How Confederation Was Hampton, Apr, 5--This address on #The Unification of Canada" was de- livered by Fred Billett at the Orato- rical contest recently held at Co- bourg and also at the Rotary Club at Bowmanville, The Unification of Canada was a wonderful achievement for the Cana- dian statesmen of sixty years ago and it should be our pride and glory tions of our Dominion were estab- lished not by warfare but by consti- Catching the vision of the union of bition to remain loyal to the British Crown, and in the conception of that and the view of widely separated provinces coming together under one federal government was a singular event worthy of our vivid recogni- tion of the present day.

On June 15, 1864, John A. Mac- donald announced that in view of the adverse vote the government had considered it its duty to communicate with His Excellency, the Governor- General and ask for an adjournment. On June 17th, Mr. Macdonald made the statement that although His Ex- cellency the Governor-General had given his assent to a dissolution of Parliament, he and his colleagues for four thousand | to oceans © had held a conference with the hon- orable gentlemen on the other side of the House and had made such progress that they considered them- selves to have found a solution of the difficulties without dissolving Parliament. He concluded his state- ment by saying that the gentleman with whom he had particularly con- ferred was Mr. George Brown, of the Toronto Globe, his long-standing bit- terest political enemy. Worked Side by Side This was the event that opened the way for Confederation and for years Brown and Macdonald wrought side by side until their hopes were rea- lized and a United Canada came into existence.

Manager. ~ 8, by necessity, one of the great' nations of the world, © ; 1 SE : The dream of the Legislature of '1867 has proven to have been of countless value to the British Em-| pire. It is ours to catch the vision | of our forebears to stand firmly for all the great things that the Empire has brought to us, to devotedly and loyally uphold the country of our birth that our efforts--while not ob- livious of the Great Empire of which we form a part--and our earnest and continued thought will be for Canada always. Let us forget the failures of the past and in a spirjt of brother- liness and unity make the land a glorious home of noble and tolerant people. What One Man Has Done Leét me now give you a practical illustration of what it is possible to be done by one man in Canada, In 1914 Herman Trelle together with his wife trekked into the Peace River District with little more than faith. as their background. In 1928 Mr. Trelle produced 15,600 bushels of registered seed grain, the largest crop of registered seed grain ever produced by a single grower. In ad- dition he enjoyed the privilege of being called the Wheat and Oats King of the World, This is certainly a great achievement and surely no one can say that Canada is lacking in opportunities for men and women who have the gumption to work and the abilities to make themselves successes. : Canada today stands in the eyes of the world as the most resourceful country of the twentieth century. 'We have been rightly termed "The Billion Dollar Dominion." Our year- ly trade, our exports, our bank de- posits, our field crops, are today all expressed in terms of thousands. We have a vast country which is catch- ing up in population and whose pro- gress in 60 years has been the envy of the world. I believe that two of her greatest achievements are her marked advance in education and literature. These are but a few of the things that we can point to with pride and urge our children to improve upon and if they should by any misfor- tune have to leave this land for other soils, they will be able to in- terpret Canada with its boundless expanses, its limitless resources, its virile people and its splendid oppor- tunities ahead. By so doing they will honor their country and will honor themselves and may be the ambassador that will help fill our open space with teeming millions. Let you and I take as our slogan through the coming years: "Onward ever, stand still never, and we in- deed will do our part to continue to make this land a united home of noble and tolerant people."

When the Canadian constitution was approved, Canada started on a new career that has been fully justified since. A Histo- rian gives credit to Brown and Macdonald that they were strong enough and inspired with enough real patriotism to sink their differ- ences and to bring about the union of all the British Colonies of North America, Naming of the Dominion Another incident of great moment was the naming of the new coalesced provinces. John A. Macdonald wished to call it the Kingdom of Canada, but at the propitious mom- ent it is said that Sir Leonard Tilley of New Brunswick walked into the conference room after the reading of the 72nd psalm at his morning wor- ship and declared that he felt the inspiration of the verse which read: "He shall have Dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the Barth." "Let us call it," he said, "the Dominion of Canada, and may that distinctive name for- ever abide in the confident hope of all Canadians." On March 8th, 1867, the bill that created the Dominion of Canada re- ceived its third reading in the Bri- tish House of Commons and on March 29th the Royal assent was given ot it. On May 22nd the Bri- tish North America Act was pro- claimed, and July the 1st was the day it became effective, And so I have briefly sketched the origin of the union of provinces which has proved to be of such im- mense value in the development of 'this great Dominion. .
