The trials and tribulations of the press oi Canada from the hectic days of the revolutionary war up until the present time. and the fighting spirit which characterized the llvcshnd cf- forts of Canadian editors and pub- lishers down through tile years, was _told 1n a stirring mnnncr by Hon.‘ LieuL-Colonel J. H. Woods. managing i director oi the Calgary Herald, and Canadian chairman of the Empire Press Union, xvhcn h-e spoke on "The Contribution of the Press to the Na- tional Life of Canada" at the Thurs- day morning session of the Canadian Chamber of. Commerce convention.

Speaking at the morning session bl’ ‘the convention, Colonel Woods laid: "I learn both from the agenda of your meeting and the wording of the ppind invitation which was extended ab me to speak here today. that the [lneral object of this conference isto It forth tho contributions towards the national life of Canada. that have pen made by various forces within our country.

slon. Joseph Howe it was who start- ed the Halifax Nova Scotlan, and who attacked the irresponsible magistracy of the colony. He was arrested for libel and pleaded his own case. was acquitted and carried home onthe shoulders of a rejoicing people who realized that a great victory for free speech had been won. The history oi Nova Scotia and the story of Joseph Howe were so merged for hali a. cen- tury that Howe himself became an institution rather than a man. It is probable that no other man in all our country's history had so continuous and potent an influence upon the ev- ents about him, and his most import- ant fighting was done. as most fight- ing in Canada has been done, through the columns oi‘ the newspaper he ed- ited. The public life of the Maritime Provinces throughout the 19th cen- tury was controlled and guided in great measure by its public press. Turn with me to Quebec. whose lit- erature was born in tragedy, and whose press has always been vivid and full oi literary art. For nearly a century the people had been cut oi! by England from the literature of France. Under Frenchrule they never even had a secular printing press among them, and their poets moved among the people like the bards oi old, conveying pathos and humor and beauty of vision by word oi mouth. Their real literature began with jour- nalism, and throughout their history their had been a vital connection be- tween them. Quebec may indeed be justly termed the cradle of Canadian joumallsm, as journalism is the cradle of Canadian literature. But-it has not been in the brilliance oi its style, frequently marred by invective and abuse. that the French Canadian prcsss has its chief claim to honor. This has rested rather in the courage and virility with which the editors oi that race have contended through nearly two centuries for liberty of i-Millht and oi religion and for the ""9 llrlflliipies of democratic govern- ment.

thoughts and wise in their public ac- tions. Indeed it is obvious that they were not always so. At the same time, it is only through such fires as these that the ideals of a nation are purl- fled. and the press of Lower Canada stands today as a bright example oi loftlness in vision, courage in expres- sion, and self-sacrifice in material prosperity on the part of those who werg engaged in it.

“In the year 1810, the grandfather oi the present Premier Tsschereau of Quebec, one oi the editors oi Le Canadian, was confined for three months in the common jail for hav- ing advocated against Sir James Craig ideas concerning liberty of speech and oi the people which are today a part of the common founda- tion oi our structure. And yet it was not long afterwards that this same man. as commander of the Bruce re- giment, fought at Chateaugay as a colonel in resistance to the American invasion. This simple incident, one of many that I might recall, serves to show the spirit of that great sec- tion of our Canadian people who have stood equally for the principles of freedom in speech and politics and for the upholding cf the British Em- pire.

Sir Wilirid Laurler himself in his early daysliid more at journalism than at law,’ and no doubt acquired his passion for public service and his wonderful fac- ulty of debate in that occupation.

"Names like these jump to the lips when one thinks oi the contribution '0! thc press to the upbuiiding of Can- ada. And there are others who came further west, offshoots as reporters qr employees from the big papers of the east. As far back u 1859, a Toronto Globe reporter who came to Fort Garry founded the first paper in the North West Territories oi Canada: W. 1". Luxton, who started that great daily, the Manitoba Flee Press. was one of the foremost pioneers oi our west. Hon. Frank Oliver, who packed his printing outfit in an ox cart and hauled it from Winnipeg to the little village of Edmonton, was an example oi the indomitable spirit that hall made this country what it is. and his Iwwllilper. the Edmonton Bulletin, passing through many vicissitudes, still lasts. to remind our people, not only oi the progress that Canadahas made. but oi the fortitude and enter- prise upon which it was founded.

“when the first gold miners of British Columbia penetrated tothe wilds oi Cariboo. they were accom- panied by l. printinglplant. and the Carlboo Sentinel was published among them as perhaps the first newspaper in that province. Since then there have been 100 valiant papers there that have started and failed-started most oi them with the aspiration of removing a wrong or bringing about a right-started with the keen desire for service to their country. The wrecks cf journalism lie thick along the shore of Canadian comme w. ft is true that many oi the ventures were unwise. It is true that few of them were even reasonably financed. but it is none the less true that among them they have contributed in no small measure to the literature. the 11061-17. the beauty of life and the freedom oi conscienceof the Cana- dian people.
