OBJECT LESSON
TO UNIVERSE ON
OURJRONTIER
NEW YORK, March 17.—One hun
dred years of peace between Canada
and the United States has been in
great measure the outcome of the
Rush-Bagot agreement of 1K17, limit
ing armament on the (Treat Lakes, in
the opinion of both Sir Charles Fitz
patrick, chief justice of the supreme
court and deputy governor general of
Canada, and Sir Edmund Walker,
chairman of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, who spoke at a luncheon
of the Lawyers’ club in this city to
day.
“It would be hard to overrate the
blessing that agreement has been to
both countries,” the chief justice said.
“It has been the keynote of their
policy of peace for a hundred years
and at the same time has happily in
•lueiv rd the idea of good govt mm r>ts
town ds the whole guest ion of fortifi
cations. And wha; in object lesson
has been here for the rest of the civi
lized world. The longest frontier on
the earth’s surface has at the same
time been the most defenseless and
the most safe.
“If there had been the slightest dis
position to bad faith on either side,”1
he said “the Rush-Bagot agreement
would have broken down a score of
times.”
Sir Edmund Walker asserle 1 that
the agreement transformed the lakes
from a “diving line between two em
bittered peoples into the greatest
agency of peace and industry in the
whole world.
“While the conditions which make
for peace and prevent war were se
cured so early in our history,” he said,
“many other things have helped to
hind us together, so completely that
even our differences are respected and
the fact that two great democracies
are trying social experimnets, some
times along widely separated lines, is
more apt to excite mutual respect and
interest than animosity.”
--A
Solomon could afford to say that a
“pood name is better than great
riches,” because he was a millionaire.
