EMPIRE UNITY,
Montreal, Nov. 2.
Scenes of affectionate enthusiasm in the masses of people lining the streets were rendered on the occasion of the departure of the Prince of Wales, whose visit here completed the official portion of his Canadian tour, during which the Prince of Wales travelled 8,000 miles on the Canadian Pacific train. in addition to long journeys on The Prince spends other railways in eastern Canada,
a few days unofficially visiting before proceeding to the United States,
B..
Toronto. Nov. 4,
The Prince of Wales addressing a combined meeting of the Canadian Empire Clubs said the welfare of the whole Empire is the big question and it had taken a new shape since the wur. Because of their wholehearted participation in the great struggle the Dominions had entered the partnership of nations as signatories of the Peace Treaties and members of the League of Nations. The Dominions were no longer colonies but sister nations of the British nation. Their international importance will'steadily increase, yet all desire to remain within the Empire whose unity is shown by the common allegiance to the King. Consequently 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 Canada' in exactly the same way. This also means that when I go to the United States next week I shall regard myself as going there not only as an Englishman and Britisher but also as a Canadian and a representative of the whole Empire. Now the war is over we must keep the standard of patriotism and unity whereof we showed ourselves capable during the long struggle. We must not lose touch with each other or we shall lose all we won in the last four years by common action.
Referring to the wonderful welcomes accorded him in Canada the Prince of Wales said "I am not conceited enough to accept these welcomes as personal to myself and realise they are given me as the King's representative. This means that the Throne stands for the heritage of those common aims and ideals shared equally by all sections, all parties and all nations within the British Commonwealth. No Government represents or stands for all parties or all nations within the Empire but nevertheless this COMMUN sentiment is shared not only by all nations within the Empire but also by all political parties within each nation. It is this common sentiment which made Britishers stand together in the great war and I realise this same sentiment has been expressed in the wonderful As heir to the Throne welcomes given me in Canada.
I shall always endeavour to live up to the great respon- sibility of my position and be worthy of your trust." All Ontario's leading men were present at the meeting which was most enthusiastic. The Prince had to stop his speech frequently till the cheering subsided,
THE CHINA FLEET.
