.»\`ccotttp:ttt_vittg the program was a short letter frotn

the ntentber to ivhotn 'l`lte Gttarcliatt is indebted for the copy. l"`rom this letter we quote the following sentence wlticlt is bigger than the toast list, bigger than the elaborate menu: “I wish it were possible fm" you to attend one of our dinners: yott would be grat- ilied, in f:icl, elated in fseeittg lto\v heartily Uncie f\`atrt’s subjects cheer the speeches of all (`.:tttadi:ttts._" Special reference is of course made to tlte address, given hy Sir Tltontas \\"ltite and complitttettts paid to

quote; the otttstattdittg feature is tltc pride of Cana-t

States, that is, every real Cattarliatt, look-tt with pride to the country of his birth and the place it is making for itself among tltc nations of the world. liven tlte slacker \vlto ltas crossed the border to escape mili- tary scrvicc, or rather to escape the accusing eyes that meet hint wherever he goes, even he. although not to hc found in tlte membership of atty Canadian .\`ociety, feels proud of his country, and probably ashamed oil his lack of loyalty to it. ' »' '

And there is muclt that Canadians have to be proud~

of. The word, Canadian, has a ring to it in tlte battle- fields, carries weight- itl tlte councils of 'the Empire. Looking hack over the past two and a half years, what Cattarlian is there, and especially \vlt:1t'Canadi:tn in the United Statesfwlto does not feel tltat his cotttt- try and his cotttttttymett ltztveplaycd their part tnatt- fully in the 'wo,r'ld’s igt'_e4tests_t\"t_tégle for°f_reedom, for rigltteottsttcss, for tlte rights of the weak? \\'ell tnigltt the Canadians at that banquet listen to the story told by Canadian statestnett, not with arrogant pride or boastfulness, bttt with the grateful pride of nten who anti whose countrymen had acted the part of men, who were proud of the ideals they clterished but ttot too proud to fight for them.

Canadians in the United States are well n1:tintain~

ing and perpetuating ‘thc name and' traditions of"thc|r country. Il would be well if Canadians “at home paid tnore heed to these. The “ily 'in the ointment" is tltat while Canadian statesmen were telling",tltcir fel- low-countrymen in a foreign land of their country’s glory and-its promise, some little Canadians at home were befonling the nest they were nurtttrcd in; seek- ing, ttot glory or ltottor for themselves and their fel- lourscottntrymen, but political jobs for theinselves and their friends by slanderiug and falsifying what Catt- ada and Canatliztns have done and are doing in the war. Surely tto greater shame can fall upon atty coun- try than itltis, that while its best men are falling in 'fthonsands to save their country and tltc world’s_civil-, ization from stvagery and barbarism, these little people can find ncrhetter employment than slanglering them for doing i_t.f We in Canada have, at present, ,big things to think about, and to engage in, and ottr poli- ticians, lay or ptvofessional, should lind, at least occa- sionally, somcthitng constructivc‘ rather than destruc- tive and harmful to talk about and to write abo_ut.
