and feeling. There was new drama in the Missourian’s voice with which he sought to oppose the anticipated fire of his foreign competitors. Yet there was the same dignity with which he wrested the decision from a board of Supreme Court justices in the Spring. If he was fearful of opening the con- test he failed to show it and applause greeted his efforts. Gabriel Fouche, young: Parisian who told his audience he was delegated to bring a message to America from the youth of France, was second of the orators to bid for the champlonship. His message, delivered with the feeling for which his people are known, carried, as his topic_implied, “The Aspirations of French Youth These hopes, he said in French, are for a recognition of the necessity of a combination of the physical and the mental abilitics of his Testored.

Gladstone, Allen concluded, “was representative of the highest qual- ities in the British race.” Allen resumed his seat with the audi- ence’s approval of his efforts and those of the orators while the judges under- took the task of determining the victor.
