GOWAN As a supporter of all sport J sincerely extend 'to the Lacrosse Boys my heartiest congratulations for their wonderful achievement in winning the Dominion champion- ship, an honor that will remain dear to their hearts through their whole lifetime. J. T. GOWAN, VIEWS EMPIRE AS FACTOR FOR PEACE Lord Bishop of Winchester Suggests International Law AT CANADIAN CLUB Noted Churchman Talks on Responsibilities of Commonwealth Montreal, Sept. 12.--The possi- #ility of a time when all nations would agree to submit to an inter- national law which would govern their relations, even as cities while keeping their autonomous munici- pal government submit to the sup- erior authority of the national gov- ernment; the moral factors wncn are necessary to make such a con- summation possible, and the role which the British commonwealth of nations may be called upon to play in these changes, so as to bring about the state of international peace, were the subjects of discus- slon in an address by Right Rev. F. T. Woods, D.D., Bishop of Win- chester, before the members of the Canadian Club at lunch on Tues- day. International Law He pointed out that the things by reason of which nations strove to keep their individual entity, such as 18, liberty, justice, na- tionality and idealism were all es- sentials to the successful establish- ment of an international law to which all nations would be subject, and that there was little hope of achieving world peace by piling up armaments more and more, and at the same time loudly talking or peace at social gatherings. His Lordship sad that he was very grateful for the warmth of his reception, "rather warmer nan is comfortable for a person of my size and build," he added, making jocular reference to the heat of the day and his weight. "I count it a high honor ww be allowed to address this club," he proceeded, "and I also count it somewhat of a hardshin because I come across to Canada for the first time not to speak, and still less to teach, but to learn. T tnmk it is a little hard when we poor trav- ellers come from the Old Country in order to learn that we should at once be put upon our feet and ex- pected to speak, if not to teach." The distinguished visitor then turned to his subject, "The Foun- dation of Imperial Responsibility." Glory of Greece "We beieve," spenking of na- tions as well as individuals, that 'there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will, »s and Citizens To General Motors Team WHAT A WELCOME (Toronto Mail and Empire) General Motors' champion "a- osse team, winners of the senior 0.A.L.A. and the Mann cup, are due to arrive home Friday night at 6.30, and what a welcome it is going to be The team will be met at the station by the band, the mayor and other celebrities and taken to Lakeview park, where there will be the usual ceremonies and presentations, The mayor will present the freedom of the city to the players, and anybody who has ever been to the Oshawa bonspiel knows what that means, NATIONALS SOCCER CLUB The Oshawa Nationals Soccer Club wish to join with the citizens of Oshawa in congratulating the General Motors Senior Lacrosse team, and this message voices a pérsonal message of congratula- tions from our club to each player on the Dominion Champions' tem. James, Miller, Pres., Oshawa Na- tionals Soccer Club. THE OSHAWA KIWANIS CLUB The Oshawa Kiwanis Club wish to extend their most hearty con- gratulations to the General Motors Senior Lacrosse Club in displaying such a high calibre of true Cana- dian sportsmanship in winning the Dominion championship, bringing great honor to our city, A. J. PARKHILL, Pres. of Oshawa Kiwanis Club. GENERAL MOTORS BASEBALL CLUB The executive and members of the General Motors' Baseball Club wish to convey the heartiest of congratu- lations to the winners of the Mann Cup, emblematic of the lacrosse supremacy of Canada. The fact that this feat 1s one that requires the best in the game should make every Osh- awa citizen proud of the Oshawa twelve who have successfully brought to Oshawa the Historic Trophy. A. M. McDONALD, President General Motors Baseball - Club, OSHAWA TENNIS CLUB On this momentous occasion the citizens of Oshawa and especially the other sporting fraternities ex- tend to the Dominion champions the thanks and congratulations due them. The Oshawa Tennis Club heartily joins in the popular ac- cord, ' S..F. EVERSON, Pres. Oshawa Tennis Club. Looking back over the past, how true this is. Who can doubt that in the providence of God the little nation of Greece was raised up in order to teach the world how to think, and to teach it the glory of beauty. A little nation, insignifi- cant, and yet it flourished and blossomed to its full in an extra- ordinary short space of time, "The same. is true of that other remarkable people, the Romans, who were raised up with equal sig- nificance to teach the world *the glory of law and order. "Equally true was it of that oth: er little nation of Israel sent in.v the world to teach the world the grace' of religion, "If that be true and not fantas | tic, I say without hesitation that the same Providence has placed in the world today this group of na tions which we all Commonwealth for an equally def inite purpose. The constitution of the Ontario Amateur L A 1 -- THE GENERAL MOTORS JUNIOR LACROSSE TEAM OF 1928 tion require that [of the boys who constituted the General Motors entry in the junior series [first year of experience in the junior every senior club must also qperate a junior team. Above is a photograph | of the O.A.L.A. last year. The team made an excellent showing for its itizens Congratulate the Champs of Appeal. The same law must run through Europe.' "We are feeling our way toward that. But with the League of Na- tions on the one hand and the Kei logg Pact on the other, we seegthe beginnings of a new system where- by one law shall reign throughout the nations of the world. Power of Sacrifice "But we are only at the begin- ning of that process, and the only hope ' for accomplishment {is the power of not merely wisdom and foresight, but self-sacrifice by which each nation shall be ready to renounce absolute sovereignty and to acknowledge, at least in part, the authority of the whole great body. "After all, it is only a matter of repeating on an international scale what we all do and are accustomed to do as citizens, , "The Englishman's house »s his castle, and I suppose that is true of the Canadian. Even so an Eng- lishman acknowledges his sover eign responsibilities to town and state, he pays his taxes, he does his duty. After what happened be- tween 1914 and 1918 we all know that he does his duty to the death. "In doing so he does not imag- ine that he abrogates to his detri- ment any serious part of his per- sonal responsibilities. Nor need the nationg suppose that they are go- ing to abrogate any part of their true and proper functions and re- sponsibilities if by acknowledging international law, they abrogate their sovereignty to at least that extent, Need Peace Action "The sacrifice involved in the chain of mind and system which' this presupposes, is the sacrifice vhich we all ought to be ready to pay for peace. It is all very well to talk loudly and glibly of peace, but I venture to think that a great deal of this peace talk ought to be followed more closely by peace ac- tion. "We need to contemplate disarm- ament on a scale which hitherto the nations have been unwilling to contemplate. We cannot have ar- maments and peace together, "When you look at Europe. to- day you are confronted by the solid fact that armaments show but very little sign of being reduced. We must not stand in a state of bewil- derment imagining that we can gain security for this nation or that by piling up armaments ana talking loudly and glibly of peace on such functions as this today. "We 'have got to make our choice and we have got to make tne sacrifice involved. - Instinct of Liberty '"Another of the foundations oui our Imperial responsibilities is lib- erty. This immortal idea was con- secrated by the precious blood of our men. It is the instinct and has always been the instinct of the Bri- tish people to go to any length in order to secure liberty for the indi- vidual and liberty for the state. You have only to survey the oc- casions upon which Europe 'was threatened with tyranny to see how every time the instinct of the Bri- tish nation asserted itself, ¢ "I have spoken of my grounds. It was on these grounds that Henry V was entertained by the Bisnup of Winchester the day before he crossed the Channel for the fight immortalized by Shakespeare. We think of Philip of Spain spending a night in the deanery while Mary spent a night in the castle on my grounds before their marriage in Winchester Cathedral. It will re- mind me for all times the struggle for liberty with which the name of Philip of Spain is associated." The speaker asserted that out. side the British Commonwealth there were three great dangers in many tountries and one could not think of Russia, Spain or Italy without realizing this. Rightly or wrongly the authorities of those countries had thought fit to curtail the liberty of thought, speech and action on a scale which was almost pnparalleled, certainly so in recent times. . "I heard today that your son fs an undertaker. I thought you said he was agdoctor?" "Not at all. I said he followed the medical profession." The man who feels a small job beneath him is invariably . too small for a large one. - the British | "I should not dare to say in iu. i words of General Smuts of South Africa that 'the British Common- wealth is the greatest institution for good which exists in the woria today.' First Foundation "That is a very large statement, but assuming it to be true, what are its foundations. I have undei- taken to try and speak on the foun. dation of Imperial responsibilities. aul { say that the first of these fqundations is law." The chairman ,in introducin: His Lordship, had referred to the association of King Alfred with the See of Winchester, and the speaker went on to tell the members of the club that if he did not live 1u the house where the celebrated King spoiled thec akes, he lived on thes pot where the King's castle used to be. On his tennis court, almost be- yond doubt, Edgar held his court and summoned his aldermen, and took that great decision whereby 7 kingdoms became one. On tuo grounds in which he lived were written the first pages of the An- glo-Saxon Chronicle. "When I think of law," continu- ed the Bishop, "I cannot forget Al- fred and his enthusiasm for 'law and order and education. Every Provincial Legislature is the out- ward and visible sign of that mign- ty foundation. I suppose the grav- est problem which confronts the twentieth century is how to make the laws respected and obeyed, not merely in one's own country, not merely in Europe, not merely on this side of the Atlantic, but throughout the countries of the world. "I read this morning how the distinguished French statesman, M. Briand had in his mind an amazing plan for an United States of Eur- ope. He is not the first person or the first Frenchman to countenance 80 great a project. ' It was.no less a person than Napoleon who used these words, 'I have not yet ful- filled my mission.
