Lord Tweedsmuir was described as a "great democrat" and a man "who gave his life for this country Just as if he had fallen on the field of battle." Premier Hepburn, in moving the resolution, said there was no precedent to guide the Leg-- islature, as never before had a Gov-- ernor--General died while holding * office. b "HMe has gone, but his record as a public servant and his contribution to literature, will live on," said the Premier. "In every land some writer has immortalized his native country. Lord Tweedsmuir was a great writer, and in the years he spent in Canada he travelled the length and breadth of the Dominion * and became one of us." s "A Great Canadian." Both Premier Hepburn and Colo-- nel Drew expressed the hope that j the data compiled by Lord 'Tweeds-- muir on Canada would be completed by his literary executors and made public. * "Britain has lost a great citizen," said the Premier. "Canada has lost a great Canadian." Colonel Drew, in seconding the resolution of sympathy, said that only the highest type of spiritual and physical endurance sustained Lord Tweedsmuir in his great task at a time when failing health must have made the heavy responsibil-- ities of his office almost an intol-- erable burden. "He carried on to the last, inspired by his supreme faith in the future of an Empire which has undertaken $ to preserve in government the principles of Christianity itself," said Colonel Drew. "Although he was surrounded by all the dignity and circumstance which is accord-- ed the representative in Canada of our Sovereign Lord the King, he ' remained at all times the lovable and friendly Scotsman who con-- ducted himself with the modest simplicity of the son of a Presby-- terian minister." Hon. Paul Leduc, Minister of Mines, expressed the feelings of the French--Canadian people of the Prov-- * ince at the death of the Governor-- General. He was followed by Arthur Roebuck (Lib.. Bellwoods), and Colonel Fraser Hunter (Lib., St. Pat-- b ricks).
