When Politics Were Forgotten

Writing in the Saturday, July 15, issue of the Toronto Globe and .\[ail, the wcll-known l‘llS- torian, Mr. Fred \\'illiams, says:

“I wonder wltctltcr any of the speakers at Charlottetown on ;\londay will remember that

,_ the man who first proposed that conference: ‘and who dominated it, was Dr. Charles TUPPCTF How mzmv Canadians of this gcncratlﬂn are familiar with the historic speech made by. Dr. Tuppcr at Saint John in 1860 on “The Political Condition of llritish North ;\mcric3," in which he drcw a picture of a British Dominion from Atlantic to Pacific and pI‘0p055d that thﬂe should be no needless (lt-lzty? It is such a master- ly speech that it should be included 1n the Con- fcdcrzttiott Documents. Four years later, In 1854. when he was Premier of Nova Scotia, Dr. Tup- per immducod alltl carried a rcsolution in fav- or of a le,'.{isl.'lli\'e union of the Maritime Prov- inces, explaining that he rc-gardcd it as a step in the direction of a wider union_ Invitations we"; sent to the «".uv.~rnnienls of New Bruns- wick and Prince lillivztrd Island. both of which accepted, and it wa: :15,-i'ee(l that the conference should be hold at tflizirlottctown on Sept. 1. Dr. Tuppcr was so clot-.»rniine(l that party politics should play no part that the first man he in- vited to attend was Hon. Joseph Howe, but the great Nova Scotian Reformer declined on the ground that he was a fisheries officer in the em- ploy of the Imperial Government, and could ll-‘it then “meddle in politics”. He promised, 'how- ever, that he would do all in his power to sup-

" port any action that might be taken at Char- lottetown.

“Mezmwhile the Muulonald-Brown coalition, ‘under Sir P. Tache, had been formed in the Province of Canada. When news of the propos- ed meeting at Charlottetown reached Quebec, the Ministry asked the Governor-General to inquire of the three 1‘rovinci:1l Licutctiatit-Governors whether the Charlottetown conference would rr-- ceive a delegation from the Canadian Govern- ment which wished to express its views upon the wider union_ _All three sent affirmative replies."

Mr. Williams outlines briefly the outcome of the Conference and concludes:

' "Unless Mr. Hitler has a brainstorm there sccms every likelihood that the Dominion will be in the throes of a general election on the seventy- fifth anniversary of the Quebec Conference.

' Perhaps we shall hear appeals for a new Cana-

ian unity, for a cessation of the strife between ' ininion and Provinces now so apparent, and for a return to that spirit of compromise which in x864 brought about Confederation. When the elections are over end the will of the people re- corded, what a great thing it would be if the his-

‘ torium of the future could say of the Cana- dians of 1939 what is inscribed on the tablet in the Confederation Chamber at Charlottetown: _'~nna.lnm.uanlnaorutea.e1emuvho

The British Columbia Law Society has turned down—for this year at leést—a. proposal which would in effect, demand abolition of appeals to the Privy Council. The proposal was in the form of 9. resolution submitted to the ‘annual cott- vention recently by H. R. Bray and seconded by E. V. Findland, Conservative member of the Provincial Legislature for Esquimalt. It rc- commendcd the Supreme Court of Canada be constituted an appellate court with general appel- late jurisdiction in both civil and criminal mat- ter:.’The resolution was laid over until next meeting. ‘
