When Archbishop Ireland led Mr. Barrett forward the vast audience rose as one to meet them. After read- ing in rather a perfunctory manner a few paragraphs of a set lecture, Mr. Barrett threw his manuscript aside and launched with fervor into a bril- liant exposition of his subject, "Amer- ica and Her Sister Americas." Flor an hour and a half he poured forth a tor- rent of eloquence working to the climax of urging the North American people to stand by their "Sister Americas" in the south. He urged his audience to stand by their president and not to demand lnterventfon of Mexico. "Armed Intervention in Mexico," he •aid, "would In a moment bring the greatest disaster in American history. It would mean almost . interminable war and at what cost?

Its philosophy seems sound and finds ample support in the history at European nations during the past can* tury. There we find In numerous in- stances that the battle of nationhood was fought around the language; and achieved victory by the revival and development of the nation's language. We need but mention a few: Ger- many and Denmark and Belgium have won through the culture of native speech. Bohemia and Poland have re- sisted absorption and preserved their national Identity through the preser- vation of their languages. Hungary and South Africa will be as Independ- ent as they please, because they re- sisted the invasion of foreign lan- guages. While all recognize that the prevalence of French or English civil- ization in Canada depends on the pre- valence of one or other language— hence the bitter and jealous warfare waged along the line of language. An- other fact worthy of note which points In the same direction. The United States of America is a country self- governed in the most liberal sense of that word; and there has been more bitter hostility between this country and England than between us and any other nation. While the per centage of our population that are of English birth or descent is Insignificant in comparison with the numbers that owe origin or ancestry to other na- tions. Yet how explain the dispro- portionate English influence, mani- fested especially In our public press and our universities? The answer is obvious: The language rules us. Reason itself supports these lessons of experience and demonstrates the soundness of the principle that In- spires the language movement. For the language of a nation Is the crer ation of the nation's soul, the natural mold of its thoughts, the reflex of Its mind and character, the shrine of Its past glories, the expression of - Its ideals and aspirations and the depos- itory and custodian of literature and I civilization.

such means, fundamental and Indi­spensable.

Its philosophy seems sound and finds ample support in the history at European nations during the past can* tury. There we find In numerous in­stances that the battle of nationhood was fought around the language; and achieved victory by the revival and development of the nation's language. We need but mention a few: Ger­many and Denmark and Belgium have won through the culture of native speech. Bohemia and Poland have re­sisted absorption and preserved their national Identity through the preser­vation of their languages. Hungary and South Africa will be as Independ­ent as they please, because they re­sisted the invasion of foreign lan­guages. While all recognize that the prevalence of French or English civil­ization in Canada depends on the pre­valence of one or other language— hence the bitter and jealous warfare waged along the line of language. An­other fact worthy of note which points In the same direction. The United States of America is a country self-governed in the most liberal sense of that word; and there has been more bitter hostility between this country and England than between us and any other nation. While the per centage of our population that are of English birth or descent is Insignificant in comparison with the numbers that owe origin or ancestry to other na­tions. Yet how explain the dispro­portionate English influence, mani­fested especially In our public press and our universities? The answer is obvious: The language rules us.

Reason itself supports these lessons of experience and demonstrates the soundness of the principle that In­spires the language movement. For the language of a nation Is the crer ation of the nation's soul, the natural mold of its thoughts, the reflex of Its mind and character, the shrine of Its past glories, the expression of - Its ideals and aspirations and the depos­itory and custodian of literature and

I civilization. Allow the language to
