Lamentable Lack of lnterest \Ve werc greatly impressed by an ad- dress delivercd renltly before Brantford Iiwanis Club by John Atkins, 'Managing I)irector of the Canadian MLIagýazinie. He issued a warnîngi in no uncertain manner that t'anadianl democratie ideals wvere being, fhrcatened tiot from outside. but frorn witlîin. To ineet thc menace Île advocated a course of constructive action, including format ion of a Re-Confederat ion Govern- ment which would give the Canadianl peo- pIe a new constitution; establishment of a national econonhie couineil at the lead of a strictly iot-political civil service; es- tablishme,nt of "nation8l authorities" for transport and conservation, and the inau- uration of a ntational policy of education for citizenship. W'e believe that Mr. Atkins lias suipplied thc frflmework of a constructive prograni of whichi Canada stands ini dire îîeed. It is not the thircat of cl)mmunism, fascism or any otiier "isiîî' which endangers this Do- nillion, but the lack of aggresslve leader- ship to rcbuild the J)olitical and economie structure of flic country, as well as a wvan- ing interesf i tlîir conftry 's welfare on fie part of a large body of citizens. li ai article in ii aclean 's Magazine, Beverley Baxter gave fie opinion that Canada xvas lackiiiîg in national discipline, which iii tic final anialysis means that tlic average citi- zen is itot being given any incentive or any objective to do bis or lier part in advancing flhc national weifarc. Wc believe fIat tlic iîîdictnemîti a fair one. If is not thtat ('anadians 'want or require reginientfation. buit sinmpiy thaft tey are thoroîîgily dis- heart ened bv thc laissez-faire attitude of tîteir national leaders and flic policies tiat have so seriously impaired the econonlic fabrie of thieir country.
