MEMORABLE WEEKS
BALDWIN’S TOUR OF CANADA LETTER OF APPRECIATION THE TASK OF THE FUTURE. IBy Cable —Press Assn. - Copyright.) (Received 26. 1.15 p.m.) (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, Aug. 25. Mr. Stanley Baldwin has addressed the following telegram to the Prime Minister of Canada :—
“I am deeply indebted for the generous welcome and undoubted hospitality given to Mrs Baldwin and myself, and to all my party, ,n Canada during the three happy and memorable weeks. As my first act on returning to London I should like to express to you again, and through you to your colleagues in Government and to everyone who helped us, and indeed to all Canada, my most sincere and heartfelt thanks. It is a special pleasure to feel that through ray membership of His Majesty's Privy Council for Canada, with which I have been honoured, I shall have henceforward a permanent association with the fortunes and the future of the Dominion.
TWO THOUGHTS UPPERMOST. “I came to Canada with two thoughts uppermost in my mind. The first was to endeavour to interpret the spirit of Great Britain: if I nave in any way succeeded I shall be proud indeed. The second was to learn all I could of Canada so that 1 might, when I returned, help in some measure to interpret her to my countrymen; that task is for the days which are coming. “I have done my best to learn and I can send no better wish to Canada than that when next a Prime Minister of Great Britain visits her, he may find the same spirit and the same optimism as I have found in this year of the Diamond Jubilee if the Confederation.’ 1
