Ing. Chairman, Members of the Y's Men's Clus—Ladies and Gentlr-
Your ideals are, I think, epitome three words, Comradeship, Cooperation and Character, all which ave essential and all' of which find " prominent place in" your Charter. Comradeship. denotes a feeling akin to and as strong protierhood, it means that you will stand together, and. work together, when to this you add co-opera mn, which presupposes. working with others outside your immediate eirelé, you have a combination which feannet but have a tremendous effect Zot only upon your country nationally, but upon her relations with peo-piles of other countries. After all we are one family and, no matter to What nation we belong, we should he! seorking with the same purpose and there ly no reason Why we should not be comrades, ready and willing to work together for the benefit all. 'This we can do if we meet each: other naturally, not as different pecples but as comrades, appreciating each other's diffeulties and. mutual-ready' to assist one another.
Social intercourse is a means fan end, the moans, friendship, the fend, service, unselfish service to our friends, our countries and to. all hone with whom we come in contact, With this ideal before us the bar-due to misunderstanding, which at times separate us will melt away, T have spoken of Comradeship and Ca-operation and have left tie most important for the last, Of ull the. three C's mentioned Character the all important, without Cha acter neither Gomradeship nor Cooperation are possible, Even Giceto realized this eternal truth for he sai cannot Yes, Friendship can only exist, between the true. Character which Truth is the foundation of all that is enduring in the individual the nation, Truth in the individual nation begets trust and eliminates fear. There is then no mistrust or misunderstanding.
'The times are dificult, not only tu China but throughout the world High ideas and lofty aspirations ate necessary' and these can be suD-plied only by men of character and hen of character were never more needed than nov.
Your Club and the Club I have the honour to represent, the Union Club, have the same ideals and the same purposes and I therefore hope that Bs comrades we may be able to accomplish much, learning from each ther, and cementing the bonds of fellowship.
Mr. Marshall then offered the toast of the Y's Men's Club, which received hearty response.
