preparing for war yet no pre paration of any kind wis made if it were not for the fact flat this is a som of t s which wo tatstof prep hear would be quite funny for example when the war began a general wrote me i wonder if x can remember the phrase he used stating that the antiaircraft units had no antiaircraft guns and that the searchlight units had no searchlights that is what has happened all across this country there has been a complete lack of preparation and as a result the war effort op far is deplorable i am not objecting particularly a general election i am objecting to the tricky manner in which it is being called i am objecting to the house of commons being called together and then laughed at by the prime mln lster andif you llkerby the mm ister of justice mr lapolnte

had listened to the speech from the bar of the senate had relumed to their own chamber the e was quite a sharp exchange icros the floor on the wisdom of call ng an immediate election the announcement of the election had ob vlously come as a complete surprise then when the house rose at six o clock expecting to re assemble at eighi another bombshell was to come the cabinet met in the east block of

whom had ar rived in the morning expecting to stay for three or four months were pack ing their bags at night to return to their home the speech from the throne said canada s industrial nnanclal and other resources were being steadily mobilized and all war activities coor dlnated the canadian people had shown their determination to share with britain and france to the ut most of their strength in the defence of freedom for the effective pro secution of the war it was imperative the speech said that those charged with gie grave responsibility of carry k ing on the government of canada k should be fortified by a direct and jf unquestioned mandate from the peo a pie the speech from the throne is of course the voice of the govern ment later in the commons in the face of bitter opposition to

my mind they have handled the war effort of canada in a most disgraceful manner after more than a year s warning we have called up one divi sion to go overseas there were not enough clothes for these
