CANADA’S PART
no divided Loyalties. “Regardless of fortune or circumstance, you British seem one and all to be endowed with the same fortitude and the same spirit,” said Mr Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, in a broadcast to Britain? “Do you wonder that you have made those of us who are of' British stock increasingly proud of the race to which we belong? And this leads me to tell you why it is that we in Canada are so completely at one with you in Britain and so determined to do our utmost for victory. We are not all kith and kin, but as Canadians we are one in our love of liberty. There are no divided loyalties in Canada. For freedom to result in happiness it must be directed aright. I should like to repeat something I said at the outset of the war. If I were called upon to sacrifice out of my life all save one of the influences of the past, or of my present possessions, the one thing I would wish to retain is the influence of the Christian training of my childhood days. That has been a sheet-anchor through life.”
