eyomhrek 20940 igevyzywt kw canadi radio program boof8 mail r smce t canadian active bw jlce force force went wvci keen a great many complaints about be tong delays involving the delivery 4ec mau from home to these canadians abroad however enquiry in ottawa hows that this is inevitable according to the present arrangementa because ad mall to the troops must be forwar tfed from every post office through wut the land to the base port office n ottawa where under the personal direction of major o w ross all sail must be sorted into bags deeig amted for he various units and sub awquently these letters or parcels are despatched from ottawa to whatever port the authorities decide though it joust be borne in mind that canadian jtroops abroad may be moved from one place to another and it is advisable bat these movements should not be known generally for obvious reasons furthermore all such material must carried by convoyed vessels and if letter or parcel reaches a point of departure right after a convoyed group nas gone it may involve weeks and weeks of delay until the next group of boats will be ready for transport tfem across the ocean what lb the charge there is not the slightest doubt amongst experienced and independent observers in parllamen hill that the man in the street throughout canada is only interested in one main issue in the present war lime electoral cam palgn with this isue requiring the av erage man and woman to judge be t tween the govemmen s defence of ita war record and the evidence sub nutted by their opponents to support a serious condemnation of that record since the average canadian desires utat politics shall not interfere in the national war effort to the full limit of this country s capacity and efflc lency in other words while the pre sent government has been charged with defectiveness and a lack of de termined leadership in attempting to solve since 1935 such urgent national problems as that of wheat policies tariff questions tallway losses unem ployment and relief difficulty un balanced budgets ineffective costly commissions of enquiry bren gun and other war c of a scandalous und etc yet it istkq ww accusation alone which wll influence most the average canadian taxpayer when he or she goes to the poll on march the iwenty sixth jflupasa a final judgement the present administration in crt tawa under these circumstances a clear and dexterous charge should precede such an historic decision by the people of canada since this extremely grave national usue has suffered from cen aortal and political blackouts as well as from the ill effects of being be clouded lr the public mind by wave upon wave of whispers rumours gossip etc the defence of the gov ernmem is now common knowledge because the war effort has been pub licized throughout the whole country by every form of modem propaganda or scientific means of informing the masses either by the authorities of the administration in an official capacity or by the agencies of the political or luxation which is now in power in the capital however in order that the voter may be able to judge fairly nd intelligently the government a war record it is essential that the charge should be explained in its pro per light so that the voter may better understand the exact accusation what is the charge i the opponents of the government accuse the admin jstratlon of being lackadaisical and halfhearted in preparing canada for the present war with the indictment alleging that a series of events prove tbat the government has been guilty of the grave offence of falling to pre conceive properly the present conflict which has resulted in a faulty and fat nous war effort through certain ac uons or inactions imprudence neg lect and want of skill and illustrating once again that haste is waste since sudden and quick preparations had to be made after canada declaration of war on september the tenth of 1839 rearmament programme in 1838 with gradual acceleration all along the line in order o keep abreast of the rest of facts the government did not take any logical action since in 1906 its defence budget was only 3 70 per head of the population and in 1037 it was only in creased by 13 000 000 reaching the fig i ure of s3 70 per head this was only a drop in the bucket of the world s de fence budgets of those years even for a country supposedly far away from the likely theatre of war since the united states levy for the same pur poses was about three times as much per capita exclusive of other charges for considerable sums of borrowed money spent by uncle sam on arma ments furthermore in those two years of desperate preparation when rearmament started on a serious basis the defence budget of sixty nations more than doubled rising from 5 000 000 to over 11 000 000 between these two years soviet russia increased its armament expenditure from 1 000 000 000 to 2963 000 000 germany from 381 000 000 to 2 600 000 000 united states from 71 000 000 to 064 000 000 great britain from 480 000 000 to 646 000 000 with the mother land starting on a defence programme t038 which called for an txpendl lure of at least 7 080 000 000 over a short pe lod including a defence bud get for 1938 of 513 600 000 for the i royal air force 532500 000 lor the army and 770 150 000 for the royal navy in other words it is alleged that the government did not take he nee ejary ai d demrable measure of pre caution in th right time to build up in a careful and scientific manner au the defences in order to protect ll e lives property and interests of the men women and children of canada particularly at a very dangerous per lod in the country s history when the upsurge of challenging policies caused andy clarke tkhthunlastic andy clarke who spreads the neigh- hourly
