GRAVE MOMENT
IN HISTORY' OF EMPIRE ADDRESS BY CANADIAN GOVERNOR-GENERAL. DEFENCE OF SPIRITUAL VALUES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) OTTAWA, September' 18. Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-Gener-al, addressing the Canadian Legion, said he considered the moment as grave as any in the history of the" Empire. “It is grave,” he said, “because the war we have entered has a serious purpose, a more momentous purpose than any of the older wars we fought for security, defence of-territory, the balance of power or similar reasons. We have entered this war for the presentation of those spiritual values which alone make life worth living.”
