Simpson the negative. .The debate was introduced by a ' short "address by Donald Ross. who ' pointed out that the subject was a 4 comparison between the English and 1 French people as colonizers, and not ` aquestion whether the English had ' greater colonies than the French. It was admitted that the British col-- ` _onies were much larger than the French. The decision of the question would be determined on two points: First, the national characteristics of i the two peoples, and secondly", a com-l parison of English and_ French col- onies under similar conditions. The progress of Quebec under British rule was cited as an instance of what the French people could do when the autocratic French government was removed. , ' 31,, '7--- 1:-.. LL. ..l!:...'..n&A..\ J-AIR bears eloquent testimony to the suc- remuveu. . A ,`_ Mr. Lay, for the affirmative, toldlir of the _contentment that existed in I the British colonies. In part, he said; 1: Two hundred years ago France and h England were neck and neck as re- i` gards colonial interests. Today Er.g- ; land.ies herag over 13,000,000 t square miles `and a population of 400,000,000. French possessions are comparatively insignicant. These results are not anaccident, but be- cause France, unused by her past history to free institutions, attempt- ed to build her colonies in a policy of exclusionrand failed. The re- `. nunciationof the claims of conquest`|~ by England established happy rela~ 1 tions between her and her" colonies, She is the only European nation who ,4 has been able to show vigorous re-'1 productions of herself, such as Can-- 0 ada, South Africa, Australia and ` New Zealand. They showed their love for their mother country by rallying round -herin the Great War. India isundoubtedly the greatest ex-l ample in history of a colonial pro- vince. While step by step trainer! for wider freedom, she has been pro- tected from internal" and foreign danger by EngIand s, benecent rule.

Dr. Simpson, in his address, con- ned himself _largely to a description of the national characteristics of the two peoples. He showed that the qualities required by colonists are energy, adaptability and thrift. These qualities, he claimed, were possessed in a large degree by the French peo- ple.` - He also claimed that the Eng-_ lish people had a dominating, `un-1` compromising character that .pre-! ve_nted them front establishing 1 friendly relations with the natives 1 and from remaining on good terms" with their neighbors. He claimed 1 that as a people they were exclusive and could not. adapt themselves to I new conditions, consequently they were poor colonizers. The French '. colonists in the early days were and still are a frugal people, industrious ` in a quiet way. They probably have not been so highly educated, but they r are` ?devoted ' to their :church, obedient to their priest, moral in their lives. There is no countryman who takes as much pride in hisland and his lit- tle property as the Frenchman,,'said Dr. Simpson. ' "Mr".
