FEAR COLLAPSE OF SPANISH CONTROL S YS TEM

RENEW TRI PARTY PACT

"hill: Filitf. n e w o n e t a r y Agreement

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARIS, July i-Notes from the British and United States Govern- mans agreeing to continue the truce-power monetary agreement of last October were handed today to Finance Minister Georges Bon- net.

Officials declared this renewal of the pact was “highly gratify- ing" to France, faced with a. fin- ancial crisis which compelled her to abandon‘ temporarily the gold basis for the franc.

They said the accord would give France a chance to work out her economic difficulties with assur- anoe that the currency would be pofeguarded internationally.

Meanwhile the new "floating franc," frced- from restrictions on its gold content and pemiitted to find its own level, worked down to the lowest point in more’ than i0 years. At the close of open mar- ket trading it was quoted at 26.06 to the United States dollar and 128.93 to the pound sterling.

Canada - United States Friendship Rep [edged

i

President Roosevelt Sends Greetings To Dominion, Observing 70th Anniversary —- Lord Tweedsmuir Replies".

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, July L-President Rioosevelt sent birthday greetings to Canada tonight and his good wLshes were reciprocated to the people of the United States by Lord Tweedsmuir, the Govemor- Lbneral. -

"Individually and collectively, we pledge you the continuation of warm friendship," the President. declared in a broadcast from Hyde Park, New York.

From the British cruiser York in Quebec harbor, Lord Tweedsmulr thanked Mr. Roosevelt for his greetings and to Canadians addres- sed this message: "Liet us remem- ber today that her (Canadab) des- tiny is not to be a mere territor- ial expression and not to be mere- ly nine vigorous provinces. but to be a single and indivisable na- tion."

The broadcast, which was car- ried over national networks in Canada and the United States, was arranged by the Canadian Broad- casting Corporatioh. -

President Roorevelt spoke follows:

I On behalf of the Government and people of the United States it gives me sincere gratification to extend a word of greeting to our Canadian friends and to con- gratulate them on the 70th anni- versary of Canadian confederation. Through the years that have

85

elapsed since that memorable July ‘

1st, 1867. we. of the United-Stetho- have watched with the keenest‘ and mcst sympathetic interest the

isplendid progress of the Canadian

nation, which in ever-increasing meaturc commands our respect and inspires our affection. Individually and collectively, we pledge you the continuation of our warm friend- ship. I do not know .of any greater gift in the power of nations or of individuals to bestow.

We rejoice with you in your past and your present, and in the promise which the future holds.

EN VIABLE RECORD

Ours is an enviable record of friendship and amity as witnessed by an unfortified boundary of more than 5,000 miles as the out- ward and visible token of mutual confidence and goodwill. friendship between our two peo- plcs is secure from every hazard of destruction or misunderstand- ing because it is based upon a com- mon aspiration to maintain, to de- fend and to perpetuate the demo- cratic form of constitutional rep- resentative government. In that spirit I salute our neighbor of the north. I congratulate the Canadian people on the successful achieve- ment of the free institutions through three score and 10 years of Confederation. A d as one who ha: spent so many apDy moments on Canadian, soil, send you my affectionate greetln .

Lord Tweedrmuir lows:

On behalf of the kseople of Can- ‘ado Lmcat warmly reciprocate tho greeting of the President of tho United States. Canada is an old country; as a territorial units she is older than the United States, older even then New England or Virginia. But the ‘United States bxame a federa d people nearly a century before us, and thereby set us an exam a. We welcome with gratitude no affection the good wishes of he President net merely as a pied e of felowship be- tween neighbors d old friends but a: the congra ulzxtions of the pioneers w l blazed the trail for us to follow. ,

We are neighbors and friends and we are also colleagues. We i-c

poke as fol-

both North American peoples th the making ,of a new civilfzati l in our hands. t-Ws have both hind

ur, a. livi European tradition which inus .09 the basis, ‘ of that civilization. And we are both com- ing to realise that we! have certain rcsponsibiIitiesPtpWJIthe world at large, whic may still be difficult to define, but which it is probable will have qmuch in Marching in the some direction to- wards the ramegoal, I hope and believe that more and more we shall come to pool our ideas about the problems of the road.

I should like to vner to the people of Canada one reflection which I think is appropriate to this day of national reme nbrance. Seventy years no the hers of Confederation accomplished a great work. They gave Canada. union. They could not give her unity. Unitycogies only by the process of time, by the slow assimilation of different points ofjiew and dif- ferent traditions. _y Canada must have not merely-a formal confed- eration, but a sincere identity of purporc, and a true homoegncity of spuit. Let us remember today that her destiny is not to p mere territorial expression [mod not to be mercy nine pry-mess,

but to be a single and ipdvisable nation. .‘ _ y’
