D A (C'Mu' A , J&XE Â THIE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARCH 28th, 1946 Eracken Urges Empire Cohesion Revised Farm Production Plan In a twa-hour address in the House of Commons, March 18, John Bracken, leader af the off i- cial Progressive Conservative op- position, reviewed gavernment palicies as set forth in the Speech From the Throne, and concluded with a stirrîng appeal that Can- ada should continue a course in world affairs resolutely at the side of Britain within the framework of. the Commonwealth as the surest means ta uphald the UNO and effect universal peace and prosperity. We give extracts from his peroration which indicate clearly a position measuring up ta high statesmanship. In general criticism af govern- ment policy, or lack of it, Mr. Bracken suggested means of in- creasing food production. He urged utilizing a greater percen- tage of fallow land for raising wheat Which is supreme in caiory content and at the same time as- sured that this would in no way decrease production of livestock. He held that price revision and more farm labor at reasonable wages were key factors toward greater production. But the fol- lowing summary af his remarks on foreign policy is one that de- serves more than passing inter- est for ail Canadians. Canada's JRole Mr. Bracken asked, "Whjat is aur role ta be?" in the develap- ments now becoming very appar- ent. He said: "We stili have an- other fight ta win; this time a bat- tie for pence, quite as urgent, quite as difficuit and in some res- pects harder ta fight than the bat- tie for victory in war; a stubborn battie for pence and progress among men; a battie against the causes of war and paverty and pestilence in the world. We must now by sanity, disarm nggressian, substitute production for destruc- tion and settie aur international dispute not by the blood of aur sans but by the force af reason." He painted ta Cannda's present geographic position. Due ta con- traction of space under the science of aeronautics, "Canada has sud- denly discovered herself to be the geographic and strategic centre of the continents. Any global map shows us we are in the cen- tre of the great land masses of the world and hostile agents can search us out between dawn and dusk from any angle of the com- pass. Geography has become at once our greatest danger, our 'greatest challenge. We have no choice but to throw our weîght, positively, in the direction of peace and order in the world." Appeasers Caliing for a separate Ministry for the Dept. of External Affairs, Mr. Bracken continued: "Com- placency in the past has been the scourge of aur generation. Can- ada is now invested with the mor- al responsibility for sharing the price of world peace. Unless we are true to the sacrifices of our sons we will be equally guilty with aggressors for any anarchy that may again confront us. Our default was not wholly in lack of milîtary preparation. People preached about rights but littie was heard of responsibilities. In our midst were people who exaît- ed novel and foreign types of go- vernment, condemned British in- stitutions upon which our Cana- dian way of life was built." "The ultimate solution, of course is, a world governm1ent, but humanity will have a long, hard road to travel before that utopian objective is achieved. Meantime parliament must shape the course of Canada along that road. We see a world dividing into blocs and spheres of influ- ence. There are now three great powers. Does anyone wish to see them reduced to two? It would become a contest for world domination with Canada forced into the front line." British Unity "I suggest, therefore, that the preservation and strengthening of the British Commonwealth is the best hope in a worid dominat- DRIVE IN SAFETY Corne spring, you want ta get out and drive.

The turbo- electrie fast freighter in making ber initiai crossing of the North Atlantic ini Iess than seven and one-half days demonstrated the service which wili enable ber and three sister ships ta replace the original five vessels of the Beaver class which were lost during the war. A fine example of the latest developments in marine design and engineerine, the Beaverdeli features widespread use of electrical installaticsis. Her propelling unit is turbo- electric, in which steam generated electrical power at high voltage drives the motor which turns the propeller shaft. Electric winches aiso are used ta speed the transfer of cargocs bctween ship and shore. Almost anc quarter ed by three spheres of influence. Its organizatian by its very na- ture makes for pence, not for war. If we now fail that great famiiy of British nations and it becomes weaker, Canada will become a satellite of the U.S.A., at first ec- onomicaily, then palitically." Mr. Brncken said; "the choice rested on strengthening the British Com- monwealth or becaming a 49th state in the American union, n position that meant an islnnd in a potentially unfriendiy world." He concluded: "Let us streng- then the British Commonwealth, be proud ta acknowiedge aur faith in it. Let any nation that maises the ugiy prospect of des- traying pence know at once that we in Canada are a firm and loy- al partner within the family of British, nations but in the larger family of the United Nations as weil and that we are prepared ta take aur part in obligations with- in bath."

County Agricultural Committee Attends Meeting at Peterborcw A general famm meeting af county agrîcultural committees took place at Peterbomo, Saturday.

Representa- tives were present from districts extending from SimIcoe ta Len-c nax, tagether with officiais fmom1 the Provincial Depatment afI Agriculture. The chairman wasc B. G. Sullivan, director, regional1 employment service. The meeting was convened4. ta discuss increased production an, a maximum five-year basis. Bt the chief concern was that oft farmn labor. It was brought out( that the prospects for 1946 were af more,pronounced scamity af farmn help, and resolutions were adapt- ed pressing for a mare' eniighten- ed poiicy ta salve the difficulty. It is predicted that the resuit oaI the cqpference will be ta find mare rabor available before the rush seasan starts. Aside fromn considering waysÎ and medns for getting farm help the delegates discussed the prob- lem af permanence in farm em- playment. Revision af prices for farm pmoducts was the crux in ability ta pay wages currentiy demanded. Mr. Eiiiott, obsemved that the best investment hie had found in retaining permanent help had been ta provide a dam- fortable home for hired man and famiiy. One af the hopeful measures ta- ken in respect af farmi labor was the recent decîsion af National Emplayment Offices ta make clos- er contact with farmers wanting help. Aside from the expected influx af farmi labor from the west, the situation wili be reiiev- ed ta some extent by increasing discharges Iram the armed ser- vices. There will also be the us- ual help from students during summer holidays. But the gen- eral outlook is one af shartage for the year.

Deachma Winston Churchill's recent ad- fîress at Fulton, Missouri, was a masterpiece-one of the best in his whole career. It will be ac- cepted by a good many as a log- ical solution ta aur problem but the alliance between the British Commonwealth and the United States will not become an accam- plished fact, the United States is not ready-nat yet! We hear now the answerîng cry of the isolntionists. They are not going ta underwrite, so they say, Britain's Imperial Palicyà What Is Britain's Imperîi Policy? Brit- ain occupied certain territary ge- neratians aga. It is easier ta get into a game lîke that than ta get out. Britain wauld like now ta be clear of India, though there is danger in this-internal strife might well put that country back a hundred years. What comman purpose is there between the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race? The answer is in three words-both want peace. Neither wants ta farce its economic vîews, nor its political opinions upon the other or upon the rest of the world. No question of religion or caste lies between the two. Churchill pointed out that there is an alliance now be- tween Canada and the United States. There is, bath work ta- gether for a common purpose. We were going ta send a warship ta the Arctic in order ta test equip- ment in northern waters. The United States thought of the samne idea. An arrangement was made by whîch an observer from Can- ada went on the Amerîcan vessel. We wanted tests made of equip- ment which could be used in the Arctic. "Expedition Muskox" was organized, an American ob- server goes along. We have no- thing ta hide from each other- where could one find a better de- finition af friendship? By joint action we achieve what we are after, with a reduction in costs. Isn't thnt sensible? It is nt least realistic. If we can effect a sav- ing by united action why not do it. Fix clearly in your mind this one fact, democracies do not go ta war against each other. It hasn't happenefi in 100 years. It foliows then if ail countries were democratic there would be no war. The United States and the British Commonwealth are mar- ching along tagether. Their pal- icies are in the open, bath are aid enough and wise enough ta keep their promises whether made ta each other or ta any other na- tion or group of nations. They might as wel]. act together in open agreement with one primary ob- jective: "Pence on earth, gaod will ta men." An open alliance wîll not came -not now. Yet we may hope that common ideals, common views, even without a written agreement, will lead ta common action. We move forward ta the attninment of aur ideais hoping thnt, in time, other nations may draw dloser ta us in spirit and purpose for the building of a bet- ter world. Individualism and Collectivism "It is not possible ta draw a hard-and-fast line between itidi- viduaiism and coliectivism. You cannot drnw it either in theory or in practice. That is where the Socialist makes a mistake. Let us not imitate that mistake.... "Collectively we light aur streets and supply ourseives with wnter; callectively we indulge in- creasingly in ail the necessities af communication. But we do not make love collectively, and the ladies do not marry us cal- lectively, and we do not eat cal- lectively, and we do not die cal- significance is given rank and ti- tie. Next meeting will be heid April 17, with Mrs. McCullough conven- er. A speaker wiil be engaged for the day. An entertnining pragram fol- lowed, with Mrs. Redknap as con- vener and Mrs. Gilmer at the pi- ano for the singing of Tipperary. Mrs. Brown rendered a pretty in- strumental. Keen attention was given Mrs. Rowe as with clear emphasis she told the legend af St. Patrick. Mrs. Moronto and Mrs. Caswell, who were new ta a New- tonville audience, sang a duet which was well received. Mms. Haigh with the droli man- nçr characteristic of herseif, am- used her audience with reading Irom a book two or three extracts intermingied with much wit and humor. Little Gloria Lane and brother Billy deiighted their aud- ience with a duet, "I Belong ta the King," the bay's alto blending in perfect rhythm with the child- ish voice af his tiny sister. These children give promise of marked musical talent. The mather, Mrs. C. Lane, played the accampani- ment. Mrs. Dunn, wearing a becom- ing green gawn, charmed her au- dience with the sang "Wheme the River Shanon Flows." Mrs. Dunn. has a voice af rare menit. Mrs. Gilmer played the accampan- iment. Mrs. Brown sang "I'l Take You Home Again Kathleen," playing her own accompaniment. Mrs. Brown's talent is always en- joyed. Tea was semved ta over 100 guests. The long table extending across the room had pretty dec- orations in the taditional green, potted flowering shamrocks, bath pink and white, green centres af large paper shamrock leaves, with smaller ones scattered over the cloth and green candlesticks. The realistic artificial flowers loaned by Mrs. Smith af the par- sonage, did much ta brighten the decorative scheme af the room. Noticed among the audience were Mrs. Gibson, press corres- pondent; Mrs. Hancock and Mrs. Cowan, Newcastle. Officials af the Institute wish ta thank all who attended, as with- out your presence the effort put forth would have been of little avail. Cpi.
