Previous to his arrival here, Canadians knew John Buchan by his books, and it was not long before they began to know him, as he travelled the length and breadth of the land-in his endeavors to obtain first hand knowledge of them and their problems. He came amongst them as plain John Buchan, aiid"̂ they loved him for it. ̂ ' . Just now,,when Canada is at the beginning of the greatest war okall time and we are not as united as we might be on how our war efforts should be conducted, it is little short of a' calamity that he should have been taken from us.

Liberty of sp^ch and action within the law are the two bases on which British democracy rests. For these things our forefathers fought-and died through the centuries until they had wrested them^from^he; central authority. Unfortunately, however, in this imperfect world-the use of every good thing can be abused and frequently is to that 'point where evil, results follow. It has been so true of liberty that there has come down to us an old sav^ that too much liberty may become licence. It is t̂he duty and privilege of every citizen in a democracy -Mch as ours,-as it is of a free press, to discuss the pros and; cons of every measure affecting the life of the . people. This extends even to-whether__or ho the country should bcome, in-, volved in war. But, , after war has once been .declared, the con­ duct of it remains still a matter for-discussion, but notThe- entry pf the country into war, if for no other rfeasoii that it can accomplish no good aaid may on the other hand do con­ siderable harm. ■ ■ There have been_jnstances lately in several parts of our nipire where such public objection has been taken.
