What are the results, as far as Canada is concerned? They are; in a general way, a share in whatever advantages may accrue from this new basis of Einpire economic co-opegabion; and, specifi- cally, just about 95 per cent. of what Canada asked from Great Britain, togethbr with such benefits as may lie in three separate agreements with other *dominions. ' Froth the agreement with the Unit- ed Kingdotn who cotild have expected more? What was asked that was not obtained? A preference of 20 per cent. on lumber in piece of the 11) per :cent. secured.

These simple things were push- ed into the background during he recent attack of insanity. It was the difference between a straight road of concrete and a roaring automobile, and a gently winding country lane afoot. We confused movement with progress; we deliberately forgot that there are eternal, simple values in the world, for which there are no soh- stitutes. That no matter how far and fast -we may tun we do not escape ourselves, and that these selves cax. not be satisfied by making our livea more complex.

Spain' came into my mind, a country whose life has hard- ly been touched by any of the symbols of progress just mentioned. What wisdom is in the Spanish peasant, comes from the soil. and from life; it is hard and shrewd, ironically humor- ous and fresh. Can this wisdom, which belonged to the American pion- eer, and which survives in remote rural regions of this country today, be replaced by movies or radio? Or is it true that these thins do no more for, hiost people than to make them lees capable of using their native intelli- gence? This ,is ho argument for a return to primitive conditions; we have a civilization with which we must do the best we can, hut we shall be better off if we realize that there is at least a chance that the Average American is not the finest product of the human race, and that listening to Amos 'n' Andy is not really better for the mind and spirit than spending an evening in a cafe with two cents' worth of wine and hours of conver- sation.

"Blessed them" (v. 1() mean:: "bleseci them fervently."
