ignorant of the potentialities far profiteering of political patronage and the many dls graceful ramifications of war on a huge scale pew could foresee the com pletely selfish preoccupatlon on the part of some in using the war to fur ther their own ends entirely oblivious to the sacrifices others were making with the entailed suffering and gref last september when the war of 1914 1p18 broke out afresh after an armistice of twenty five years thous ands of canadians knew all the answ ers the call to arms found a nation determined to finish the job but equal lv determined to see that the second stage of the world war would be fought and w n on a vastly different basis at least three hundred thousand war veterans are on guard experienced thoughtful and with vivid memories most of these veterans were not again eligible for miliary service but they were ready for a national service the job of checking any repetition of the rrore greed and selfishness of 1914 1918 these men demanded equality of service they watched for signs of profiteering and patronage this was the situation in september last it forced the political leaders to move slowly it was a brake on the ind istrlal ai d financial interests who were ready to swoop it made for an effective check rein and acoomted to some cxtcrt for tho apparent dellbera tlon wl h which canada s war machine ifot into action then there was another factor wii tical parties generally can move no faster than public opinion although the threat of war hong over the em pire few canadians were prepared to heed the warnings hence canada s preparations for national defence were puny half hearted and totally inade quate not one political party in can ada had courage to race the facts and all must hare the responsibility con ada was pussy footing largely because re armament entailed further burdens of taxation which found little enthu slosm in a nation bogged down in the burden of a ten year depression liv ing for the moment immersed in con troversy in economics fearful of the future there was no heart for expend itures on military preparation for na tlonal security and yet when war did come it found paradoxically as it may sound a nation going to war on a sourder basis than it did twenty five years atro if for no other reason than there was a grfm determination that political favor patronage and profiteering were out to this extent at least there was to be equality of sacrifice ask any old soldier and he will te i you there is onh one fair wnv to fignt any war by conscription draft the needed man power conscript wealth conscript industry let the resources of the nation be pooled for the com mon need let the burden fall equally on each home let all share the cost in full equally then and only then 1 is the nation fully at war but and the old soldiers know it canada will not do it that way con sorlptlon is out for the present the reasor s are so apparent quebec yes b it further the desire to avoid the fatal knock on the door and the cablegram from the war office which leads sincerely regret to inform you 191444 ounner thomas atkinson artll lery killed in action and now after five months the na tlon is plunged into a general clec tlon in which the chief issue ls the degree of vljktf behind canada s effort here in onbfrif the fight is mainly be tween liberals and conservatives the tories accuse the liberals of political trickery ir the sudden dissolution of parliament the orits counter with the cry ol cheap politics in the con servative pretension of a national government canadians on the whole in which party politics are obliterated and all art united in a common cause but they realize national government cannot come until all political parties are tuned to it true national gov ernment cannot be and is not the personal property of any one political party patriotism and loyalty are born of the soul not of tho political mind and so the fight develops without is tola mackenzie kins and di have declared against conscription poltlcal weather eyes are cocked en quebec there may be much of polnv leal expediency on the declarations of both leaders but it is also evident they are to far committed on this issue ever to draw back manlons declaration ls unfortunately and strangely enougb weakened by his call for a national government for in the eyes of many a great many national government and conscription are associated if for no other reason than the general bo iler that conscription will never como from any one political party but only from a national government this weakness is emphasized by the var ied declarations of conservative can- dldatea and is responsible for soma of the confusion now in evidence at mlltqn over a week ago gordon gray- dqn ex mp for peel declared against conscription except for home service in hamilton very recently t john marsh ex mjp for hamilton west de clared the policy i suggest is no con scription at the present time the iamc day dr l w m preele of glen- coe accepting the conservative nom ination in middlesex west stated he- could not entirely agree with dr man- ion in his opposition to conscription naturally this odds to the confusion of the moment and leads to the thought that irrespective of the out come of the present election canada if the war continues for two years will be thrown into- te turmoil of another election iri which real national gov ernment andr conscription will be the bitter issues fkxoy old soldiers believe this and uiexeforeaire more or less in different as to the outcome of the pre sent appeal to the voters they hold that five months of war preparation have not been enough to test the sin cerity of the liberal government or sufficient to clarify the issues some hold that it will take another year to demonstrate the vigor and determina tion behind canada a effort public op inion ls slow to crystallize it would appear that canadians as yet are not prepared to accept compulsory service just as they seem committed to the middle of the road course of which the liberal prime minister is the chief exponent certainly act in haste re pent at leisure has never been mackenzie king slogan and many are- prepared tqocept what appears to be a slow motion ut the effort that it alt spells sound preparation in the end manlons job ls to convince the public that kings measured tread may be sloth in the meantime king has proven to the war veteran that there will be no more 3 00 wheat no more 10 day for munition work no more war millionaires no more unfilled rosy promises to volunteer soldiers the politicians are on the testing ground time enough to become exercised as to the question of vigor behind our war effort when this very question te strong enough to break down all the
