Some history of William Henry Moore: Apparently a Liberal Member of Parliament at the time of McKenzie King and an author. Had a 150 acre farm at Dumbarton which was taken over by Metropolitan Toronto who paid $2500 per acre for it. Had a grandson living on the family property after his death. Lived in Pickering. Very well to do, wrote many books. Supposedly a very intelligent man. Wrote a book in 1918 called The Clash on French Canada that discusses how they fit the requirements for nationhood W.H. Moore, The Clash! A Study in Nationalities (Toronto: J.M. Dent & Sons, 1918) From a speech introduction: He graduated in Arts at the University of Toronto, a member of the famous class of 1894. After graduating in Arts, Mr. Moore served his Alma Mater for a time as Fellow in Political Science, then took the course in law at Osgoode Hall, and, after graduating, went into pioneer work in the building of the old Canadian Northern Railway, where he served as Secretary of the Company. But his first love continued to beckon and eventually he answered by giving himself over to the study of economics and setting down in type the results of his labours. In other words, he became a writer. He is the author of The Clash, Polly Masson, Commandments of Men, Yellow Metal, Definite National Purpose, and, most recently, Underneath It All - a treatise of most compelling reason on the cause of the present world upheaval, from the economic and humanitarian points of view. Mr. Moore's abilities were recognized by the Government in 1926, when he was appointed Chairman of the Tariff Board, a position which he held until 1930, when he was elected to the House of Commons for the riding of Ontario, a riding which since that time he has continued to represent. Mr. Moore's abilities have been recognized also by institutions of learning and, to the original Bachelor of Arts, have been added Barrister-at-Law, Doctor of Laws, and Doctor of Letters. He is also one of His Majesty's Counsel learned in the law-in other words, a "K.C.", and is a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. Like the Latin poet Horace, who was "satis beatus unicis Sabinis", Mr. Moore is quite happy to live an actively retired life on his own little Pickering farm. |
