Kingdom of Canada.
(Prince Rupert News.)

A that would be a retrograde one would be the changing of this Dominion to a Kingdom While it is already that in fact there is no reason why we should tamper with the name.
 Today there is swing towards Empire and swing away from closer relations with the United Staes Some people interpret this to be move toward all the snobbery and nonsense that goes with the older system, but they are mistaken Canadian people do not want that sort of thing They are well satisfied with being Dominion in a great commonwealth rather than Kingdom in Empire.
 While this is only play on words, there something behind it all which is more than words For a democracy the democratic names fit best so let us stock to the old name Dominion" and not copy the outgrown civilization of Europe where they too are moving away from Kingdoms towards Commonweaths.
