PRINCESS lSSENA

-s'tA~S
Among those who are spending the +
mid-w inter season at the Princess +
fssena are Mr.. and Mrs Hugh NJ. I
Watson OF West Mount. Montreal. +
Canada. West Mount is one of the I
most desirable residence sections of :
the big Canadian City. Both MIR and !
Mrs. Watson are delighted with the /
climate in Seabreeze and are enjoy
ing their surroundings at the Prin-
cess Issena. although they were
obliged to take one of the cottages
as all the rooms II the hotel proper
was taken before their application.
Mr.. Watson has spent his years OF
active business life in the manufac-
tare OF cotton goods He says that
industrial conditions III the Dominion
are at present very promising and
that he believes that Canada suffered
less in material way from the great
war than any other country. He
SAYS the great western part of the
country is almost untouched and that
Canada has room and resource enough
wonderful said Mr. Watson, the
way in which Canada changed from
great. peace loving country into
military one when the necessity
aroses The first concern TO attempt
tie manufacture OF shells there was
The Dominion Bridge company of Mon
treal ana everyone thought il an inn
possible thing TO accomplish, but she
demonstrated to the world that she
could produce munitions OF war in al
most every town ard city within her
borders and that She could as we'll
produce the brave men to use the mu-
iiitions
Mr.. Watson says that Montreal is.
growing and prospering. He said;
With the. exception of the Province
OF Quebec. the Dominion of Canada
is dry This is one reason why there
are great numbers of people in Mon
treal. Every person in the city that
have any rooms to rent may be sure
of tenants. The Province of Quebec
will no doubt. always remain as it is
so far as prohibition is concerned. be-
cause from the time that England
first controlled in the Dominion it was
agreed that III Quebec. where the
population was entirely French,
should make their own local laws,
speak their own language, if they so
desired. and these French people are
not apt TO vote for prohibition. The
population continues to be very
largely French Except in Montreal
the language spoken is almost entire
~ French. OF course. it is a mistake
and those people cannot expect TO do
as we'll i'll an English country as they
would were they TO affiliate with the
natives ard learn the language and
customs of the English population.
Untn they can do this they will con
tinue to be the "hewers OF wood and
the drawers of water
Regarding the irish question Mr.
Watson said;
TO satisfy the Irish is an impos
sihlity. No country has ever done
more for d people than England has
done for Ireland The fact that the
inhabitants of North Ireland are sat
ished with the laws and conditions
under which they live tells its own
story The people of north ireland
are better educated apd more enlight
eaed as a class than those of the
south
There is in Canada only the
trlendlest feeling for he United
States When you people cross the
Enes You are simply one OF as and
ahere is only feeling of brotherhood
fetween England and the United
States there is also the most cordial
relations. sand it is only those who
;want to see trouble between these
tNo great English speaking countries
thai there is ever any attempt at agi-
tation.
Continuing Mr. Watson said: 1T
would not be very surprising to me
ii in the years 10 come the seat Of
inc English government was to be in
Montreal. The location would be
nlole central with regard 10 the col
uaies. and / do not think ii would
he = change 10 which the United
States would object
Mr.. Watson said he had the pleas
ure of meeting and talking with
r-esident-elect Harding and that he
has every confidence in him.
