Churchill the Winston Churchill who interested a capacity audience in the Walker theatre on tuesday night was not the Winston Churchill whose earlier speeches were issued Iti 1909 As a Booken titled liberalism and the social an enthusiastic ally approving introduction by it. W. Massingham. This was an older Ryan who in the intervening years had moved far Over to wards the right. No competent observer of political activities and of the character and temperaments which direct or. Massingham in 1909, have doubted from the first to Merit of if. Churchill s appearance on the stage where his moral and intellectual sympathies Lay and whither they would Lead him. Or. Churchill came to liberalism from the same fold As Gladstone and for the same it presented the one Field of work open to a political Talent of a High stamp and to a wide and eager Outlook on the future of our social the years have invested the words with an irony which was far from the writer s mind. Various reasons might be Given for the change that has come in or. Churchill s Point of View that he has become Wiser Asho Lias grown older and has Learned to distrust the formulas and principles that seemed to him in his thirties to be part the moral order of the universe or that he has lost with the pass ing decades the generous impulses of youth and Lias come to think there Are Virtues in the existing social order and in the regimen of authority to which he was once Blind. It does not much matter lion the change came about since it was made in sincerity. The speech in the Walker theatre was a consummate expression of a set of opinions deeply and strongly held. That or. Churchill spoke what was in his mind with directness Force and even passion was a compliment to the great audience which listened to him. Quite possibly there will be criticism of this frankly partisan discussion of questions which Are controversial and j Pond its Borders and a number of these Felt privileged to join in the expression of affectionate regard in which he is held. Joint Vancouver terminals three railways the Canadian National the Canadian Pacific and the great Northern enter Van Couver and the question of joint terminals has come of for discus Sion. The Ira Portan thing is that freight shipments destined to be shipped from the yet of Vancouver should be handled cheaply and rapidly. At prs sunt the. Different lines maintain separate terminal facilities and the Canadian Pacific has the preferred position this is Only natural since the Canadian Pacific was. First on the j aground and it u entitled to an. Advantage i or that reason. But the growth of the country has been such that other railways More particularly the Canadian National have a Large tributary territory. Yet in handling overseas ship ments from Vancouver the . Is handicapped by its inferior Posi Tion at the port. Shippers Over . Are being penalized through no fault of their own. As a result they suffer and the Trade of the country suffers also. The solution clearly lies in the Mack Urchill. Speaks in Winnipeg it is a very Large congenial warm and brilliantly coloured Audi ence to meet and listen to a Pic i see Nickel went up two Points the now York we rid. Calgary by g. V. F.

Due compensation should j Calgary Bill Buxton is Bill Buxton and most people Call the mayor Fred. There is a buoyant Good humor about the Placo that is hard to beat. Calgary has hustled and bustled and kept its temper Tor a Good time coming this is going to be a great year the railways. Executives of year there was similar criticism of or. Ramsay Macdonald for i outspoken utterances while he was on his Canadian tour Canaj Dian audiences do not particularly want to hear amiable Plati j tubes about non controversial topics when British Public men first rank come to visit us rather they want the vital issues which companies Are always com influence British Public life brought Home to them. Or. Churchill on tuesday night for tie first two thirds of Liis address was the militant British politician discussing questions of general interest to the British Peoples with the Freedom and directness which he would employ if his audience were made up of electors of great or. Churchill was seen in action and the audience appreciated enjoyed and applauded the performance. Most of the Points dealt with were highly disputations and the View presented was that of or. Churchill himself rather than that of his party. Upon Allt he subjects naval parity if lathe United states the proposed treaty with Egypt and the Singapore is wide diversity of View More than fifty years now it is a fast growing City the biggest be i planning that Grain is carried at a i loss. So great is this loss that i when the West produced its largest Harvest last year railway earnings broke All previous records. It is hard to understand this Paradox but the big railway men All say so. But this year they Are going to be Happy. The crop is going to be much smaller than usual so the railways should be just that much better off. A great Britain not Only Between the parties but As or i Cooks arc a Churchill intimated was the ease in the matter of Egypt also the conservative party. An article the Art of by Charles d. Steward in the at lactic describes a number of deaths beginning with a Black Boxer named Tiger Flowers who was called the Black fighter with a while Tiger is introduced ago by Viscount Grey. Sir Edward. Grey As he then was said to us in a Gay Robe Tawny j Tiger stripes As he a the operating room in conditions and should continue on that basis that it should not a new York Hospital. He was or. Churchill s considered judgment As to the proper naval policy to be followed by great Britain in relation to the United states corresponds closely with the View put Forward nine years that the British naval policies were All based upon european j in the least matter what the United states did in the matter of building a Navy. The doctrine was very unacceptable to great Britain at that time because in the Light of the naval programme outlined by the United states it meant that the United states would have in the course of a few years the largest Navy in the world. If on this Point great Britain is now philosophical there is much to be said in favor of or. Churchill s proposal but if As we think highly probable the naval authorities of great Britain would never in fact agree to the United states Navy out stripping that or great Britain the Pursuit of a formula of parity is to be encouraged As the Only alternative to what would be in fact competitive naval building. The concluding portions of or. Churchill s address in which lie dealt with Empire constitutional relationships in the Light of the Balfour declarations were masterly and convincing. Or. Churchill was of course a party to this report and he summarized its spirit and scope in a passage of telling Power and compactness. All the British nations have the same relationship to one another and they have the relationship to the Crown. It is the definition which has appeared Many times Al most in these words in these columns. In it is packed the whole purpose and spirit of the Balfour declaration. There is no Overr lordship by one British nation tie parliament of one nation has no jurisdiction Over the parliament of another British nation in Canada there is his majesty s government and in great Britain Liere is also his majesty s government but each govern ment is distinct and supreme within its jurisdiction. The apply. Cation of this simple and easily understandable principle solves All the problems and difficulties which Are posed by people Are movement a handsome creature faultless in form. Just before the Ether began to affect him they heard him Pray now i Lay me Down to sleep i Pray the lord my soul to he never spoke again. And w6 Are told that lie died in charade. Cor he never left a dressing room to engage in a fight without Kneel ing a moment in prayer. He was a pillar in his Church and famous in the ring. The second description is of i Stonewall Jackson in but. It is still As Boyish As Ever. Perhaps it s the cowboys who do it i for the cowboys Are still in Evi Deuce All the year round even if most of them reach town these Days in cars and have Oil leases Ini their pockets. J i Oil it was bound to come out sooner or later in any column about Calgary and if you reach the City when the wind is blowing from the big refinery in East Calgary you will smell a remarkable smell. Cal Arians Don t talk about that odor particularly but they Are j probably As proud of it As they ave of everything else in the City which Calls to mind a Story about the water in Calgary. In certain seasons of the year it is found Wise to put a touch of Chloride into the reservoirs. Just a touch to be sure but a Little of it goes a Long Long Way and a visitor remarked to an old timer on the Peculiar flavor. The old timer fired up at once it s not the water. It s what they put in anyway they keep the Oil out of the water is something but they keep it out of nothing else. Who owns that big House on the asks the visitor. The answer is always the big Oil Man built who did this who proposed Back corns the old refrain Oil Oil Oil. Then the truth finally dawns on the. Guest. Everybody in Calgary War " and i is a big Oil Man or Hopes to be. Courage and Enterprise and Cal Gary lacks neither Quality. She has gambled and in the main she has won. The Oil Industry is producing at the rate of a million dollars a year and the cheap Gas fuel has brought Many new industries to the City. Nor has the end been heard of her Oil. High in. The Southern sky night and after night hangs the lurid glow from the Gas flames of the Turner Valley. It is clearly visible More than 50 Miles away. Just As the children of Israel were led to the promised land by a pillar fire so the people of Calgary turn towards that Rich dome of Light As a portent and a Promise. It leads them on. So Long As it lasts their Faith will last with it. A Etious cabled to him by sir aus ten Chamberlain and or. Churchill. Or. Churchill in his Ottawa speech suggested that each coun try should build As big a Navy As it needed without regard to naval construction by the other and with out any Effort to restrict armaments by Mutual agreement. The trouble witly this is that the big Navy group in both countries would insist that monster navies were needed. So Jar As the United states is concerned it is certain that the Brit ish Navy will be the yardstick by which to measure United states naval construction. Unless some agreement is reached there is bound to be More or less of v Competition in naval construction. The people of the United states do a11 conspicuous politicians Black want this and will cordially1 coat winged Collar Grey striped Welcome the Pacific overtures of Premier Macdonald. At the same time it is quite possible that or. Hoover May fare As did or.

He lifted his eyes to the shelf where stood his favorite books and said my simple but emphatic declaration should have a highly enlighten ing effect upon those canadians who. Think that the Balfour re port is a treasonable document wrested from a reluctant British government by truculent scheming Dominion premiers. This idea lingers in Canada and can even be found in High places if or. Churchill can do anything to. Dispel it Canada will be Greaty in his debt. Or. Churchill spoke in the Yeli know ii letter to or. Eloquently and wisely of the Mutual and enduring co operation that will go along with the acceptance of the new Conception of Empire relationships Here again his words cannot but have a beneficial effect in quieting apprehensions arising from ignorance and misunderstanding.

Washington Premier Macdonald be More adroit than president Hoover his Mission to Washington May fail of its chief purpose the reduction of naval armaments. Or. Hoover s precipitate announcement that he would ignore the direction of Congress so far As Cruiser construction goes during the present fiscal year has occasioned some resentment which May soon be voiced on the floor of the Senate. This unfortunate As anything like a Domestic Contro Versy Over the naval programme would Embarrass the British prime minister. The division of sentiment on the naval question in this coun try is on sectional not parly lines. The people living on the Seaboard naturally favor a Strong Navy while the people living in. The Interior Are less interested. A merchant in new York May fear a naval attack upon his City will injure or destroy his property but the Farmer in Kansas or Iowa is quite certain that no battleship can Ever get. Across the Alleghany or the Rocky mountains. There seems to impression in Canada and the Mother country alike that the or of the big Navy i n the United states Are More or less animated by anti British sentiment r do not think Hal is True certainly the opponents of a big Navy come from states where there is Strong anti British prejudice. The pro German of. The Middle West is firmly convinced that the United states Navy will never come into conflict with the Navy of great Britai. He is More or less haunted by the possibility of an Anglo american Alliance. He believes that great Brilain has Noth ing to fear irom an american Navy however Large. Hence the Small Navy group in the United states is really an anti British group. Quite naturally the size of the. United. States Navy must More or less depend the size of the a pretty somebody else is doing something that will mean big Money to some body. The Beauty of it is thai the somebody 1 May be you.

In the Canadian forum Why must our professional imperialist patriots always be Rushing Forward with their nostrums for saving the Empire no group of nations in the world today Are United by such ties of natural Friendship and affection As the group which make up the British Commonwealth. Leave them alone. Why cannot our imperialists show a if tie of the Faith in the Empire which they Are professing nations like individuals can Only remain friends so Long As each takes the other As he is and each minds his own business. The Brit ish nations Are getting on quite or. Churchill s Ottawa speech will j Nap Ivy together on these terms at Klou Ledly come under review our imperialist Busy unclog Ledly should any naval debate arise 111 the Senate. Or. Churchill Points Oul the Diefin bullies which attend any attempt to make a hard and fast agreement respecting naval Arma ment and even goes so far As to say that the Washington agreement in 1921 strained rather than improved. Anglo american relations. A matter of fact that conference did a. Great Deal of Good bringing about among other things the Abro gation of the Anglo japanese treaty. British prestige was probably never so High in the United states As u was at the conclusion of that con Ference. Subsequently the Ameri cans complained that the British government was violating the spirit of the agreement by the rapid construction of cruisers. The Geneva naval conference in 1927 was. Called by cloudge for. The express purpose of coming to some agreement in relation to cruisers. The conference ended in an ill fated fiasco and its failure undoubtedly caused irritation in the United states which led to the passage of the Cruiser Bill. That i ritalin might have been dissipated if Premier Baldwin had spoken some reassuring words when he delivered his speech at the open ing of the peace Bridge. In the sum of 1927 that he. Not improve this Opportunity due it present. But our imperialist bodies will not leave them alone unfortunately. One reason is that most of obese gentlemen have not yet been demobilized. They Are still living in the War atmosphere and they see the Empire As still fighting for its life against open and secret enemies. The Oiler reason is that most of these loud patriots excepting of course such incurable romantics As those the round table whose Imperial Fervour just now shows every sign of de generating into a religious cult Model and mayor Dan Mclean with heavy Gold Albert and the lieutenant governor of Manitoba. The stage behind these celebrities has a dense crop of Well dressed audience richly Kals mined by the Rose tinted flood lights in the Ilies. And out in front the House is full right up to the gallery s torrid roof with Union jacks draped in red and Cobalt splashes on the bal Cony rails. When or. Churchill comes in everybody rises and cheers abound. He Steps Forward and the gnome in him comes right out and looks puckish by into the crowded dusk of the theatre. Clutching both Coal lapels High up near his Collar he begins to speak in a thin refined voice touched faintly with a Dainty Little Lisp and not wedded too Udo piously to the final English aspirate. The Empire has come through the Fiah intact United stronger than Etc. He goes on to assure us that great Britain was never so full of Progress As she is that while unemployment is a grave social prob Lem it is not a National crisis. He says this firmly his voice takes and puts on Challenge the gnome is suddenly a figure of men Ace the humorous Tabby we perceive with a thrill is a stalking feline. This pleasant sex gentleman is one of the Imperial personalities and a world figure of the most formidable character. This was the Man who unleashed the British sea Power the world ing the Joy the peace the glory of very loud Aud continued applause. Churchill has the British states Man s Peculiar appearance in its most marked degree. The appear Ance of pleasing oddity of Bimla , of innocence of k is a curious mask. The germans at least scowled ant strutted and clanked but the British imperialists look like the Che Ryhle and the More gnome like they keen the More desperate they Are. Be Hind Winston Churchill Are fighting stocks which come Down through the Stormy years adventurers pirates seamen Koj doors of Fortuni.
