If we had heard the criticisms of his po- litical opponents discussed locally and also read news-! papers in Australia, if they have them similar to some of' those published in Vancouver, we might doubt as to his greatness just as many people doubt the greatness of our.

All have personal weaknesses and political weaknesses. But these are days when leaders are tried as by fire and those who come through that trial are pretty good material.
