Island. described the occasion as one of “hands across the bcrder." and said they were "not empty hands. but ands. thank God. of hope. symps hy and helpfulness for u"

Mayor La Guaadia, of New York. president of the conference. and nead of the United states sectionof the Canada-United States Defence Board, headed. zi group of Eastern United States officials attending the meeting.

Following is the text of Mia u! Holmarrs address at the somer- once:-

‘Mr. President, Members of the Regional Conference of Mayors. Distinguished Guests:

"You will please to express acknowl preciation of the high honor and proud priviiege derived through your kind invitation to attend this important conference.

"In time of stress your northern neighbors regard it as of special siunificnnce and as a when of full- est friendship. We recall with happy remembrance. sir, your visit along with some oi your colleagues to our Ottawa gniliminu last. year. and ll(‘l‘(’l)V boar grateful recognition of the national stimulus and encour- agement received from your ringing and eloquent words.

"It is s. dav oi hands across the seas. and hands across the border. These hands are not those of ne- ecption and destruction. not empty hands. but hands, thank God. of hope, sympathy and helpfulness to us. Already vou have shown your Canadian visitors such gracious oourtcsies and unlimited kindnessra as shall forever linger in our mem- ories and command the Gratitude of those whom “e 10m‘ sent.

“llicrc arc many .0 binding to- gether our countries. In your land aro hundreds oi thousands of Can- adians who have migrated to the United States. and with their des- cendants have become. I believe, loyal and acceptable citizens of V011!‘ great country.

"Even more important, perhaps. than the kinship of- blood. is that of the spirit. What n parallelism of spirit there is! Both countries are lovers of liberty, are jealous n‘ their freedom. have like culturrl backgrounds. cherish their religious beicfs of whatever t pe. boast similar ideals. aspira- tons and hopes. enioy the Mime standards of life. Thus the bonds of racial origins, and the posses- sions and longing-s of the soulmuke of us not only friendly ncltflibtirs, but indccd brothers in our way of life.

A Holy Crusade . .

"This manner of life is precious to us. We intend to preserve lt- T0 do so. in common with other mem- bers of the British Commonwerfth of Nations we have taken up arms in :1 holy crusade. From ocean to ocean, from t-he North Polo to our common border. our citirens inhigl-i resolve are putting forth every ef- fort to maintain our cherished lib-

spoiled peoples. In our army. abroad and at home. in our naval activities. in our great air training scheme. in |striking industrial expansion. 1n ‘labor co-opcration. in increased ag- ricultural production. in peT-SOIIB-l sacrifice, in cheerful payment 0f vastly augmented taxation our people are displaying a 811m and general determination t0 8'0 to the limit of our resouwes. , "Your general theme of civic aid in national defence is most appro- priate. In our land every aid from cities and towns is being cheerfully given our national government. My own city, for example, owned a modern commercialalrport- M U26 outbreak of war this was immedi- stely offered to and accepted by the government, who. through exten- sions have a most modern tiralning centre for 1,500 airmen. _ "More important, perhaps. W111 be the post-war days. Apprehensions and gloomv predictions are voiced. surelv there will be enough roads to be built. enough canals to dug, enough harbors to be dccben- ed. enough slums to be cleared. enough brains to maintain our so- cial and economic status. to con- tinue ior our people a high stand- ard of living during the transition

period.

"For myself. this occasion is one of especial honor. coming as I do from the smallest cnpitab-Char- lottetown-of the smallest Canadian province — Prince Fxiward Island- Representetives at this conference from border and Eastern States Wlll know that within their borders are scores of thousands of American! who had their oriizin in my W0- vince-Prince Edward Island. the unrivalled vacation land.
