MANY SPEAKERS AT BIG BANQUET (Continued from page .) those speakers "specially designa- ted" by the Toastmaster and to whom the rule of brevity did not apply, nevertheless only spoke very briefly in replying to this toast. "We have a wonderful province" said the Premier, although he ex- pressed the opinion that the occa- sion was not one for him to stress this fact, "I will rather take the opportunity of saying some thing regarding the, origin of our citizen- ship, The character and personnel of our citizens so that Earl Jellicoe, and the delegates from over-seas, will know something of the people amongst whom they are." He recalled that the citizens of today are "the fifth and sixth gen- eration of the original settlers. That small band of United Empire Loyalists who, refusing to live un- der the flag of any other nation but the British Empire, leit all and trekked into the virgin forest to lay the foundations of this province. "Ever since that time there has been a perpetual trek of British citizens from the tight little islands in the North Sea, so it will not be surprising to our distinguished guests that, when called upon to de- fend the Empire, the men of Onta- rig replied in no half-hearted way. "This is the first opportunity that has come my way to welcome the distinguished Admiral, your guest, to the Province of Ontario" said the Premier, "Every man, woman, boy and girl is glad to welcome him. He represents, in the best sense, the England which domina- ted in that great struggle through which we passed. Our hearts warm to him as we welcome him to On- tario. "It was my privelege some years ago to welcome the late Earl Haig, who at that time was the President of the Empire Service League. Earl Haig held the destiny of the Empire in his hands on land, as Commander in Chief. It is there- fore a peculiar pleasure for me to welcome the Admiral of the Fleet. We will never forget the day when the destiny of the Empire was plac- ed in his hands, and now we wel- come this man who measured up to the confidence placed in him and is now our national hero insofar as the forces of the sea are concerned" said the Premier. He expressed his appreciation of the fact that he had been invited to attend such a gathering, stating "it is a privilege to be able to look into such faces in such trying times when one would almost feel like laying down the gavel if I did not think the citizens of the province, irrespective of politics, are behind me, "Responsibilities are sometimes heavy on the shoulders of those who are burdened with them. You men have served, you realize what the responsibilities were on those who were your leaders. You know and understand. You are playing your part to solve those difficult problems that develop, especially as regards ex-servicemen, in these trying times" said Mr. Henry, Toast to Canada Major F. G: Sanderson M.P., of St. Mary's, present as representing Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, Leader of the Opposition in the Dominion House who was unfortunately un- able to attend, proposed the toast to The Dominion of Canada. He expressed his thanks at "being present at such a gathering of hundreds of men and women who have fought and bled that Canada should remain under the British flag." Referring to the problems faced by the Canadian Legion Major Sanderson stated "I want to say this. Down in Ottawa we may play politics, we often do, but when it comes to the problems of returned men and their dependents I have never seen politics played in the House of Commons. Every mem- ber of parliament, no matter where he sits, makes an honest and de- termined effort to do all in his pow- er to do everything possible on their behalf. "As regards the Pension Act it is far from perfect but we have not finished with it yet. Not very far hence we will have a pension Act that will do justice to every re- tuned man. and his dependents." c referred to Canada as "a country second to none in the world, Canada went through a testing time in the Great War, We are again going through a time of testing during this period of de- pression, lf we count our bless- ings and forget our troubles then we will come through, as we did in the Great War, with colours flying" said Major Sanderson, Dr. T. E. Kaiser Speaking in response to the toast to Canada Dr, Kaiser drew atten- tion to Canadian history, stating "the victories of peace are some- times as great as the victories of war. We are proud of what our Canadian soldiers have done, and we will see that they are rewarded as best we can, but we still ask them to serve." Referring to the repudiation of obiigations by Soviet Russia Dr. Kaiser stated "Russia could not at- tempt to go ahead if she had done as other nations do and recognized her obligations." Toast To The Legion The gathering was asked to drink a toast to the British Empire Ser- vice League by Lt. Colonel J. Keillor Mackay, the Provincial President of the Canadian Legion. In coupling the name of Earl Jellicoe with their toast Col. Mac- Kay stated that the Admiral "is one of those men who believe in the destiny of the League and are de- termined that it shall go forward. Like the British Empire the British Empire Service League is invincible because it is right, enduring be- cause it is just." He referred to the Royal Navy as having a dual duty in peace and in war, "its chief interest being in maintaining the prestige and glory of our flag." Earl Jellcoe The guest of honour, Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe, Grand Pres- ident of the British Empire Service League, in responding to the toast proposed to the League expressed lis own thanks and the thanks of the delegates accompanying him, "for the many kind words that have been said about us this evening." "I also want to say how deeply we appreciated the immense wel- come extended to us by the people of Oshawa. I never, and I think the other delegates will agree with me, have ever received such a splendid welcome before. Since making en- quiries I learn that your population is about 25,000, 1 should have said there was something like fifty thou- sand lining your streets. "I was glad to notice the children" said the Admiral, "I do not know the rate at which your population is increasing. I read the other day that four babies are born every minute in Japan. I don't know how you do these things in Oshawa. I also want to congratulate the peo- ple of Oshawa on the splendid ap- pearance of their children," said the Admiral. Speaking of the League of which he is the elected head of the Ad- miral stated "in the first place it has two main objects,--work for the benefit of ex-servicemen in the community; and to strengthen the ties of Empire, and the unity of the Empire. "As regards the first object the British Legion has done a great deal in its attempts to alleviate the suffering of ex-service men, women, and children. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa the same great results are obtained. This is not done with out a great deal of hard work. Sometimes we we make ourselves unpopular with the government of the day. Wheth- er you have or not--The Premier of Ontario shakes his head--evidently you are to be congratulated on the delicate manner in which your ng- gotiations are carried on and the tact which you exercise. "This is the tenth year of the League's existence, It was organiz- ed by the late Field Marshall Earl Haig in February 1921, and has been growing year by year ever since. "Secondly,--we do a great deal, I hope, to strengthen the unity of the Empire. One way we work is in promoting trade within the Empire. We work, for instance, in the schools in England. We have maps showing the different products of the Dominions and Colonies within the Empire. We hope that when the children grow older, and set up housekeeping, they will promote Empire trade by buying Empire products. "All over England are seen pla- cards giving information about Em- pire goods, We also urge upon our shopkeepers if they do not produce Empire goods we will not go into their shops. Must Be Unity "The Empire is an institution of which we must all be proud" con- tinged Earl Jellicoe. We must see that without union there can be no possible degree of cohesion. It was unity that brought the Empire through the Great War. It was unity that brought you of Canada in your hundreds of thousands to help the Mother Country and to save the day." In concluding his address, which was, only too brief, Earl Jellicoe stated "for the next week 1 have a speech at every meal that I eat. There are delegates here who have heard what I have said and also what I am going to say on future occasions many times. They are be- ginning to look bored. "Again I say thanks for your per- sonal welcome, "The Canadian Legion has grown in strength splendidly and I know how your work is going forward, how you are able to assist the men who have fought for King and Country and who are suffering from the general depression. "This is not the last time that we will meet and I am already looking forward to the next occasion when I hope to have something a little more interesting than I am able to give you to-night. Earl Jellicoe was given a great ovation by the huge assembly as he resumed his seat. The British Empire The toast to the Empire was pro- posed by Brig.-General Alex. Ross, Vice-President of the Dominion Command, Canadian Legion, who stated that the occasion was a most momentous one "men here whose names are synonymous with that of the British Empire, men upon whose strength the Empire is founded." "When we drink to the toast of "The British Empire', we do not do so in idleness. It is something real and sincere just as it is when we drink to The King" said, Gen. Ross in a brief but telling address. South African Delegate The imperial toast was replied to by Brig.-General J. S. Wylie, of South Africa, a delegate to the coming convention of the B.ES.L. Asking why it was that other em- pires haye fallen Gen. Wylie stated "because they were founded by the sword, lived by the sword, and ev- entually died by the sword, but the British Empire is founded on' justice and freedom and because of that will continue for year and centuries to come. "The British Empire never made slaves; never interfered with the language of the religion of any country," said the speaker who drew attention to the remarkable condi- tions which prevailed in instituting self-government in South Africa. "Can any man conceive of an Empire capable of producing a Haig. a Jellicoe, or your Canadian Currie, that can fall? "It was a Prime Minister of Eng- land who said 'the navy is not of us, it ts us," said the General. "I am not one of the pessimists about the Empire. I am an optimist. I have travelled all over the Empire and every place I go I think more highly of it." The Canadian Legion Ald. George T. Morris proposed the toast to the Canadian Legion in a brief but able speech in which he paid tribute to the work of the Oshawa branch, and the individual efforts of the local president, M McIntyre Hood, the Toastmaster of the evening. "If for no other reason than for the services yqu are able to render to the less fortunate it is well worth while" said Ald, Morris who is chairman of the civic 'committee which had charge of arrangements for the occasion. The Dominion President The toast to the Legion was re- spgnded to by the Dominion Pres- DOMINION CLOTHING COMPANY'S ident Major J. S. Roper, of Halifax. "The Canadian Legion is part and parcel of the British Empire Service League, and we are very proud of that", said Major Roper who hum- orously suggested. that the major- ity of those present had been drink- ing their own healths. Major Roper, on behaif of the Legion, in a few sincere words ex- presed- to Earl Jellicoe the hope that his daughter "would soon be restored to health and strength." The Dominion President asked and answered three questions:-- "What is the Canadian Legion" "What do we want?" "What have we to give?" In answer to his first question he described the organization as " a body of 105,000 members banded to- gether by ties of love. A national organization, The greatest non-pol- itical organization in the Empire. "What do we want? Justice. Freedom from worry and suffering for those who are justly entitled to it through service--but this is no time to be in a hurry. We must be careful to do the right thing in the right place at the right time, "What have we to give? The same effort, the same service, that we gave in 1914--ourscives." The Press The toast to The Press was pro- posed by Lt.-Col. C. H. Ackerman, immediate past president of the On- tario Provincial Command, who, in paying tribute to the support given by the press to the cfforts of the Legion suggested that it might be well for the Dominion Command Officers to co-operate more fully with the Canadian Press Associa- tion in obtaining publicity for their efforts. This toast was responded to by A. R. Alloway, publisher of The Times who drew attention to the fact that all great movements which depend- ed for their success on public sup- port looked tg the press for assist- ance in gaining that suport, He expressed the opinion that the press of Canada, as a whole," is in- terested in, and thoroughly in svm pathy with the magnificent work be- ing carried on by the Canadian Le- gion." He also suggested that the Legion officials should "trust the press. Take its representatives into your confidence" if they hoped to ob- tain their fair share of public sup- part. "Our Guests" The last toast of the evening, that to "Our Guests" was proposed by Ald. P. A. MacDonald, who referred to the occasion as one which would be long remembered in Oshawa. He stated that Oshawa, "the City Council and every citizen, appreci- ates the opportunity of showing hospitality to the guests here for the convention," and expresed the hope that the convention would prove a successful one from cevry point of view. Speaking in reply to Ald. Mac- Donald, Major-General Sir Frede- rick Maurice, one of the Empire's most distinguished soldiers, stated that "the gathering was symbolic of that unity which our founder, the late Earl Haig, preached four years ago, and symbolic of that unity now being preached by Earl Jellicoe," "Unity of service, unity of pur- pose; that is going to bring the units of the British Empire back to prosperity," said Sir Frederick, Mote particularly addressing the mayor of Oshawa the speaker con- gratulated him, and through him ev- ery citizen, on the manner in which Oshawa had shown its hospitality. "In doing this you are taking a step which will gertainly help to bring back that prosperity which lies just ahead. The ex-servicemen did their bit in the war and we are going to do our bit now and in the future. "Every time 1 come to Canada I obtain new courage and new hope, and now we, your guests, wish you a speedy return to prosperity," said Sir Frederick. M. Mcintyre Hood At the end of the toast list the toastmaster, M. McIntyre Hood, stated that the occasion had been a most inspiring one. "The addres- ses have brought us new thoughts and new ideals of what lies behind the Canadian Legion, "At this time our thoughts go back to the little white crosses which mark the resting places of so many of our comrades. I see them now, not covered with the mud, grime and slime of the war but ra- ther as if on parade with their boots and - buttons polished and their faces lit up with the glory of the Great Adventure. "Their message to us is "Don't worry about us, we are still carry- ing on; coupled with the challenge 'what are you doing, are still serv. ing? are you still living? are you still exemplifying the ideals of the Legion that the country shall be worthy of the sacrifice we have made?' "That is the challenge that comes to us from our fallen comrades. 'We are still carrying on, but what are You doing?'", : Th 293 MARY STREE | = Announcing The Opening of the Ideal Dairy Ltd.
