Mackean A large and appreciative audience turned out Tuesday night to the tune of considerably over one hundred strong, appreciative of the musical qualities, socialibility, kindly willingâ€" ness in every good work and general worth of Mrs H. B. McLean in whose honor the meeting was held in view of her approaching removal to Torâ€" onto. The mecting in charge of the Y.P.S., was opened by the Presidont, Miss Marion Muir by devotional exâ€" ercises, after which a short program was given, awaiting the arrival of the honored one from Toronto. Messrs W. W. Ramage, Thos Weir and Jas Milne each contributed solâ€" os, Jno Russell a humorous skit, Alâ€" lie Mclunes and W McKechnie on violin and organ respectively and Miss Grace Ramage a piano solo. Both instrumental selections were encored and responded to freely. Mr John L. McDonald of Ottawa, spoke on socialibility among young people and dilated on the desirabiliâ€" ty of just such qualities as were obâ€" servable here toâ€"night. He expres sed his pleasure at being with them on this ocesion, when an old frieud was being honored. The evening wore on and at last the company were rewarded by the appearance of Mrs McLean, who was received with hearty applause. _ Car trouble had delayed her arrival, but all was forgotten in the happy how‘s which followed. s The following address was sead by Miss Hilda McKechnie and a pres entation made of a silver tea service and a cut glass sherbet set. She reâ€" plied appropriately and feelingly. . The addess was spoken to in the order named by W.W. Ramage, Mrs Parslow, Farquhar Oliver, M.P.P. Rev. 8. G McCormack and J M Mc Gillivray, all voicing appreciation and pleased to pay tribute to the honored guest _A happy social hour We handle the the Car load. you buy ed the meeting.

We have apprec iated your willing help more than we are able to express in words and we take this way of showing in part our feelings toward you. j We hope that happiness and sucâ€" cess go with you to your new home and with all our hearts we wish "That each day may be a milestone Along a pleasant way ; With a song and a smile at every And a friend not far away" Signed on behalf of the young peo ple ang choir. Marion Muir, Pres. Y.P.S. W. Ramage, choir leader PRICEVILLE & GLENELG Sunday was an ideal day and afâ€" forded opportunty to all church go ers to be in their pew to listen to good discourses on Easter Sunday in all the worshipping houses of prayâ€" er over the dominion. This Monday a. m. 18th April, has a summer like appearance. The farmâ€" ing community in general taking out their seed drills and the present day users have no idea of the manner their grandfathers sowed in handfuls, keeping time with hand and step. We are reminded of the words of the Psalmist that in earth a handiul of seed is sown, with promise of a good yield at harvest time. ‘The old drag V harrow is used among stuinps and stones and the old ill fed oxen is pushed along by using the old beech persuader to urge them along. We have noticed for some time the criticisms hurled at our lady member of South Grey. All she said and did was in good faith but there is no one perfect. She might make unintenâ€" tional mistakes. We are told in holy writ that there will be wars and rumors of wars and nations will rise up against nations and these evenis must be and necessary preparations must be made in training the young men for to be prepased in case of war. See Matthew 24, chap : 6, 7. What an enormous salary for M. P‘s at $75 a day. What a contrast to the teacher who got only $500 a year for 10 monthsâ€"only $50 a month. But we are not casting any refleeâ€" tions on our good lady MP. If she did make a motion to reduce the ; pay she would only be hooted down as on previous occas ions. So grit and tory all agree that $75 a day is good pay. ~ I notice the death of an old Priceâ€" ville boy, Robert Ferguson of London Ont at 75 years of age. Mr Ferguson was born and reared in Priceville. For a time he taught public school and later was one of the high school teachers in O. Sound. When a young lad he helped his father who was a pot ash maker in gathering ashes, and from that old time work became one of the noted citizens of London, by being coroner for about 20 years. The writer knew the young lad from childhood. On one occasion he hneard two men talking in English at his father‘s door. He quickly ran in and told his mother two men were cackâ€" }llng like hens outside. Becacse they were not talking Gaelic, he thought Sorry to hear of the illness of Mrs Campbell Sr. of the North line. We hope the good old lady will recover .from her ailment. it cackling.. But as years passed aâ€" way, he forgot his mother language, the Gaelic. Jn this vicinity Mr. Ferâ€" guson has cousins, Mrs. Robert Shortâ€" reed, Durham Road Glenelg; Mrs. Nichol and Miss McLachlan on con. 2, East Gar. Road, Glenelg, the family of the late John Robertson, formerly tailor of Durham, and other friends, who will join with us in sending conâ€" dolence to the bereaved. We extend condolence to the late Mr Neil McLean‘s family of Durham in the death of a beloved husband and father. The old must die, while the youth may, but death is no reâ€" spector of persons. We also send condolence to the family of the late Mr Anthony Lawrence. We often in many years experienced the kindness of Mr and Mrs Lawrence and family when on duty in Glenelg. Pleased to hear Mrs H. Greenwood of the Durham Road is getting well again after her long iliness. She was carefully nursed by Miss Margaret McLean of Lambton St., Durham. Rev. Mr Sutherland of Priceville, will be leaving next week for his new appointment in the lower Province. Many teachers will enjoy the Easâ€" ter holidays at their respective homes and elsewhere. We notice fall wheat having a good appearance. Fall ploughing is g3etâ€" ting pretty hard and dry, and takes an extra stroke of the cultivator to make it fit for gowing. That was a good history of Durham given by young Miss Grant in last week‘s Review. Mrs Jyckson and son Bob, attendâ€" ed the funeral of Mrs J‘s aunt, Mrs. Dean, of near Galt, last Wednesday. Mrs J.

Mr and Mrs Chas Wale entertainâ€" ed their friends an evening last week. Mrs Chas Wale was in Toronto on Tuesday last. One of Mr Ainslie McPhail‘s fine bav term got so badly kicked it had to be shot. Mr Geo. Gilkes‘® house now occuâ€" pied by Mr Jno. Bittorf nearly fell a prev to flatmies Monday am. . The timely assistance of neighbors saved the building. A large patch of shinâ€" gloes was burnt off. having caught from a fire in the chimney. Miss Jean Hill visited with Miss Laverne McEachnie over the week end. Wed., April 20, the girls who have taken the first year‘s course in the Girls‘ Garment Making Club, will ex hibit their work at the home of Mrs John Scott, when a judge from the Department will be sent. Mr and Mrs Lambshead, Burlingâ€" ton, were visitors at Rev. Storm‘s over Easter and assisted in the serâ€" vices at Bethany chapel. Miss A. M. Fettis is spending holiâ€" days with her sister, Mrs Alex Henâ€" derson and Miss C. Fettis, Durham Hospital. About 30 ladies atterded the Instiâ€" tute meeting at Mrs Stomm‘s last Wednesday, when a good program was enjoyed. The Institute are now working on a quilt for some little girls who lost their mother. Easter was fittingly observtd in our local churches Special music and gospel messages told the story of the joy of Eastertide. R. W. Patton, B. A., is preaching his farewell sermon to Hopevilie conâ€" gregation Sunday next. All nature is singing these fine} warm days and from break of Jday till late at night the air is filled with music. First in the morning the birds are all singing in the trees and‘ shortly after six you may hear Ait Lane go by to work on his farm 3 miles away. He goes early and com-:s’ home late and whistles ‘Little brown | jug‘ as he rides along. Norrie R.and Jimmie H. can also be heard at any time of the day as they cheerfully| whistle and work. But in the evenâ€"‘ ing the old Canadian band strikes U;â€" he pond. They seem to be looking forward to the 16th of May and Gov. Control. If you pay strict atention you may hear the little fclâ€" lows holler ‘O‘Keefe, O‘Keefe‘ : tnen comes a stronger voice singing ‘Seaâ€" gram, Seagram." Shortly after the old boys sing out ‘Gooderham, Goodâ€" erham." Then his partner will be he.s . saying ‘Wortzel‘s, Wortzel‘s.‘ We hope all may get their choice and none may take too much and that the debt of this fair province may bereâ€" duced without injury to anyone. But we hae cor doubts. W. J. McLeod is home for the holâ€" iday, also Miss Elda Parslow, from their schools Then there are several v. â€"_idents: Ethel Hill from Durham : Jno. Wilson, Duncan Mcâ€" Millan, Charlie and Jimmy Haw and J. McCormack from Flesherton and Miss Ivy Parslow from Dundalk. Mrs Palmer Philips and babe, also Marjory Kinnell, Toronto, are spendâ€" ing a few days at their home here. Mr and Mrs Wm Reid, Yeovil, spent Easter with Mr and Mrs John Mr and Mrsa Jno. Aldcorn enjoyed the company of their three daughters with their husbands and children on Robt. Stewart, Hopevile, spent the forenoon Sunday with Mr and Mrs. G : here. Bob is sporting a Star car and is well pleased with his deal. joying a new sedan. There are seyâ€" eral others contemplating a change of cars but are also counting the cost as last year‘s crop did not furâ€" nis? much surplus. But this is a land of hope and without hope we cannot live. t BEATONâ€"IN Glenelg, on Tuesday, April 19, to Mro and Mrs Henry Hugh McMillan and family are énâ€" sCOTCHTOWN sWINTON PARK HOPEVILLE Miss MacPbail "In our relations with China we have acted scandalously." . . . In regard to the Boxer re bellion, it is said I should have guarded myself by saying that it was really a civil war rather than a reâ€" | bellion. How could it be a civil war with foreign powers backing one : faction and exacting very heavy inâ€" | demnities from the section whose ‘army was defeated ?

There is no doubt that the Chinese . were ignorant and that they did not understand the real causes of the war, but I may say to this House that the people of any country never understand the real causes of a war while that war is proceeding. There was a huge indemnity exacted from China after the Boxer rebellion, aâ€" mounting to 67,000,000 pounds.

I have an article here which through the folly of its own rulers, WaS published in the Weekly News and the vanity and levity of ours.‘ Published in Winnipeg, Man., March On August 30 he wrote : 25.1‘927 in which this statement is "This abominable East: abomin able not so much in itself as beâ€" cause it is strewn all over with the record of our violence and fraud. And under the date of Nov. 6 he MR. YOUNG (Weyburn) : Will the hon. member permit a question ? In the opinion of the hon. member, world these indignities have been heaped upon China if she had been in a position to defend herself ? | _. . . The hon member for Kingâ€" ston had scorn in his voice when he said that in my letter I stated that living conditions in the factories | were horrible. At this point I wish to quote at some length from the Globe, even at the risk of wearying the House: I do not weary it very often. The Globe is now very m»« interested in my letter and I want | to recall the things it printed in earâ€" ‘lier days. The Globe of March 5, | 1923, contains the following : "A hopeful sign in China is the aeâ€" mand of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai for higher \ standards of human welfare in inâ€" dustry. The chamber urges all firms and factories to employ no chiidren under 12, to permit one day‘s rest in seven and to safeguard the health of the workers by limitâ€" ing working hours, improving saniâ€" tary conditions and installing safety ' devices for machinery." Miss MACPHAIL: ~No, I do not think so. But I think that if Great Britain had been as anxious about her Christianity as she was about the opiumâ€"not all of Gt. Britain but the ruling factionâ€"China would not have to defend herself while trying to get rid of something harmful to bâ€"* own people. Who gave us the right to trot around the world setâ€" tling the difficulties and quarrels or imaginary difficulties of the different countries ? I have often wondered about that. It was not at that time that the 5 per cent customs tax was imposed, but rather that the foreign powers undertook the administration of the Customs after the Boxer rebellion. They collected the customs and used the moneys thus collected as a guar antee of the indemnity, turning the surplus over to whatever governâ€" mental body they chose. By controlâ€" ling the customs they controlled trade ; they would not allow an inâ€" crease in that tariff. Fancy how the hon. member for Frontenacâ€"Addingâ€" ton (Mr Edwards) and the hon. member for Kingston (Mr _ Ross) would feel if U. States controlled our customs tariff and would not allow us to raise it higher than 5 per cent. .« . .. Then I come to the incidâ€" ent of the shooting of the Chinese students : this was just a year ago, and‘l think we can recall it . The Chinese students were protesting by a peaceful parade against conditions to be found in Japanese factories and they were shot down by Indian Poâ€" lice on the orders of British officers. The Indian police certainly would not have shot them down had it not been for the orders of their officers, so I think I am not very far from the truth when I say it was the British police. I was in error however, and I very gladly accept the correction. An inquiry was made into this shootâ€" ing incident, because the Chinese made a charge that they had been shot down, which charge was found to be substantiated in a very long account which is to be found in the London Times of June 16, 1925. Much more recently than that howâ€" ever, the antiâ€"national forces in China as recently published in the new Leader of Feb. 6, 1927, shot down those who were opposed to them. Sir Percival Phillins writing to the pondent ,describes the happenings in the following words : "The executions have been terriiyâ€" ingly informal. Pickets and agitators including ignorant coolics and specâ€" Justifies her Letter sent to summon .the "execution paâ€" trol" which comes up with the headsman swinging the bared blade. The culprit is forced to his knees Further on the New Leader which is the official organ of the Labour party in England says and the words are in italics : "This would not have happened if the British forces had not been masâ€" sed at Shanghai." I think I am only stating a fact when 1 state that Russia wisely withdrew and gave up her concesâ€" sions. I said she did it wisely. I do pnot think she did it from virtuous motives : she made a virtue of neâ€" cessity. I have an article here which was published in the Weekly News published in Winnipeg, Man., March 25,1927 in which this statement is made : "Russia was shrewd enough to make a virtue of necessity and gave up her privileges to China while the other powers were holding tight to theirs. _ Naturally the Chinese ap preciated this move." Later on the article says : "Germany‘s â€" privileges in China were taken away from her by the treaty of Versailles, As a conseâ€" quence, tho‘ before the war Germany was probably the most unpopular western nation in China, German trade is thriving in that country, while British trade is at a standstill, and even American commerce se. jlously embarassed." tacled students, are quickiy beheadâ€" ed whereever they are found intimâ€" idating shopkeepers or scattering Cantonese â€" leaflets. A runner is I want to quote just one more parâ€" agraph : "The moment Western powers gave up special privileges and base their intercourse with China on commerâ€" clal grounds, there will be an end to drives and boycotts and China will trade most with those who best meet her economic needs. Such at least is the doctrine of European Liberals." I said in the letter that I wish Canada, which is a member of the League of Nations, would protest aâ€" gainst the breaking of the peace of i s world, or taking a chance at breaking the peace of the world, by the action of the powers in China. Canada would be well within ner rights in protesting against anything that tends to endanger the peace of the world. There was an interesting report in the McGill Daily, a studâ€" ent‘s paper issued at McGill Univerâ€" & y. of a speech recently made by Captain Braceâ€"who, I believe is connected with the Y. M.C.A. and is a returned manâ€"on conditions in China at the present time : "The cause of the trouble in China today is the white man, who exâ€" ploits the oriental and breaks all laws of civilization in doing so." We, as Britishers, must take our just share as a consequence of so serious a charge. I want to close this defence, if it can be called a deâ€" fence, of my letter to the public school children of South East Grey by quoting from Bertrand Russell. He says this in relation to forces go ing out to China : "If we are fighting for a great cause the prospect of loss might be faced with heroism. But the exgct opposite is the case: we are fighting against everything progressive, upright and intelligent in China, in favor of everyâ€" thing ignorant, reactionary and corâ€" rupt. We are fighting to keep civiliâ€" zation under in a great nation, in order that it might be easier to exâ€" ploit. We are fighting for the right t shoet down unarmed students when they protest against the killing of Chinese workrs by Japanese capâ€" talists in labor disputes. We are fightâ€" ing to prolong anarchy and civil war among selfâ€"seeking miltarists dependâ€" ent upon foreign support. We are fighting to preserve everything that is bad and to prevent the growth of everything that is good. This, alas, is our position throughout Asia. This is the sacred cause we pursue with a pigâ€"headed obstinacy that must, beâ€" fore long, bring ruin and national disaster upon us. Both as a patriot and as an internationalist, I view the situation with feelings little short of despair." I want to say regardless of what the hon. member for Kingston (Mr. Ross) and the hon. member ftor Frontenacâ€"Addington (Mr Edwards) may think, that I consider mysel{ a patriot. I have no desire in the world to mislead the school children of South East Grey or the school Children of Canada, or the people of Canada, on any question whatever. To the extent that any details of the letter were inaccurate I regret it, but the spirit of the letter was true and I stand by it be the consequenâ€" ces what they may. t J €.
