TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Tele phone Adelaide 0107, H, D, !fresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN US, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, aa = "SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928 haa : CANADA'S HERITAGE ) -- "Nation Building" is the subject of a forceful presentation on this page by Bishop Lloyd, of Saskatchewan, who pleads for a well-defined policy of developing Canada as a British country, In the influx of foreigners to the Domin- ion which has followed the restrictions upon immigration imposed by the United States, Bishop Lloyd sees a menace to the fulfilment of Canada's obvious destiny as a British na- tion within the Empire, He points to the great difficulties with which the United States has to cope as the result of the "open- door" policy which has made that country the melting-pot of the world, Certain it is that we cannot view with equanimity the rapidly increasing propor- tion of our foreign-born population, and sooner or later we shall have to adopt mea- sures to stem the tide. The point we are called upon to consider--as we see it--is not whether it is the feeling of the country to preserve Canada for Canadians, whether na- tive or otherwise British-born, because there is little if any responsible division on that score; but how long we intend to drift with the current, It was a policy of drifting that eventually forced the United States to enact legislation which is creating all kinds of difficult situa- tions, arousing bad feeling, encouraging petty despotism, promoting graft and cor- ruption, costing a colossal sum to put into force, and serving at best to dam the flood after the country has been over-run and the damage has been done, In the life of a nation, as in the affairs of an individual, procrastination is a costly failing, With the example of the United States to guide her, Canada will have no ex- cuse for making a melting-pot of herself, One has only to reverse the situation and figure out the course the United States would have adopted half a century ago had they stood where we stand today, and had they had similar experience to guide them, The colonization of the United States was a de- velopment unique in the history of the world, and any criticism of lack of vision would be presumptuous, Not so with Canada, With us there is no excuse for failure, as we have but to scan the pages of American history "to find all the precedents and guidance we ; There is something about Canada and things Canadian which inspires lofty thoughts and high ideals, The very dimen- pions of our country suggest breadth of vi- gion, Inspiration comes to us from hill and yalley, mountain and forest, river and water- fall; from the great lakes and seas which en- : girdle us; from the broad plains of ogy fer- tile provinces; from our illimitable natural resources, We find it in the atmosphere; it fs part of our climate, It is unthinkable that great Dominion, handed down to us yes- y, 88 it were, by the Fathers of Confed- on, should ever become a melting-pot of ign elements; unthinkable, for instance, it could develop such a seething cauldron anarchy and outrage, crime and corrup- n, banditry, barbarity and bestiality as go, with its insensate and impotent op- posi to people in happier state, It is Canada's proud heritage to be a self- roverning nation' within the British Empire. inestimable privileges of that inherit- are placed in our hands only for safe- pin Glorious traditions are ours.

Fighn, | fo copditions disclosed by 43: v2 propagation of British principles, and the preservation of our own country for our own race, would be to fail posterity and invite anathema from generations yet unborn. Bishop Jloyd may rest assured that his timely warning will not fall upon deaf ears. Not lightly was Canada upheld for Canadians by Canadians throughout the four long years " and more of the Great War. Not lightly will this fair Dominion, preserved at such sacri- fice, pass to the "mongrel element" and the "melting-pot" of alien domination. WHAT THE STORES MEAN TO THE PUBLIC On political issues the world cannot agree: in matters of religion there are eternal dif- ferences of opinion; all people have ideas others think lack sound reasoning; but on one point we all agree: everyone wants to see his home city prosper and grow, The way to a growing, prosperous com- munity is through good stores, And the way to good stores is through trading at home. Buy away from home and watch your city die. Support local enterprise and watch it thrive, Some experts contend that good trading facilities build population and real estate values; others say that good stores follow population; all agree that local prosperity can never come until adequate trading facili- ties are established, No place was ever built up by money sent to mail order houses or spent in the neigh- boring city. They are the dollars that build the big cities and their large mercantile for- tunes, A large part of the dollar spent in the home community remains there, It travels from home to the grocer, to the butcher, to the dry goods store, to the hardware mer- chant, and so on around the whole wheel of home trade, Spent out of town the dollar has gone for ever, Every community likes to take pride in its stores, And yet those stores, which are expected to keep up to the community stan- dard, do not receive all of the shopping dol- lars, Stores are what the customers, not the proprietors, make them, SCHOOL DAYS APPROACHING Young Canada is now bending its efforts to getting the most out of the remaining days of the long summer recess, The boys and girls of school age are packing all the fun possible into what is left of their vaca- tion, The holiday season is a glorious time for the average school child, Summer camps, resort visits or motor tours, daily plunges, long days for play, and other amusements galore are their happy lot. And those who find profitable and pleasant employment are not unhappy. However, the good times will not end with the first day of school, Fortunately, most children like to attend school, They do not find it all work and no play, Some eagerly await September and are sorry when June comes, Modern teachers are conscious of two du- ties to their pupils, They must not only edu- cate them, hut they must interest them in education, Their task is not an easy one and they cannot hope to succeed with every pu- pil, School athletics have done more than any- thing else to maintain student-interest, The athletic type does not always get the most out of studies, but take away sports and you drive these from school, Student-interest is a by-product of school spirit, which is a derivative of athletics, There is but one virtue: to help human beings to free and beautiful life; but one sin: to do them indifferent or cruel hurt, The love of humanity is the whole of moral- ity, This is Goodness, this is Humanism, this is the Social Conscience, --J, William Lloyd, bit of Verse THE DAY'S SUCCESS « When sunset falls upon your day And fades from out the West, When business cares are put away And you lie down to rest, « The measure of the day's success 7 Or failure, will be told « In terms of human happiness " L And not in terms of gold.

London Coroner, Mr. W. H. Whitchouse, at Green- wich, ; The mother said she gave the child the ice-cream because its five-year- old sister was having scme, and she cried for it. ein The Coroner: You know it is a most horrible confession to make here to say you gave your child these things, Thousands and thousands of pounds are spent in the borough each year to train people how to bring up their children, and yet you do this sort of thing. Didn't you expect something to happen after giving the baby ice-cream? The mother: I did not think any- thing would happen. It was stated that the other child was taken ill after cating the ice- cream and was under medical care. Dr, Arthur Davies, pathologist, of Harley street, said the diet was most improper, and as the result showed, dangerous. He had no doubt that the food given was responsible for BISHOP LLOYD ON NATION BUILDING Able Plea for Development of Canada as a Homogen- eous British State - [An open contribution to the newspapers of Canada by Rt. Rev, George Exton Lloyd, Lord Bishop of Saskatchewan.) According to the census re- turns, and counting the popula- tion of Canada in the way the census does it, by racial origins, we see that in 1871 those of Bri- tish blood or origin were 60.5 per cent. In 1881 (when I first set foot in Canada) it had fallen to 58.9 per cent. By 1901 the pro- portion of Brtish blood had fallen still further to 67 per cent, and twenty years afterwards, when the last national census was taken, it was only 55.4 per cent, Those of French origin were roughly one half of the British, and the foreign element in this country had risen from 8 per cent in 1871 to a little more than 16 per cent in 1921, In the last two years and a half there has been a tremendous rise in the number of these foreigners, especially from central and southern Europe, and it is this fact, brought about by the so-called "railway agreement" and the rigid enforcements of the U.S.A. quota restriction, which constitutes a national problem for Canada both on the open prairies of the West and the cities of the last, The Leading Question In the building of any new na- tion the first question must be, will it be homogeneous, of one nature in its blood, or will it be that the | down ncar the heterogeneous, a mixture of all na- tions, in other words, a melting I poi, Some newspapers in Canada | fre rather found of using this idea lol a "national melting pot" in | their editorials, although on the very next page the same paper will warn every farmer to do the | opposite with his pigs and cows, A well known lawyer in Chicago | has recently written a book of 500 | pages, on "America, A Nation ot Confusion."

Leander's nightly feat. To make mat- | ters worse, the Princeton captain's | swim was timed, it being duly rec- orded that he swam from the Sestos cliffs in Europe to Abydos on the Asiatic shore in 54 minutes and 3 seconds, using a backstroke all the way, and made the return trip mn less than 58 'minutes. As further proof of this modern Leander's qualifications, it may be added that and no tender hours between trips to refresh himgfor the swim home, The seventeen other American swim- mers contented themselves with a one-way trip, It seems almost too bad that these athletic young men should reduce A.L.

Every night he dared the swiit currents of the Hellespont to swim across to the cliffs of Sestos, guided by a torch in Hero's tower, (It will be obsery- ed that the Princeton champion re versed Leander's nightly round trip in his feat the other day). One night, Hero's torch went out. Lean der's strength failed him and he per- ished. The waves carried his body to the foot of the Hero's tower and the grief-stricken priestess hurled herself down to die beside her lover, If Leander had been a modern, athe letic young man, he might have been able to finish his swim without aid he probably would have expected Hero to be sufficiently modern and athletic to do her share of the swim- min--and the world might have lost the tragic beauty of their love story, A machine that talks mechanically has been invented, But what is real- 11 King Street East, Oshawa -- StoBIE-FORLONG &(O STOCKS BONDS GRAIN ead Office: Reford Buildin AND WELLINGTON STS TOR S, F.

As the Britsh Tommy in the trenches would say: "Nice dawg that, he ain't got no guts.' That would be the heterogeneous dog, the product of the "open door" and the "melting pot.' . Keep Canada British The essential question before Canadians today is this: Shall Can- ada develop as a British nation { ¥ithin the Empire, or will she drift apart by the introduction of 80 much alien blood that her Brit- ish instincts will be paralyzed? Is Canada to remain a homogeneous British nation lke she was in 1901, or is she to become a second South Africa? It is perfectly true that Canada can never be a really homogeneous British nation like New Zealand, because of the original French in Quebec with their language and customs. But we need not add to that inherent difficulty, manufact- uring more heterogeneousness, by deliberately bringing in these thousands of dissimilar foreigners to add to our problems. England bas paid dearly for her foolish but idealistic policy of the "open door," and two-thirds of her troubles today are caused by the invasion of floods of Continen- tals who abused her liberty and made it license. The United States are seriously trying to repair their mistake of the "open door" and the "'meit- ing pot," but it is very late and their crowds of hyphenated-Am- ericans will not cease to perplex for fifty years to come. And the rigid application of their remedy, the Quota, is causing our flood.
