We should ban ourselves to- gether, not Only as Liberals but as Canadians. In the Liberal policy lies the solution of the problem of today. Very few of us realize the problem, it is to govern Canada. Canada’s area totals 3,694 square miles and only Rulssia and China are larger than Canada. This is the 'area the Cana- dian parliament is supposed to gov- ern today. It is the duty of the Cana- dian parliament to preserve the unity of the people. Democracy means the toleration of the other man’s view point.

HIGHLIGHTS OF LIBERTY Freedom of Conscience “Oo-unt your many blessings, name them one by one,” how we hav-e sung these words and then forgotten the words and the many blessings. It is a good -thing to call time put now and then from the everyday affairs of life and take stock of the blessings Which are ours -in this our Country of Canada. All our blessings- did not come to ue by chance, many were purchased by. great suffering and sac- rifice. Freedom of conscience, free- dom -to worship God, blessings denied in miany lands are ours. Non-e are persecuted! for their religibu'S- belief's in Canada or in any of the countries of the British Commonwealth of Hâ- tions,' the Christians of all -denomina- tions and sects, the Hebrew, the Mo- hammedan, the Buddist, the Brah- man, the Pareee, the Great Spirit of the red man, any religion or form of worship may be followed without in- terference by the state. Xo follower of the many religions or forms of worship ia penalized fo-r his faith. Liberty is based on- freedom within the law. The foundation of our liber- ties goes back over many years-. The birthday of our liberties- may be said to date back to June 15th, 1215, when in a .meadow named Rmmyniead, near Windsor Castile, King John wa-s for- ced to sign what came to be known as the Magna- Ghana. Magma Chart-a was the beginning, of what we call democracy. ‘ Far from being perfect as democ- racy now is, by peaceful: evolution through the process -of trial -and error it will grow to perfection in due course. When the best has been, said of the prevailing isms, Fascism, Na- zism and Communism, we discover these systems are based on tyranny. When we get down to facts-, Cb-mimun- ism, Fascism and all other isms only exist- for the suppression of the in- dividual citizen, -and the complete control of the 'State over the -move- ments, business-, speech and even thought -of ever person. With all its faults, which are really the faults -of the people, our British system preserves freedom. The, Brit- ish system, the democratic system is the betterâ€"the system whereby every man and woman is free to worship through the beliefs of his or her own- faith, free to learn what he or she can from a free press, free to form and state his- or her own opinions, free to elect his or her- own govern- ment, free to choose his or her o-w-n occupation. free to come 'and go as one thinks best-provided, of -course, that one does: not make a nuisance of ones self to ones- neighbours. All this freedom is our heritage ac- cepted -as -our right, We have been painfully reticent about talking about th-etBritish Empire -and: democracy for fear of misunderstanding, yet while we keep silent forces- within our own land are active promoting ism. foreign to those blessings which are ours to enjoy. Therefore let us take time to count our many blessings and name them one by one -and thereby get a true perspective of the liberties we en- joy, Eternal vigilance is the. price of our liberty.
