Dominion Day

There is special significance this year in the celcliratioli of Doilliliioii Day. It is only a few i.\';-cl.» ago that King Ljeorge \'l, wearing the Crown lnipcrial, presided at 2!. sitting of the }‘:lrli:unl-lit of Czuiada, and every l’l‘t)\'inCc in the l):.iniui<\n has l)(‘L‘ll personally visited by Th»-.r .\l:i_ie-tic.-. The inlpetlls which this _visit has given to (anti lian pzllriotisln will be felt for rears to coin» .\s the London Times stated in a ’-l4‘t’l.’ll numlwr demterl to Canarlzfs place in i: \\:i~ lll lllls miiiilry that what \\\

Z".t' l-'iin»m~ and th we foreign countries which are its clrm“-t fritnrls. This is a role of even ;'l‘t"ll(‘l’ ivntvortancc than .m_vthing visualized by the ('~nie<leration Fathers.

The FL‘\'(‘l)l_\'-l\\'() years which have passed

since tilt‘ Dominion of C;1na'la came into being have iiitiicsseil a great many epochal changes, but iimie more remarkable than the progress we 0ll‘.‘~'(‘l\'L‘~' llI‘.\'(‘ arllicvetl from a few scattcrwl provinces to our present status as one of the great nations of the British Commonwealth. Tlie pioneering effort‘ which went into this Ichievenlcnt, familiar to every Canadian school’ child, is a greater heritage than even the vast material re-jources of which we are possessed, Ind of which we are only no\v becoming fully aware. No better commentary on this fact has been made than by llis Majesty the King in his speech at Victoria. B. C., when he recalled the experience of his journey across the old. settled parts of the Dominion, with centuries of history and tradition behind them, to the newer parts. of which the first settlement is still within the memory of living men. The vastness of Canarlzl was impressed upon the Royal vis- itors by the fact that at the British Columbia cap- ital they were actually as far from Ottawa, as Ottawa is from London. The sight of our broad planes, changed by the pioneers to the uses of inan. and the mighty mountain ranges through which they cut their roads, gave them a truer understanrling than anything they had read or been told of the qualities of the Canadian peo- ple.

But it was to Canada's future, rather than to the past, that His Majesty directed attention. _\\'e have still before us, he emphasized, the re- wards of pioneering and the prizes of explora- tion. \\'e have only touched the fringes of the great north, where there is scope, right up to the .-\ri:tic circle, for the enterprise of Canad' ian youth which it will take generations to ex- hau~t. And this is not all. Our Atlantic win- dows, he reminded us, look to Europe, our Pacific windows to Asia and the Far East. “As science reduces the barriers of space, this coun- try will become a thoroughfare between two hemispheres. Some day the people of the world will come to realize that prosperity lies in co- operation. and not in conflict. \Vith the dawn of that brighter day. I look to Canada playing m incre;1<ing,_7l_\' important part in furthering friendly relations between the east and west. \\'ith the widening of her role. of interna- finml im¢=rprel:ltiot1 will come corresponding l)Pf‘l"flls to mzlnkiurl."

No lluminion llay should be allowed to pass without recalling this magnificent tribute from our Fill-(‘rt-igii. it should be engraved on our l‘;lrlianicnt buildings at Ottawa, and enshrined in the llflgftx of our school books and anthologies.

l‘ro\-incizllly the present occasion is also a .ll“l‘lltIl'.’ll)lC one, falling as it cloeson the 66than- lll‘.'{'l‘>'.'ll'\' of our entry into Confederation, and on mg no of our celebration of the 75th anniver- .-Itl”\‘ of thc Cliarlottctown Conference. Many dis- tiuguislictl Canatlians will be here on the \vcel< of July to-31 to participate in the coming cele- bration. and the programme is one which should attract (.'anada—wide interest, not only in this Prnviiicc as the birth place of Confederation. but on its own account as the Garden of the Cull and paradise for summer visitors.

Premier Chamber}-3in’s caution in dealing with the Japanese crisis at Tientsin finds justl- fication in Japan's argeement t8 discuss terms of settlement at a conference to be called at Tokyo, While there are important differences of opinion between the two governments as to the scope of theuliscussion, the fact that it is,tio be held at all is a victory for British diplo- -macy. For that reason it is likely to provoke further jeers from Nazi Germany, whose lead- ers would like nothing better than to see Great ,B’rltain involved Just now in war in the Far

Mr. Chamberlain agreed with Premier Dela- dier of France as to the gravity of the present

City of Danzig, in which Germany for months

If, on the other hand. it intcrvcnc-s—and this is said to be the crux of the Nazi plan-—it offers the Nazi leaders the desired opportunity to proclaim that Poland is attempting to subjugatc the Free City by violence. This would afford Hitler an argument which he has not yet been able to use in order to unleash an explosion of national feel- ing and general enthusiasm for war in Poland. It is (hiring the next three months, in Mr. Churchill's opinion, that the tension will be- come most severe. llence the need of proceed- ing with the utmost caution so far as the Japan- ese troublc is concerned The most reassuring

Credit Where Due

Crcv.'it for one of the achievements of the l\‘o_\'al Visit to Canada goes to one man, .\Ir. \\'altcr S. Thompson, director of publicity for the Canadian National Rail‘ who served so efficiently and successfully

the Royal visit was a tremendous undcrtrlking in which every newspaper in the Dominion had its part, but it was through the directing genius of Mr. Thompson in planning, weeks ahead, every detail that the press was able to present each day such complete reports and such l illustrations. And it was not only Canadian newspapers which benefited. Correspondents from the United States. Great Britain and else- where received the same co-operation from .\lr. Thompson, with the result that Canada has rc- ceived most favorable publicity on both con- tinents.
