A Boom for New Brunswi Misconceptions of China — Fuox Our OWN Connesroxnext

Montreal, Aug. 18.

Within less than three weeks after his arrive! here, Mr. Stanley Baldwin has sailed away from Canada, to resume his duties in the Home: land. The visit of Britain's Prime Minister to Canada could not in any way be regarded as a holiday, by. himself or by others, yet, if" his time was fully occupied while he was here, he has carried away with him much that should be of help him as he sets his fnce to tasks in the Out Land. Mr, Baldwin has visited every large city in Canada, with the exception of Vancouver, and during port of the time he was ac-[companied by the Prince of Wal and Prince George. Ie knew sore thing of the hospitality of, Canadians from his previous visit hare, and from his own knowledge of the people, but he was almost overcome by the cordiality of the welcome he received in every part of His farewell speech ivered in the city o St, John, New Brunswick, the United, Empire Loyalist province, and the home of Andrew Bonar' Law, £0 that Mr, Baldwin felt a deep sonal interest in the experience of his Inst day in Canada. He sailed for Home yesterday on the Empress of Scotland.

In the reports of members of Mr, Baldwin's stof, he is to have Leen most impressed Canada's actual act by her wonderfully opti spirit, and by her loyalty to the Mother, Country. Among the official ceremonies in which he took part, the tone that will remain most firmly imprinted on Mr. Baldwin's memory the one at which he assisted at the opening of the International Peace Bridge, between Canada and the United States. He regards this bridge as a visible proof of the lasting friendship between the Empire jand the United States, and he has had a new vision of the part which Canada has played and is playing in Anglo-American friendship, which must be the cornerstone of world peace.
