The

has
shown
that
obur

British
na-
tions
can
combine
without

of
freedom
as
a
single
unit
In
vigorous
defence
of
their
common
inteiests
and
ideals.
The
unity? of
the Empire
in the
war,
was
the
feature
least
exyected
by
our enenmies
and
most etfective
in
saving
the liberties
of the world.
But
now that
the
war
is
over,
fthey
have
s‘ill got
to
keep
up
that standard
of patrio
ism and
unity ot which
we showed
ourse

pable during that
Jong
struggle.
Unity
and
cooperation

just
as
n3cessary
now
in peace
times
as during the

must
not
lose

Gentlemen,
I am not conceited
ensugh
to
accept
these
welcomes
personalto myself
and realize that
they have
been
given
to
me
as the King’s representative
coming

t
Canada
as
the heir to the Throne.
My

first
visit
to
the
Great

has

made
me
vrealize
more
fully then
ever

what
a great privilege and what
a great

responsibility,
that conters
upon
Ime
and
|
I valne their welcomes
ail the
morz high-

because
they

I ask mysefwhat

does
that

It
means
that

the
big-

gast
audiences
whicn
he
has yet address-

ed in Canada,
the
Privce of Wales
today
|
spoke
of
(anada
and

impressions

of
the
Canadian
people
of rhe
Empire
|
and
lastly
of

betfore
a
huge

gathering
of
business
and
public
men
in
the
Massey
Hall
here
today.
The
great
builling
was
packed
without
memoers
of
the
Canadian
and
Empire
Clubs,
which
combined
today
to
invite
the Prince
to
meet and. address
them
on
the oceasion
of his
intormal
second
vis-
it to
Toron:o.
‘‘'l'ne Dominions
are
no
|
longer
Colonies”’,
the
Prince
said
in
part,
‘‘they
are
sister-
nations
of
the
British
nation.
They
played
a
part
in
the
war, fuilyproportionate
to their size,
and their size
a
d their internaticnal
im-
portance
wi'l steadily
increase.
Yet they
all desire
to
remain
within the
Empire
|
whose
unity
is shown
by common
alle-
|
giance
to th= King.
The
reason
why, if
may
be personal
for a
moment,
I
do not
regard
myself
as
belonging primarily to
Great Britaia and only in
a lesser
way to
|
Canada
and the other
dominions,
on the
|
contrary,1 regard
myself
belonging
to
|
Great
Britaii
and to
Canada
in exactly
‘
the same
wuy’’.
This
also
means
that
|
when
I go
down to
the
Urited
States
|
next
week,
I shall regard myself as go-
|
ing there,
not only as an Englishman
and
l
as
a
Bntister,
but
also
as
a Canadian
|
and
a representative
of
the
whole
em-
No. 25?.
ment which
is
shared
not only by all
na-
tions
within
the
Empire
but alsc
by all
political parties
wiuhin
each
nation.
We
all know this because
it was this
common
sentiment
which
made
Britishers
stand
togethar
in
the
great
war
and
realize
that
this
sentiment
has
been
expressed
in
the
wonderful
welcomes
given
me
in
Canada
as
heir
to
the
throne.
1
am
afraid
Gentlemen,
that
I have departed
from
my
reserve
and
talked about
my-
selt
a good
deal,
but
I wanted
to tell you
as
the
largest
anrdience
1 have
been
pri-
vileged
to address
in Canada,
what
1 feel
about
my
position
and
the
responsi-
bility
which
entails.
1
can
only
as-
sure
vou
that
1 shall
always endeavour
to
live
up
to
that
great
responsibility
and
to
be
worthy of your
trust.’””
The
Prince
spoke
of
himself
as
a ‘‘Brother
Farmer’
in view of his
ranch
purchased
in the
west
and
the
agriculturists
of On-
tario and
commented
on
the agricultural
as
weii
as
the
industrial
importance
of
this
province.
He promised
to
take
a
deep
i terest
in all. that
affects
the
ebn-
dition of the Canadian
Farmer
but
jocu-
farly inrimated
that
he would
be
a vetry
simple
farmer ¢nd not
enter
polities
nor
do anyihing
in way
to upset
the ideas
of
she agriculturists
of the
Dominions.
