the georgetown herald wednesday evening february 28th 1940 page 5 hon t a cram addnued a liberal mau meeting at milton ba1d germany interested in canadas internal affairs era in fusing a certain resolution it tou again used as a weapon against th allies this and that in t a crerar addressed a lib eralprogressive mass meeting at mil ton last friday night in the interests of hughs cleaver liberal candidate in the coming federal election purely destructive criticism of the king government has strengthened hitter s hand and has weakened the position of britain and france said hon mr crerar the speaker warn ed canadians against playing poll tics and thus playing into the hands of the dictators here in canadawe have a demo cratic form of government which was founded by a free people notwlth standing the troubles which we think wehae and some are real we nave- the right to complain to criticize and to change the true meaning of this is not fully appreciated by us here in canada the democratic form of government admittedly is not per fect but it is as close to perfection as e have approached so far l do not ttunk that canadians are aware or the tremendous inter est taken in their internal affairs by the dictator at berlin every scrap of news which might indicate disunity in the dominion is quickly seized and broadcast to the world at large any news which can be interpreted t pf v atc no 4- quel in thtoiting jy behind the war is a morsel uhlch greedy german propagandists seize upon eagerly imagine what the poll- all the boy tical charges of the opposition at ot tawa must look like all such scraps of news are broadcast to the world at large as proof that there is little en qiusiasm in the dominions for this war in which britlan has involved them now this war is not a clash for territory or power it is a struggle for ideals it is a war for freedom and libem it is a war for chris tianity which in itself is a bulwark of the right of each individual to liberty and happiness if britain and france go down in this struggle what is lert for the world i have told our british friends that canadians are with england and france to the end i could do noth ing else for the people or the domln ion though they may grumble from time to time are always on the side of freedom and justice n every statement maliciously made by any prominent canadian vith re gard to another is i threat to tin allied war effort why because of its use to german propagandists while the quebec election was in progress the german short ae sta tions radioed news of it to the neu trals india palestine and other coun tries this election was twisted and distorted to show that there was divi sion in canada later hen a wr tain government bodj in this pro vince went a little

fans here are most interested in is the one at the arena friday night when luck- now play the return game a record crowd should be on hand for this is the second game out of the group pla offs our first time intermediate group title holders will have played local fans should get behind our hockey boys and help boost them on to greater honors in the oh a goals- will count on the round just when we had high hopes for our junior c aggregation in tht o h a play offs it was lights out and no more hockey in their section although a banquet is rumored and what of hockey when their is a ban on the junior learn turned in good pirns against milton and while we think the better team won we are hieh is our praise of the silver streaks tht loss of eddit binsell star defenceman was a heaxv blow to the mnnlp of the team milton juniors took on bolton in the group fina en monday night at mil ton and went down under a 7 3 score it would appear that bolton are hav ing cveiv thing theit own way now

from than about a much as we sold to them trie first year he agreement was in operation there was a trade balance in our favor of 41 million dollars the fol lowing year the trade balance was again decidedly in our favor 42 mil lion dollars but in the fall of 1937 a very unfortunate thing happened the 0j3 had a further business recession business there dropped about one- third in a couple of months the drop was much more severe than that of the great depression the united states is our largest customev over the past years that country has pur chased over forty per cent of our total exports more than is purchased by great britain and when your best customer gets into financial distress you will be sure to luffer loss also we had no such business recession in canada and kept on buying from the united states with the result that by the end of 1838 we found our selves with an adveise balance of trade for that year of 144 millions of dollars this came about without any change in the agreement without any change in the tariffs and was entirely beyond our control i would like to make a suggestion rljiht here when we are in such a vulnerable position and when our prospeiilj is so dependent upon the prosper 1 1 of oui foreign customers we should see to that our financial structure is suei that all of our peo pie will bear depression problems in the same proportion as
