DUE CANADA SAYS
ENGLISH PUBLICIST

Urging that our Canadian citizenship
is just as vital as our religion, and ap-
pealing for a keener national conscious-
ness by all citizens, Arthur Hawkes,
editor of the Toronto Star and noted
publicist, addressed an overflow inceting
in the Orange hall Thursday night upon
‘the subject of ‘‘Canadianism’’ oud as
an Englishman, defined his attitude ‘iv
the matter.

Punctuating his address with many
witty anecdotes, and threading the
entire discourse with characteristic droll
humor, Mr. Hawkes was able to make
an important and serious subject most
acceptable to an audience somewhat
tired by an hour’s wait for the speakers
who were delayed through a ‘blow-out’
on the road to Abbotsford from the city

Secession Talk Rife

With Nova Scotia threatening fiscal
secession, the opposing attitudes of On-
tario and Quebec, and the feeling in the
west that the East regarded this part
of the country as a ‘‘milch cow!’ was
not consistent with natidnal unity, ob-
served Mr. Hawkes. Directing many of
his remarks particularly to old country
born people, Mr. Hawkes, referring to
his John Bulldike proportions and na-
tionality, made opportunity of the sym-
pathetic contact with his hearers to ex-
pound some very direct conceptions of
the obligations due Canada by her
adopted citizens. The Englishman’s
propensity he said for ‘‘kicking, and
kicking hard against anything he did
not like’? was likely to make him un-
popular. But in sketching some Bng-
lish history, the speaker.showed that
this habit was early instilled in the race
through always having to ‘‘fight the
oppressor at home’’ Scottish kings, he
Said, in reciting history, had brought a
conception of the ‘divine right of kings
to the British throne, and it was this
oppressive spirit that had created the
reactive ‘‘kicking’? characteristics in
the British strain which in many ways
the speaker regarded as indication of a
healthy, pregressive urge. The idea at
one time held by stay-at-home Britishers
that the ‘‘colonials’’—the men and wo-
man who emigrated to the frontiers of
Empire and caryed from the bush farm
homes, as had been done in Ontario,
and in this district—were ‘‘iiferior’’
was brusquely disposed by the speaker.
While attending an Ontario fair last
year, he regarded the several hundred
fine cars parked and owned by attend-
ing farmers, saw their well-educated,
neatly dressed and capable sons and
daughters he could not restrain an invid.
ious comparison between the pioneer
farmer citizens in Canada, and those
following the agricultural calling in the
older coutries. Humorously repeating
the prevailing Eastern pleasantry that
as Quebec was ‘‘God’s mistake’’ 5
Ontario was ‘'God’s correction’? Mr.
Hawkes referred to the days in Ontario
when whisky was 25 cents a gallon-and
there were 400 bars to the then 50,000
population of Toronto. Today, he said,
there is not a barmaid, or woman pub-
licly dispensing liquor in all of Canada.

Owe First Duty to Country of Adoption
» Candians have two birthrights the
speaker sdid. ‘‘One, that of being born
in Canada’’ (of which we were not con-
sulted); the other: of being the cause
of somebody else bemg born in Canada’
Just as we love our children, so must we
exalt Canada above all other nations’’
Mr. Hawkes said in urging old-country
born parents to incaleate in their chil-
dren first loyalty to Canada and things
anadian. Disposing of prejudiced eri-
ticism that‘‘ Canada lacks history’’ the
speaker poffied fo Canadian achievement
in the late war—the only army losing
no guns or ground that it did not regain
—its sacrifice of 60,000 men—and the
wonderful history of development occur-
ing every y in the west—Saskatche-
wan, for tance, inhabited a few
years ago only by a handful of Indians
now producing and exporting more
wheat than any other like province or
area in then entire world. ‘This is
history and history of the right kind’?
he said, ‘ j

Canadians are/a greater people than
they think they are, observed Mr.
Hawkes, ‘‘Diyide the allegiance of a
man and you destroy the patriotism of
the nation’’ The people of Canada
must awaken a national consciousness,
he said, in commenting upon his obser-
vation that only in Quebee and British
Columbia is the national anthem ‘‘O
Canada’ being sung with the fervor and
emotion shown by the Abbotsford au-
dience that night.

200,000 Left Canada Last Year

The meeting was arranged by Sumas
Assembly Native Sons of C a, with
Thos. A. Menzies as chairman. Secre-
tary Cummings and _ Vice-President
Harvey of the Grand Lodge N. S. ac-
companied Mr, Hawkes to Abbotsford
but postponed their addresses in defer-
ence to the prominent Toronto editor,
who with his wife embarked on the east
bound C.N-R. train at Matsqui imme-
diately following the meeting. Mr. Har-
vey, in a brief platform appearance,
indicated the substance of his future
address in giving the pregnant figures
that 200,000 Canadians emigrated from
this country into the United States last
year. During the past decade over one
-and-a-half million citizens of this coun-
try had so. departed, representing a
population loss, estimated by natural in-
crease, of five million persons—enough
additional population to solve most of
Canada’s economie problems of today,
eluding railways,

A vote of thanks sponsored by W.
Dawson, was appropriately tendered by
the Chairman, followed by singing of
“*God Save the King.’

The meeting was followed by brief
social mingling and serving of refresh-
ments by the Native Daughters.
