PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JUNE 4, î~ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO l-ow to Maintain National Unity A few' yeai's ago. this editor as President of te Canadian Weekiv Nevispapeî's Asso- ciation, conceived the idea of printinig a series of lelters froin people froinicoast ta coast xvho ivere proinineilt iin the life of the nation ; men at the head of gaoerninient, ini- dustî'ialists, financiers, educationists, farm- ers, l)reaclilfrs and journaiists. A categorical question was nîailed ta encli : 'Howî, iii your opinion eau editars of weekly papers assist ini 'Makin ég Cantada a Better Place in whichi to Live and Work?" The idea cang-lit on and nmany letterý found their wýay into print in the w'eekiy papers acî'oss Canada. Opin- ions ranged wideiy but every anc carried constructive suggestions. Wc hiave kept the file. There vias no0 'crisis" those days, incre- ly the arthritie remunants of a vanishing de- pression and Canadians were looking ta bet- ter days and a generally fairer deai. The things that imiprcssed us most ini the ansviers viere the spantanîcty, enthusiasm and gen- uine coaperation that came from ail quarters, ail seets and nationalities. Cardinal Villen- cuve of Quebec expressed the same thonghts as Dr. H. J. Cody of the University of To- ronto. There vias no word from Dr. T. T. Shields wiuieh might introduce sand inta the bearings. As prepatary ta this editorial ail National Unity, wîe resurrected that aid file and reread those letters. Not a singyle anc breatlîed a word of dissentian. Most of thcm did nat even refer ta dual-language or "minorities" and ouly four or five consid- cred it apropos ta bnuch an the importance of National Unity. It wiii be abscrved, therefore, that ini nor- mail imes, even aur greatest thinkers and citizens took National Unity for grauted; that uathing eouid be eonceived in the fun- turc ta jeapardize it. We viere baskiîîg in the sunshine with "'Munich"' clouds even theit darkening the horizon and lia less a persan that Canada 's greatcst premier vins sittîng in1 secure authority witlî an aver- whclming mjarity aud thc fiag of National Unity îniled securely ta lis standard. Then came w'ar fallowed bv months of inactivit, foliowed by most 'savage ouslaughts ini western Europe tint echang-ed the vihole pattern of civilization. A policy of drift and temporization grad- ually led up ta inevitahie biekerings in par- liament and out, vithî mumblings and threats by lîot-heads beioîîgiîg ta secr'et societies and "isîîs" and puipit demagogues mare dangerotîs than internees as applied to'the tenets of wartiîne National EUitv-. Th en. ini n fit of> indecision, came the scintillntingt madness ta take the plebiscite. t vins ta test tNvuietlier Natianai Unity in w'rtime Canada ivas r'ock and steel or w'hat mnny ciaimed vins mereiy gossamer tlîreads vioven by politicians. The resuit hms novi been knovin for many' veeks and reaiists are pressing- for a shavidovin in pnriinment. The pencetime National Unity xhich vie refer- red ta above is gone vith the viind. Hot- heads are ciamaring tlieir wv toviard muin, civil strife and bloadsied. It mas happened before. Now wvhal eau w-e Canadians do about il? Tint is the questionî. Even in the midst of war, that is thc pnramon'nt, burning ques- liaot at thc moment in Ibis country. On tic lips of tic ank and file througi tuis com- muniti' is tic question, "Wiat is Mr. Kin, going ta do naxi?" sud lliey go on ta say, "We, here in tuis district, voted over 90 per cent 'y-cs' an tie piebiscite, and vic voted for 'conscriptiont' as vie uîiderstand it." 'Is our federni member vating in enucus accord- ing ta the vote of the people , or is be boy- ing ta tic tircats of n daminating pnrty leader?" Sa they naw viander first, "Whnt is Mm. King navi vaiting for?" and "Shahl we stand tagetier as a majarity and enfarce bolli tic ennelmnent and the law?" Tic thiug has become sa serions tint tie ablesîtiink- ers in Canada arc corferrîng tog-ether and groups of eanest patriots, aIl cool-iead.cd, serions people, are meeting at noons and at niglit ta find a passible solution.
