yours truly a hyde george o atkins candidate in haltorf for the national government party to the people of halton colonel george drew is one of can ads distinguished soldiers an au thoriy on munitions he wrote a re cord of canada air achievements in the great war that is an invaluable source of information he exposed the international munitions ring and its part in frustrating peace and foster ing war he suffered serious injuries in rendering distinguished service to his country he knows war he is determined that nothing shall be left undone that will aid and protect our men as a good canadian colonel drew desired to tell the people of canada how perilously poor our war prepara tton had been how imperative it is hat we organize our utmost effort for victory his radio speech was cen sored the government that would tell parliament the truth refused to let colonel george drew tell it over the radio it is true that colonel drews facts were a grave exposure of the failure of the government but it was in your interest and mine the public interest that they should be known to every canadian the following portions of his ccn sored remarks are taken from the globe and mail they were addressed directly to mr king the peace establishment of our land forces is six divisions the weapons of the infantr come first our infantry was armed with rifles brought back to canada from election bureau bust in view of the fact that there will be no acclamations and in certain ridings the contest may produce a variety of aspirants the election bur eau in ottawa is one of the busiest departments m the nations capital at the present time though the officials were actually ready to face an else hon last fall which would have been held but for the outbreak of the war ye the unusual flood of candidates and the revision or consolidation of the dominion elections act m the regular session has brought many new problems or situations as an aftermath of the new features arid reforms of the election machinery being especially burdensome for the higher officials the momentum of opera ions is mounting dally as the time for the polling comes nearer and nearer and now a small army of men and women are engaged in this work with the bulk of these workers being on the public lay roll as returning officers deputies loll cleiks enumerators constable and others reaching the figure of

can take you to at least one unit mr king who is trying to train to day with a twelve pounder made for the south african war in the whole of canada we had four anil aircraft guns which could have been used against modem air craft they an ivea irom england last year and were not of the latest pattern our tank battalions were wi hout tanks you know that we have a small number of obsolete machines at camp borden and that your government would not even supply the necessary technical equipment so tha these tanks could be used for instructional purposes our menanlzed cavalry was with out me nanlcal

finished some months ago the na tional steel car corporation did i splendid job but it was not their duty to order the engines when the aircraft were finished it was found that the government had ordered only twenty engines and eight of those machines are still at the malton plant without engines simply because he department of national defense for got to order the engines from eng land until last december the best evidence of that is the fact that although our land forces were without modern weapons when war began no new order has been placed in canada during six months of war for the weapons that we need so badly you mr king are aware that the only pursuit ships we had in canada then wei c five ancient sopwlthsls kins which had been obsolete for at least ten years and had a top speed of 146 miles an hour those were the machines with which you were going to give advanced training to men who would be called upon to handle fight ers with a speed of 400 miles an hour th tr tr
