Let vs this year celebrate Empire Day as never before. For the British Empire, aided by her valiant !Allies and !buttressed by the ,praotical sym- pathy of .the United States of Amer- • ica. is standing out es ,the strong- hold of humanity against cruelty, ,jnjuslbice, tyranny .and falsehood—an impregnable fortress based not upon hatred and selfish ambition, but upon humanity and righteousness. It is 11gainst the 'Powers of Dark- ness ltb;alt we are fighting, and the late of the Empire, and with it that of civilization, are at stake. We must al lcourogeously paly our part, however humble, in achieving tory, "lest freedom should perish From the earth:, Those who planned the downfall of 'the British Empire reeked not of the unquenchable !spirit of the Brit- ish ritish race, the Staunch loyalty of peovles of different races and colors owing allegiance to the British prawn and ilhe unshakable soli- darity of the British, Empire. It is above all this unity of the British peoples in 'the hour of crisis which has brought confident hope to all lovers of freedom and growing dis- may to our enemies. Let us remem- ber with pride the grealt exploitsof our seamen, soldiers and airmen drawn from ebery •pant of the Brit- ish IComonwealth, as well as the ateadfardtnes and courage of the civilian population in Great Britain, the heart of the Empire. False to the gibes of her enemies and faith. tut to her own glorious traditions, she has demonstrated that the metal of her sons and daughters is as true as in days of yore. But the war 1s not yet over, and unflagging .effort, selfsaerifice and endurance are still demanded of ne in repelling the assault upon all that makes the life of a tree People worth living. The British Empire is fighting riot for aggrandisement or for ma• terial gain, but for it own soul and Chet of mankind. Its struggle will have been in vain unless we are de- termined that when:victory comes we will to the best of our power strive !to remedy those inherent de - Pets and social injustices which Provoke strife. both: among nations and between: their fellow-oitizeua. Tlms the peonies of the world, led by those of lite lSmpire will enjoy hereafter the tranquility and confi- dent security wfhose only sure found- ation is fair dealing between nation and ;nation and between man and men. I :appeal especially to the young people of the Empire who, when the !present upheaval is past, wlil be called upon to •fashion a new world. Yours will he the teak of winning the peace. Do your bit, be it great or smell, to. errors that the Empire shall ever be the symbol and ex- aimple of soli that makes for human happiness; pease and progress, Steel Your ,hearts and minolis to the brave resolve that never again shall Path- less ambition and the cruel lust of Blower destroy the freedom of man• Med. and peace of the hoarse arid the hsmlpilness end sefelty of ids children. We :have no need to be ashamed of the s.taty .af the Jill ngiire, 'hat ifs greatesit chapter has yet to be writ- best, .arid it is for the youth of the Empire. with their boundless oppor- tunitdes, buoyant hope and unshaken faith In God to write tt, for bha benefit of the whole human race. The British Empire never bad a graver responsibility thrust upon it than it bas today. But never have there been grander opportunities for displaying those outstanding qualities which built it up and which alone can Maintain it. Let us remember that tit is neither wealth nor might, but character, which has ever been the deciding factor in our hour of destiny, and snake it crystal clear that It illumines and strengthens all our lives.
