IVhat It Means To Be And To HaveA Pal

The day before yesterday a lady mildly suggested over the phone that she preferred to be called a. “aubcriber” or “contributor” rather than a Santa Pal. After it was ex- plained t0 her the difference between a cold, cal- culating, businesslike subscriber or contributor, and a true, devoted leal~hearted Pal, she relented and said she would henceforth be proud to be known as a Pal.

A Pa] is a person who is for you always, under any suspicions.

lle never lnvetlgates you.

He likes you just as you are-he does not alter you.

Whatever kind of coat you are wearing, whether you have on a dress suit or overalls, he thinks you ﬁne.

He likes your moods, and enjoys your pessimism as much as your optimism. y

He likes your success, and your failure endears him more. ,

A pal is better than a lover because he is never jealous.

lle wants nothing from you except that you be your- self. '

He is the one being with whom you can feel safe. With him you utter your heart, its badness, and its goodness. You don’t have to be careful.

In his presence you can be discreet, which means you can rest from the world outside.

There are many faithful wives and husbands; there are not so many pals. ~

The friendship of the pal is the most admirable, amazing and rare article among human beings.

Anybody stands by you when you are right; stands by you even when you are wrong. ,

Ildke the shade of a great rock in the stormy blast is a pa .

Like the home port, with your country’s flag flying, af- ter long journeys is’ a pal.

A p111 is an impregnable citadel of refuge in the strife 0f existence.

It is your pal that keeps alive your faith in human nature, that makes you believe that it is worthwhile living.

A Dal is the antidote to despair, the elixir of hopc, the ionic of-depression, the medicine to cure suicidal ten- dcncies.

I You give to your pal without reluctance-and borrow from him without embarrassment.

When you are vigorous and spirited you like to take your pleasures with him; when you are sick, you want to S" I111"? ‘V1191! Y0“ are dying you want him near.

A pnl is the summurn bonum of life.

A Santa Pal is all that and more. Also—he is the em- bodiment of the Chrisimas Spirit of goodwill towards lit- tlc ottcs Santa Claus may forget.

Our 11st of little ones is increasing n1ucl1 more rapid- ly than our list of Pals. Won’t you respond today?

Greater Co-ordination Between Provinces and Dominion Sought on Financial Matters.

OTTAWA, Dec. 8—(@)—Opera- tions of the Bank of Canada with particular recrence to its rtfaticns with the provinces, coupled with a discussion of interest rates, occupied the National Finance Committee sessions today. Only a. brief state- ment was made public at the close of the private session this after- noon.

The official communique aald the committee "continued its discussion of the services that could 11o render- ed by the Bank of Canada to pro- vincial governments, and of the posslbilltfes of a greater degree of oo-orvdmation in governmental bor- rowing in Canada.

"The committee also discussed the question of interest rates and ap- pointed a. sub-committee to cnsid- er th's question and report back to the conference.”

Opened this morning under the chairmanship of Finance Minister Charles Dunning whose idea of placing governmental borrowing and Dominion-Provincial financial relations on a sound bitslness bas- ls brought about formation of the committee, the conference was at- tended by more than 50 Govern- ment ministers and officials.

Those present included every pro- vinc’al prime minister clcept Prem- ier Hepburn of Ontcrb. Federal ministers attending in addition to Mr. Dunning included Revenue Min- ister Rogers. Defence Minister Mac- kenz’e. Fisheries Minister Mfchaud and Hon. T. A. Crcrar lidlnister of Mines and Remurces.

It was understood considerable argument. vms advanced in favor of interest rate, rc-vlslm downward and tlmt there were protests from some of the provinces, against al- leged discrimination.

It was stated unoffically m sec- tional problems had been rfised and that arguments advanced from certain quarters in favor of making the Bank cf Canada. morz- useful t1 the provinces 1n we“ of prwidng credit at a low and uni'orm interest rate received gz-nerel supporf. Prom most of the provinces rnd from Finance Mirister Dunnin! came reports of ri=1ng revenue: and improved economic conrliiiﬁm but a less enccurngng pictrr: of the re- lief problem.

LONDON, Dec. 9—In the Prime Minis- *er’s room in the House of Commons the cab- inet met tonight for the last act in the tragedy of the King. ,

Tomorrow Prime lilinister Baldwin will announce His Majesty’s decision to Parlia- ment. The King has not yet token any irre- vocable step. He has still to make the final choice.

But all the signs point to abdication with‘ the accession of the Duke of York under the title of King George VI.

Arou11d the Houses of Parliament few members have any hope left that the King will renounce his projected marriage to Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson. Abdication, unless there is a chance in the last hours, is regret- fully accepted as almost inevitable.

PRESS VIEW ‘

The British Press Association said: “While it must not be assumed abdication already has been decided upon, l great majority of members of ull parties have with the l"! most reluctance and regret come to the conclusion that that step is foreshadowed by the ivcud of events."

In ihc-House today the Prime Minister said “I regret I 11m not in a position to udd anything today, but I hope in make a statement tomorrow."

Government whips asked all members of Parliament to cancel engagements which would take them out of London-

PRO FOU N I) TRAGEDY

lf the King abdicates, the reign, which opened ll monthl ago in unparalleled promise, will end in profound tragedy.

Never before in England has 11 monarch voluntarily ab- dicated.

Only 324 days have passed since Edward Vlll ascended the Throne. ‘

At the first. Privy Council he attended as King, Edward declared “When my father stood hero 26 yours ago he declared that one of ihc objects of his life would 11c to up- nold constitutional government. in this l 11m determined i0 follow 111 my father's footsteps and work as he did throughout his life for the happiness and welfare of all classes of my subjects."

ACCESSION CUFNCII.

Announcement 0f the abdication would 11c followed by ihc summoning of ihc Accession Council, to which repre- sentatives of ihc Dominiuns would be invited.

The new King would tulle the oath and be proclaimed throughout the Empire.

Legislation would be needed in the parliaments o1 Great Britain. Canada, Australia, South Africa. New Zen land, the Irish Free State and Southern Rhodesia.

The legislation would have :1 three-fold purpose: (1) To conﬁrm ihc accession of the new King; (2) To bar any issue of Edward Vlll and Mrs. Simpson from succession to the Throne; (3) To relieve Edward Vlll of any disabil- ities under the royal marriages uei.
