LORD WAI.SINGHABI l)IAKES VALUABI.E GIFT FOR OUR WAR MEMORLAL Lord Walsingham, who com- manded 8 brigade in the B.E.F. during the Great War, has just made 8 valuable and unique gift to IVcst Vancouver in the shape of some lily bulbs of the famous "Lilium Giganteum" on the ex- press condition that they be planted in the grounds of the War hlcmorial here. At his est- te of Morton Hall, Thetford, ngland, there is to be found one of the finest exhibits of lilies to be seen anywhere, and the choicest and rarest of them all is the collection of the "Lilium Gigantcum." These plants come from India, and were introduc- ed into England many years ago by Lord IValsingham'8 family, since when no bulbs have left the estate either by sale or gift. They frequently grow to a height of tcn feet and have large white blooms in beautiful proportion. Indirectly West Vancouver is indebted for this valuable gift to bfr. Blanchflower, a war vet- eran of Dundarave, who knows Lord Walsingham personally, and who was given the privilege of going over the famous gar- dens of Morton Hall. His host stated he would like to give him something to take back as a remembrance to British Col- umbia, and hc very kindly con- sented in spite of the previous inhibition to Mr. Blanchflower's request on being informed of the uso to which they would be placed. Reeve Loyland has acknow- ledged the gift and has handed them over for planting to the Duncan Lawson Chapter, I.O.D. E., who have charge of the grounds of the War Memorial. When the lilies bloom they will be undoubtedly a Mecca for all the horticulturists in the prov- ince and to many others from other parts of Canada and the United States..

Luk THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar The whole idea at the back of Mr. Smith's letter is that Can- ada and the U.S. should become one economic, if not political unit. This idea of an isolated America originated with George 1Vnshington,a wise policy in his l,ime but utterly impossible in these days of steam and elec- tricity, etc.. as the U.S., now on the ragged edge of ruin from trying it out have discovered. The British Empire contrary to Mr. Smith's dictum otfers far bigger markets than the U.S. for Canada, even without taking into consideration the U.S. habit of slapping on tariifs overnight against us whenever Canadian trade begins to get a footing in her home market, and not men- tioning the war she has conduc- ted on her allies since 1918 in the way of foreign exchange. My correspondent will be aston- ished to learn that up to 1930 British capital to the tune of two and one half billion dollars has been invested in Canada as against the U.S. total of four billions, and it is only fair to add to the British total the free Naval protection given Canada for many years and to a large extent now. Turning to the political side, Canada will never under any circumstances become a part of the U.S. Should she decide to leave the Empire, which is extremely unlikely, she would become an independ- ent nation, and I know my Canada, as strange to say, I know my American, and hc is for the most part 8 very nice kindly fellow, any hatred of Britain hc may have arising from misconceptions or false propaganda conducted by his schools and yellow press. So far as believing in "Colonial subser- vience," I would, if I had my way, have all disputes and ques- tions arising between the U.S. nnd Britain and the Empire at large handled by the Canadian minister at Washington, who would understand the Americans as no British minister can hope to do. There is no question of antagonising the U.S. for the latter themselves have gone out of their way ever since 1918 to antagonise everybody, and now in their splendid state of isola- tion and consequent near-ruin, are running round trying to patch things up and gct back to the status quo. This job has fallen on Roosevelt, 8 man I greatly admire and probably their greatest president, and, if left alone by his people, he msy yct bring it oif. I wish him luck, but he has got 8 tough job, which wss the very thing I stat- ed in other words in my original article.
