STIRRING MESSAGE TO PEOPLE OF CANADA
Heir -Apparent Appreciates Canada's Welcome to Hunt as
King's Representative --What the Throne Stands
For -Plea For Imperial Unity.
The Prince of Wales addressed
3,000 men assembled in Massey Iie11,
.Toronto, on the occasion of his fare-
well visit to Qntario'e capital. It was
a memorable and historic, acdasion,
for it was probably the first time in
the annals of the Empire that an Heir
• to the Throne discussed at a public
meeting the duty and functions of the
Crown and the relationship of the
Sovereign to the people. The tact
and wisdom with which the Prince
handled his subject, his breadth of
Vision and his rare personal charm,
once again deepened the bond between
himself and the peopple of the Dom -
•inion.
His Royal Highness spoke, as fol-
Iows:
"Since I was last in Toronto I have
been right across the continent to
:, Vancouver Island and back again,
which enables me to look better on
Canada as a whole, and I think I can
?best express myself in military terms.
The Western Provinces are like the
se outposts of the nation held by most
gallant and enteeprising outpost
al troops, who are datinually pushing
forward into the no man's land of
;.= fhb great Northwest. Ontario in the
East is still the main body of the na-
tion and the main line of resistance,
and I congratulate you on the way
in which year fine position is organ-
ized.•
"I was much impressed by all 1
saw in the West and was attracted
by the young and free spirit which
e. I found there, and.,reaiized what a
great future and development lies be-
fore it. Now for the last three weeks
I have been back in the East, travel-
.. ing in southern and western Ontario,
and I have seen the country roard the
shores of your great lake, which was
„ the scene of the righting a century
ago which saved British North Am-
erica for the Empire, and was thrilled
to think of the splendid. fight which
your ancestors of those days put up,
and if it was anything like the way
Ontario men fought in the great war
it must have been pretty good. (Loud
applause.) 1 have also been much
impressed by the orderly and settled
look of the whole country, which bears
a strong resemblance to English coun-
trysides, and is such a great contrast
to the West. Knowing that Ontario
was practically entirely vrgin land
only a century ago, 1 sun full of ad-
miration of what three or four enter-
prising and vigorous generations can
achiev
"But these last three weeks have
enabled me to realize that the notion
that the East is purely the industrial
part of Canada as opposed to the
West, which is the agricultural part,
is wrong, and I know now that the
agricultural produce of Ontario is the
largest in the whole Domnion, and
that your agricultural activity is as
important as your industrial activity.
This impressed me, because it makes
nue feel that Ontario comprises all the
problems of the Dominion, and must,
by the way in which it deals with its
own problems, exercise in some res-
pects a decisive influence upon the
whole destinies of Canada.
"And I am partcularly interested in
the agricultural side of Ontario, be-
cause I have become a farmer in a
small way myself, and have bought. a
ranch in Southern Alberta, where I
hope to start in very soon and ulti-
mately make good. As you know,
farmers in the West think themselves
a very important section of the com-
•
nuunity, and I see that the farmers
have recently been asserting them-
selves in Ontario, too, but let me --as-
sure you that I intend to be a very
simple sort of farmer, who will not
go in for politics of try to upset your
ideas in any way. (Applause.) But,
as a brother -farmer, I should like to
pay a tribute to the farmers of On-
tario, who have always been a very
wholesome, respectable and energetic
section of the community. I know they
will always remember to think of the
wider interests., of the nation as well
as of their own. It takes all kinds of
interests to make a great nation, and
Canada cannot afford to be one-sided,
I hope, therefore, that$Ontario will
set the lead by showing that all class-
es may pursue their -own legitimate
interests without forgetting the welt
fare of the Dominion and of the Em-
pire as a whole.
"The welfare of the whole Emjiire
is, after all, the big question for all
of us, and it has taken a new shape
since the war. Because of their
whole -hearted participation in the
great struggle, the Dominions have
entered the partnership of nations by
becoming signatories of the Peace
Treaties and members of the assembly
in the League of Nations. The old
idea of an Empire handed down from
the traditions of Greece and Rome was
that of a mother country surrounded
by daughter States, which owed al-
legiance to that mother country. But
the British Empire has long left that
obsolete idea behind, and appears be-
fore us in a very different and :far
grander form. It appears before us
as a single State, composed of many
nations of •different origins and ; dif-
erent languages, which give their • al-
legiance not to a mother country, but
to a great common system of life and
government.
"The British Dominions are, there-
fore, no longer colonies; they are sis-
ter nations of the great British na-
tion. They pla;-ed a part in the war
fully proportionate to their size, and
their international importance will
steadily increase. Yet they all desire
to remain within the Empire, whose
unity is shown by common allegiance
to the King. That is the reason why,
if I may be personal for a moment, I
do not regard myself as belonging
primarily to Great Britain, and only
in a lesser way to Canada and the
other Dominions. On the contrary, I
regard myself as belonging to Great
Britain and to Canada in exactly the
same way. This also means that when
I go down to the United States next
week I shall regard myself as going
there not only as an Englishman and
as a Britisher, but also as a Canadian,
(Loud appIause.)
"But, of course, this change of
system within the Empire puts a new
and very difficult kind of responsibil-
ity upon all of us 'Britishers. The war
has shown that our free • British na-
tions can combine without loss of free-
dom as a single unit in vigorous de-
fence of their common interests and
ideals. The unity of the Empire in
the war was the feature least expected
by our enemies, and most effective in
bringing victory and saving the liber-
ties of the world. But now that the
war is over they have still got to keep
tep that standard of patriotism and
unity of Which we showed ourselves
capable during that long struggle.
Unity and co-operation are just as
necessary now in peace times as dur-
ing the war. We must not lose touch
COMMONS WEAM ENDIVE TS
TO CANADA TEE PERANCE ACT
Dominion to Hold Referenda
That Importation of Li
Be Pro
Ottawa, Oct. 9. -The outstanding
results of Saturday's sitting of the
House of Commons were the passage
of the 'Governme}}?�t'e two bills dealing
with the subject"of prohibition and
the acceptance of the Senates amend-
ments to the bill .authorizing the Gov-
ernment to acquire control of the
Grand Trunk Railway system. The
more important of the two prohibition
measures, that to amend the Canada
Temperance Act, was not readied
until_ the evening, and was the last
item of business discussed. It excited
a rather lively debate, and was
amended in some reepects before it
was read a third time. The bill in, its
original form provided machinery
whereby a province might prevent the
nranufaeture of liquor within its terri-
tory and importation from other
prs lei rtes, Tlie legislation provided
iris; a Provincial Legistlatnre, by re-
solution,might petit do the Dominion

m If Any Province Requests

hibited.
the questions, whether or not manu-
facture of liquor within the province
should be prohibited, and whether or
not importation of liquor into the
province should be forbidden. Within
three months from the receipt of ,,the
petition by the Secretary of State,
the Dominion Government was to sub-
mit the question or questions to the
people and the view of the majority
of the voters, at the plebiscite, was
to rule,
On Saturday the provision for a
plebiscite on the question of maim -
facture was deleted as unnecessary.
It was understood clearly that manu-
facture for export was not to be pro-
hibited, and that the other temper-
ance bill which was passed during the
•sitting, that to amend the Doherty
Aet, forbids manufacture of liquor
when it is known that it will be used
in violation of the law of the province
,in which it is manufactured.
with each other or we shall lose all
that we have won during the last five
years by our common action and ef-
fort against the enemy. •
"I have only one more thing to say,
gentlemen, and I ask you to again
forgive me talking of myself. I need
not tell you' how deeply I have been
touched by the wonderful welcomes
which have been 'given nue in every.
city, town 'and hamlet which I. have
visited in the great Dominion: These
welcomes have been quite overwhelm-
ing, and I. can never .be sufficiently
grateful to Canadians for the warmth
with which. they have received me,
nor can I ever forget it. •
"But, gentlemen, I am not conceited
enough to accept this welcome as iii
any way personal to myself, and real-
ize that they have been given me as
the Ring's representative coming to
Canada as the heir to the Throne. My
first visit to the great Dominion has
made me realize more fully than ever
what a great privilege and what a
great responsibility all that confers
upon me, and I value these welcomes
all the more highly because they have
come from the Canadian nation as a
whole, from all sections of the com-
munity, whatever their race, whatever
their party, whatever their education.
I ask myself, what does that mean?
It means that the Throne stands for
an heritage ' of common aims and
ideals, shared equally by all sections,
all parties or all nations within the
Empire. But despite this, there is a
common sentiment which is shared not
only by all nations within the Empire,
but also by all poetical parties within
each nation. We all know this be-
cause it was this common sentiment
which made Britishers stand together
in the great war, and I realize that.
this same sentiment has been express-
ed in the wonderful welcomes given
me in Canada as heir to the Throne.
"I am afraid, geiftlemen, that I have
departed from my reserve and have
talked about myself a good deal. But
I wanted to tell you, as the largest
audience I have been • privileged to
address in Canada, what I feel about
my position and the responsibility
which it entails. • So I must again say
how very grateful I am to you for
your kind invitations and grateful to.
you for giving me this opportunity of
addressing you. I can only assure you
that I will come back as soon as pos-
sible and always endeavor to live up
to my great responsibilities and try
to be worthy of your trust." (Prolong-
ed applause.)

PASSES SENATE
Goes Back to Commons Be-
cause of Amendment.
A despatch front' Ottawa.. says; -
The Grand Trunk bill passed its third
reading in the Senate on Friday night.
It will have to go back to the Com-
mons once again, as the bill has been
amended to prevent the Board of
Arbitrators setting -a value on th.e
preference and common stock of the
Grand Trunk Company above an
amount which would render more
than two and a half million dollars an-
nually in interest to the holders of
this stock.
The Government at first agreed to
have the four per cent. guaranteed,
shares also go to arbitration, but in
the afternoon Sir James Lougheed
explained that after consultation
with members of the Government it
had been decided that this could not
be done, in view of the terms asked
by the Grand Trunk negotiators.
Therefore, the bill still provides for
the payment annually of two and a
half million dollars to the holders of
the four per Dent. guaranteed stock,
and an additional =aunt to the pre-
ference and common stock holders
which must not exceed two and a half
millions, and the exact amount of
which is to be decided by Sir Walter
Cassels,, Judge of the Exchequer
Court of Canada, assisted by two arbi-
trators appointed respectively by the
Government and the Grand Trunk
Railway Company.

PRINCE NEXT
GOVERNOR-GENERAL?
V.
-Rumor of the Possibility of
Royal Highness' Re-
•• turn Shortly. .• •
'Ottawa, Nov. 9. --Because the
Prince 62 Wales has said in Toronto
Mingreai, and Ottawa that when .he,
lea'v'es Canada it is "au revoir," and
not "good-bye," and that he will re-
turn soon,' there has been growing
talk in official circles ':ere of another
astounding'`posa bility in this ago of
precedent -breaking: the .possibility
that the statuiis of. Canada, as a sister
nation with Gr""eat Britain, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, will
be further crowned and recognized by
the'c'bming of the Prince of Wales to
Canada in a year or two as Governor-
General and Vice -Regent.
1t is expected that another et^ar will
• be consumed by visits of the Prince of
Wales to other Dominions, and that
after that ho will begin immediate
service as. preparation for his destiny
as the; Empire's future 'Hing by hold -
sing .successively posts as Governor-
General in the various overseas na-
tions of the British Empire.
The story seems to rise from no-
where, is• spreading rapidly, and may
indeed be a case of "the wish is fath-
er to the thought." It is plain, how-
ever; that the Prince. takes his duties
• and responsibilities seriously, and
that he realizes there is a great and
growi;r; role for. the Royal Haase to
play if it is to make evident its feel-
ing that in Canada and the other
overseas nations it ' has local abiding
places as rauch as in Great Britain
and Ireland.
AID PILGRIMAGE
TO HEROES' GRAVES
Hostel in London Will be of
Service to Canadians.
A despatch -from London saysi-The
hostel far Canadians making the pil-
grimage to the graves of their heroes
who fell in France and Flanders. is
expected to open in January.
iThe Canadian• Red Cross Society
has taken a two -years' lease of a fine
i mansion in Prince's Gardens, a pleas-
ant part of London, close to the parks.
The hostel will be prepared to accom-
modate fifty guests at the moderate
charge of six or seven shillings per
day, which, it is calculated, should be
enough to cover working expenses
lapart from rent.
Not only will the hostel save the
worry of searching for hotel aceom•
modation, but the Red ' Cross staff,
with the knowledge at their eomniand,
will assist the traveler to discover the
probable situation of i,b.e grave and
arrange his passage to the continent,
If poasible a second hostel will be
established at Boulogne, whence the
journey to the cemetery will be made
by a service of cars. Altogether the
scheme is a most helpful one, and as

his steps will be kindly guided at
every turn.
71 Miles Per Hour
In New Hydroplane
A despatch from Halifax, N.S.,
says: -Alexander Graham .Bell and
F. W. Baldwin have been actively en-
gaged for .same time in Cape Breton
on the development of a hydroplane
boat which has given a speed of 71
miles an hour. The boat is called
ILD. -4. Mr. Bell is about making
known to the world the results of his
experiments. The whole boat is car-
ried clear out of the water, the hall
being supported on a series of sub-
merged -knife blades which act as
hydroplanes, thus leaving a clear
space of about three feet between the
bottom of the hull and surface of the
sea when she is going at full speed.
The cxperimenta have been carried
on at "Beinn Breese," Mr, Len's resin
deuce near Iiaddeck, Cape Breton.
