Should a nation of only eight million people, with half a continent to develop and with many and large domestic problems of its own to solve, concern itself with conditions and affairs in other countries, on other continents, and throughout the world? Is it the duty of Canada to assist in bringing about @ solution of world problems and fn the development of a larger spirit of brotherhood among all peoples and nations? An overwhelming majority of Canadian people have answered these ques- tions in the affirmative on many occasions and in yarlous ways. From earliest days the Canadian churches ‘have recognized such responsibility in theli foreign mission work, their activities including the establishment of colloges, schools, hospitals and medical services, as well as the teaching of the ideaJs and precepts of the Christ. Our Government said “Yes” when they sent the Canadian contingent to fight for liberty and justice ip South Africa, and later when they authorized Canada’s young manhood in its hun- dreds of thousands to participate in the Great War. Canada’s Parliament, as representative of all Canadians, emphatically agreed when it set the seal of its approyal to the affixing of Canada’s signature to the covenant of the League of Nations. ‘Canadian opinion is well defined on this question, but, a3 was inevitable in yiew of our pioneer and largely undeveloped state, with many domestic diffi- qnllies and problems to be solved, our distance from the Old World, and our geographical, commercial and social connections with the United States which has for so long ‘accepted the Munroe Dostrine and its policy of isolation from, participation in world affairs, there are quite a few Canadians who are either opposed to Ganada accepting ady international responsibilities, or wlio rele- gate Such matters to a place ofvery minor importanec. The danger in & country like Canada is not that two much attention may be given to international questions, and our responsibility in regard thereto; (in the over-emphasis of sectfonal interests at home, whether those interests arisé from considerations of geography, religion, race or occypation. In their own interests Canadidns must be Canadians be- foré anything else—not Easterners or Westerners, farmers or manufacturers, French-speaking or English-speaking, Protestant or Roman Catholic, but Can- adians. Only so can Canada realize its high destiny afid play her part worth- ily in the larger affairs of the world. Whatever old statutes may say, Canadh has passed forever from the old posilion as a colony dependency of England. In the language of the Con- stitution of the Irish Free State, the dominions of the Empire are recognized as “co-equal members of the Community of Nations forming the British Com- It is now not only our right but our duty to think, not merely as Provinces, or as a Dominion, or even as an Empire, but internationally as a nation ina world protherhood of nations. Ps Even assuming it to be desirable, it is not possible to disregard our inter- national status and the responsibilities which attach to that po: tiom Even if Canada had not sent a soldfer to Europe in the Great War, this country would have suffered enormous 1 , and had Germany been victorious Can- ada, in common with the rest fof the world, would have suffered. Nations cannot approach problems today from the standpoint,of a narrow, selfish nationalism which thinks it is promoting {ts own interests best yhen it is gaining some advantage at the expense of other nations, History has proven that to be an entirely false conception. We cannot ignore international prob- or 8 is an adept, lems, and in our interest we must approach them from the larger point of yiew that a nation best serves its interests when it renders the greate humanity. We must adopt and follow the Christian rather tha: ideal. | If any part of Canada, or any section of the world for that matter, could | fgnore international responsibilities it would be the broad prairies of the West. But can-even this country afford to do so? Last year Western Can- ada harvested probably the best crop, taking quantity and quality together, it eyer produced, and yet haying regard to price realized and cost of production and marketing, many farmers are not yery much ahead. Why? The Cana- t costs of transportation to w pid mars kets partly responsible; costs of labor partly responsible. But without mint- mizing thes®, the fact remains a bushel of Canadian wheat on board ship at Hamburg, valued at $1.50 in Canadian currency, would cost the German buyer at the present rate of exchange 10,000 marks, or the equivalent of almost 2,500 Canadian currency at the pre-war rate of exchange. And what is true in the case of Germany is true in varying degrees of other European coun- tries which would be purchasers of our wheat. The result is that miljfons of people in Europe who watt our wheat cannot afford to buy it. Why? Because of the international situation. Canada is the loser and Europe is the sufferer. It is in Canada’s purely selfish and ccontrate ifiterests to take an even larger interest and responsibility in connection with international affs airs. But greater than these is the consideration we owe to the building up of a broader, better humanity and spirit of world brotherhood, and in the deyelop- ment of such mutual goodwill and understanding between nations nothing better than the League of Nations has yet beem devised. It ig not perfect, nor can it reach its full power and usefulness until all nations, including many, Russla and the United States, are incorporated in its membership. The League ts gaining in prestige, and*indsmuch as nothing succeeds like suc- cess, and as nothing but success can induce the United States and other countries to come in, it Is C a’s proud privilege to do all in its power to support the League and assist in interpreting it to pur neighbors to the south. t service to the pagan HORSEMEN 1] | Minard’s should be, in every Horrid Insects A girl who had just returned from | Egypt was telling her mother about the pyramids and other wonders. |Some of the stones, she sald, were covered with hieroglyphics. “I hope dear,” safd her mother, anxiously, “you were careful not to get any of them on you.”—London Tit-Bits, stable.
