At ‘trinity, following the twc minutes silence and "Last. Post‘ and Reveille, the Ministcr. the Rev. T.-E. mLennan, himself a vet- eran of World War One, welcomed the veterans to the service hone:- ing those who gave their lives on active service for freedom of man- kind.

"The right to vote is the found- ation of dOmCKifssny and the exer- cise of that right is a necessary part of citizenship. The Legion feels that its members have justi- ned their interest in the preserva-

the battlefields of World Wars I and II. we make no apology for saying to people generally, and to our branches in particular ‘When an election or lebiscite is being held, take the time and make the effort to go and cast your ballot’.

"We feel the democ savy is in more danger from the apathy of citizens at home than from the enmity of foes abroad." Commun- ism cannot damage a democracy whose citizens are alert and active in taking part in all democratic functions. To shout ‘Down with Communism’, and then neglect the first duty of a. citizen in a demo- cracy. that is. exercising the right of choice by ballot, is sheer hypo- crisy. We fear that public indif- ference may result in small our.- oritles legislating for all of us. The percentage of registered vot- ers who voted in the last plebis- cite confirms this.

Importance of Franchise

"Regardless of how the voting goes we want our citizens to be citizens and to empress their-choice, and wewsnt as large s. number to do so as possible The minute men and women in a free democracy lose interest in how their country is governed. and neglect to exer- cise their franchise.

Expeet Russia Will Continue Peace Offensive

__d

I (By John M. lllghtower)

WASHINGTON, June ID-(AP) -This Soviet peace offensive against the United States seems likely to go on for another six to nine months.

That is the view of Unltcd States Government experts on the question "whst will the Russians do next?" .

It also is approximately the ides expressed by the Communist-s themselves. An article in a French Communist magazine. “N- tebook of Communism". has had considerable influence on thinking at the State Department. '

The main point of this article. which has the voluminous title "the theoretical foundations of the peace policy of the Soviet Union". is that the proclaiming of a desire for peace now is the dominant method of Soviet diplomacy.

American officials suggest that the Russians are bound to follow the peace offensive until early next year, chiefly for these reasons:

1. There is not uch else they can do. If they tryi any more ex- pansionist. political conquests they run into the danger of war.

2. They have failed with other tactics to make any new inroads into Western Europe, particularly France and Italy, since last fall. Thc peace offensive provides them with their but device for trying to split up the Western Rvwefl.

8. At the moment the Russians

are uncertain about the outcome of the American elections and their effect on congressional and dtlllll- matlc activity early next WM’- ey have something to gain b} impressing as many people favor- ably ss possible. . Against this background some uupiomatic experts see two phases of the United Statha foreign pol- icy operation thrown into ehsfP relief.

One is the ides of 69910411! 101'- aight policy as a Ill-PIP"!!! N0- ject. Senator Arthur Yandsnbers and stm secretary Marshall have co-opereted ti‘) date to create "the stop-aunts program." ~

ens, who do not vote, continua to expect that they will always have that right‘! »

"If people will not vote, than such people are not worthy of the fnnchlse. For this reason all 1c- gion branches and their members are urged to take a lead in their respective communities in ancpur aging people to vote at the com- ing plebiscite. Every Lcglonaire is urged. as s matter of honor to set a good example-we may well take pride in casting a vote which is the modem way of saying ‘I Choose’, when we recall that we offered our lives as a sacrifice, if need be. in order that the right to vote, along with the rights and‘ liberties of free democracy. might be maintained.

"At this particular time we would like to remind all Legion

bcrs throughout the Province to take a. keen interest in the Juno school meetings in their respective districts and to encourage others to do so as well.

"When the voting is over on June 28th and the returnsnre quickly flowing in as the results are learned, you. as a. voter, will probably empress your opinion on how the plebiscite resulted but be- fore you speak out loudly in criti- cising this or that side. remember that if you did not cast your bal- lot you have no authority for do- ing so. for the fact remains that you neglected to exercise your freedom and your power to vote in a free governing country.

Democratic Freedom

"When we think of the other countries throughout the world that are not resting at ease when

their freedom is at stake, then we

actually think and appreciate the fact that we were lucky to be born Canadians, lucky to enjoy that freedom which we all enjoy and lucky to be able to walk into our respective polls and cast a vote as our conscience guides our particu- lar case, then the Canadian voter and the voter 6n P.E.I. will get out and vote and must get out and vote in the Pleblscite on June 26th. -

“This duty is one we should not attempt to avoid, and it is especi- ally enioined upon us by the Do- minloxi Command. Therefore, let all Legionaires proclaim the motto ‘It is my duty and my right to vote, and I shall vote’.

"I am speaking tonight as one of" the Legion members from Prince County, a county which has ai- ways stood well to the fore in up- holding the rights of its citizens -on all public questions. We must not fbrget that, with every right, there is a corresponding duty; and we must accept and carry out our d/uty to vote, lest our rights be forfeited by- our neglect."

the most dramatic actions taken by the‘ United States have resulted dfrsotly- from earlier actions by the Russians. ' ' ' ' Many political authorities as well as some of the best informed tliipionlats are uncertain. for ex ample. whether the bi-partissn foreign policy leaders ever would have pushed the European Recov- ery Program through Congress without the “help” ‘of Russia.

Ark Easier-credit To Aid Housing -

HAL-FAX. June IB-Delegatee to the Maritime convention of the (Rnadisn Construction Association here today asked for easier bor- rowing programs and greater aid from Dominion. Provincial and municipal governments to bring about low cost housing.

Allan C. Ross of Ottawa, presi- dent of the parent group, told del- egates that the demand for cheap housing is a long-term proposition and cannot be satisfied in s year- cr two.

He advocated establishment of a public project board. "armed with $500.009.000 of Dominion and Pro- vincial funds."

The meeting decided to send ‘a delegation to discuss abolition of the sales tax on b ding materials with Financial Minster Abbott.

Federal assistance to the Prov- inces for development of a Trans- Oanada Highway was also urged. The builders said such s rosd would “have a considerable dran- ing power for much-needed United States dollars.’

Recital By Pupils 0f Hllss MaeKonzle

‘rhe widely varied and interest- ing musical program pfibited by the pupils of Miss Ullisn Mac‘- Kensle in the Kirk Rail on Friday evening, was well received by a large and appreciative audience.

The program opened with selec- tions by the Rbythm Band under the baton of Master Derek Dew, and. entered into with hearty ab- andon by the very young music- ians. Following this. the primary stuihnts played their solos with accurate memory and careful mus- ical interpretation.

Marked improvement was evid- encecl among the senior pupils. both in technical control and ex- pressive quality. Very enjoyable was the artistic playing of Nancy MecNevin in the Chopin Waltz in A flat, and Phyllis Tait in the Arietta. con Varazione. by Haydn. Nancy Hyndmen played the ‘rrum- pet Minuet by Grand with a re- straint and precision characteristic of the period in which it was com- posed. Maureen Bohaker by her eicpressive playing added renewed charm to the lovely Schumann ‘naumerel and Romania. Joyce Proctor gave s. delightful perform- ance of the Dance Caprice by Grieg. while Heather Lantz show- ed splendid versatility in the clas- sic Air from the French Suite by Bach. and the nicely contrasted To Swine. by Cries-

Unfortunately time permitted the playing of _only two movements from the Schumann Sonata, but in the Andsntino and Scherzo, Miss Louise Cox gave a flawless performance supported by s mat- ure depth cif feeling. Miss Cox si- so cleverly conveyed to the aud- ience the fiippant arid ironic hum- or of the noisily dissonsnt Shos- takovitch "Polka" from his Ballet L'Age D'Or.

Sweet tone and clear enunciat- ion were the outstanding features of the twp-part singing of the Girls Gallery Choir, while the vocal soloists gave much pleasure to the audience with fine rendit- ions of their selections.

At the close of the evening's entertainment, Mr. MacLaren spoke briefly in appreciation of the ex- oellen-t work being done in the City by Miss Mackenzie. not only among her private pivplis but in connection with the Prince Street School music and choir work as well. Little Rosemary Bohaker then presented Miss MacKenzle with a gift of sterling on behalf of the pupils.
