These ecir-{- cumstances, if nothing more, would make his memory last in the minds of men. "Wilson, like Lincoln and other great idealists, has not lived to: see his dreams realized. Nevertheless his work will be carried on to his own glory and the permanent benefit of mankind. In the national sense he led his country out onto the road of world affairs, from which there is no turning back. The tragedy of it all," the one- time premier mused, "is that Wood- row Wilson's failing was his inability to subdue personalities--his refusal to give up personal animosities. This weakness caused his failure to realize his ideals during his lifetime, but in thu end it was his weakness which doubtless contributed to his death. Could Have Realized Ideals:-- "If the president had been willing to sacrifice personal prejudices to ob- tain the general support of his people at home, he could have realized his league of nations ideal by this means it is certain, in view of the conecssions which the Eurpoean powers would have made to the American desires for changes in the league plan.

Ford carries the burdens of Empire trade on the hill-trails of India, on the African veldt,on the sheep-stations of Australia and New Zealand, on the plantations of Ceylon and Burma, on the rubber estates of Malaya and on the jungle-paths of Borneo.

Made in Canada for the Empire The Ford car is completely made in Canada with the exception of parts to the value of $15.02. ceau, Wilson was incomprehensible. The United States president embodied the highest type of the idealism which, on occasions, manifests itself among i the Scotch and Anglo-Saxons, an ideal- j ism, which, the former premier added, 'no man can live up to al the time. Naturally, at moments, there was a i slackening, and compromising, and , then to the French all of Wilson's idealism was sheer hypocrisy. : See Any Authorized Ford Dealer na Reunion 'Newioundlan Fiji Now Caledonia British New Guinea © Australia ~ New Zealand Aden Myasaland &i IR Siiaora ' Yutch Borneo - TRACTORS er-27C GOUGH'S CONFECTIONERY "ea Crescent Ice Cream Bricks __.__. . i The Ol d Co-operative Stor op N--"
