Ur g e s Return To Christian Principles In National And World Affairs.

Following is the text of the ad- dreas delivered by Hon. J. J..

_Hughes on the Speech from the

Throne in the Senate, Ottawa, Jan. 21'

“Honourable senators, in the ob- servations I intend to make on the subject which has been before this Housefor the major par-t of the last few days. I shall pursue a dif- ferent line of thought, in part at least, from that which has been followed by the members who have already spoken.

The Speech from the Throne with which His Eixcellcncy opened Parliament, and which we are now considering, naturally calls our at- tention to the abdication of His Mljesty King Edward VIII and the accession of hrs successor to the Throne. We have been told that. the assent of Parliament would be sought to the alteration in the law of succession. and that when this was done every mem- ber of the House who wished to express his views on the subject would have an opportunity to do so, Therefore little need be said now beyond stating that the dand- ling of this regrettable affair re- vealed much that is commendable in British character. The Prime hlinistcr of the Motherland, sup- Government, dis- charged his hcavy and unexpected duties nobly and tvell. The at- trtirde of the governments of the admirable. The

ceptions. conscious of its great responsibilities, lived up to its best traditions. The public attitude during this unfortunate episode showed the Chri:l.ian sentiment of the people to be widely diffused and sound. and pointed unmistakably to the puih that should be and was taken.

The Speech says little about the disturbed condition of the world. and it is not. necessary that it should say more. We are all con- scious that \vc may be on the eve of a calamity greater than any the human race has yet experienced. The conquest of the air has so re- duced the size of the globe that the most distant nations have be- come next-door neighbours, and must live as neighbours should live. or perish from the earl-h. The discoveries and inventions of scien- tists. which should and would bring great blessings to mankind if pro- pcrly used. bid fair to bring in- calculable woes. The greed, of in- dividuals, the ambitions and hat- reds oi‘ iratrons have become so in- tensificd that. unlesw l. mighty or perhaps a miraculous change of minds and hearts takes place Christendom. or at least that part of it called Europe, may be rush- irrg to its end.

World Conditions

I fear this is but. a faint picture of conditions in the world today. 'I'he question naturally arises: can we do anything about them. or must we drift like chips virith the tide. or, again, are we contribut» ing a part to the general distur- bance? Of one tiring I am cer- tain: God never created man and gave him dominion over this earth to bring about the conditions that now prevail. nor did He leave man in the dark as to what should be

Puzzle to Moses.

Pml-‘lhets puzzled by the state of the world in their day; they knew the cause. The destitution of the pro- digal was no puzzle to the father, nor even to the prodigal himself when he came to his senses. But, as I see it. while weremain puzzled no cure will be effected. Hence the necessity of at least trying to diagnose the case, and thus remove the cause of our perplexlty.

0n the 30th of July last I read the following news dispatch in the

PFBSS 3

"Prime Minister Stanley Bald- win attributes many of the world's present troubles to young potential leaders in the

War

As I see it. this statement of the Prime Minister of Great Britain does not go below the surface of things. It would surely be inter- esting if Mr. Baldwin were to sell us what, in his opinion, caused the War that caused the loss of the potential leaders. loss of life and property in the late War was tremendous, but the loss of the leadership of Christ pre- ceded the War; and I think I should be correct in saying that only the restoration of that leadership will prevent future and more destruc- tive wars; tlrat is, if Christianity is not a myth and the Bible a book

of fables.

It shows, however, that great multitudes of educated, intelligent. thoughtful men like Sir Edward Bentty have failed to ap- prehend the significance of God's word and are wandering in doubt and darkness far from home. I say this because we must remem- her that Sir Edward is chancellor of the largest university or school of thought in Canada and that he was speaking to the students of another university on most im- portant subjects. and no one ques- tioned the soundness of his state-

ments; on the contrary. many praised them. The Old Adam

Textile Tariffs

Coming back again to the home field. I find some things which I mentioned here and now. Sir Herbert Holt. giving evidence before the Commission in- quiring into the operations of the Dominion Textile Company. stated upon an investment of $500,000 the company had in thirty years paid to its shareholders $15,000,000 in dividends, and had added $10,000,- 000 to the value of the original in- vestment. As is well known. while the company was doing this it was telling the public that it could hardly make ends meet; that if the protective legislation which en- abled it to make these profits were reduced it would have to close its plants and go out o: business. The Financial Post was g newspapers that wholesale tion of the public by sa that for every three dol- lars paid in onc year by the com- pany to its shareholders it paid two dollars in taxes to governments. besides employing hundreds of men and women in its factories.

And on page 30 he says: "The difference found within the some confession are in many cases deeper than the differences which separate one confession from another."
