WEEK OF MOURNING
- * CANADIAN MINISTER'S SUGGESTION* LONDON, April % The call for a week of mourning to end pessimistic thought, made by Mr H. H. Stevens, •'Canadian Minister of Trade and Commerce, in a recent address in Hamilton, Ontario, brought serious comment in the * Manchester Guardian.’ 1 » . The ‘ Guardian ’ points out that m this country even archbishops have soma difficulty in getting just one day set apart for a national mood of prayer and repentance. If Canadians do, indeed, possess such remarkable capacity for sustained self-reproach, it would seem a, little dangerous to suggest in-1 dulging it on so large a scale, it continued. ..... “ After a week of breast-beating the (Country might get itself into such » nose dive of depression that it might never emerge, but descend* still croaking into irredeemable depths. A week is a long time for tho mourners to go about tho streets; when the time comes for them to rejoice they may have■ forgotten what tho bright side of things looks like,” the newspaper concluded.
