"While in organization, leadership and equipment the Chinese army toâ€" day cannot compare favorably with the armies of the United States and European powers, it is vastly superior to the old Chinese army of a generaâ€" tion ago, when the battles were nothâ€" ing but horrid farces in which the Chinese troops, armed with only the most primitive weapons, proved to be the unhappy butts of the strange, terrifying and effective guns and rifles of the invaders," writes Chihâ€" Chen Wang, former editor of The Peâ€" king Express, in June Current Hisâ€" tory.

It may be well at this juncture to inquire if Canadians, not as Canadians, but as Empire builders and Empire mainâ€" tainers, could be ready even in the remote future for the responsibilities of such a change? it is so easy to juggle with words. Even imperial words, even world words slip from the lips of orators without effort. But what about the facts back of the words? What about the hundreds of years it has taken to build the British Empire? What about the lives laid down in its service, not only in its centre, but at its outposts? What about sacrifice? What about preparâ€" edness? What about the world burâ€" den attached to the idea and to the name British Empire? . . .
