Hon. Win- ston Churchill, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the Baldwin Government, declared that most people were under the impression that Great Britain was down and out, and had seen her best days, but this was opposite to the true state of affairs. "Britain," he asserted, "is stead- ily growing in wealth, health, power and education. There never was a time of such prosperity." Referring to the "dole," Mr. Churchill quoted Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas' description of it as "The most perfect scheme for the sup- port of the unemployed in any state or country." The speaker said the men drawing. this money were the same men who paid the premiums into the "dole" fund in brighter times. Summing up the pessimistic reports of the unem- ployment situation, Mr. Churchill said: "There is nothing which would lead anyone to believe that these reports are true. The miners are the symbol of the power of our race, man-power and endurance." Remained Intact In opening, Mr. Churchill refer- red to himself as a traveller seek- ing knowledge, leisure and change. In the course of that search he spoke of having visited Wininpeg nearly 30 years ago. "What chang- es those years have seen," he con- tinued. "In no similar period have war and science so affected mankind. The structures of em- pires have been swept away in Rus- sia, Germany, Austria and Turkey, but we have come through intact, united and stronger than. ever." Mr. Churchill declared that the greatest interest of Great Britain was in the maintenance of peace. "We need it,"" he asserted. "Peace is our object and our aim." He quoted President Hoover's state- ment that "not in 50 years has the outlook for world peace been so Piles Go Quick Piles are caused by congestion of blood in the lower bowel.

Mr. Balfour had said that peace would continue in all civilizea countries. The speaker spoke of subversive propaganda. 'By the most artful means we would be coaxed into' giving up our rights. Alarmist propaganda would firght- en British statesmen, and even the people, into abandoning their rights." Navy Essential The British Navy, he declared, was essential and vital to the se- curity of the Empire. 'When our navy was supreme, did it abuse our power?" he inquired. (Cries of No.) By the agreement of 1921 the British and American battle fleets were made equal, Britain re- taining her superiority in minor craft, an exception made necessary by the dissimilar positions of the nations, the United States, compact in its vastness and self-sustain- ing, while three-quarters of the food consumed in Britain was de- pendent upon the maintenance of uninterrupted commerce on the seas. "Equality," "in the minor said Mr. Churchill, craft would conse- quently mean British inferiority. That I should deeply regret. Yet I can see nothing which should prevent peace and goodwill be- tween the two nations despite the disparity in minor naval craft." He next dealt with Egypt, de- scribing how that country had de- veloped and prospered under Brit- ish influence as contrasted to the 'condition of anarchy and barbar- ism which existed before British garrisons were established there. He predicted that when these gar- risons were withdrawn to the Suez banks there would be a slow re- turn of the country to the rack and ruin from which it had been res- cued. Singapore Base Speaking of Australia's depend- ence upon the Suez Canal as a link with the Empire, he said Singapore was simply a base designed to safe- guard contact with Australia and New Zealand. Singapore was not a threat or menace to any nation, "least of all to our ally Japan." The British Empire would cease to be a reality if there were no phyi- cal navy to bind Australia and New Zealand to the other parts of the Empire. 'By means of Singapore, we return to them the protection that they gave us in the war. That is the only argument for Singa- pore." Mr. of the Churchill spoke vigorously 'new danger of Commun- Poultry Supplies Mixed Scratch Grain, Full-O- Pep Chic Starter, Full-O-Pen Growing Mash, Full-O-Pep Egg Mash, Bran, Shorts, Middlings, Corn Chop, Oat Chop, Oyster Shell, Beef Scrap, Grit. Hogg & Lytle LIMITED ism." "We must act with cour- age and repeat the old invocation: 'Briton, hold your own!' " Communists, said Mr. Churchill, are not merely the representatives of a doctrine, but of a planned campaign of destruction of exist- ing institutions. Mr. Churchill then dwelt with Dominion status. 'United, we can meet all things and, therefore, why not hold together?" The Im- perial Conference of 1926 swept away all obstacles in our minds. "All the self-governing Dominions have equal status with one anoth- er and with the Mother Country. A solf-governing Dominion of the Empire enjoys fuller freedom than one of the American states. We are held together firmly only by a spontaneous and voluntary allegi- ance. It is your crown and our Empire. even as it is ours. Guard it and cherish it as it has guarded and cherished you." Continuing, He said: 'Other na- tions may look on our Empire and say: 'It will not last." But, it has lasted you. It has passed through those fires built to encompass its destruction: The ties of Empire are duty, sentiment and tradition. The ordinary citizen helps forward the cause of Empire. It is the golden circle of the Crown that links us to the power which the British Em- pire has founded for the joy, peace and glory of mankind." MAN AND WIFE DIE IN CROSSING CRASH Girl Also Injured When Train Hits Sedan--No Eye-Witnesses Toronto, Aug. 26.--Two Toron- tonians met death and a third seri- ous injury when the C.N.R. train from Allandale to Hamilton struck a motor car at the Thornton level crossing 10 miles south of Barrie on Saturday evening. George W. Holmes, aged 45, of 16 Rowntree avenue, wag instantly killed; his wife, Jennie Holmes, aged 40, was fearfully mangled and died 10 minutes after admittance to the Barrie Royal Victoria hos- pital, while Vera' English, aged 14, of 189 Dunraven drive, suffered severe head injuries and is in a serious condition in the same hos- pital. The accident occurred at 5.15, Saturday evening, on the level crossing one-quarter of a mile north of Thornton. The railroad tracks cross the county highway at an, angle of 40 degrees. Holmes was driving a light sedan of a 1924 series. A heavy truck was moving along the road in front of his car, Both approached the railroad tracks. The big truck rumbled across the rails and along the stretch of highway on the oth- er side. Holmes followed. There followed a terrific crash. The light car was caught by the cowcatcher of the locomotive, which was traveling about 45 miles an hour. The train was brought to a stop within 150 yards. Wil- liam Hill, of Allandale, the engin- eer, reversed his engine, according to the police, and the automobile was drawn about 100 yards back along' the line. Holmes' body had been tossed from the car. The engineer and fireman, B. Macdonald of Allan- dale, found it lying about eight feet south of the car in the ditch. Mrs. Holmes and the English grt were inside the car, both terribly cut. Hill, Macdonald and Joe Quin- lan, of Hamilton, the conductor, managed to extricate the two injur- ed women, Both were laid on the grass at the side of the single track.
