other Commonwealth Tributes

Tributes from various Common- wealth centres included: i

Pretoria-Prime Minister Malan said few statesmen in overseas countries throughout their public careers have stood higher in .the rstimation of South Africans than Mackenzie King.

"The reason is not far to seek. without prejudice to his ready co- operation in wider international circles. he was above everything rise a Canadian. intent. on the growth of full Canadian -nation- hood.”

Mackenzie King's contacts with South Africa were more or less rontlned to Imperial conferences. "notably that of 1928 where the foundation was laid of the Com- monwealth as it exists today. namely a free association of in- dependent pations." he said.

"Together with General Hertzog. he was a powerful force in the step forward."

Wellington, N. Z.-Prime Minis- ter Sidney Holland: "New Zealand joins with Canada in mourning the loss of one of its most disting- uished mcn...whosc long record of service to his own country and Empire will always be remember- cd with respect and gratitude."

New Zealand's Opposition lead- Ir. Peter Fraser. I close personal friend of Mackenzie King who was associated with him on sev- eral Commonwealth conferences. said:

"He was the most kindly man and most generous in his friend- ship.

Sydney. Australia-Percy Spend- er. Minister for External Affairs:

"There has passed from the world a great leader. He was in my judgment above all other things a realist. He always had his feet upon the ground while he lifted his eyes to the hills.

"He contributed a great deal to the modern era of the British Commonwealth. Mackenzie King is part of the history of Canada and his was a life well spent."

Canberra-The Canadian High Commissioner in Australia. Maj. Gen. L. R. LaFleche. a personal friend. described the former Prime

.:Lm......B.m.j. and discouragement-. He also had much success. I think the greatest triumph was leading the Govern- ment from 1935 to 198 in peace time. through the war years. 1909 to 1945. and after the war to 1948. This I believe shows that he had wisdom in guiding the affairs of state in a way that was accept- able to the majority of the,pco- ple of Canada.

"The Canadian people will cher- ish his memory for his wise coun- sel in guiding the dlstlnles of the nation during the years he was Prime Minister. Historians will place his name among Canada's great statesman of the past. and one of the world's great statesmen of his day."

Mr. J. Watson IIaeNsught, M.P.: "In the death of W. L. Mac- kenzie King, Canada has lost her most distinguished son.

"It is a matter of much regret that he had not. been spared a few more years In which to en- joy his well earned relt. to re- flect on a busy life and to write his eagerly awaited memoirs. "Mackenzie King has been the subject of fierce controversy ever since he entered public life almost fifty years ago. It was only in recent years that the bitterness of this controversy had in some measure died down. It will be for future generations to properly as- sess his contribution to Canada and to the world. We are too near the events to impartially view his part in them.

"Mackenzie King will be remem- bered for the many great contri- butions he made to the social and political life of Canada. I think. however. that his most outstand- ing schievement was the great contribution he made to national unity. He realized all too well that Canada was a difficult country to govern. He saw clearly the is- sue and he always pursued the course that would promote the utmost goodwill and harmony. "Mackenzie King was a man of intense loyalties. In my last con- versation with him he recalled with much warmth the many friendships he had ade in Prince Edward Island en he reP' resented Prince County in the House of Commons from 1919-1921. "I am sure that all the l!90Pl9 of Prince Edward Island. regard- less of what political party they belong to. will mourn the passing of this great Canadians."

Mr. J. Lester Dollllll. M-P-3

"Mr. King's service and loynlly to the Canadian people was un- surpassed by those of any public men. and his status in later ye!” was that of an elder statesman and figure of international impor- tance. Among his greatest achieve- mente I would rank his success in cementing the good nelshbor pol- icy with the United States. and in maintaining national unity at home, both In peace and war.

"Peraonally I can testify to the unfailing courtesy with which he treated all members of the House. and to his gentlemanly bearing at all times. He was easily approach-. able. patient in hearing represen- tations made to him. Ind prompt in discharging any obligation hi! assumed. How he was able to do this while bearing the heavy bur- dens of state during the war and postwar years is difficult to understand. but it was undoubted- ly one of the reasons for his Steal success in public life."

Mr. W. Cheater S. McLu.re.M.P.:

"It was with deep regret that I learned of the pasalnl on 5310'" day of the Rt. Hon. Mr. King. whom I had known for many years and whom. as Prime Minis- ter and leader of the Government. I always found to be most cour- teous and olrllglng. The heavy re- aponaibilitiea which he carried for so many years. until h-is retire- ment from office. no doubt under- mined his health. He had the ant- lafactlon. however. of having rounded out a career in Pl-llillc life which is unequalled in Can- ada. or indeed in the Brltllh Commonwealth. "Mr. King's asiuteneas as a po- litical leader has become almost legendary. but in addition he was a man of very warm human sym- pathies. He was in every sense a gentleman of the old school. kind- ly and tolerant towards Otherl. and severe only on himself in the spartan simplicity in which he lived. and the high personal stand- ards he maintained." 1

Mr. Thomas lieliham. M. I'.:

"1 gm deeply grieved to learn or the passing of our former Lib- eral leader and world statesman. Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie K1118- His record in public life has been an Inspiration to his party fol- lowers. and an example to every Canadian citizen. He was at the helm of state during some of the mono momentous years in our history, and the national unity we enjoy today is due in no small mengure to the patience and conaclentlousnesa with which be discharged his onerous duties."

Dr. Kenneth T. E. Mgcleod (above) of the Provincial Health Department. has returned from attending a special course at the School of Public Health. Univer- sity of Michigan. Anne Arbor. where be qualified with the de- gree of Master of Public Health. He left here last September to take the course. ,

Twenty-seven countries were re- presented at the school. including students from India. China and South American countries as well as Canada and the United States.

The students elected Dr. Mac- leod as class president for the year. The democratic manner in which the school was conducted was illustrated by the fact that before" leaving. Dr. Macleod was asked by the dean of the faculty. Dr. Henry Vaughan. to head a committee to criticise the course. The report of the committee was handed to Dr. Vaughan just prior to Dr. Macleod's departure and Dr. Vaughan stated that it would be acted upon.

Dr. Macleod. who has returned to duty with the Provincial De- partment of Health. some time ago completed a biography of General Sir Hector Macdonald which is be- ing published serially in a North of Scotland weekly newspaper. Sir Hector. a son of a Scottish croftcr who rose from the ranks to the highest position in the British army, commanded the Highland Brigade in the Boer War. .

Prime Minister Issues Statement

0'I'rAWA. July :23 -(CF) S Prime Minister st. Laurent said today the death of Rt. Hon. Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie King marked the end of a period which histor- ian-s "will certainly describe as 'the Mackenzie King era.' "

The text of Mr. St. Laurenl's tribute follows:

"Although his friends have been aware of the serious state of Mr. .Macltenzie King's health in recent weeks. his death is a great shock For Canada. it marks the end of :4 peiiod which historians will cert- ainly descrlbe as the Mackenzie King era.

"For a generation after 1572.. the P9rS0lIalll9y of Mr. King dominated every aspect of our puibllc life "He had three great aims in public affairs; the first was to achieve complete national auton- omy for Canada without destroy- ing our historic associations: the second was to strengthen the unity of the nation by scrupulous respect for the rights and the traditions of all elements of our population and by the development of a. genuine pride in our common homeland. our common history and our com- mon cltizenship; and the third was to give all Canadians B gcnuinc sense of equality of opportunity by the promotion of social justice. "To achieve these aims, and to maintain what was achieved. Mac- kenzie King realized that enduring peace in the world was essential. and he never ceased to work for peace and to direct all our ex- terrml policies to that end.

"But it. was the direction of our country's affairs throughout the most terrible war in human his- tory. which was his greatest

country during periods of extreme seriousness have taken their toll. It is to be lamented that one who toiled. so tirelessly and with such intense energy in the inter- est: of his country. should not have been spared to enjoy years of freedom from the grave re- aponslbiliiieii so often carried by Mr. King. May his sacrifice on behalf of Canada be an example to posterity."

Hon. Dr. W. J. P. Macllllllan, M.L.A.. farmer Premier and Leader of the Opposition:

"Throughout Canada and the Christian world there is sincere sorrow and deep regret as a re- sult of the news of the sudden death of the Rt. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King. It seems only a short time since he laid

ties of Prime Minister of Canada. Doubtless the enormous burden of work and worry. during the World War of 1939-45. took its toll of his strength and resistance. and left him too weak to fight a dread disease.

"History will give a high Pllll-T in its Honour Roll to this excep- tionally gifted man. He had the great distinction of being a Prime Minister longer than any in the British Empire. No one can doubt his great love for Canada and his deep devotion to duty. From the time he became leader of the Lib- cral Party in Canada until he re- gigned the position. he proved himself an able and mimcloul leader. and as a clever politician he had. in my judgment. no equal. As an orator he had few ctluall and his speeches were never tire- some but always most inspiring He had only one love. "CIYlBdlI"- and to his country he gave long.

loyal and faithful Iaervlce. Thus passes a great statesman and leader."

In ii most impressive service in the Kirk of St. James yesterday morning the McCready Memorial Windows were unveiled and sol- ernnly dedicated "to the glory of God and in loving memory of John E. Blakeney Mccresdy. 1838- 1930 end his wife. Louise Bennett Mccready. 1863-1943".

The ceremony was performed by Mr. J. R. Burnett. successor to Mr. J. E. B. Mccready in the edltorahip of The Guardian and a lifelong friend of the family.

The prayers of dedication were offered by the minister. the Rev. T. H. B. Somers. in the presence of II large congregation which in- cluded many frlenda of those whose memory was honoured by these gifts. The service included the singing of a favourite hymn of Mrs. McCready's. "When On My Day of Life the Night is Fall- ing" and the hymn of commemor- ation, "Forever with the Lord". Miss E. Lillian McKenzie. church organist. directed the music.

The memorial. the gift of the Mccready Estate. is of striking ap- perance, chaste in design. rich in appeal and symbolism and con- stitutes the final panels in an overall scheme for the south wall of the church. They are compan- ion pieces and contain the separ-

ate figures of Moses and Isaiah. representatives of the Law and Prophets of the Old Testament. balancing the windows to the right which depict St. Peter and St. Paul. representatives of the Evangel to the Jews and the Gen- tiles. of the New Testament. The War Memorial windows un- vciled last November and the Good Shepherd windows above them complete the plan of the ten panels.
