The time has come for the queen

people Of Canada.
You have given us welcome
Of which the memory will always
be dear to us. In our travels
across your great country, We have
seen not a little Of its infinite
variety Of natural wealth and
natural beauty. We have had the
privilege of meeting Canadians,
old and young. Of many proud
racial origins and in all walks Of
life. We hope we have made many
friends among you.
We have had the opportunity,
also. of crossing your border and
paying an all too brief visit to
Canada's great and friendly neigh
Dor to the south. Our minds and
hearts are full. We leave your
shores after some Of the most in
spring and Illuminating weeks In
our lives.
Then the king spoke in
French.-Ed.)
My first duty is to thank you
all from the bottom Of my heart.
In a very short time you have
enabled us to see many things. We
have to thank you not only for
your personal kindness. but for
the perfection Of your arrange
ments. must say ! think we
have almost performed miracle
In surmounting the many diff
culties presented by covering so
vast a space in so limited a time.

English.-Ed.)

sense of the resources and Of the
responsibilities Of our British en-
pire. ! am confident that Canada
has before her development far
beyond the most optimistic dreams
of her pioneers. Her growth in
material wealth Is fully assured
For her sons and daughters.
wish her an even greater growth
IN the stature Of mind and spirit.

which u 4 comfort and an in
spiration. From the. Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the tropics
to the arctic. lies a large part of
the earth where there Is no possi-
bility of war between neighbors,
whose peoples arc wholly dedicated
to the pursuits OF peace, a pattern
to all men of how civilized nations
should live together. 1t is good
to know that such a region exists,
for what man can do once he can
do again. BY Gods grace yours

the world will follow.
Following Is the text Of Queen

all. and thanking you for the
wealth Of affection that you have
offered US throughout these un-
forgettable weeks.
Seeing this great country, with
all its varied beauty and interest
has been a real delight TO me;
but what has warmed my heart In
q way / cannot express in words
In the proof you have given u'
everywhere that you were glad tc
see US. And in return, ! want
particularly to tell the women anc
children Of Canada how glad
am to have seen so many Of them
Some, ] know, came scores o.
