THE‘ CURRIE FUNERAL

Commenting on the significance of the imprsulve ceremonies which marked the funeral of Sir Arthur Currie, the Montreal Gazette says: "from the Governor-General down. the grent assembly which filled Christ Church Cathedral to its doors and participated in the mniestic Iunersl service, and the vast crowds which massed along the route of the procession, wen actuated by s com- mon impulse of respect and a com- mon sense oi ions. There has never been another such demonstration of publ.ic and official mourning in any part oi Canada upon the death oi s Canadian citizen. it ml)’ 1101 be untimely, therefore, to analyze the springs ,of public sentiment which broadened into so remarkable an expression of reverence and mourning. It is not untimely to do this because there is a generation 'fl)flin‘ up in Canada which, of its own experience, knows nothing of what this country was called upon to endure during the four terrible years oi the World War. It Know-i nothing of the anxious strain oi those critical years, of the sacrifices which were made day by day and year by vear at home and 1n the tield; nothing oi the tragedy and the grief which was the daily lot oi the Canadian people; of the sixty thousand who went sway and did not rsturn‘. of the homes made des- olate; oi the lives that were lost and the lives that were broken. it knows nothing of national service as those know it who passed through the fire, or who, not less heroic, visited h hundreds oi thousands 0i homes throughout the Dominion for tidings that were all too often tid- ings oi domestic catastrophe. This service is recalled most vividly in the death and burial of Sir Arthur Currie, and the national tribute paid to his memory yesterday was more than personal. It was, to some ex- tent at least, the expression of s poignant memory, the memory of a great victory won by stupendous sacrifice, and it cannot but convey some meaning to those younger Canadians who, oi their good ior- tune. escaped the agony of the war gears, but who. at the same time. have no‘. had bchtrfit of the sob- q-irm atrengt ening influence of the exacting tcst to which every individual, soldier or civilian, was subjected through all the dark days between the fourth of August 1914 and the close oi the conflict four wears after."

CHRISTMAS OVERSEAS

The Travel and News Bulletin oi coming events in Great Britain and ‘Ireland gives some interesting de- tails oi Christmas celebrations. particularly in Bigland. T0 under- stand the British people at Christ- mas it is essential to read the works of Charles Dickens the novelist oi Christmas. whose descriptions are as true today as when he wroie them. Thg Christmas party at Ding- ley Dell in "Pickwick Plptfs“ is repeated in nearly every British home, although, maybe. with radio and home cinema added. The spirit oi pence and goodwill which touch- ed the heart of Scrooge still softens hard hearts and breathes happiness and friendliness. not for one day alone, but throughout Christmas- tide. in many parts of Britain strange, half-forgotten ceremomes continue, notably the IOO-yesr-old mummer plays which irks place in Hamp- shire. Going from norm to house grotesquely-clad actors per- form quaint parts handed down rcm father to son through many centuries.

FOOTNOTE T0 Hisivom/

A curious news item is contained in a recent Canadian Press cable ircm London, concerning an inquest held into the deaths oi thejPzlnces in the Tower’ immortalized in Eng- lish history and by Shakespeare. The inquest was conductedtfou." and a half centuries after thetimurder oi the Princes and the Yfiiuzls said to have confirmed the ofte doubted assertion they were muid d by ihcll’ uncle, Richard ifilzit was said also to have absolved“ from blame Henry VII who ' Richard at the Battle oi- on Aug. 22 i486. .r

A psiper read before tlglfifiBrliish Society of Antiquarics rev_' led the inquest had been conducted by Pro- fessor William Wright dean of the London Hospital who was-authoriz- ed by the dean oi Westminster to cpcn the burial urns "andfpxaniine the skeletons oi llic two princely boys, Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York" '

Professor Wright estimated the boys‘ ages at 10 and 12 years, ftom which he gathered they could not have been alive at the time‘ of the Battle cf BllSWClrtll and that there- fore Henry VII, in Franc: until tbs. crnflict, could have? had no hand in their deaths.

According to the narrative of. Sir Thomas Moore the constable. of the Tower refused to obey ,-Rlchard's command to put the you ‘ zinces to death: but he cornpli with a wan-ant ordering him to up hm keys for one night to Sir’ James Tyrell, who had arrange for the

The rder was committed most probably in A118- iist or September, _1 Horace Walpole was doubtful of -auth- eiitieity of the incident. a _ _ iverg- ent views have been expressed by suzsequent historical students. Sir c. R- Miirlrham. in “Richard in." (i909) has aigued that the dsed was committed by order oi Henry VII. Throughout the centuries. however. public opinion qhas ac- cepted Sir Thomas Moores story as substantially corect, and thetcuch- ing scenes in Shakesipcartijsflitlch- ard III" are based on the same tradition.

Rccznt reports from the Marl- iiiie Provinces have ire encouraging news that the coal in lies of Eastern Canada have hrcn operating in recent months upon a scale unequaled since Nov- cnib.r, 1939. The explanation is to be found, in large part, at least, in the figures of fuel imparts just is- sued by the Federal Department of Trade and Commerce, During the month of October, the statistics re- veal, Canodas coal imports dropp- ed 33 per cent below’ the five year average for the period. while pro- duction scored an advance of 36 per cent cvcr the September level. In view of the fact that late Oct- cber this yrar was a time oi un- seasonable winter rigour in many parts of the Dominion. which would normally be expected to in- crease our imports, the figures which the Federal department gives are significant. They indicate that Canada is steadily learning to raly upon its own fuel resources, The policy of transportation sub- ventlons with which Government has assisted the Mar-
