Canada, meet together as hanored guests in the odest city in America at the aid- est College in America which wil confer on each of them the hon- orary degree of Doctor o! Laws. The city is Williamsburg, Virgin- ia, andi the College is the William and Mary Academy in that city. The occasion is receiving much notice in the press at 'home and abroad for Williamsburg was the centre, almost the birthplace of freedom in pre - revolutionary deys in America. The conferring of these degrees on the highest goverriment figures marks a per- bod when freedom is being threat- eneci. Born at Tyrone It is notable that on this occa-j sion an aid Durham Couinty boy, Joe E. Osborne. age 84, xiii have a praminent part ta piay in the Williamsburg gathering. For he is the editor and proprietor of the Virginia Gazette of Williams- burg, the oidest noxvspaper in America, and lie xii report the proceedings in persan for he is stili active and vigorous in get- t'ing out each issue .Mr. Osborne %vas born on a farm near Tý rame and after a distinguishcd career in Canadian journalism lie went ta the U.S.A. and in due coursec pLirchased the Virginia Gazette. For many y-ears Mr. Osborne bas carried on correspondence with the editor of The Statesman. His iatest letter. vritten in his own hanci, tells many details of the program arrangeri for the re- ceptian aof t he distinguished guests ta be honored bx- William and Mary College. He describes the beautios Of Unfolding springt in famed Virginia and looks for- ward ta the visit af the Governor General and the Prime Minister.

He bad ail the attributes a! a successful politi- clan but bis interests were in sports. He ioved kids, worked bard for them. He got a great kick out o! watching two teame in action, whether hockeybaseball, personai inteî'ests were in octdoor sports. Back a few years ago he was a golf enthusiast. H-e learn- ed the love of the outdoars from bis father and deer bunting andi trout fishing were twa popular pastimes. He died at 84 and even at late as last spring, be was one o! the first an the streams on the first of May. Orme's invitation ta us each spring was the came: "*Yau bring the sandwiches and l'Il show you the pools. You'x'e gat ta catch the tî'out yourself."

Admission: TIME FOR DECISION NEW SERIES, ARTICLE 25 In former articles we have sketched the main highlights ini the career of John Bracken who now leads the Progressive Con- servative Party into the approaching Dominion election. The facto net forth have carried the story from his brilliant college course through 10 years of leadership in western u.niversities, teachmng the science of agriculture, into an unbroken period of 21 yeare as Premier of Manitoba. CLEAR AND HONEST COURSE It has been pointed out that these positions of influence and trust came to Bracken without his solicitation and in the case of the Premiership, against his wish. It has also been pointed out how great a success he achieved in these undertakings. His rec- ord in these public responsibilities marked a leadership f ew othere have attained in contemporary times. In this entire period of almost 32 years his course hae remained clear and honest. TIME TESTED TALENTS We have viewed this record of success de parallel to the sound management of big business and no business is bigger, none more complex than the business of government. The office of Premier is one requiring ail the talents of a general manager, the ability to develop sound policies, the capacity to give them effect, the art of getting along with others, the driving force of real leadership. Bracken won unswerving public confidence in adhering to these attributes. OLD PARTY REVIVEL Then came December 1942. The national Conservative Party which, following Confederation, had launched a National Policy that set Canada on the road to progress, agreed fully with the proposition that a new era was in prospect after victory was achieved in the war against Germany. Hence the Conservatives at the Port Hope convention sought to chart a revised course and evolve a new national policy. In convention at Winnipeg in December, 1942, this new policy was given expression. NEW LEADER SOUGHT Here again was the old problem of choosing a general manager to give effect, ultimately, to the new policy. Logically the right thing to do was to invite the man with the most succeseful record to take an the job. The man favored by the new-policy school was John Bracken, Premier of Manitoba. He was approach- ed but declined as he had previously done when the farmers of Manitoba urged him to lead them when they came to power. For the third time the job sought the man. BRACKEN A GAIN DRAFTED Finally Bracken consented to have his name proposed at the convention, but With one clear stipulation. He demanded that the term "Progressive" should be a party designation to emphasize the new spirit and the new policy envisioned. The "progressive" banner was the one he carried successfully for so long in Manitoba that he declined to lower it for anyr interest, any party. Thus with unonimaus acclaim he became the national leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. STUDIES THE FIELD In hie speech of acceptance, Bracken stated emphatically that 'had the f arma plank been absent from the new policy he would neyer have permitted his name to, go before the conven- tion. Then, having taken on his new task in an old sphere but in a new field, Bracken set about learning the probleme of Cana- dians from coast to coast. He declined to enter the House until he had done this job. m Aduis 50c ISialin -Uses Hiiler's Meihods {By Lewis Milligan) If the democratic peoples out- side of the Iron Curtain were not so worried they would break into a united burst of laughter at same of the broadcasts from Moscow. The latest of these came in the form of a radio commentary on the five western European pow- ers' treaty of miiitary alliance drafted at Bruesels on March 12. A news dispatch reported the comment thus: 'Moscow radio immediately at- tacked the treaty, aseerting it wauld lack 'either legal force or international autharity' because the people of the cauntries con- cerned were not consulted." *It shouidn't be necessary to ex- plain a joke, but the comicality of this one seems to have escap- ed most people, or perhaps they recall having heard it in various forms before from the same quar- ter and from Communists here at home. These latter have frequ- ently appealed ta the law and die- manded their 'rights" under the Constitution - the very law andi Constitution which they are for- ever denouncing and wauid abol- ish if they got, the chance. But coming from Moscow, this appeai to demaocratic iaw and interna- tional authority is too funny for words. By what human iaw or international authority did the Soviet annex the Balkan states. and by what authority does it hold in thrall Polanci, Hungary, Western Germany, and now Czec- hoslovakia and Finland-to say nothing of Northern Korea? Were the "people of the countries con- cerned consulteci?" The Soviet leaders should be the very last to talk about con- suiting the people, for they con- suit nobody but themselves and their insatiable greed for dictator- ship. To them the people are as cattie to be driven and beasts of burden ta carry out their perpet- ual five-year-plans, for which there is no hope or reward in this world or the next. In the light of what lias and is now happening in Eastern Eu- rope, everything we said about Hitier appiies wîth even greater force and truth ta Stalin. Every- thing we declared we were figh t- ing for in the last war bas gone with the wind, and Stalin has tak- en over the role of the man we biasted from the stage. That is a monstrous practical joke on the human race, andi it isn't a bit fun- ny. It is a burlesque on the story of the Good Samaritan. The man who fell among thieves has himself turned bandit. Personally I was neyer in favor of aur going ta the aid of Rus- sia, and when I first heard the news that Churchill and Roose- velt had decided to make common cause with Soviet I instinctive- ly feit that a tragic mistake baci been made. Stalin had already made a pact with Hitler to divide the spoils of falien Europe; they were bath international gangsters and when we had finaily disposed of one of them the other imme- diately turned on the prastrate victim. And now we are dispiaying more fear of Stalin than we did R.W. Bail & Son T A UN TOIlN j Phone Oshawa 163 W (reverse charges) FREE DELIVERY -'-p 1 nRÈu 1a1i o n GIVES ALL-WEATHER COMFORT!

The Soviet has not only a fully mobilized military force that could sweep acrase Europe at a moment's notice, but it also has highly organized and trained fifth coiumns prepared ta seize poli- tical power in every country in the world. Fortunately we are now full., axake to the peril. The people of the United States are not on the sidelines this time; they are in the arena and full of fight, and they have the atomic bomb. That is the only thing Sta- lin fears. He has no fear of the United Nations, for bis use of the veto has rcndered that body pow- erless to come to any decision or to take an *' action not endorsed by the Soviet delegate.
