them. They come, in time, to take these rights for granted and assume that protection is assured. We. however. who have seen privileges lost by other continents and countries can . now appreciate their meaning to those people, who have ejoyed them once and now no longer can. “We understand some measure of what their loss can mean. and. by that realisation, we have come to a closer conception of their wprth to us. and to a stronger, unalterable determination that here, in our land, j they shall not be lost, weakened or curtailed.”—UP. A.
