“We were at peace. On that Empire Day I spoke of the ideal of freedom, justice and peace upon which our Commonwealth of free peoples is founded. The clouds were rathering but 1. held. fast to the hope that those ideals might yet achieve a fuller and richer develop- ment without suffering the grievous onslaught of war,

But it was not to be. The evill appears in a brighter and more which we strove unceasingly and certain light.
