it has had a hard life of it, this feeling of imperial patriotism. it
was checked for a generation by the apathy and the
indifference which were the characteristics of our former

country of ours showed that it was still possessed by the spirit
of our ancestors, and that it was still prepared to count no
sacrifice that was necessary in order to maintain the honor and
the interests of the empire, then you found a response from
your children across the seas that astonished the whole world
by a proof, an undeniable proof of affection and regard.
