Navy is Essential Churchill States Equality in Minor Craft WouM Mean British Uiferiority WINNIPEG~SPEAKER Britain Grovsring in Wealth, Health and Power, He Says Winnipeg. â€" Spealcing hera recent- ly, Rt. Hon. Winston ChurrhiU, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the Baldwin Government, declared that most people were under the impres- sion tha^ Great Britain was down and out, and had seen her best days, but this was opposite to the true state of affairs. "Britain," he asserted, "is steadily growing in wealth, bealtli, pJjwer and edu.-a'ion. There never was-a time of such prosperity." Referring to the "dole," Mr. Church- ill quoted Kt. Hon. J. H. Thorrias' de- scription of it as "The most perfect scheme for the support of the unem- ployed in any state or country." The speaker said the men drawing this money were the sanu men who paid the premiums into the "dole" fund in brighter times. Summing up the pessi- mistic reports of the uneii'.ployment situation, Mr. Churchill said: "There is nothing which would lead =inyone to believe that these reports are true. The miners are the symbol of ..he pow- er of uur race, man-power and en- durance." REMAINED IXTACT. In opening, Mr. Churchill referred to himself as a traveller seeking knowledge, leisure and change. In the course of that leaich he spoke of having vis'ted Winnipeg nearly 30 years ago. "What changes those years have seen," he continued. "In no sim- ilar period have war and science so affected mankind. The structures of empires have been swept away in Rus- sia, Germany, Austria and Turkey, but we have come through intact, un- ited and stronger than ever." Mr. Churchill declared that the greatest interest of Great Britain was in the maintenance of peace. "We need it," he asserted. "Peace is our object and our aim." He quoted Presi- dent Hoover's statement that "net in 50 years has the outlook for world jwace been so bright." Mr. Balfour had said that peace •would coni.iiiue in all civilized coun- tries. The speaker spoke of subver- sive propaganda. "By the nioct art- ful means we would be coaxed into giving up our rights. Alarmist propa- iranda would frighten British states? men, and even the people, into aban- doning their rights." NAVY ESSENTIAL The British Navy, he detiared, was essential and vital to the security of the Empir?. "When our navy was supreme, did it abouse our power? " he inqu-red. (Cries of Nj.) By the agreement of 1921 the British and American battle fleets were made equal, Britain retaining hsr superior- ity in minor craf:, an exception made necessary by the dissimilar positions of the nations, the United States com- pact in its vastness and self-sustain- ing, while three-quarters of the food consumed in Britain was dependent upon the mainter.ance of uninterrupt- ed commerce on the seas. "Eqiality," said Mr. Churchill, "in the minor craft would conseqiient'y mean British inferiority. That I should deeply regret. Yet I can see nothing which should prevent peace and gcoc'.will between the two nations despite the disparity in minor naval craft." He next dealt with Egrj'pt, describ- ing how that country had developed and prospered under British influence as contfa.'ted to the conditon of an- archy and baroarism which existed before British garrisons were estab- lished there. H3 pradieted that when these garrisons were withdrawn to the Suez banks there would be a slow re- turn of the country to the rack and ruin from which it had been rescued. SINGAPORE BASE. Speaking of Australia's dependence upon the Suez Canal as a link with the Empire, he said Singapore was simply a base designed to safeguard contact with Australia and New Zea- land. Singapore was not a threat er menace to any nation, "least of all to our ally Japan." The British Empire would .ease to be a reality if th^re were no physical navy to "bind Aus- tralia and New Zealand to the othir parts of the Empire. "By means of Singapore we return to them the pro- tection that they gave us in the war. That is the only argument for Singa- pore." DANGER OF "REDS." Mr. Churchill spoke vigorously of tho "new danger of Communism." "We must act with courage and re- peat the old inv.vation: "Briton, hold your o- r!' " t"om!iiuri;;;.'!. ?aiJ Mr. Churchill. are not merely the representatives of a doctrine, but a planned campaign of destruction of existing institutions. Mr. Churchill then dwelt with Do- minion status. "United, we can meet nil things and, therefore, why not hold together?" The Imperial Conference of U)it> swept away all obstacles in our minds. "All the self-governing Dominions have equal statu; with one another ami with the Mothtr Country. A self-governing Dominion of the Em- pire enjoys fuiler freedon. than on« 0; the Amcri.-an stat-'s. We are held together firmly only by a spontaneo'is ' and voluntary allegiance. It is your crcTwn and our Empire, even as it u ours. Guard it and cherish it as it \ has guarded and cheriiihed you." ', Contit^^ing, he said: "Other nations may look oa our Empire and say: "It will not last.' But, it has .asted you. It has passed through those .ires built to encompass its destructif^n. The ties •f Empire are duty, sentiment and tradition. The ordinary citizen helps forward the cause of Empire. It is the »olden circle of the Crown that link* us to the power which the British Empire has fouaded for the joy, peace and glfry of .nankind." CHARMED BY LAKE. Kenora, Ont. â€" Fa3ci:iated like the leader of Britain's Labor Government, by the beauties of the Lake of the Woods. Rt. Hon. W. S. Churchill, for- I mer Chancellor of the Exchequer in I the Baldwin Government, arrived in ; Kenora recently for a brief visit, and i in his own characteristic Churchill , way, "wanted to buy an island right I away." Arriving by special train, Mr. ] Churchill and his party were taken for a most enjoyable trip on the Lake I of the Woods, and like Premier Ram- I say Mac Donald, he was at once capti- vated by the beauties of the lake, and I becam.' most enthusiastic. Mr. Mae- I Donald may or -nay not have estab- j lished a precedent in praising the I Lake of the Woods, but Mr. Churchill ! wa-s, if possible, more enthusiastic, ] and his desire to "purchase an island" ! was most emphatic and most sincere. j .After visiting the summer home of 1 James Richardson, the pa'.-ty viewed i va ious beauty spots on the lake, re- 1 turning to the summer home of Hon. and Mrs. Robert Rogers. They returned by special train to ' Winnipeg at 2.30 p.m. Kenora citi- > zens are hoping that at some none ' too far distant date they will- be able .to welcom; the distinguished states- man again to Kenora not only as a ' visitor, but as a summer resident.
