ALEXANDER, K.C., ~.,~", J.P., at the Annual Meeting, held February 21st, 1915. GENTLEJdE~, Meeting, as we do to-day, in eITeumstanees which are wholly without preced~nt or parallel in our own history and in the history of the world, and at a time when the desti nies of this COlmtry and of millions of our foreign co-religionists are at stake, I feel that it :is my duty, as Chairman of this Jl _meeting, to give expression to the hope-and I do so with - deep eWTIe~tness and grave emphasis-that to-clay's pro '" ~.. en" ~ ceedings will be marked by dignity, patience and restraint, 0< '" "l and that no one will allow his zeal, enthusiasm or racial ~ affection to warp or oloud his judgment or discretion.

E-< Ul Thus, it would obviously be improper-and onc is almost ~ Cl tempted to say unpatriotic-to introduce into the discussion "l 0< to-day any question in relation to thc internal politics of ..' d s 59 58 APPENDIX A.
