Those of ! who are aw awe ilo not take it sen- ui-ly. And those who are aware of the sentiment of Canada do not expect the issue of aunevation to the United .States to enter the realm of practical t politics during tlieir lifetime. The Canadian negotiations for estab lishing an embasy in Washington are sufficient indication of the feeling across the border. The Canadians properly regard themselves as llie citi.ens of n great nation witli n splendid future. The I'cncc Conference recognized their nationality when It piovidcd for their representation m .the assembly of, the League or Nations, nlon and Italy and .Inpiin. with France Their troops lought in the great war in the armies of an independent nation, just as imle- pendent ns the I'nited States, The war has aroused the national feeling in all the Itritish colonic-, and the mother country i fostering that feeling. It has not only raised no ob- jectiou to the Canadian plan to send a minister to Vashington. but it bus ap proved it. aware that Australia. New Zealand and South Africa may desire to follow the precedent et by Canada. What (ffeit the growth of national feeling in the colonies is to have on the P.ritish empire no one can foretell. The colonial policy of London used to be based on the theory that it was the duty of the home government to train the colonies in the nrts of self-government. o thnt when the ,tim.c came for them to assert their independence they would be qualified to innnagc their own uffuir-. It was a policy similar to t lint which the Tinted States is now follow- ' ing in the Philippines ! Put .losejili Chninberlniu as colonial, secretary changed all that. He set out to hind the colonies to the mother oun- ! try in order to pave the way for u great fi deration of states.

Now we are confronted by one of those curious historical paradoxes pro- tluccd by events, because the war in which the (olonirs fought for the pres ervation of the empire has stirred the national feeling ns it was never stirred before.

Despite the amiable efforts of the legend makers, we cannot "see" the corporeal Shakespeare in tin- Kli.abcthiiu nnd .Incohcnn setting. His triumph, bis 'iid and inextiiiguishablc conquest is spiritual. Hie debt to this immanent in ing pres ent c is so profound, so much the result of the infiltration of his thought, his moral standards, his estimation of human diameter values on our con sciousness and those of our ancestors through more than three nud a half centuries, that to celebrate Shakespeare is in n sense to celebrate the mental complexion ofthe entire English-speaking world.
