The effort to look cheerful while boarding the bus at 8.15 has taken its toll.

Encourâ€" agement of this type of training would go a long way toward buildâ€" ing a practical and potent plan of national defence, for naturally anyone coming under the benefits of this scheme would want to be prepared to play his part in the defence of his country should the occasion arise. The second poirt is that the auxiliary air force, according to a return brought down in the House of Commons, consists of some 600 personnel of all ranks. This is a lamentable tragedy, but one about which little is apparently being done. Many auxiliary squadâ€" rons exist only on paper, and many others have entirely inadequate training facilities while communiâ€" ties across Canada await eagerly for word of an auxiliary squadâ€" ron being located, in actual fact, in their district. The young veterans of World War II are being cooled off and disillusioned _ with this ‘callous treatment, and the day is not far off when the pool of trained pilots built up by the BCATP will become nothing but dustâ€"gathering paraâ€" graphs in Ristory. No better inâ€" vestment of taxpayers‘ money could be made, than in a properly coâ€"ordinated and .active auxiliary airforce, properly equipped and ‘recognized asâ€"aâ€"part of our national defence pattern. We have the manpower and the skill. We lack the encouragement and the assistance of the governâ€" merft. Our present policy neither develops Canada, nor defends it. Veteran of the R.A.F. in World War I, and consistently astaunch supporter of civil aviation, Rodney Adamson, member for York West in the Federal House of Commons, is well qualified to add his voice in support of the continued effort of "Aireraft and Airport" to rouse the government to do something about our aviation industry before it is too late. Every healthy young Canadian who wishes to fly, should be enâ€" couraged to do so and assisted so that he might make the contribuâ€" tion to his country‘s welfare that he can make as an airâ€"minded, alert and progressive citizen. As no other country does ,.we deâ€" pendâ€" on the airplane for our national defence. As no other country does, we depend on the airplane for our national development. â€" Associs tion Chals "Rural life among hard working, happy people disqualifies the farmer to prescribe a remedy for city ills, but his offâ€"hand opinion is that the poog}o of cities would be happier and healthier in smaller places and in the country ; that a healthful day‘s work each day and more time in their homes each evening would make their working days happier and their leisure time a source of satisfaction and contentment. The sadness which sits on cities could be relieved by more constructive perâ€" sonal activity and less pressure of people." . Oof! Mr. Atkins packs a human punch. Would any sad suburbanites care to deliver an answer via this paper? At the moment we‘re too busy trying to develop a cheerful attitude towards the pile of work on our desk to return the retort crushing. Allan Histed, noted Canadian Labor leader, president of the Hamilton and District Trades and Labor Council, has announced his intenâ€" tion of seeking nomination as Progressive Conservative candidate for the riding of Hamilton East. ~~~~ & If there be those who find surprise in this, surprise that an outstanding Canadian Labor leader should be linking up with the Conâ€" servative party, then they are not very deep in the Conservative party‘s history. _ _ _ It was the Conservative party, under John A. Macdonald, which first gave legislative recognition to unions in this countryâ€"this at a time when most people were fighting unions. It was the Conservative party which, under George Drew in Ontario, gave Canada the fairest and best labor code this or any other country has known. And in the platâ€" form of the Conservative party today is a labor plank which not only comes out squareâ€" ly for unions but declares for their right to bargain collectivelyâ€"and to bargain collecâ€" tively with their own chosen agency. c "Some find sufficient cocktails before dinâ€" ner to make them forget the futilit{mot their lives, Others find escape in movies, but a few stay at home and sink into deeper sadness.

I think it will be recalled by most Canadians that I urged the Government to take the initiative in finding some way by which our goods could be sold to our normal overseas markets. I pointed out that if a solution to this probléem were not found we faced possible disaster. The very severe drop in trade was. also pointed out to the Government on more than one occasion. Nevertheless, Mr. St. Laurent, not only implies that we did nothing to emphasize the importance of this matâ€" ter while Parliament wasâ€"sitting, but he now tells us that the &overnment has been meeting this problem successfaily since e war. "Let us just look at a few of the figures to see what has been happening. Our exports to Britain last year were down 67 million dollars from 1947. Some of the items which" go into that total will also illustrate very clearly what is happenâ€" ing. In March of this year (1949) Canada exported $1,100,000 worth of ham and bacon to Britain. In March last year (1948) we exported $10,300,000 worth. In March of this year we exported practically no eggs, while in the same month last year we exported $4,300,000 worth. So the story goes with lumber, fish, cheese, apples and most of our important exports. "The figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics today explain why it is so necessary that there be a change of Covernment on June the 27th. In a single month our trade balance slumped nearly 51 million dollars and yet the Leader of the Liberal Party tells us that our trade outlook was never ‘Are You Doing Your Part To Alter Dangerous Trend "Compare that statement with the announcement by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics this afternoon, that Canada‘s balance of foreign trade in March alone this year slumped nearly $51 million dollars as compared with March, 1948. Thus the figures issued by this extremely accurate and efficient branch of the Government service shows very clearly that the statements of Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Howe have no relation to the facts. â€" 2s _ "In the face of those facts.Js%St. Laurent tells us that “gagada’s trade outlook is far buighter than it was at the end of the war." "We have indicated clearly what we will do to stimulate trade. We will take immediate steps to recapture and expand our overseas markets, while at the same time encouraging all our export business by placing the Canadian dollar at its actual value in international exchange, as we can do within the terms of the Bretton Woods Agreement." "That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." A drunken man is one whose senses have been temporarily impaired by introâ€" duction of alcohol into the blood stream. _ In a sense he is ill. When he tries to walk navigation is difficult, his sense of direction fails him. His mental reflexes are dulled, his conâ€" ceptions are vague, often his memory becomes nonexistent. Politically, a great many people throughout the world, are like people drugged or drunk. They are confused and faltering because there has entered into their minds a drug more deadly than opium, an enervating influence more tricky than whisky. We refer to apathy. The political apathy of millions lead to the Hitlerian era, the rape of Czechoslovakia, the state of affairs which has led many British people to come to Canada for a new start. Your Editor, trying personally to shake off the political apathy which held him for years, spent six months trying to put his political philosophy onto paper. Years of training as a writer, nearly a third of a century as an observer, should make it easy for a man to write his political creed. The pages piled up, dropped to the floor, were scrapped and abandoned.~Why ?~â€"Down the years in the sitence of the night there reâ€"echoed the words which begin this editorial. Our ninety pages boiled down to just that. No more. It was like the cool fresh air of sanity after a long drinking bout. Faced today with a major political decision, let each Canadian search his soul, take a clearâ€"headed view of the past experiences and look into the future. Under socialism, be it the fast kind or the slow, people become not loyal subjects but just plain subjects. They cease to be "people" and become "citizens". They no longer govern nor are they governed for. They are just plain governed. Every sane man in Canada must throw off his apathy, look the simple facts in the face, learn the lesson of the history of Europe since 1930 and go out and do something about it. And we don‘t mean merely marking our own ballots. We mean using every ounce of being to influence others who have not yet thrown off their apathy.
