Canada parted sadly with its King

Their months' stay on the North
American mainland ended as the
white liner Empress of Britain eased
out into Halifax harbour and headed
down into the open Atlantic with its
Royal freight.
Wave upon wave of sound rolled
out from the shore in wake of the
great ship, caught up with it and
rode across the harbour's placid wat-
ers, It came from a block of human-
ity massed around the dock more
than double the normal population of
this old seaport of 70,000. The King
and Queen, in their automobile, had
driven through the throng an hour
before to the deafening acclaim of
such a concourse as Halifax never
before had witnessed. About their
last 'act on the soil of this Dominion
was to exchange farewell with great
war veterans who crowded into the
pier's big shed.

eagerness to get near Their Majes-
ties and the Royal Visitors loved it,
They stopped to mingle with the
veterans before' walking away to the
gangplank as a Royal Salute ,barked
out from the guns of tall Citadel
Hill. The crash of the cannon sig-
nalled`"not only the end of a vivid
chapter' in Canadian .history but for
Halifax the end of perhaps the great-
est day in its long history. For more
than seven hours Halifax had the
King and Queen to itself and Halifax
savored its cup of enjoyment to the
last drop,
Canada generally and the rest of
the Empire were let in on the events
at first hand for a few minutes only.
That was when the King and Queen
broadcast their farewell to the
Dominion through t h e Canadian
Broadcasting System and over an
Empire hookup. "Our minds and our
hearts are full' King George' said
in the speech he delivered at the end
of the Provincial Government lunch-
eon. "We leave your shares after
same of the most inspiring and il-
luminating weeks in our lives." He
returned to England, he said, with
new sense of the resources and of
the responsibilities of our British
Aspire. • He spoke of his confidence
in Canada's developments, , and he
spoke of peace, it was a "comfort
and an inspiration to know America
held a large part of the earth" where
theme is no possibility of war between
neighbors where peoples are wholly
dedicated to the pursuits of peace,
a pattern to all men of how civilized
nations should live together."
The Queen addressed herself
directly to the women and children
of Canada. She told them "how glad"
sh was to have met so many of them.
Seeing Canada had been a real de-
light and the people's demonstrations
of their gladness at seeing Their
Majesties had warmed my heart in a
way I cannot express in wards",'
Both diverged briefly into French
during their addrdsses and the Queen
wound up her's with a "God bless
you". In that tongue for Their
Majesties the departure meant the
end of aTh ut 9,000 miles of transcon-
tinental travel, starting in old Que-
bee where French -Canada took them
to its hearts as they landed May
7. They travelled the Dominion to
Vancouver and then back as far as
Ontario where they cut into the
United States for a history making
call on President Roosevelt, Not
only in the United States was hist-
ory made, for this first visit of a
Reigning British Monarch to his
Transatlantic realm set a precedent
at every foot of the way. Just one
instance was the occasion in Ottawa
when the King and Queen plunged
alone into a throng of war veterans
to become the first British Sovereign
ever to walk into the midst of a large
public gathering entirely unescorted.
And tonight after the excitement
had died—after the King and Queen
had gone—another picture. In the
huge dining room of the Nova Scot-
lan, white -covered tables that ex-
tended along two walls in an un-
broken stretch, were heavily laden
with chicken and hams and lobster
and salads and this, that and the
other thing. A buffet supper tend-
ered by the federal government to
members of the press. Prime Minister
Mackenzie King sat among us. And
before it ended and we dashed back
to the preiss room to finish our
stories, he spoke. He spoke of what
the royal visit had meant. He said
the goodwill it had created might be
a tremendous factor in the history of
the world. He said what the world
needed was more things which would
create goodwill and fewer things to
create -11 '11, and that only thus
would the lot of man be improved. ,
He thankedcorrespondents from
three countries, Canada, the United
States and England, and especially
he thanked big, genial Walter
Thompson, press director of the tour.
Mr. Thompson, the Prime Minister
said, had served well his government
and his country, and it was five min-
utes before the applause died,
And Ed, Angley, famous New York
Herald-Tribene correspondent, who
can do an amazing imitation of W,
C. Fields, also spoke, but he wasn't
imitating W. C, Fields tonight. There
was emotion and sincerity in his
voice as he thanked Mr. Thompson
for all the favors, 'big and little,
he had done for those who travelled
on the royal pilot train. And for

Rt. Hon: Ri B:. Bennett, former
prime minister of Canada, was 69
years old on. Monday. Far from the
scenes of his political triumphs, Mr...
Bennett spends most of his time
supervising ' redecoration of the dwel-
ling on his Juniper Hill estate in
England:
those assembled he presented to the
press director and the . members of "•
his staff tokens of appreciation, And
Mr. Thompson spoke in reply and •
said in all his years of association
with the press he had never been
prouder of its members than the tour
had made him. Not once from the
time the King and Queen landed at
Quebec had anybody even hinted that
certain things should not be publish-
ed or that stories should be written
in a particular way. Correspondents
had followed their own taste and
judgment, and it had not been found
wanting. The Throne and the mem-
bers of the Fourth Estate had been
brought far closer together as a re—
sult of the royal visit than ever they
were before.
Halifax, June 15.—Their Majesties
paid tribute to the fourth estate be-
fore their departure for home tonight
at an interesting ceremony on the
liner Empress of Britain. News—
