Following the unveiling ceremony. Premier Mackenzie King delivered a notable address. He said: The statue, which His Royal Highness The Prince of WaleB has graciously consented to unveil this afternoon has been erected by authority of parliament to commemorate the name and memory of one whose lite is a part of thc history of Canada, antl a part of the history of the larger community of British nations of which His Majesty 1b King. In the lights and shadows ot history, there are few events which present more in the way of parallel and contrast than the ceremony of today and a ceremony of thirty yenrs ago which It serveB to recall. Thirty years ago, the British Empire was c lebratlng the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's accession to the Throne. This year, Canada is celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of the Confederation of her provinces. Thirty years ago, at the heart of the Empire of which she was Queen, tbe revered and venerable Victoria was bestowing, as a mark of royal favor, a knighthood on Wilfrid Laurier. at the time the Prime Minister of Canada. Today in the capital of Canada, the memory of Sir Wilfrid is being honored by the Illustrious great-grandson of her lute Majesty. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, our future king, who Is about to unveil the statue of Sir Wilfrid In the distinguished presence, amongst others, of His Royal Highness Prince George, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain. Where In history will be found aught thnt speaks more of the Inheritance which we of tlle British communities share In common; or more of Its poetry and romance?

For the benefit of those Welsh families having no means of transportation, n truck will leave the post office: 1st trip, 9 a.m.; 2nd trip, 10 a.m. prompt. A collection wlll be taken on the beach. Spurts wlll commence Immediately after lunch. A large number of residents of | Cumberland visited the headwaters of , Comox Lake last week-end. Amongst those noted were: Mr. and Mrs. It. I Freeburn and family, Mr. aud Mrs. R. T. Brown nnd family, Mr. and Mrs. | S. Robertson, Messrs. M. Williamson, I J. Gillespie. G. J. Richardson, J. Ver- | non-Jones. Jlr. and MrB. T. Carney i and family, Mrs. L. Hunden and fam- > Ily. Messrs. Cameron and Thompson I were also out at the Lake testing out their new power boat "Llndy." their children's children, homes on the shores of thc St. Laurence. It was exactly 200 years from the time at which his lirst ancester arrived in Canada, that Laurier was born on November 20, 1841, nt St. Un, a French-Canadian village not many miles distant from .Montreal. In that Interval of 200. years. Canada had passed from a French to a British possession. More remarkable still, Canada, largely French - Canadian, had remained British, when elsewhere in North America. British Colonies In 1770 declared their independance. Within this period also, ilumlg the war of 1812-14, French-Canadian loyalty once more aided in preserving Canada to the British Crown. The seventy - seven years which elapsed between the birth of Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1S41 and his death ou February 17. 1919, contain the other epoch-making events of our history âthe establishment of responsible self-government, the Confederation of the provinces, the expansion of tlie Dominion, antl Canada's participation In thc Great War. lt was within this framework, which embraces Canada's development from a group of small (Continued ou Page Four) Boat Service Will Prove Big Asset To This District (Powell River. Aug. 3.) The daily service established by Captain Foote with the motorshlp Comox, Is appreciated by Powell River, and lt Is hoped that the patronage accorded him wlll grow as time goes on. The service Is creating a spirit of tratcrnallsm that heretofore has been almost impossible. One of the local lodges has the "Comox" chartered for a trip to the Island next Saturday and Sunday. It Is not unlikely that some- at least, of the other societies represented here, will follow this lead In the near future. There are enough societies in Comox district and Powell River to patronize the new service nt least once every month for a year. It was Captain Foote's sturdy little ship that made lt possible for the Courtenay baseball team to cross over the pond last Sunday. FUND FOR FIRE VICTIMS The picnic committee of the em. ployees of the Canadian Collieries took the Initiative last week and started a fund for the sufferers in the [ recent disastrous fire at No. 5 Japanese Town. Two representatives ol the picnic committee waited on the Council on Monday laBt and laid an appeal before tho city fathers with thc result that S150 was tlonated by the Council. The representatives also waltetl on the management of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., who very generously donated the sum of $250. The picnic committee hud previously voted $100 from their funds and with $500 now In sight, It Is proposed to make an appeal during the next few days to the citizens, As donations nre received by the picnic committee, acknowledgement wlll be announced through the columns of The Islander.

In a farewell editorial the Auckland Herald says that tlle Canadians Inâ Laurier today. That is not an easy : task, for the great figures of history are seen ln retrospect. They emerge ln their true proportions only as tho present recedes Into the past. There ls much, however, In the Laurier whom they all kuew, which his contemporaries, by common conseti;. would have been quick to concede, and it is of this, more especially, thai I desire to speak. Laurier was. first and foremost. > great Canadian. I dn nol. 1 trust, take from the greatness of other lives, some of them commemorated on this Hill, when I Bay thai of nil lhe personalities ln our history, his was tho most distinctively Canadian. It embodied much of Canada's past as well as of Its present. It spoke to us of the two great races that have shaped our destiny, and of a broader toleration In religious faiths. In his ancestry, by direct descent, Laurier went back to the beginnings of French colonization In Canada, Allied to the flrst enduring French settlement established by Cliamplaiu at Quebec In 1608 was the sister settlement at Montreal founded by Sleur l)e Malssonneuve, In 1641. Among the number who, as soldier colonists with Sleur de Malsonneuve, sought to gain a wider dominion for their sovereign and their faith, was Laurler's first Canadian ancestor. Others of his ancestors In the years Immediately following. For eight generations ln unbroken successions, his forefathers pioneered ln the wilds af tho Lauren- tlans, making for their children, and troduced a higher standard of soccer than that prevailing In New Zealand, and that tin* cordial spirit ruling throughout the tour augurs well for closer relations between tlle two Dominions In future. The outstanding players of the team were Tall. Monaghan. Turner and Archibald, ail with the exception of Turner being members of B.C. teams. One noteworthy feature of the tour has been the success of ox- Cumberland players iu the persons of Tnlt, Monaghan, Turner and Milligan. The boys wlll be home about August 23.

Maxwell, whilst playing tennis on the local courts on Tuesday evening, had tbe misfortune to slip, breaking her wrist. Local Ball Tossers Visit Powell River Under a boiling hot sun, a baseball team composed of members of the old Courtenay team, augmented by players from Cumberland, lost a ragged game to Powell River on the Paper- makers' diamond on Sunday afternoon, It was a regular slug-fest, with the Courtenay players getting the edge with the willow, but the | error column easily tells the reason ! why they lost; they booted, muffed | and threw wild balls all over the lot. j We stopped scoring them when we reached nine errors for the loggers, I as we did not'vant to get Into double ] figures The papermukers started their scoring ln their halt of the first Innings with three; Courtenay chalked up two In thc third, but the paper- makers came back with three more.

The loggers thought they hud the game on Ice In the sixth when they brought in five runs and blanked the papermakers but thc latter put In a new pitcher with the fruity appellation ot "Banana," who held thc visitors to one hit for a lone tally during the rest of the gnme, while his team mates tallied three In the seventh and five more In the eighth, making It unnecessary to play lhe last half ot the ninth, the final score bolng: Courtonay 11; Powell River, 16.

Richardson, Maryport Avenue, Cumberland, travelling to England for a holiday, on board the Montcalm, had a thrilling experience when the vessel hit an Iceberg two days out from Montreal. The following clipping, taken from an oltl country paper just received, pays a glowing tribute to the quick work and action of the captain:â "Over a thousand passengers on board lhe Canadian Pacific Railway liner Montcalm, which reached Greenock recently, had a thrilling experience, many women fainting, when that liner struck an Iceberg In the Straits of Belle Isle, two days out from Montreal, on her voyage to the Clyde and Liverpool. Dense fogs were met In the- passage down the St. Lawrence River, and at 2.0 p.m. on Sunday, July 3, the passengers were startled to hear a crunching noise antl to find the vessel heeling over to the port side. The Montcalm had slid on to a submerged ledge of a huge berg which ruse high above the funnels of the vessel. With some way on, she slid along the ledge, and eventually righted herself.

During the early hours of Monday morning one of the pioneers of Royston, Mr. David Roy, residing at the junction of the Courtenay, Union Boy and Roy Roads, passed away peacefully In his Bleep. Mr. David Roy was a native of Plc- tou County, Nova Scotia, where he was born In 1869. In 1887 the whole family, consisting of William Roy, wife, two sons and two daughters, following the westward trend, came across the continent to settle on Vancouver Island. After working for a short period at Wellington and Nanaimo, the whole family came to Cumberland, then a small mining camp and since then have made that district their home. William Roy, re- cognizing tbe possibilities of Royston as both a farming and pleasure resort, took up a section of land there and upon his death, a few years ago, the estate came to the deceased. After working In the mines with his father, the young mau came to reside at Royston (named from the family, Roy's town), being engaged in putting through the original road to Cumberland (Roy's Road), and It wus with greot pride be saw its development from n mere trail to what Is now the finest stretch of highway in the district. In 1899 he married Miss Isabel Stewart, also of Plctou County, nnd his surviving family Include the widow, one son and one daughter. Being interested in all local activities, his friends remembir him as a staunch supporter of the Conservative banner, a member of Hiram Lodge No. 14, A. F. ft A. M., and also a member of the Native Sons of Canada whilst his gifts as a violinist made him deservedly popular in musical circles, where his absence will be moBt acutely felt. It was the writers' good fortune to have known him long and well, and we only knew him to esteem him more highly as the years passed by. Today we miss his kindly smile and friendly greeting; we long In vain to hear the jovial laughter and to feci again his genial presence. For thc last six years Mr. Roy has been the E. & N. station agent at Royston Station antl passengers will miss his cheery word of god-speed to the parting and welcome to the incoming visitor. The funeral, which was held on Wednesday, under Courtenay Masonic auspices, waB largely attended by I many friends from all over the district, attesting to the high regard In which the deceased was held. A short [ service was held at the family res- idciice by the Rev. E. O. Robathan. utter which tlie cortege proceeded 'o I the Sandwick United Church Cemet- ery for Interment, where the Mason- | io ritualistic service was conducted by Mr. 3. K. McKenzie. Senior Warden, in the absence of the Master. The chief mourners were the widow. Mr. Herbert Roy, and Dr. and Mrs. Harrison P. Millard. The pallbearers wcre Messrs. J. W. McKenzie. Sr., Wm. Baikle. G.

Opium Seizure At Collieries Station Acting on Information, Provincial Police Matthews and Fenton made the Belzure of five tins of opium on Wednesday last, at the Canadian Collieries Station. The opium was cleverly concealed In the hearts of cabbages, the heart being taken out and the opium substituted. It was Impossible for anyone, not knowing of Its presence, to discern any peculiarity about the cabbages, being perfect ln every respect. The shipments were addressed to Wing Lee, a merchant of Chinatown. There was one shipment came In with Tuesday's freight and one on Wednesday. On discovering the opium, Fenton waited for thc Chinaman to claim the freight and on doing so he was arrested. This seizure leads up to the conclusion that opium has been shipped Into the local Chinatown spasmodically and ln future a stricter watch will be kept. Boy Jumps From Moving Train; Is Badly Injured On Thursday (yesterday) a very painful injury was sustained by Victor TomaBsI as a result of jumping from the train bringing the morning shift miners from work. It appears that Tomassi, along with another boy, had been out to Comox Lake, and on returning, the boy Tomassi was with, had been entrusted with bis father's pick. On nearing Cumberland, the train slows down considerably before stopping, and It was at this time that the boys Jumped off. The boy with the pick jumped first and Tomassi followed immediately, landing on the pick, which penetrated into the groin and leaving a deep gash. Tomassi ls In the Cumberland Hospital at present, under the care of Dr. B, R. Hicks, and Is progressing as well as can bc expected. ThlB accident will serve as a warning to other children who travel to Comox Lake by means of this train. The Canadian Collieries have signs posted up on the conches warning the people against jumping from the train whilst In motion, and unless they are obeyed the children wlll be stopped from riding to and fro. POWELL RVER'S JUBILEE QUEEN WILL ATTEND DANCE AT KUVS'l'UN Mr. Frank Burde, general manager of the Vancouver Dally Province, accompanied by Mrs. Burde, was In the district during the week and spent a little time out at Little River. (Powell River, Aug. 3.) Powell River Assembly. No. 38, Native Sons of Canada, has decided to hold its annual outing on the evening of Thursday, August llth. when a monster moonlight excursion will be run. the Union Steamship Company's popular ship "Lady Cecelia." having been chartered for that night. li Is expected that several hundred persons will avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy Ul evening's sail on the waters of the gulf and a few hours dancing at Royston Open- Alr Pavilion.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1927 The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1927 WHAT IS A HOME? SOCIOLOGISTS and psychologists have rediscovered the great moral importance of the home as an institution. But what is the home? The answer to that question is not as obvious as may appear at flrst sight. Parents alone do not make a true home. Parents today make more sacrifices for their children than ever before. They may even devote more anxious thought than was ever devoted to the physical, mental and moral training of their children, and yet the net result may be, and often is, disappointing. Why ? Because, some thinkers assert, parental effort must be supplemented by the constant, subtle indirect influence of the home as a distinct institution. That is, the home is a moral as well is a physical entity. To live in a real home, to study, to rest and amuse oneself at home, to be fond of certain rooms, bookshelves, pictures, furniture, and to entertain friends and discuss matters of current interest during or after dinner, is to be the recipient of all manner of impressions and stimuli that mold character and socialize the individual. Perhaps the influence of the home as a separate social institution has not been stressed sufficiently in late years, although much has been said about the disappearance of the home in the larger cities and its replacement by small flats and apartments in which neither parents nor children spend much of their leisure hours. "Back to the Home" is a significant slogan. Parents as well as children need the old-fashioned comfortable individual home. THE WORLD GROWS BETTER DID you ever stop to think what a slippery, slimy, vile earth this was in the early days before our beautiful sun had begun to put in order? Great reptiles crawled through the swamps and life was at its lowest form. It is still bad enough in spots like the Florida everglades or the African jungles, but it shows signs of improvement. This was a vile and savage earth of ours before the sun of education began to warm civilization and develop the human mind. The cave man killed with his club and yanked his woman about by the hair of her head. We still have bitter prejudices, superstitutions, envy, malice and hatred to contend with, but we are growing kinder and more considerate of each other. Yes, the poor, old, scarred earth is growing better and those with their faces turned toward the sun can see the light of a brighter day coming. WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD? WHAT becomes of all these things we call thoughts? Where do all the good stories we hear go? Why is it when you want to think of the name of a book or a story or a play you never can recall it? We know a man who says no thought is ever lost. He says our brain is just like a nice com- etent filing cabinet. Everything you know nnd everything you hear,and everything you read is filed away there all in order, and the clever people are the ones who never lose the key to the cabinet They can always unlock the door and put in a thumb and pull out a plum, just whenever they feel like it. Dull people have the filing cabinets, too, but they lose the key, and that's why they can't remember the things they forget. After all, that knob on your neck is a wonderful piece of machinery and it is truly remarkable how many old recollections you have stored up in that thing you call your brain. Did you ever stop to think that what you have in that wonderful cabinet represents all you have in the world ? Lose the power to think and you become nothing. Fined For Drunkenness Owing lo many complaints having been received as to the conduct of certain frequenters at the Saturday night dances at Royston Pavilion, the Provincial Police took the matter in hand on Saturday night lasl with the result that four youths were hulled before Magistrate Hames ou .Monday evening charged with being in a state of intoxication in a public place. They all pleaded guilty and were each fined $25.00 and costs. In deference to the mothers of these miscreants we refrain from publishing their names on this occasion.

PUBLIC CAREER Laurier was elected to tbo legislature of tbe Province of Quebec in 1871. He entered tlie parliament of Canada in 1S74. Three years later, he became a .Minister of the Crown in the administration of Alexander .MacKenzie. In 1SS7 he became tbe Leader uf the Liberal Party, and I Leader of the Opposition in the House i of Commons, in 1890, he became Prime .Minister. The office of Prime '.Minister lie held continuously for fifteen years. From 1911 to his death it I in 191(1, he continued the Leader of ! his parly and the Leader of the Opposition. Il was a greal public career. In period of time alone, it embraced membership in tlie House of Commons of within five years of half a century. PERSONALITY At a moment such as the presen it would be impossible, even were it I appropiate, to attempt to sketch ti incidents of Laurier's career. At mo: H.R.H. Tbe Prince of Wales, seen wearing his famous 10 gallon bat. The Prince, on Wednesday of tliis week, unveiled the statue of! Sir Wilfrid Laurier, al Ottawa. world. It is our boast that in this country liberty of all kinds, civil and religious liberty, flourish lo tlie highest degree." To those of his own race be never failed to extol tbe degree i temal affairs. Here and now, it is â interesting to recall tbat as early as , 18i>7, in London, at the time of Queen ' Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, Laurier ! spoke of the British Empire as *'a ] galaxy of Nations." If, as is now gen- I era Ily accepted, "a community of free nations" united by a common alla- I giance to Ibe Crown is an accurate j description of tbe British Empire, it may, I think, truthfully be said ihat i few, if any, entertained this conception earlier or. in ils entirety of out- 1 line, more clearly than Sir Wilfrid ; Laurier; and that working towards it.** realization as he did, through good report aud 111, no man in his day or generation contributed more to what i we believe will prove to be tbe endur- t fug foundation of that great structure. i INTKKHtKTATOIN OK UURIKIi ' All important, however, as is a right development in Inter-imperial relatione, it was not on the place he [ would hold in the building of Empire, that Sir Wilfrids thoughts were ceu- ' tred. If lie gave thought lo the mat- i ter at all, it was ot the place he I wuuld hold in the hearts of the people, i in the hearts of tbe people in tbe laud tbat gave him birth, and in tbe to which lie believed justice to be sec ured and rights to be protected under I Humble homes with which, in his boy- the British Flag.

"Nature," says one of hia biographers, "wus prodigal ot her gifts to Wilfrid Laurier." ill appearance he was markedly disiin- guished. His manner and bearing spoke of the chivalry of his race, and iu more particulars than one, lie gave to chivalry its highest expression. His great natural endowments were enriched by u nobility of character that made his personnallty one of rare dignity and serenity. Wlier*.- ever he went, lie seemed to shed "a constant influence, a peculiar grace." -He was singulary devoid of jealousies and prejudices, singulary charitable in his estimates of others and singulary forgiving. In all things hc was a great gentleman. His public and private life were suns peur et sans reproche. He was the type of leader whom men delight to follow, and whom a nation is proud to honour. A GREAT PARLIAMENTARIAN Laurier was a great parliamentarian. His life was centered in tlie House of Commons and its associations. Neither law nor journalism claimed more than the beginnings of his career. Once he became the leader of his party, it was amid the affairs of tlie state tliat his life wus wholly lived. It is difficult to say whether the gift of oratory. In which he was unsurpassed and which he exercised witli a natural and equal grace in tlie French and English languages brought him more of power and in- I fluence on the platform or in parliament. Wherever he spoke men were attracted by his words, and f I above all by the charm of their del- [ Ivery and expression. Behind the gift of utterance lay a-mllld keen in its perceptions and richly stored in a knowledge of affairs, in history and literature; also a heart, tender ami strong In its emotions, and warmly responsive to lhe interests of other lives. Ini'liieiice <il' nnd Altnchmciil to llritish Institutions Sir Wlllfld's political thought was largely shaped by his sludy of llritish parliamentary Institutions, He never ceased to speak of wlial be felt lie owed to the writings nnd example of such men as Macaulay nnd Burke, of pin and Fox. of Bright ami Gladstone. To him the British Constitution was a bulwark of freedom, and British parliamentary procedure and practice the palladium of liberty, lie was an upholder of constitutional monarchy and bad a very real concern for the Unity of lhe British Empire of which he believed lhe Crown to be the great bond. There was. lie said, something which appealed strongly to the Imagination, and which for him had a great all ruction in an agglomeration of continents under the British Crown. The firm basis of the British Empire, next to lhe Brlllsn Crown, he believed to lie In the complete autonomy of tlle self-governing units. Addressing the then Prince of Wales, now His Majesty King George on the occasion of the Tercentenary celebration at Quebec in 1008, Sir Wilfred said: As I advance in years I appreciate the more the wisdom of that British Constitution under which Iwas bofn and brought up. and under which I have grown old. which has given to the various portions of the Empire their separate free governments.

THE RIGHTS OF MINORITIES The rights of minorities were lo Sir Wilfred a sacred cause. Frequently I have heard him say that to lie of the minority in both race nnd religion was. in his public life. Ihe cross Ihat had been given Illlll to bear. Al tlle time lie became tlie leader of Ills party, lie is known to have asserted that it would mean mucli of sacrifice ill tlie end. He was lliink- Laurter that would most have nccord- I cd with ills own wish, it Is nol tlie Laurier in the early years of Ills premiership, receiving a knighthood from the worlds most illustrious Queen; nor lhe maturer Laurier, at the zenith of his power; but tlie Laurier of years, the Laurier of the people, fighting for tlie right as God gave hlni to see the rigid. THE SCULPTOR,,!. EMILE BUT NET Tllat his spirit already has inspired the youth of our land is evidenced by Ing ol* how the real significance of I whal we shall see in a few moments, larger Issues is often lost in appeals ' In a competition open to the sculp- that are made to prejudice and pass- ] tors of the world, tlie first place was ion.

I believe, come from where Sir Wilfrid himself was FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1927 cause of his youth, that Mr. Brunot was commissioned by the Government to execute the work. On behalf of the Government. I should like publicly to express to liim today our satisfaction with the manner in which his task has been performed, and our high admiration of the statue itself. As Canadians, we share his pride, that the honor of executing the statue of Sir Wilfrid Laurier now erected on Parliament Hill should have fallen to one of whom Sir Wilfrid himself would have been more than proud, ami who lias given to his country one more notable example of the artistic genius of the people of the province of Quebec. IMI'RESSIVENESS OF THE STATUE In conclusion, ns u resident of Ottawa, may I lie permitted to say, with what pride we of this capital city behold this statue, In thc place which lias heen accorded it on Parliament ' Hill. How befitting are the surround- j lugs! Here are the Houses of Par- liiimcnl with which Sir Wilfrid's life was so intimately associated; yonder, are the Laurciitlan Hills that he ao dearly loved; and, there, the gate through which lie was wont to pass. Tills city was Identified with his public life more closely than any other, lt contains innumerable associations wilh his name. It was here that, for I many years, he and Lady Laurier had I their home, lt was his great ambition ' to make II a capital of which all ' Canada would be proud. ( To me there is something deeply ! impressive in this bronze figure : standing where It is. I have watched little children play about its base. j How Sir Wilfrid would have loved 'â thai! I hnve seen men and women of all walks of life conic in the quiet of i evening to pay it reverence. Today, ! it Is given unto Princes to do it honor. There is something, however, even more impressive than all this. It is left "when tlle captains and the kings depart." It is what future generations will see. when we who knew liim shall have passed away, and others gather where we today are assembled. It is the old man, with Ills bare bead ami his white hair. standing alone, fighting for the right as God gave him to see the right.

Not only in Canada did it help lo inspire in the breasts of minorities a confidence in his advocacy of British traditions and . lows, but in tilt- larger arena of Em- j pire, it gave to men of other races a faith in the justice and freedom of British institutions which, with less j iu (lie way of example, they might have found it .difficult to possess, MIIHNt. PRINCIPLES IWITY, LIBERTY As 1 seek for the guiding principles i iu Laurlers' Leadership, ! find them | in the words, unity and liberty. To his mind the one was indispensable to the other. There could be no true i unity where doubts existed as to i liberty without a conscious unity. liberty without a conscious unity. Unity and liberty, he believed, could only be attained through counsels of moderation and toleration. For this! -eason he sought in all that pertained to differences of opinion, lo avoid co- , ercion and to practise conciliation, i Unity and liberty were equally esson- tlal as underlying principles in na-1 tional and imperial policies. Appro- ! dating to Hie lull (he significance oft the differences in origin of the Canadian people. Sir Wilfrid believed wilh ; all his heart thai only by a profound ' regard for each other's point of view iu racial, religious and economic controversies could the unity of Canada be maintained; aud Canadian unity was Laurier*B supreme aim. In the liberty of worship, of language and custom guaranteed to his compatriots i by the policy of Ihe Quebec Act of 1774. and confirmed iu the Constitutional Aci of 1791,, he won his first confidence in the breadth of vision of Britlah Statesmanship. In the autonomy of the provinces of' oar Dominion, he came to feel a security in the larger project of Confederation. In national autonomy, he believed, lay the secret of Imperial unity. Self-government, expanding in area as it developed with time, such was his vision of unity secured by liberty, and his vision of liberty maintained by unity. VISION OF EMPIRE The Imperial Conference of 1!>26 has declared the British Empire :o be a group of self-governing communities, equal in status nnd in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or px- born.
