Dear 8ir,--Please allow me. the privilege of airing my views on the political situation from an absolute- ly independent point of view, My conclusions are drawn from a close survey of the last session of parlia- {ment, as printed in the Libeéral-Con- servative press. I do pot believe I can be disputed hen I state that the Conservative thelr efforts on a customs investiga- tion which cost the country dearly. To my mind I think they made a mistake, for this reason: Canada, with thousands of miles of territory bordering on the United States, al- ways had and will have ample op- portunity for a customs investiga- tion, no matter which party is in power, It is impossible to prohibit smug- gling between these two countries, and I state, without any reflection on the customs preventive officers, that at least fifty per cent. of Canadians who visit in the States do smuggling; some a great deal and others very little. Rt. Hon. Mr. Meighen knows this to be a fact, so does Hon. Mackenzie King, and any person who visits the States knows it. You can re-organ- ize the customs service and build a barricade from coast to coast, but smuggling will still go on. It is go- er, Hall- fax, Toronto, and it will always go on, and the higher the duty the more smuggling. So what I stated is a fact. How is it possible for the Rt. Hon, Mr. Meighen and followers to be going around the country preaching cus- toms scandal ? I think the real issue in this elec- tion is the record of the late gov- ernment, not the constitutional issue. I believe it was an error on the part of the governor-gemeral in not ac- cepting advice of the leader of the government and accepting the same advice from a different leader within a 'week, but I don't think anything like that is liable to occur again. The Conservatives have offered nothing constructive, they have wast- ed a full session on a customs scan- dal which any . reasonable buman knows does not exist any more to-day thah when they were in power. What have the Liberals and Pro- gressives done ? Reduced taxes (enough said) and times are much better than they have been in years. The Liberal party of Kingston must put a candidate in the fleld in this election. Must we sit back and allow an acclamation to a party that could finl nothing good to offer our fair land, and so contented them- selves with ruining the reputation Of great public men, when "they should have encouraged them ? There should be no acclamation; it Is the duty of each party to place candidates in the field in every, con- stituency and allow people to use fthely franchise, Yours truly, --J. B. Bamford.
