As an alteiluative to the present administration electors could vote on March 26 next for men "the most of whom are without exper- ience in government and who are bound together by no common prin- ciifes or agreed policies."

Vl/aruing against any "vague sug- gestions of a. national government," Mr. MacKcnzic King urged the elcc- trrs to demand to know in advance who would form the administra- tion if they decided to entrust the ‘rr-zpnnsibillty of office to new hands.

"They must also be prepared. with a. sense lo: national unity and the ideal of international good-will, to face the problems of peace. l "The declaion is yours.
