that British tradition and British sentiment which, delicate and
intangible as gossamer, but strong as steel, bind our far-flung Empire
into one triumphant unity.

And now, as a fitting climax to the history of the corps at the time
when it was undergoing changes that meant larger opportunities and
increased usefulness in the years ahead, there comes this note in
Commissioner Perry's report for 1920 just off the press:

"On March 8 last, Sir George Perley, High Commissioner for Canada,
cabled as follows:

'With His Majesty's approval Prince of Wales has graciously
consented accept position Honorary Commandant Royal Canadian
Mounted Police and His Royal Highness asks me tell you how pleased
he is to be associated with Force in this way.'

"On May 3, an Order in Council was passed making the appointment.

"The Force has been signally honoured by His Royal Highness, and it
keenly appreciates the distinction conferred upon it."

This needs no comment beyond saying that the Prince of Wales knows
Canada and knows the Mounted Police record in peace and in war. The
Prince, who came to the overseas Dominions to represent our beloved
King, has always shown his splendid capacity for thus appreciating the
service of men who have stood and will continue to stand unconquered for
the Flag

"That may float or sink o'er a shot-torn wreck,
But will never float over a slave."
