Y **.r-* P'~¶ - :~, ~- .- t PAGE TWO THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLR ONTARIO THU~RSDAY. MAY I8TH. 1939 Canada from the Atlantic ta the Pacific is being fittingly decarated for the occasion of the visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen. The Royal visit will always be a cherish- ed memory ta Canadians of aur generation, marking, as it wii, the first visit of a reigul- ing sovereign ta the Daminian. The Caii- adian wcdcome wil be sportaneaus and wil not be actuated by governmental proclama- ations. Thare is no conscription of the mind in the British Empire and no orders wili command the presence of the hundreds of thausands of loyal subjects who wiii crowd the royal routesl from Halifax ta Victoria. Ail details of the tour have been miriutely planned except the sentiment of the people. Canadians wiii enthusiastically greot their King arid Qucen reaiizing what ordered liberty under the British Crown means ta the individual, the Nation and the Empire, and because gemmie respect and affection for Their Majesties exisa. In these times of stress and upheaval, as the worid shudders in the throea of wars, revalutioris, countor-revolutions and indus- trial strife, there is a comforting feeling of soidarity in belonging te the British Em- pire. The Crown is the symbal which holds this Empire tagether, an Empire in which the senior members, of which Canada is one, are bound 'by no rigid tics. . Yct in its vory lasticity the Empire stands stronger today than perhaps at ariy other tirnie in its history. Devotion of the peoples of the Empire ta the ulers who sjt at the Court of St. James is something that bas -no eounterpart ariy- where ini the world. It is not slavish devotion, nar fawning hypocriey, but rather an honest affection for the royal family. The lave of the British Rai is a powerful factor i11 Irdia, and The Great Ring 's laws are respected by the Eskimo. And ta the greatest Empire the world bas ever seen. the British Royal House is symbolic of everything worth keeping and holding ta in the world today. t cannot be overlooked that the royal visit af this time bas treniendous signifie- ance ta the Empire anid ta the warld. Canada is proud that Their Majesties show their confidence in the Dominion by making this visit, and will greet ber belov- ed Sovereigris in a roLanner befitting a daugliter welcoming royal parents ta lier home. The beauties and resources of Canada are recognized and we are glad that Their Majesties will have this apportunity to soc Canada and feol the warmth of the Cari- adian welcome that awaits thcm. God Bless Their Majesties! No Conservative Need Apply F'rom 35 ta 40 important appointments, many of theni ta new boards croated by ['arliament this session, await action by the Dominion Govrinmnt. Few, if any ap- pointments arc oxpected until after the session and Their Majesties' visit are con- cluded and some of thent, particularly nino senatarship appaintments afe not looked for until the ove of the general lectian. The list of government appointmcnts pend- ing includes the following: Dofence Pur- chasirig Baard, five; National Film Board, five; Penitentiarios Cammission, threc; Board of Grain Commissioners, term of thrco prosent membors expires shortly; anc vacancy an the Dominion Board of Trans- port Conmissiaricrs; anc director for the Canadian National Railways; threc direc- tors for the new Central Martgage Bank; a chirman for the Tariff Board, Sait Fish Board, thrae; Librarian of Parliament; de- puty minister of fisherios; doputy ministor of justice; Jariadian minister ta Japan; rime senators.hips. Canada Needs Immigration Boyond ail doubt groater population is one of Canada's greateet needa. Before the days of the Worid War immigrants wcrc landing- upan our shores ta the numiber of 400,000 per year, and liad it riat been for that upheavai we might have been a groat nation today, probably a nation of up- ,wards of 20,000,000 people." We have room for this number and more. A Wee»kly Noepaper devoted to the intereats of the town of Bownianville and surrounding country, isud et King Street, Bowmarville, every Thursday, by M. A.

MAY 18TH. 1939 Welcome To Their Maesties The King and Queen! Speaking in Ottawa a few week§ aga, anc of Canada 's outstandimg public servants and citizens, C. A. Magrath, past chairmari, International Joint Commissian, urged the nced for btter understanding betwccri rural and urban Canada. Ho criticized "aur mast capable business minds" for not got- tirig "beyond the reach of rails and roads" and not knowing marc about the rural lifo of aur caurtry and its probiems. "The successful man ini aur large center- prises oniy became so digging into the very vitais of the work ho was expariding. Yet the cauiîtrysido is largeiy 'known' ta îMost of aur prosperous çmen fram the windows of railway carrnages or bits of it from motar cars. "Many cari go abroad from timo to tin, for a month or so but would it occur ta ans- ta spend a few weeks in driving thraugh largo partions of thc country, deveiaping contact with people on the land-the real makers of a nation - anid thus using the fine capacity of theirs ta see in what way- the condition of aur people could be bot. tered f" Wise leadership in Canadian affairs whether it be on the part of paliticai lead- ors or from business and commnercial mirids, is deýperident on a thorougli knawledge and understandirig of the Canadian people and their problems. There is noa better place ta abtain such knowledge and undorstanding than first-' hand contact with rural Canada and its people. - The Financial Post. The New York World 's Fair has dorie a tremendous amount of advertising but the power and influence of such publicity is being materiaiiy affected by the reports that hot dogs on the grounds are sold at $1.50 each and rates in New York hotels have been boosted for the duration of the fair. Guess we'll be satisfied ta attend El- wood Hughes' stupendous annual Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto where there is no advance in prices and yau cari afford ta, take the whole family as weli as pile in a couple af the neiglibors' kýds in the editor's flivver for a rcmi day's outing. THEIR MAJETIES SUn CANADA caris who have settled in rural parts of Durham County. Then, teo, the suggestion was recently made that as England is overcrowded one- third of their inhabitants and one-third of their industries, could well be moved here ta their advantage and ta the advariage of the British Empire - and certainly ta the advantage of Canada. For ycars past the minds of Canadiari public men have been taken up with other problems, like unemployment, our railways and oùr defence. But here is one, that of immigration, whieh is of even greater im- portance, and miglit go a long way iii solv- ing aur prescrit problems, anid very Ilittie is donc or said about it. The Statesman Misinterpreted Allis n11w forgiven the Kirigston Whig- Standard for misinterpreting the States- man's views on the subjcct of "Good Old- fashioned Dcmocracy" as applied ta the goveriment grant ta repair the harbour at Bowmanville. The razzing and good-natured twitting the Whig-Standard gave us bas been takon up editorally hy numerous other influential papers across Canada, particularly those papers who have shown an onvious delight ini pokirig jibes ankd left handed compli- ments at the Globe and Mail%' initiative in laundching the Leadership League. In an editorial ini the Whig-Standard, uridor the heading, "~The Statosman Misiri- torprcted," it goes ta cousiderable length to right the "ontirely unintentiorial injustice" done this paper. We quote herewith only the f irst paragraph from the Whig-Stan- dard's editorial: "We have been doing The Bow an,ýille Statesman and its able oditor, George W. James, an injustice. t bas been an en- tirely unintentiorial -injustice, and The Statesman. itseif provides an excuse for us, nevertheless we hagten ta make amnrds. Wc hasten, flot only because we want ta correct an injustice bêt bocauso wo are delighted that The Statosman 's real view- on a matter of some publie conceru, is flot what we thought it was; on tho coritrary it is the saine as aur own. And wo haeten, moreovor, because what we said about what we thought The Statesmari s view was, is being propagated in varions highly iif lu- ential publications. " The College and Democracy Canada is unique in the gonerous sup- port it bas given its domocratie systemn of education.

Art, literature, histary, science, anid philosophy, far from being impractical subjects, may prove the most useful of ail subjects for the' education of the socially and criticaliy mindcd citizens upon whom the future of Canada depends. The great body of experience, tradition and idealism bequeathed by past gener- ations must be preserved and applied ta contemporary problems. Fair attitudes, sound values anid high standards are of prime importance at a tume when inventive- ness and industrial progress are outrunning the nation%' moral consciousness anid its talents for social arganization.
