Living (Killed in Action in Italy> Durham Voters Warned No More Free EnterDrise There wvas certainly n10 mistake about where the CCP candidates for Durham County stand in the present election con- tests for they were told plainly fromn the public platform at the nominating conven- tion at Orono. The Pederal candidate, Mr. Bowles, stated lie was a Soialist and proud of if, and hoped some day their cause would triumph. The Provincial candidate, Mr. Lycett, stated flatly lie was opposed to free enterprise. The chairinan of the meeting went furfher in indicating that ahl who op- posed the OCC were Fascists. These state- ments and professions of faith now sliould be made known for the information of those who ivili vote on June 4 and June 11. Indeed they miglit induce many who are indifferent to change their minds and get out and exercise their franchise. The CCF Manifesto of 1934 states that Socialism wil be infroduced when control of the Staf e is achieved even if dictatorship is necessarv in setting up flie new economie and social system, and the founder, Woodsworth, speaking in Parliament said: "If may very well be that Force may prove inevitable." With force and dictatorship, ther-? goes your freedom. As an avowed Socialist, Mr. Bowles thus stands with these pronoum- cements. Your chance to vote for or against Mr. Bowles falîs on Junie il. The Economic Committee, League of Na- tions, reports this: "The So-called capital- ist countries, Britain, U.S.A., Canada, with less than 10 per cent of the world's popula- tion, produces 60 per cent of tlic world's in- dustrial production." That is free enter- prise wvhieh lias brouglit more comforts to the wonld in the last 30 years than in the last 2000. Farming, is one of the first and basic forms of free enterprise. Parmers won't bow to dictation unless by force which was indicated by Woodsworth, the founder of the CCF. Candidate Lycett is avowedly againsf free 'enterprise and hence would de- sfroy if. Farmers, indeed ail voters wvil1 have their chance on June 4, to vote for or against Mr. Lycett. Canada's Post War Trade Our Immediate Concern A f'ew informed leaders in Canada are now seeking to awaken public opinion f0 the imminence of Canada's needs to find outlets for lier production, soon to change gradually from war's requirements to peace- time demands. Notable ini this connection was the address delivered recently bxy R. C. Berkinshaw, General Manager, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of Canada, be- fore the Oshawa Rotary Club. The editor who wvas presenf, felt that this remarkable contribution needed wider attention and ac- cordingly the address, great]y condensed for lack of space, is reported in tliis issue of The Stafesman. Mr. Berkinshaw, it will be observed, de- veloped thc thesis that expanded markets bofh at home and abroad, ,vere the keys to Oanada's confinued prosperity. But lie1 poinfcd ont the difficulties due f0 changcd conditions, which we shial meet ini our eni- deavor to achieve our ulfimate ains.

The people knlow flic answers f0 flic ques- tions poscd above and no one knows fhcm better thian Mr. King. Just top keep flic record straiglît eoncerning "experience" anîd "cabinet"' wc should recalliese facfs: King 's total tenure as Prime Minister, de- feafed twice, and several times pcrsonally, extends, just over 18 years. John Brackeîî, undefcated at anv fime, lield lis Premiership for more fhaîî 20 years, two years longer flan King, and yet lie asIfs, "whire is any leader of expeienice?" As w-e have said be- fore. age is creepiag upon Mr. King anîd lie appears f0 forget and reverse ]îîniself in înanv instanices of late. Is if possible fliaf Mr. Kin g lias really forg-otten tfli Bracken record? And who will formflic Brackl-eii Cabinet? Thie answcn is equally plain. Brackcai lias aftracfed fo lis side inaîîy of flic vers- men w-ho have dirccfed Canada 's war effort both from opposition benches and as experts called by Mn. King himself fo lî.elp Ihim de- cide poicy. Mcn ike MeTague and Bon- dcn and a score or more Progressive Cou- servatives, have scrved without pay at Mr. King's nequcsf. The story lias been f old by Mn. Cardini, longest supporter in Lîberal rnks of Mn. King. He said not a sfcp was takea by flic King Goverament uîîless fore- cd by flic Opposition. Now ail these able men are squarely bchind Brackeni. If flîev have actually donc flicw-ork of flic Cabinet as Cardin insisfs, thea they ouglif te be flic Cabinet ini facf as w-cil as effeef.

John Bracken -the Farmer - was accepting the leadership of a great resurgent people's party. Ini ring- ing tones hie was speak- ing of "The People's Charter". And the soul- searching sincerity of this man of the soul, with his vision of Canada, of Canadians and the "world of plenty that lies within our grasp" was deeply moving. Picture the background of this man - this moment John Bracken, the farmi boy, on lis father's farnminI Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in tlic wood, plcwing t hen young Bracken, honours student at tlie Ontario Agricultural College .going te Manitoba as represent- ative of the Department of Agriculture . . . on to Saskatchiewan as Superintendent cf Pairs and Farmera' institutes and Secretary of flic Provincial Livestock Association. . . then, later, John Bracken, author, writing books about farms, farming, farmers ... And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the farmer, is speaking of "the niglit of farmers and other primary producers to a fair share cf the nation's income."l Notice fhe simplicity cf the language hie uses, clean, concise - sincere. "During the hast decade," he is saying, <farin income fell te such a low average as te become cf very great concern in our Canadian economy. If is flie responsi- bility cf the nation te see fIat this great inequity shal net be perpetuated.". TIen, suddenly his voice rises, becemes even clearer, more incisive, "I may say quite frankly fIat if if had nof; been for that phank in your platform which pro- Vides for g square deal for agriculture, I would flot be here." Two years later, in Aliston, Ontario, - again the saine simplicity, the meving sincenity. "I arn an agrarian,"1 said John Bracken, "and I arna. Canadian. . . wlio seeka te correct the m«jor social injustice of our day -thle unfairly small shane cf the national income that goesto farinera and farin women and farm workers." Then, witli a statesman's enlarge- nient cf vision, lie added, "When the injustice to the farmer is removed, flic ecenomy cf Canada as a wliole will be sfrengfhened." No one could be less parodhiai in bis ouflook -more deeply concerned with national welfare than John Bracken, tlic farmer who embarked twenty years ago on a career so successful as to be without precedent in contemporary political history wifhin the Britishi Com- mionwealth cf Nations.

It may be a farm, a store or a lumber-yard; an architect's office or a service station. Taken together, these individual enter. prises provide a very substantial part cf Canada's total jobs-must continue te, do so after the war. Duîing the years ahead many people who dropped small business for war reasons wili want te return te their accustomed or new ways of making a living. Thus old businesses wili be revived. Many new ones will be started by returned men and people now in war indus- tries. The commercial banks will do their part te afford assurance that ne sound credit requirement need be left unserved in the field cf small business. As such businossos grow, they create additional job openings; that has been the pattern cf Canadian enter- prises. Most large cempanies began in a small way. And practically ail could name seme bank which played a part in their grewth by providing the loans they needed te, finance their day-to-day operatiens. Your bank stands roady te serve businesses, small or large, well established or just starting eut. Banks do not initiate sucli businesses-but they do furnish neces. sary working capital and many other forms cf banking service.
