John
Wesley
Dafoe
.
.
.
The
removal
by
death
of
Dr.
John
Wesley
Dafoe.
editor-in-chief
of
the
Winnipeg
Free
Press,
is
indeed
a
great
loss.
In
a
newspaper
career
lasting
more
than
half
a
century
he
won
acknowledgment
as
the
greatest
journalist
Canada
produced
in
his
time.
Master
of
a
lucid
and
vigorous
style,
with
a
gift
for
phrase-makiner
and
a
mimrent
wit.
he
stored
up
an
unrivalled
knowledge
of
the
problems
of
Canada's
political
and
economic
life
and,
with
the
aid
of
a
prodigious
mem-nrv.
drew
unon
facts,
figures
and
incidents
with
which
to
support
his
arguments.
He
made
personal
contacts
with
most
of
the
leading
figures
in
the
public
life
of
the
country
over
a
period
of
50
years
and
with
many
of
them
was
on
terms
of
close
intimacy.
Throughout
his
career
he
was
in
every
sense
a
liberal,
meaning
by
that
term
that
he
was
always
prepared
to
challenge
every
artificial
privilege
and
condition
which
hindered
the
self-expression
of
the
individual.
By
many
he
was
called
a
keen
party
man
and
it
is
true
that
his
sympathies
were,
almost
all
his
life,
with
the
Liberal
party.
But
he
visited
his
most
contemptuous
wrath
upon
Liberal
politicians
whom
he
could
convict
of
betrayal
of
confidence
or
subservience
to
a
vested
interests.
j"
His
writing
on
international
affairs
and
his
vigorous
and
sustained
campaign
for
the
establishment
of
the
League
of
Nations
brought
him
honor,
distinction
and
influence.
He
often
expressed
the
view
that
only
by
collective
action
against
aggression
and
action
for
freer
trade
could
the
world
ever
attain
peace.
This
belief
carried
him
more
than
once
into
violent
opposition
with
Liberal
governments
with
which
he
was
often
otherwise
in
general
agreement.
;
In
1011
a
great
crisis
faced
Sir
Clifford
Sifton,
the
owner,
Dafoe,
the
editor,
and
the
Free
Press,
one
which
aptly
illustrated
the
perfect
relations
which
existed
between
them.
The
great
battle
of
reciprocity
with
the
United
States
loomed
up.
Dafoe
never
for
a
moment
entertained
any
doubts
of
the
beneficial
possibilities
of
reciprocity
for
Canada-but
his
friend
and
employer
took
a
different
view.
In
a
series
of
interviews
and
speeches
Sir
Clifford
denounced
the
treaty
as
perilous
to
the
national
future
and
fatal
because
of
its
dependence
upon
the
uncertainties
of
American
politics.
I
Dafoe
meanwhile
had
taken
another
line
editori-
5-!
ally
and
there
resulted
the
spectacle
of
a
great
news
paper
vigorously
advocating
a
policy
for
whose
de
feat
its
proprietor
was
exerting
all
his
energies.
Reciprocity
was
defeated
to
Sifton's
great
delight
but
jthe
issue
was
never
more
than
a
matter
of
friendly
argument
between
himself
and
Dafoe.

iAntanas
Smetona
...
To
Antanas
Smetona,
former
President
of
Lithuania,
who
is
dead
in
the
United
States,
was
due
perhaps
more
than
any
other
individual,
the
establishment
of
Lithuanian,
nationalism
and
the
birth
of
the
country
as
an
independent
republic.
For
20
years
previous,
to
the
World
War
he
had
;
icen
a
leader
in
the
movement
for
Lithuanian
inde-endence
of
Russia.
From
the
precarious
situation
nto
which
the
little
Baltic
state
was
thrown
by
events
just
before
and
after
the
close
of
the
war,
Smetona
emerged
as
a
great
national
hero.

which
the
people
were
eager
to

him.
He
was

to
the
post,

in
192G
to
take
the
place
of

and
again

In
the
early
part
of
December,
1926,
when
Dr.

Smetona

cabinet,

The

was
overthrown,
but

permitted
to

after
