Headquarters: 50 Church Street, New York I — Foreword THE movement adequately and prop- perly to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the Ghent Treaty in 191 5, which began informally in 1906, assumed a public status on February 20th, 1910, through the organization of the American Com- mittee for the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of Peace Among English-Speaking Peoples. As was announced on the day the National Committee was organized, it is the plan of the American Committee, in conformity with the formally-expressed sentiment of the International Confer- ence held in New York, May 5-10, 1913, also properly and adequately to celebrate the century of peace between America and France, Germany, Norway, Swe- den, Holland, and the other great na- tions of the world with which we have never engaged in war. The celebration movement derive? its inspiration and impetus from the fact that, for one hundred years, all disputed questions between America and Great Britain, and, with two exceptions, be- tween America and the other nations of the world, have been settled one by one by means of diplomacy, or arbitration. This achievement is all the more striking when there is taken into consideration the unfortified frontier of 3,840 miles which separates the United States from its Northern neighbor and friend Canada. It is natural, therefore, that there should spontaneously have grown up a desire in America and throughout the British Empire to celebrate this century of peace between two peoples who are kindred in language, law, and institutions. And it was but natural, too, that it should have — mutually occurred to the celebration coniniittees of America aiul the liritish Empire that there should be recogmzetl in some signal and fitting way the peace which has existed as between the Re- public and the Empire, and Germany, France and other nations. It should be said once and for all in response to the misstatements which are being made with reference to the cele- bration, that the committees represent- ing the movement are engaged in no purpose other than that which appears in this pamphlet and other formal docu- ments, and that any other statement is an unqualified and malicious perversion of facts. Equally untrue is any assertion that the Committee represents any [per- son or organization other than itself and its own members. The influence of the Committee is being exerted towards securing the high- est artistic character possible for the monuments which will be erected com- memorating the anniversary. It is de- sired that all American memorials shall, in sentiment and purpose, be less a com- memoration of the past than covenants for the future of present amity and good- will to all mankind It has been said in very truth that The celebration of this anniversary ofifers the best opportunity our age will see for the cultivation of w'orld-wide good-will. The headquarters of the American Committee are at 50 Church Street. New York, where the work of the National Committee is being done through a sub- Executive Committee. John A. Stewart, Chairman. All matters concerning State and local celebrations are in the hands of State and City committees. THE American Committee appeals, (in the light of the unusually drastic provisions which have been made for safeguarding expenditures) for funds which are needed in the carrying out of the National and International pro- gram. Contributions may be sent to Mr. Cor- nelius A^'anderbilt, Chairman Finance Com- mittee, 30 Pine Street, New York, or to the Treasurer, Mr. James L. Wand- ling. Treasurer of the New York Savings Bank, Eighth Avenue and 14th Street, Nev/ York, or in care of J. P. Morgan & Co., Depository, New- York. Plan and Purpose of Movement to Celebrate the One Hundredth Anniversary of Peace Among English Speaking Peoples 1814-'15— 1914-'15 (From Address of Mr. Andrew B. Humphrey) (Mohonk Conference, May, 191 1, Revised) IT is significant that the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on Christmas Eve, 1814, was not brought about by the Commissioners assigned to that duty, for after they had been in conference for nearly six months the two Nations them- selves, forced by a strong pubHc senti- ment among the peoples of both coun- tries demanding peace, directed the Commissioners to conclude a peace pact regardless of the prior claims set forth by the Commissioners and their respect- ive governments. Thus the Ghent treaty was concluded without reference to the issues which brought on the war. The treaty was forced by public sentiment and is a monument to that greater force than war—irresistible public opinion. This same force of public opinion has maintained peace for a century regard- less of treaties and despite the failure of treaties, and has brought about the elim- ination of substantially all the serious causes of irritation between the two countries. The idea of celebrating the century of peace seems to have occurred sponta- neously to many people, and without co- operation. It was first discussed during the administration of former President Roosevelt, and it is probably true tliat through President Roosevelt, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, former Minister MacKenzie King, of Canada. Mr. John A. Stewart. of New York, and the support of the Lake Mohonk Peace Conference, the project of a celebration took organized and definite form. Minister King in an address at the Harvard Commencement of 1909 and again at Lake Mohonk in 1910, urged a celebration of the event. In February, 1910, Mr. Stewart called a meeting in New York City of repre- sentatives of various business, religious and professional organizations, at which a preliminary committee was organized. This committee in turn called a general meeting, which organized The National Committee for the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of Peace Among English-Speaking Peoples. The Committee chose former Pres- ident Roosevelt for the Honorary Chair- manship and Mr. Andrew Carnegie as Chairman. Their acceptances, as well as those of former Vice-President Fair- banks for the position of Honorary Chairman of the Executive Committee, and of former Vice-Presidents Levi P. Morton and Adlai E. Stevenson, Senator Elihu Root, Mr. William Jennings Bryan, Mr. Alton B. Parker, and former Am- bassador Joseph H. Choate of positions as Honorary Vice-Chairmen, signalized the launching of the movement, and the perfecting of a permanent organization. The membership of the National Com- mittee is rapidly approaching ten thou- sand. Since the essential work of organiza- tion was completed and a full corps of officers and committees was elected, the National Committee has been at work in the development of a definite program.* * In accord with the original plan an "In- ternational Conference" convened in New York City during the week of May 4th, 191 3, and agreed upon a tentative program for the celebration of the Ghent Treaty. In this conference, delegates were present from Great Britain, Canada, Australia. Newfoundland and the United States. His Majesty, the King of England, gave direct sanction to the move- ment, and the President of the United States welcomed the delegates and approved the general plan of the celebration. The proceed- ings of this conference have been published by the Committee in a separate_ pamphlet, which may be had upon application to the Committee at 50 Church Street, New York. — There is every promise aiul expecta- tion that all the leading nations of the world will, in some appropriate manner, and through their own initiative, take such action as will indicate their interest in, and approval of, the event.

  • The Honourable Horace Harvey, Chief Justice of Alberta
    VOL . XXXII NOVEMBER 1954 No . 9 The Honourable Horace Harvey, Chief Justice of Alberta WILBUR F. BOWKER* Edmonton "Who is going to run this country, the Chief Justice or the Govern- ment?" On July 11th, 1918, an army officer named Major R. B. Eaton put this question to John McCaffary, a deputy sherif. McCaffary had come to Victoria Barracks at Calgary to execute a writ of attachment against Lieutenant-Colonel Philip Moore for declining to obey an order by way of habeas corpus that directed him to bring before the Supreme Court of Alberta twenty con- scripts in his battalion. Colonel Moore had been told by his mili- tary superiors at Ottawa to absent himself and the deputy sheriff had been unable to find him. Major Eaton's rhetorical question was really an accusation that Horace Harvey, Chief Justice of Alberta, was trying to obstruct the Canadian government in its prosecution of the war. This incident requires explanation. In the early years of the First Great War Canada's military forces were raised entirely by voluntary enlistment . By August 1917 the government had decid ed that conscription was necessary and asked Parliament to pass the Military Service Act, which provided for conscription, but exempted persons in essential occupations. By the spring of 1918 *Wilbur Fee Bowker, Q.C., B.A., LL.B. (Alta.), LL.M. (Minnesota), Dean, Faculty of Law, University of Alberta. 934 THE CANADIAN BAR REVIEW [VOL . XXXII it had become apparent that reinforcements were still inadequate . The cabinet could have asked Parliament to ~ mend the Military Service Act by removing the exemptions, but instead in April 1918, while Parliament was in session, the Governor in Council made two orders in council under the War Measures Act, which gives the Governor in Council wide powers to make orders m the inter- est of national safety during war.

  • The Anglican Pattern of Episcopacy Churchman 62/2 1948
    The Anglican Pattern of Episcopacy Churchman 62/2 1948 The Right Rev. J. W. Hunkin The clearest and most convincing statement of the distinctively Anglican tradition with regard to Episcopacy that I have ever seen is contained in a booklet just published by the Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, Dr. Norman Sykes, the full title of which runs as follows: The Church of England and Non-Episcopal Churches in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries—An Essay towards an Historical Interpretation of the Anglican Tradition from Whitgift to Wake.1 In this paper I shall draw freely upon this invaluable essay, and I would strongly recommend every reader interested in the subject to obtain a copy and keep it as the definitive summing up of the historical Anglican position. The chief of the relevant Anglican formularies are found in the Preface to the Ordinal, and Articles XIX, XXIII and XXXVI of the Thirty-nine. The Preface to the Ordinal. I quote the wording of the first edition (1550): “It is evident unto all men, diligently reading Holy Scripture and ancient authors, that from the Apostles’ time there hath been these orders of Ministers in Christ’s Church: Bishops, Priests, and Deacons: which offices were evermore had in such reverent estimation, that no man by his own private authority might presume to execute any of them, except he were first called, tried, examined, and known to have such qualities as were requisite for the same; and also, by public prayer, with imposition of hands, approved and admitted thereunto. And therefore, to the intent that these orders should be continued and reverently used, and esteemed, in this Church of England; it is requisite that no man (not being at this present Bishop, Priest, nor Deacon) shall execute any of them, except he be called, tried, examined, and admitted according to the form hereafter following.” This paragraph was repeated almost word for word in the Prefaces of 1552 and 1662.

  • “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890S–1950S1
    Jatinder Mann “Anglo-Conformity”: Assimilation Policy in Canada, 1890s–1950s1 Abstract In the late nineteenth century Canada started to receive large waves of non- British migrants for the very first time in its history. These new settlers arrived in a country that saw itself very much as a British society. English-speaking Canadians considered themselves a core part of a worldwide British race. French Canadians, however, were obviously excluded from this ethnic identity. The maintenance of the country as a white society was also an integral part of English-speaking Canada’s national identity. Thus, white non-British migrants were required to assimilate into this English-speaking Canadian or Anglocen- tric society without delay. But in the early 1950s the British identity of English- speaking Canada began to decline ever so slowly. The first steps toward the gradual breakdown of the White Canada policy also occurred at this time. This had a corresponding weakening effect on the assimilation policy adopted toward non-British migrants, which was based on Anglo-conformity. Résumé À la fin du 19e siècle, pour la première fois de son histoire, le Canada commençait à accueillir des vagues importantes d’immigrants non britanni- ques. Ces nouveaux arrivants entraient dans un pays qui se percevait en grande partie comme une société britannique.
