URGES CANADA SHARE BURDENS OF THE EMPIRE Reception Tendered Hon. Herbert Mailen on Eve of Departure EXPANSION OF TRADE EMPHASIZED Japan Watching and Study- ing--Will be Heard in future Montreal, July 3.--Hon, Herbert M. Marler, envoy extraordinary and minister - plenipotentiary to Japan, made his first public appearance in that position just recently. More than 200 prominent men came to the Windsor Hotel at the invitation of the local officers of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Montreal Board of Trade, and La Chambre de Commerce du District de Montreal to congratulate their business associ- ate and old friend. "Japan is worth watching and studying, is being heard from and will be heard from in the future," said the chairman, W. M. Birks, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. "My old friend, Herbert Marler," were the words with which Hon, James A. Malcolm, Minister of rade and Commerce, introduced the toast, "Our guest." "Mr, Marler and I entered public life together in 1921 as supporters of the Liberal Govern- ment," he said. "He is a man of great integrity, a tireless worker, and I have come to know something of the personal charm of the man and those social attributes which are es- sential in a diplomat, Whether Can- ada should have ministers in foreign countries has rather emerged from he Sta yo Sontrovelsy.

There have been two voices 5 ing as one on every occasion, when 2a question of deep concern to the Bri- tish Empire has been brought up. There is no requirement for an Ams bassador to Japan that Marler can not live up to, Develop Trade Mr, Malcolm told of the help Mr, Marler would be able to render in developing trade with Japan, Can- ada is prepared to trade with coun- tries that want to trade, There are countries that do not want to trade, but only to sell, and so far as I' am concerned as Minister of Trade and | Commerce I am going to exert every influence I can to encourage trade with those who really want to trade, "Today the trade passing between Canada and Japan means $1,000,000 a week, The future will see develop: ments on the Pacific Coast. One can not think of sharing in the trade of the Orient without having a repre=] tative at the gateway, Japan, "The opportunities which Mr. Mar- ler possesses are greater than the opportunities possessed by any dip- lomatic representative Canada has ever sent. "Each of our diplomats has been supported by. some wonderful Cana- dian woman: Mrs, Marler's charm and personality, her gracious manner, will support him in his social duties." The toast was given to Mr. and Mrs. Marler, Dean of Diplomats Before asking Mr. Marler, the youngest diplomat of Canada, to speak the chairman asked the Hon, Philippe Roy, dean of Canadian dip- lomats, to say a few words, Dr. Roy had rushed from Vancouver to be present, and told of the amazing de- velopment which had taken place in western Canada since he was there 10 years ago. "I endorse what Mr. Malcolm has said about the wives of ministers in foreign countries," he said, "I certainly owe much to my wife." Behind Mr, Marler were the Union Jack and the Japanese naval flag. One of his first thoughts was to pay tribute to the help of his father, who a little farther ay the table, was watching him keenly and obviously suppressing deep emotion, and to the co-operation of his wife, At the head table were Joseph Sirois, represent- ing the Chamber of Notaries of the Province of Quebec, Michael Hirsch, Ald. J. A, Mathewson, representing the Mayor of Montreal. Sir Arthur Currie, Hon, L, A, David, Sir Wil- liam Clark, British high commission er, C., E. Gravel, president of the Chambre de Commerce, Hon. Herbert M. Marler, W. M, Birks, chairman, Hon, J. A. Malcolm, George C. Mc- Donald, president of the Board of Trade, Hon. Philippe Roy, Sir Henry Thornton, Sir Frederick Williams- Taylor, W. de M. Marler, Dr, Milton Hersey, president of the Reform Club, and F. W, Field, H. M. senior Canadian trade commissioner. Mr, Marler spoke fot an hour. He said : Mr. Marler spoke as follows: "For the kind and all too generous manner in which you have proposed this toast and for the way in which you have received it, I beg to offer you my most humble and grateful thanks, In addition I thank with all the sincerity and gratitude at my command those organizations, and in- deed all present this evening, for this mark of their confidence and for their good wishes on my departure from my home in Montreal to assume the post of His Majesty's Minister for Canada in Japan. To carry away with me that confidence and those good wishes will be a most potent factor--when far away from home-- in assisting and encouraging the ser- vices I am expected to perform in the interest of Canada and the Empire, May I, however, express the ardent hope that when I return from my service in the Orient that then I will be found worthy to again claim your confidence and friendship, which, I assure you, I regard as some of the most precious possessions of my life. "While this honor which you have done me will remain vivid in my memory all ny life, may I, however, observe that the post to which I am proceeding will require, not only my best endeavours, but also those of the lady who some years ago--it is true with much persuasion--did me the honor to assume my name. We are gagally charged with this mission on behalf of the people of Canada--in- deed I can say that what I am ex- pected to do could not be carried out by me alone. Consequently she to whom I have referred shares the honor of this evening equally with myself. I thank you on her behalf and feel confident in asserting that her association in this important po- sition is ample evidence of how prominent a place the women of Can- ada are taking, and very properly taking, in the public affairs of the Dominion, "I am mindful that I address to- night not only those who are pro- minently engaged in our professional, financial and industrial life, but also Pyramid and National Brand Portland Cement Sole Agents Fred Flintoff & Sons 13 King St. W.

Indeed I can say with all humbleness that if I possess the qualities to enable me to fill the position to which I have been called that I attribute the acquisition of those. qualities, not to myself, but far more to those to whom I have made reference, and in particular, if I may say so, from the training, industry and high regard for honor and ser- vice imparted me by the gentleman who sits at this table tonight and whose name I have the honor to bear. If, therefore, I have achieved honor, let me say again in all humble- ness, that I give credit for that achievement far more to you and to him than to myself. Why Our Legations "I know that some have said that the post to which I am proceeding is one of great importance and in- volves the assumption of serious re- sponsibilities; others have said that they see no necessity for Canada to have her Ministers abroad. You have heard both of these opinions, Mind- ful of the gratitude which I owe to those whom I address this evening, certain explanations are expected from me as to why I accepted the post in question and why I believe it is essential for Canada to be repre- sented abroad as my acceptance without any question implies. In view of what I have said, those ex- planations should be given you with candour--not as coming from a par- tisan or from one holding a public office--but' as coming from one of your fellow citizens who particularly desires to leave you under no mis- apprehensions as to his motives or intentions of service. Might I there fore ask you to dismiss from your minds that I speak either as a par- tisan or as a diplomatist. As a mat- ter of fact 1 cannot speak in the former quality because I am bound to serve whatever Government may be in power in Canada. In that re- spect you quite understand that it is the function of a Minister abroad to speak for his country and not for a party. I do mot speak in the latter quality because there is the slight chance that some might say that they have heard that diplomatic utterances arc at times . susceptible of several meanings, May I therefore speak to you as one to whom you have given your confidence and which confidence I ardently desire to retain. Why, therefore, did I accept this post? Why do I firmly believe in the neces- sity of Canada having her legations abroad? "These two questions could in the first instance be readily answered in general terms by saying that none of us have yet met the Canadian, worthy to be called by that name, who bas refused to assume at any time such responsibilities as he is able to as- sume in the service of his country and Empire. In my opinion every such Canadian has done and is doing his share to promote the welfare of his native land and hence the wel- fare of the Empire; some in one kind of service, others in another; some in our public life, others in our pro- fessional, financial or industrial life, and yet others in our agricultural life; some are engaged at home, others are engaged abroad--but all without regard to class of service are doing their best to promote the welfare of Canada--to keep its public life clean and uncorrupted--and to create a great nation of value to it- self, the Empire and to the world at large. Our record of development in the past clearly proves all this. Our record of achievement, loyalty and suffering in other lands is ample cvidence of the truth of what I say. If all this is true, as I believe it to be true, how can we stand still and refuse to take an interest in affairs outside of our own country which are of vital interest to itself and to the British Commonwealth of which we are a part? Not to take an in- terest in such affairs is an evidence of weakness--an evidence of inferi- ority, Do we admit such weakness? Do we admit any such inferiority? On the contrary, cannot we claim for Canadians equality with any other nation of the oe PR in making such claim we must be prepared to substantitate it by taking jobs pleas- ant or unpleasant abroad in the ser- vice of Canada the same way as Englishmen and those of other na- tions much to their credit, have done in the service of their respective countries from time immemorial, "To say that we can be a hermit nation is merely another way of dis- carding the services for which our forefathers strived for a hundred and fifty years--another way of denying our position in the British Common- wealth--because we Canadians have two duties of equal importance, one to ourselves and the other to the GEEAILL f Avon House Seventeen rooms representing a vivid and authorative panorama of the history of home furnish. ing.
