con delighted the gathering by speak
ing of himself as an oldtimer in
Canada, and of Mr.. Baldwin as "al-
most a tenderfoot." He anticipated,

Go to Montreal Tomorrow.
Premier Baldwin was in a happy
mood and spoke at some length on
what is one Of his favorite topics,
rural life. He knew that in Quebec
there was the admirable love of the
soil upon which great nations had
been built. He spoke, too, of that
'love Of place" and the "lesser loyal
ties" to home and countryside which
were so fundamental to a great peo.
pie. 1t was the successful molding Of
two races into single state that was
the greatest achievement of political
civilization, he said.

Baldwin stuck his head through q port
hole with smile and CHEEKY wave
Of the hand which held his ever
present pipe.

meeting between Prime Minister
Baldwin and Vice President Dawes
at the Peace Bridge at Niagara Falls
| may offer an opportunity for informal
discussion OF the relative merits of the
pipes they prefer.

recalling at the outset that on his last
! visit to Canada, 81 years ago, many Of
| his hearers today We're not born.
| After q few words of appreciation of
| Canada and her performances. he said
! You iaay ask me some questions II
! you like but added Immediately, Il
won't promise to answer them"
The premier suggested that in the
speeches he will make on his Canadian

thing to say which Il hope will be
made available to larger audience
than those within the sound of my
voice."
