B L u E AN D WH IT E archy has stood like a rock, because it is based on mutual respect and goodwill be- tween ruler and subjects. Since Victoria's accession the world has witnessed the coronations of King George VII, postponed once on account of his criti- cal illness and operation, and of the late King George V of revered memory. At the forthcoming ceremony, there will be many whose thoughts will turn to the for- mer king, Edward VIII. As a young staff officer with the Canadian Corps during the Great War, and at the recent dedication of the Vimy Memorial, he won the hearts of Canadians. From motives of chivalry, whether rightly or wrongly, he renounced his kingship before his coronation, and ab- dicated in favor of his brother. The coronation of King George VI will be a splendid spectacle. In the storied Ab- bey on the twelfth day of May will be gathered princes, potentates, warriors, the mighty and the noble. No pulse there but will quicken when the venerable Arch- bishop of Canterbury sets on the king's head the crown with its 1ordly male sapphires and rubies courageous at heart and diamonds of fabulous value, while the king on his throne receives the plaudits of his people. But to those of understand- ing heart, the Coronation will be much more than a spectacle. In reality, George VI became king with his proclamation, and if thecoronation were only an occasion of pomp and splendor, it is doubtful whether, in these troublous times, there would be general agreement with continuing the custom, even though it has the weight of great antiquity. The true meaning of the coronation is that it is a sacrament in which the new sovereign, hallowed by the sacred oil and ennobled by the golden spurs of knight- hood, has placed in his hand the orb sur- mounted by the cross, as a symbol that he is but an earthly ruler deriving his power from God. The ring placed on his finger is an emblem of the mystical mar- riage between his people and himself. The motto of the Prince of Wales is Ich Dien g the motto of our King today might well be I serve. So long as the King of Great Britain and the Dominions beyond the Seas truly serves his people by being mindful of the high office to which he has been called, so long will the British Throne con- tinue. Seen in this light, the coronation will be a profoundly moving ceremony. fr S3252-:fit AL av--4 Y-' Z' r Q. I: 5 we-.-.1 Y' ...Fu fi iqgfftll 'i--'4 -A 25 ' .4 ' 1' F9 5? 3 ' Page Four

In May the eyes of the world will be focused upon London, when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth will be crowned in Westminster Abbey where for a thousand years the sovereigns of England have assumed the royal insignia. Into the capital city of the British Empire the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor for this notable occasion. A little less than one hundred years ago a young girl of nineteen had the crown placed on her brow at the beginning of a glorious reign extending over sixty years. What changes have been wrought since Victoria became Queen! In 1838, France was a kingdom, later it became a republic, then an Empire, and after the disastrous war of 1870, again a republic. Germany in 1838 was a loose federation of principali- ties, after the Victory of 1870 Bismarck welded it into an empire till the Great War crushed the ambitious Hohenzollerns, and Germany under Hitler is now a totalitarian Nazi state. When Victoria was crowned Italy had not been unified, Mazzini, Gari- baldi and Cavour accomplished that in 1861, and the present year of grace finds the House of Savoy still on the throne but with Benito Mussolini as dictator of a fascist Italy. The vast empire of Austrial Hungary has disappeared since the war of 1914-19185 Austria and Hungary are now separate and a new country, Czecho- Slovakia, has been created. Spain and Portugal today are republics with the for- mer in the throes of a most bloody civil war. Russia, in 1838 ruled by the most autocratic sovereign in Europe, has mur- dered its last Tsar and is now governed by the Soviets. Concepts such as Communism, Nazism and Fascism, unknown in Vic- toria's era, are commonplace today. In the midst of all these changes, the British mon- Page Three
