weekly held in jail for six and onehalf months he was finally released and went to england where he now publishes the lilliput magazine mr lorant s opinion of the nazi regime is graphically summed up in his concluding paragraphs when i met my wife and son the little fellow did not recognize me time the following dialogue ensued who are you andi asked me im your father anybody might say that but i am really your father aren t you going to greet me all right said the little chap he raised his hand in the hitler i salute and yelled at the top of his voice heil hitler that was andis greeting to his father who had been hitlers pris oner for six and a half months i was quite taken aback but andl meant it quite seriously all this time he had been in berlin and he had seen no one exchange greet togs in any other way during the last few months it seemed the natural thing for him to do well said i haven t you anything else to say to me7 hell hitter he shouted again well what else whats next i asked i was thinking of a kiss of greeting f whats next andl repeated reflectively next then the band plays and they bang the big drum andl my threeyearold son had hit the nail on the head he had

ella kays mdrae shall i vote for kl n g or m anion there is only one decision to be made by the canadian people on march 26th it is this shall our countrys war effort be handed over to unknown unnamed politicians to a make shift cabinet with dr manion as the selfappointed leader or shall our countrys war effort be continued vigorously and faithfully by the known and proven administration of mackenzie king that is the question you must answer up a blind alleyorout in the open it is time for plain speaking dr man ions pretence of offering national government is sheer polit ical deceit because i even if be were elected to office dr manion could not organize oread a truly national gov ernment the parliamentary group which might follow him would fail to represent all canada it would not represent the people of the national liberal party it would not represent the people of the c c f party it would not represent the people of the historic conservative party which dr manion has now scuttled do not be deceived 1 dr manion cannot give you national government the best he might give you would be government by unknown followers he invites you to follow him up a blind alley to vote for a government of his own imagination answerable to tome undisclosed political group mackenzie king offers you something entirely in the open the most truly notional government canada has ever known his parliamentary followers represent the people of every province tn canada every section of our countryvevery economic social and racial group there is not an area of this country not a single classification of our people without proper repre- sentation in the mackenzie king following mackenzie kings cabinet ministers are well known to you they are broadly experienced men eager and able to continue the sort of admin istration which brought progress to canada in times of peace and national pride to canadians since the outbreak of war the mackenzie king administration is answerable to the people of canada to no one e the responsibility is now yours canada is facing the greatest crisis in her history it is your responsibility to say how she is to deal with this rrisis therefore when you go to the i polls march 26th you should consider only what is best for canada what is best for the empire and our allies what is the sure direct road to victory and peace forward with mackehz to
