PAGE TWO e i MCCullagh's Great Message Keynotes Spirit Needed Today When George McCulagb, publisher ai the Globe and Mail and The Telegram, Toronto, spoke before a joint meeting ai the Canadian and Empire Clubs ai Toronto iast Piday, ta sum up is impressions aiter a recent trip ta Bitin and the continent, ho pnoabby was un- owane that bis message would receive the wido acclain, which it aurely menited. W. found many people, hereabouts, who listened ta thé broodcast, again tuned in for the re-broadcast and aiea plan ta secure re-printe now being prepared by the above two leading Toronto dailies. Tt was the spirit ai confidence and sane reaiity in the address that sa readiiy captured public attention and favorable opinion. The keynote that Canada now stands an the thneshold ai a groat world destiny and con become foreoet in world leadership if se achieves f ull national unity and choosos aound, tcstod and progressive gaverfiment ion the times aboad, appeared ta be the virile languoge people wish ta hear today. Ranging aven con- ditions iound in Britain and Western Europe, Mn. McCullagh was not at ail pessimistic ai -; the abilities of their peoples ta win back ta prosponity and f reedom, given the continued gaodwill and support ai the peoples ai the free tnans-Atiantic democracies. Mn. McCuiiagh nuled out socialiet govern- monts as incapable of inspiring the ab-essentiai ai maximum production and ai upholding true democrotie freedome. 'While Britons wore mon- fully standing up under socialism at the moment, thon. stili was at rock-bottom the dosîre for the sweoy of iree initiative, the only tested means oi getting ahead.

W. IAMES, Edit or A Good Representative of the People of Durham Now that Charles E. Stephenson, who has represented Durham County so ably in the House.ai Commoris.since 1945, has again been nominated to.represent this banner county, we think it apropos to repubiish. an editorial which appeared in these columns on Juiy 8th, 1948, commenting on his tenure of office, which reads as follows: A member of parliament, like ail public servants and those elected to public office, are aiways open to criticism. Yau wouldn't expect otherwise, for no man con please everybody. But since Charles E. Stephenson wos elected ta the House of Commons ta represent the con- stituency of Durham Caunty there has been littie criticism of his stewardship. In iact, con- siderabie favorable comments have heen heard fran, supporters of bath the aid Uine political parties of the valuobie services he has rendered ta individuals, the courity and the cauntry at large. Althaugh eiected os a Progressive Canser- votive member and sitting in opposition ta the present gaverfiment his actions have shawn that he is flot c]assed as a hide-bound party mon. From the start, when eiected, he took the at- titude, aini riahtly so, that he was the repre. sentative cf c-i the electors cf Durham Caunty. He has doile everything humaniy passible ta live up ta thot iiqh standard, bath in the Hause af Cammans and in the many duties and per- sanai requests tbat he has been cailed upon ta periorm. He is oarman. of practicai cammon sense having gone through the schoiaif hard knacks and warked his way Up the iadder ai business success by his awn initiative and as an inde- fatigable worker. During the sessions he bas been credited with presenting mony constructive meosures in the House and bas taken a leading part in discussions affecting the weifore ai the rlding he sa abiy represents. Anather paint which bas been appreciated by the electars is the fact thot he has made it his business ta keep the peaple "bock hame" infarmed an the issues cf the day by writing personal letters, by publishing letters front time ta time in the variaus newspapers in the county and by accasianal braacasts. Futhermore throughaut the year he mingles among bis constituents and gets'their reoctian and idoas an the important probiems as they affect then,. He bas aiea been vory generous whon colied upan ta speak at farums, service clubs and athor graups interested in getting first bond inform- aition ahout gaverrurîent af loirs. Durham County is fartunate in having Chorlie Stephenson as its member ai parliament, who ini the true sonse af the word is a reai representative oi the people. Boaders ai this papen are aware that fo quit. o number ai years we bave been unginc the proposition thot: "Indu.stry Has o Stony tc Tell." Our purpose was ta deiend the econamic principle ai free enterpriso by urging businesi ta do sometbing apecific against the han=ci ing ai the sacialiata who were mnaking headwa) with uniounded attacks. on legitimatq businesi enterpnisé. We have seen quit. an about-iaci on the part ai businessmen in this respect ir the past twaon three yéars. More and mon they are putting their case beo re the publi( and with good resuits. People are becominc protty well inlarmed about the baoni pros penity ai this country. But leading the field in the matter ai public relations have been the ecanamic-senvice argon- fzations in Canada, notabby Cbartered Banks and Lii e Insurance Companies. The public en- iightenment programme developed by the Con- adian Bankers Association hos been fan quit@ a iew yeare an outstanding contribution in tItis sphere. By institutional advertisements in the press, issuing informative boakiets, by virtue ai the confidentiol co-operation ai branch bank managers and through enightened and inform- ative annual reports ai bank presidents, it will be iound in every cammunity today that the public bas o very much widen understanding of aur banking system, recognized as the boat in the worid. These assertions simpiy lead up ta the an- nouncement ai a new publication just received in aur office. A bandy bookiet ai 40 pages, its titie: "Questions and Answens About Canada's Banks" introduces text materiai that expiains aur whole banking systemn in such simple terms that anyone con arasp and iuily camprebend. It deals with every phase ai banking practice, discusses inflation, the aspects ai socialized bonking, deposits, boans, security and so forth. Of particuior interest is tho chapter on the farnwr's borrowing position undor the revised Bank Act. In short it is a complote primer on the world's beet banking systom. Whoever wos responsibie for tbinking out and putting down on poper ail the documcented moterial in tbis booklet shows a wide compre- bension ai the probieme ai the ordinary Con- adian citizen. We consider the little volume ar masterpiece of iucidity that wili be welcamned by every persan fortunate enougb ta obtain a copy.

Ld of Ld Ic THECÀNAnTM ~rA'w~qrA .?Ut~#A7TV?.?2 R?'PAf' WLM1SDAY, MAY ZOffi, 1949 I The CCF Mainitoba Convention refused ta endors. the Marsaal Plan wbicb bas been the very lifeblood of the stricken European countries strugging ta recover fneedomn. The British Columbiar CCF Convention actually voted at majorityr against the Nortb Atlantic Pact. It will be recalled that wben George Drew spoke in the bouse ion the complote acceptonce of this Pact, Mr. St. Laurent ruabed acroas the flbar ta shaoe is band for a truly Canadian effort. STRANGE ATTITUDE Now, for tbe Prime Minister ta go out west and harll the CCF as people really on his teoni la a stronge pracedure. Bock ai aill this are CCF statements thot "Canadasn defenceless. nesla ber greatest strengtb" . . . "Not a single soldier ta b. sent avenseos" . . . "W. sbouid reduce aur defence estimates ta the uum af anc dollar" . . . "My son wiil go t a jlI rother thon jain aur fighting services" and no an. Ail this ia on the record ond well known ta Mn. St. Launent wben bo made bi& declaration that CCP alima werc bis toa. COMMUNIST ELEMENT W. cannat bolieve thart the potriatlc Canaidien votera want that sort ci leadership. The iact la thot the conventions in Manitoba and British Columbia wene dorninated by the extremne icîtiste in the CCP, wha by their actions, virtuoily declaned their approvai af Communiat Russia. It wili aima o erocalled that the iberals in the Grey-North by-election, put out odventisements that their candidate was being uppoted by the Communiste. Next the Canadian Commies swung their weight bebind the CCP, and evon if loter repudiated, they had their full sway in the western conventions. Opposed toaoll these inter-pbays ond lnter-merrloages ln. 'volvlng the preaent-day Liberals, the CCP and the Commies, there stands out clearly and distinctly, the reaclute stand cf the Progrdssive Cansorvative Party and the record af George Drow. Not once have the Communists or the Socialiste, dared te dlaim contact an affiliation wlth the party led by George Drew. Todary ho permonifies the flgbtlnq spirit that would utterly dissolve this triple-alliance ond its course toward centnolized atate contrai. MORE TO COME It cannat ho 'aid that Mn. St. Laurent bas not been warned aout the trend hoba taken. A dozen or maore ai the greateat aid-tirne Liberals in Canada have repeatediy epoken eut against the cleor, present-day departure from Liberai pinciplos by thein aiieged leaders ln the Ottawa Cabinet.

THE POLICAL SclEJE AS THE EDITOR VIEWS IT This calinn set out ta discuss the prebent Dominion election campaign by insisting that the Canadian people want the strangest passible government ini these timon of very un. settled conditions in many parts af the globe. It bas been mode plain that national prosperity resta upon the fuileat measure of trade and the maintenance af personai freedom ta permit Can- adians ta take a leading part in restorinq harniany and freedomn throughout the world. STRENGTH NEEDED Strong government cannot be maintained without sttenqth in leadership. W. have shown in some degre. the qualities of leadership and the political trend between the two leaders naw cantending for power in the federai f ield, namely, Prime Minuster St. Laurent and thc leader af the apposition, George Drcw, whe advances the programme cf the national Progressive Censer- votive Party. They differ sharply an one fundamental political issue. FREEDOM 0F MARXISM This issue willl be discussed mostly for the information af the new and younger votera wbo will b. casting their ballots for the first time in a Dominion election. It in probabiy reolized that twa cpposing political precepta are dividing public opinion taday. On the anc hand are the people wha defend Democracy ond frcedarn; on the other hand are those whc champion Marism and state direction cf the individual. REPUGNANT SYSTEM The doctrine cf Karl Marx in upheld by Communiats and Socialiats, bath ai wbom when given power put their theories into practice in varying degrees ta create a state under which the individuai citizen loacs much ai bis f recdom of action and must yield ta. stote direction. This system in wholly repugnant ta those who value the liberties inherent in Demaocratic institutions. It moy be asked: "Does this issue enter the picture in the cominq election?" ATTITUDES SHOWN The answer May b. found in the attitudes of bath the St. Laurent party and the CCF-Socialiats, each callectively and individually doing their utmast ta decry and defeat the Pro- gressive Conservatives led by George Drew. The CCF deciare, without equivacation, that if given power, they will introduce the full programme ai Saciolism over the Canadian people. Mr. St. Laurent, according ta his recent statement, wauld apply Socialism in a more leisureiy manner. Let us look at same of the evidence. CALCULA TED DIVORCE In describing the CCF party as "Liberals in a hurry," Prime Minister St. Laurent announced the divorce of his party from the oidtime Liberalism aif Laurier and ail the old stalwarts who voted Liberal as the traditionai party af freedom among sturdy pioneers. Pointing out the ioily ai Mr. St. Laurent's attitude, his former Liberal colleague, Senatar, the Hon. Tom Crerar said: (P.237, Hansard, March 24, 1949) "1 arn deligbted to see amang aur gaod Conservative fionda adopting reality in those mottons." SLOW-MOTION SQCIALISM Thero is much more evidence ta show that the Progressive Conservative Party in recent timos. bas taken aven almoat con.- pletely the spirit ai pragresa and liberty cbampianed by the aid- time Liberals, naw renouncod by Mr. St. Laurent in fayon af slow. motion Socialien,. This evolution, as unbiased readens will per- ceive, bas coincided with the 1 -year campaign aif this paper ta dci eat the creoping Socialism that bas now captured the 14-year-old Ottawa negime. ACTUAL BEDFELLOWS In admitting that his party and the CCF anc now, today, bedfellows in political aima, Mr. St. Laurent han shawn a fatal weakness in leadership. In the face ai his remark that the CCF were "Liberais in a Hurry" ho bad befone bimn the recards of twa CCF conventions, one in Manitoba, anc in British Columbia, whose sentiments will b. ropudiated by olI patriatic Caniadiana. ing feeding and care. e o Sound waves ;iave been per-1 Canada produced $514 millions ceived at a distance af 3,000 miles. aio minerais in 1945.

Animais such as groundhogs which can be caught in Canada are exchanged for animais such as porcuvines that are more pien- tiful in the U.S.A. Even elephants can be obtained, if ordered. Snakes are sold at so much a foot or pound. Mr. McDonald supplies pet stores tram Vancouv'er ta Hal- ifax. Jungle Land has another rarc animai, a Blue Merle dog, a type ai calle af which there are onlv 12 in Canada. The childi-en have made a special pet of this beauti- ful dog.
