T The reference to the "independence of Canada" gives the plot away. Canada could not in any way be more independent than it is at present, except that for a time it might function outside the British Commonwealth of Nations. Canada today does not pay any tribute of any kind to the Emâ€" pire or the King, and in every way governs and directs itself. Indeed, in past years, instead of Britain taxing Canada the fact has been that Britain has taxed her people to support naval and other protection for Canada and Canadians. The present situation does not alter the case. It is all right to say that today Canada is fighting the battle of the British Empire, but it is equally true to say that Canada is fighting the battle of all the United Nationsâ€"of all civilizationâ€"and particularly and especially, the battle of Canada. Had Canada not been a part of the British Emâ€" pire when the war opened, Canada today would be under the domination of a cruel and foreign. power. Those who imagine that the great neigh-wl bour to the south could or would have saved Canâ€". ada from such a fate, have only to look at the | ‘case of the Philippines. The United States was powerless to save the Philippines from the aggresâ€" sor. With the best will in the w011d the United States would have been unable to rescue Canada, from any similiar peril. ' The record of Premier King is such that it is | not possible to altogether disregard the report of, his new plaftorm. The result in North Grey this | week. however, should make him pause.

In the dark days of the war, The Advance ventured. I' the opinion that Britain could not be defeated,, lbeca.use she had the men, the money, the 1eâ€"1 | sources and the unquenchable spirit of fleedom: ! and enterprise and determination that would reâ€". , fuse to be overcome. The same idea appears to‘ hold good for the days after the war is won. In a recent issue The Imperial Review, of London, ! lEngland gives some interesting facts and com-] parisons. In land area the British Commonwealth : of Nations is the largest group in the world. It| covers 13,000,000 square miles, compared with 9;â€" | 000,000 square miles of Soviet territory, or 4,000,000 square miles of United States possessions, Or 3,â€" 000,000 square miles of Chinees land area. There | are 550,000,000 people in the British Commonâ€" | wealth of Nations, as against 457,000,000 in China, ‘ 170,000;:000 in Russian territory, and 132,000, 000‘ in the United States of America. In resources and | potential strength and wealth, the British Comâ€"| monwealth of Nations is equally fortunate. In’ minerals and agricultural products it is by fali the greatest single producer in the world. Its | ‘ output of industrial goods is enormous.

In human qualities, in enterâ€" ‘prise in energy, in courage and resourcefulness, the Commonwealth need bow to none.

He kept the ideals of youth‘ through his seventyâ€"four years of active life. He icame to the North in 1894, living in Haileybury until 1913, when he took up residence in Iroquois | Falls. He was a pioneer of the North in the true | sense of the word. He served the people in many ; | public and semiâ€"public ‘capacities, always with, ‘ability and integrity, and usually without any reâ€"| ward except that of service to others. It wouldi take much space simply to catalogue his public| efforts. He was active in the work of the Board. of Trade and the Associated Boards of Trade.: For several years he was secretary of the Old Agei Pension Board for this section of the North, emâ€"| bracing a territory that extended from the Que-i bec boundary to beyond Hearst, and from below | Swastika to James Bay. The old people in this | wide area found him a loyal, patient, etic friend. Nothing was too much work or trouble for him as member of the Old Age Pension Following the Porcupine fire of 1916 and the Cenâ€" tral Temiskaming fire of 1922 he was prominent and helpful in relief work.

It sometimes appeared that on each occasion ;when there was public work to be done, especially{ | volunteer work that had no reward or glory, exâ€". ‘ cept the honour of doing it well, the call would almost automatically go out for Frank K. Ebbitt. ‘In his own town of Iroquo!s Falls he served on 3 the school board, on the council, was mayor of the town from 1925 to 1930, and in recent years was ! clerk and treasurer of the municipality. He was ian active member and supporter of the Ohurch ‘of England, was probably the highestâ€"ranking Mason in this area of the North, and had been specially honoured for his long service to Oddfelâ€" lowship.
