Bennett was a crreat Canadian. He was a great Prime Minister, too. It was not through lack of acumen arid ability 'that he was not long Prime Minister. It was his political misfortune, if such it might be called, that he and his government were m jju during the greatest depression the country and the world, for that matter, had ever known. Many statesmen of lesser light had longer political longevity than he. He might have had too under different circumstances. Bennett may have lacked suavity and diplomacy but there are none who will say that he lacked resolution and sincerity. He was not a seeker of popu-Jarity and did not win it. Possibly he was too outspoken and candorous anyway. He was, however, greatly respected. His eloquence, if vitriolic and sometimes uncautious, was a Dy-woru. While a multi-millionaire, Bennett was independent and on occasion during his political career nfhipkml tliP "hiV interests" and their effect upon aj; :Tthe economic life of Canada of which he was ever jfTT-'agy a loyal champion. m Mr. Bennett looked upon the possession of great Swealth, honestly accumulated, as an obligation and trust to be administered in the interests of the de- jAif -"", j ; ennnnpt nf wnrtriv institutions.

He had obtained it "by my untiring efforts in this great western land to which I owe so much."

During his years in Ottawa R. B. Bennett gave the impression of aloofness and was at times abrupt U with those to whom he was ciosesi in nis assucia- tions. He had few intimate friends, no hobbies and j, never played games. To those who knew him well, I however, it was obvious he was warm-hearted, gen- i erous and thoughtful. A remarkable memory about some little domestic problem or incident often prpv-i ' - ed to casual acquaintances he had not forgotten i - v.' theiu ' , .. Constantly stressing his policy of Canada first ,. there was never any question of Mr. Bennett's Imperialism. "I give place to no man in my love for-our Empire but there is a greater love in my. life aim uiui is my luyc aim vjuimua. juugcjue u .uwu . --A . bachelor, his devotion to what he considered his country's best interests was unrestricted by domestic responsibilities. It is a coincidence that his chief political opponent throughout his years as op-. sposition leader and prime minister wasanother, 'bachelor, Mackenzie King, who, incidental paidt Vreat tribute to him in his passing. r J" AN APPRECIATED VISIT FEDERAL Department of Trade and Commerce THE is entitled to an expression of appreciation at the active interest it is at last showing in Prince Rupert through the sending here of its traffic officer, Col. W. J. Fisher, to study at first " hand the possibilities of developing world shipping ii i it i J .j I'm. !J 3 i inrougn ims great ana, so iar, liiue consiuereu port. Representations along this line, ably presented at the recent Foreign Trade Conference in Vancouver of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, have quickly borri fruit through the dispatching to Prince Rupert of Col. Fisher on his first hand "fact finding" mission. Those who have so far met him have found him very keen and interested and not without some advance information. We hope that, as a result of what he sees and learns while here, V will be able, through his department, to awaken a sharper interest in this, port and its possibilities and that, as a result, further steps may be taken towards its logical utilization in the flow of postwar trade and commerce.

However, at this time oi change, it seems fitting that ftwp should be some sincere expression of tribute to a teach er who has spent a great many years with our children In the schools of our city. It seems to me that Mr. O'Neill has been and Is a teacher particularly devoted to his work.
