Great Traditions. Probably the great majority of Canadians are content at the mc- ment with the present status. We are proud of our partnership in the British Commonwealth and we in- tend to retain it. We hold as amongst our dearest possessions our share in the great traditions that centre around the British Isles, traditions of liberty and justice, of ordered democracy and constitutional development. Tradi tions of stability and courage and respect for the plighted word. We are content, the majority of us, with the immaterial tie which binds us all together and we point to the history of the Great War as proof of the strength of that tie. (Applause);
