muir Yesterday

A stirring adds-ex on Canada's war aims was delivered yesterday afternoon by His Excellency, Lord Tweedsmulr, Governor General of Canada, before the Women's 0on- adian Club at Toronto.

His Excellency ex raced his pleasure at the priviege of od- dressing, for the first time, a Wo- men's Canadian Club, He then

"A Governor General, ls you know. is very limited in his choice of subjects. There are many matr- ters on which he dare not touch. matters of controversy, above all, matters pf party controversy. Po- litics in the ordinary sense are forbidden him, and that does not make it easier for a person like myself, who was a Member of Parliament at Home and to whom politics was a principal topic. So I am afraid -I am very much afraid—that in my many speeches since I came to Canada I may have sometimes bored my audience by harping on the same subjects. There is a story of s. new minister in a Scottish village who reached his first sermon there, an an 01d woman in the congregation. u cele- brated critic of sermons. was asked what. she thought of hlmJ-Ier an- swer was "I thouht nothing of him. He was neither edifyln’ nor divertln”', I fear that too often I have bs-an neither edifying nor diverting!

“But today there is one subject of profound topical interest on which n Governor General is permitted lo speak freely. It is the question cf the war. He is at liberty to sneak because whatever may be our (liffcrcnces of view on the incid- rnts which led up to the vrnr I fancy there is very little differ- rnoe of opinoin on the necessity of winning that. war. Now that. we are in it. we have to see it through. The issue have clarified (item- srlvcs into mmcthiil: \cr\' simple which anyone can understand. We and our Allies are fighting to re- store" decency and order to the world. If we were d-efented it would mean the loss in life of most things that we hold dear. But we are not going to be deflated.

Courage And Hope

“To win we must have the deter- mlnation to win. We must have courage, and we must have hope. We must keep a stout heart. That applies not. only to our armed forces, but to every man. woman and e‘:ild in this Dominion. In old days war was a contest of armies and navies. Today it is a contest of peoples. In the last war it was the break-down of Ger- many's national morale which led to her defeat. In this war it is the maintenance of our national mor- ale, our civilian morale, which will bring us victory. I remember in the last war a famous French general who. whenever he pro- phesied ultimate victory, alwnvs added. ‘Provided the civilians stick if. outJ-Pourvu que its civiles tiennent.

“So this afternoon f want to offer you a few reflections which should conduce, I think, to stout- ness of heart and cheerfulness of spirit. We have to face great dif- ficulties, but we have also great as- sets. We areliving in sconfused and tragic world but from thatvery con- fusion and tragedy we may win cer- tsin shining ‘benefitsAmong old- fashioned people in Scotlandl have oft/en heard the advice given that when things look dark it is a good plan to "count your mercies." So I venture to offer for your con- sideration, and tn order to cheer ourselves up, a. few mercies which I think we can count.

A Lesson From History

"First, as s student of history I want to remind you that in our long Iiisiury we have lived under skies equally dark, and our fathers did not lose heart. There are one or two special cases to remember. In Mar: ~ i918 Germany had no eastern .!‘nt to fight on, for Rus- sia. was in chaos, Rumania. and Serbia were prostrate, and Bul- garia and Turkey were on her side. she could move almost every man from the east against the ALtes in the west. She could get supplies of food and oli from the east, cer- tainly as easilv as she can get them today. Her peoue had been gliving for more than three years ‘under a heavy war strain, on ner- row rations and with an insuffici- ent lllpply of war material. She was, indeed, very much in thc position then in which she has begun the present war. Whathap- Bpened? Well. she attacked vioxntly ltn the west, and Britain and France went through a very tr lng time. Eventually the Amer can armies were in the field beside us. and in seven months Germany was beaten to the ground. ‘The sltu ation of course is not quite the some today: today Germany has a powerful army of young men, and America is not in the field. But it was not only the pressure in the field that defeated Germany in 1918; it was even more the fact that the long strain had told upon her internal morale, and that the nerve of her people broke. There is the same danger for her today. I find some comfort in that recollection.

“Then cast your mind book to the beginning of last century after

the battle of Austerlitz, when the dying Pitt salrl. ‘Roll u the map of Europe ' Russia ha ‘run out.

and was an ally of our enemies, The whole of Europe was against us, and it was under the ir0n_heel of a great genius. Napoleon. com- pared to whom the present Ger- man leaders are the merestpygmies. But Britain did not lose heart. We stuck to our ‘cause, we refus- ed to make peace until tryrunhy had been defeated, and we won.

many able and public-spirited men have lost heart. Early in last 0on- tury William Wilberforce thought the outlook for the country so dark that he refused to marry. In the ’forties Lord Shaftesbury, the great phlianthropist, declared that ‘nothing could save the British Elmpire from shipwreck.’ And the Duke of Wellington ust before hll death thanked God t ‘he would be spared from seeing the con- of ruin that was

ary cillzm-Ahe man who matters most never took that view. and, because he did not. disaster never came.

“But I do not want to refer mcrcly to famous historical epi- sodes. I want you to consider how harrl and difficult life was in earlier t‘mes for our own people. and how in the darkest moments they never lost either their cour- age or their cheerfuiness. The feet is that in our own day, and in our fathers‘ day, life had become un- believably secure and — an ease and security which can scarcely be paralleled except por- hsps for a. few decades in the early Roman Empire. In the nine- teenth century we thought this the normal state of affairs which was going to last for ever. But it has never been the normal state of af- fairs. Tcdzy in our troubles we are back again in what in history has not been the exception but tho ru e. "I need not reuilnd you of the herd and dangerous life which your ovn forefathers had here in Canada, dangers arising from the sava-gery of man and the cruelty of nature. It is instructive to read the record of some of the earlier settlers here and across the bord- er, and to compare it with the kind of conditions we live under now.

Earlier Centuries

"But I want you to look further back in history. Even the most unfortunate of us at the present time have no easier and safer life than the most fortunate of our forefathers. As you know, all through the Middle Ages Euro was ravaged by wars and pesti- ence. Do you realize that in one of the visitntlons of the Black Death two-thirds of the whole population died? Right up to the last. century epidemics were to be looked for every few years, and there were very imperfect methods of dealing with them, Let us take the seventeenth century in Eng- land-a great cs-ltury in our his- tory. All through it there were wars on the Continent of Europe, in some of which we were en- gnged, and which constantly threatened to extend to ourshores. l In the course of it we had ten‘ years of civil war in England and l in Pcotlnud. and there is no more terrible kind of war, Also. everv few years there was an epidemic cf disease- different. kinds of typhoid, small pox. dy-

and a m sterious thin; the ‘sw-ea ing sickness.’ Fvcry now and then people had to I char out. of London and ntherl cities, and find refuge in country} nieces. At Ovford the colleges had rrrzuiar countrv resorts to which lbw fled when disease came.

‘What does that m-nn? It rM-l- q ihvt our ancestors lived a life r’ perpetual insecurity. War was 5'.

You would have said that such n life would have taken the. heart out o! any people. But ll did not. Think what we owe ta the seventeenth century. At the beginning Shakespeare wmu the greatest poetry in the wor'd. and he was followed by John Milton. Throughout it poets wrote some of the most beautiful lyrics in our literature, and some of the most cheerful. To that century we owe famous works in theology -lt wrs the century of The Pilgrim's Pre- tress; we owe it much beautiful music, and a great deal of wise l philosophy. Modern science began I then with the founding of the Royal society. Indeed. the thought of that century hu still s pro- , found influence on our intellectual i life. Moreover, if you study the io-

Then I hink that this year the visit oi’ Their Majesties, who are the chief links between all the scattered part1 of our Empire, has had n. wonderful unifying effect. Canada realized the.

King was King not only of Britain. but of Can- ui», and, being proud of the King and Queen, we became all the prouder of Canada. The different parts of our country are not like

holes in a box, which are only ttogether by the containing walls of the box. They are like apples on a tree, which may be far apart, but which all draw their life from the some tap-root.

Canada): Part

"Now war has come. Canada has entered into it as e. free and sovereign Dean's. whollv of her own will-st no one's dictation except the dictation of her reason and her conscience. That. is a tremendous thing and it is bound to have a profound effect upon our national spirit. In the last war I think the feeling of most men who en- listed here was that they were fighting primarily for the Monitor" Country. which was in a condi- tion of great peril and stress. Now. I believe and hope, there is not. only that feeling present, but also the conviction that every one of us here is fighting for Canada, for Canada's dearest interests, for Canada's national future. If that conception is always before our minds it will be a tremendous force for spiritual unification.

"Let me odd one thing. What is required of us is effort, but it may be dull effort. and slow effort. nothing brilliant and exciting. but s long steady strain. We shell need all our energy, but we shall also need all our patience, and that is often a verv difficult tih-ing. You remember the text in the Bible which says: ‘They shall mount up on wings like eagles. they shall run and not be weary. and they shall walk and not faint ’ To most people that seems a dlminuendo of effort, almost an mticltmax. But
