UNITED FRANCE
IN
this month of May, I am happy › to describe, as I see it, the position of France in respect of international problems. It is easy to define. France has never been more united than at present. United in itself and united with its friends.
One thing I wish to say is that all the French people are passion- ately interested in the voyage of Their Britanic Majestic in Cana- da; all Frenchmen, subjugated by the personality of the British so- vereigns since their visit to Paris, associate themselves with the moving tributes which thousands of children have offered to their King and their Queen. These ova- tions were pronounced in the French language and all those of this speech have approved and appreciated the statement of the Prime Minister of the Province of Quebec. While affirming their al- legiance to the British Crown, their attachment to its ancestral traditions, the fact that the King of England has seen fit to come to Canada to affirm the solidarity of this alliance is enough to afford a deep satisfaction to all who are French in heart. The Prime Min- ister of Quebec, Mr. Duplessis, has made a speech which will go down to history, when he reclaims the protection of the British throne for the democratic institu- tions and the constitutional liber- ties reproved elsewhere.
Representatives from practically every Hom play at Hackney Marshes on May 21. Photo s had exploded. (Air Mail), symbolical, of the intimacy which now exists between the sons of Great Britain and the sons of France.

After the message of President Roosevelt, and with it, the declar- ation of King George is the best answer to certain more or less vio- lent harangues; the fact the s vereign spoke in French is to the French mind a proof of his ex- treme courtesy. It is also an ad- mirable lesson of liberalism that
