in an interview with The Guard- ian on the eve of her departure from the Island. Mice Hilda Hes- son. chairman and tletional dir- ector of the Progressive Conservat- ive Wemenb Association of Can- ada, stated that one of the basic purposes of the Association is to get mom women into public life and to stimulate greater interest in the government of the country. Miss Heseon has just completed an extensive tour of the Marti-lines and she explained that the two main objects of her teur have been in get men sand women working inore closely together in the af- fairs of government, end,to get women elected to some ofAha of- ficial positions of the Progressive Conservative Party. She wee par- ticularly pleased to hear that at a meeting held in O'Leary last Wed- nesday, Mrs. Alfred, Giliia, of Al- berton. was elected vice-president of the West Prince organization. Miss Hesson expressed the hope that eventually there . would be formed e/Wcmenb Maritime As- sociation of the party. At present there are nine active clubs in Nova Bcotic. ' In her tour of Prince Edwardds- land Miss Hesson visited and spoke at Tlgnish, Alberton, 0'- Leary, Bonshaw, Rustico, Hunter River, Montague, Summeraide and arlottetown. She found that the regressive Conservative women of

the Province were extremely inter-

ested in the idea of a women'a_as- sociation. The idea was. however, comparatively new to them. Miss Hesson found a growing awareness amo women of their importance in the political life of the country.

She remarked that the Charlotte- town women's organization under the able leadership of Mrs. R. E. Sutherland is very active at pres- ent. and that when it was found- ed it was the first association of its kind in the Province. Recently summerside fonrned an association for Prince County under the pres- idency cf Mrs. E. T. Tanton. _

Miss Hesson. a fonner city al- derman in Winnipeg. to date has had most. of her speaking engage- ments in;the Marittmes, but shc expects to tour the Canadian West next fall.

HALIFAX, June Id - (OP) — The Canadian Federation of Meyers and Municipalities con- cluded annual jessions iherre today after hearing ‘a United States newppapec mm advise that "you ebould b!!! I little" about Can- ada. The meetings began ‘Tuesday-

Quebec was selected for the 12th annual meeting of the Fed- eration next year and Mayor Lu- cien Borne of that city was elect- ad president to succeed Mayor Ray T. Forbes of Fredericton. London, Ont., was runner-up for the conference lite.

Although the ‘official themrwas "responsible municipal govern- rnent: Democracy! best weapon", (housing evoked the most lively debate. originally, closing sessions were scheduled for tomorrow but the some 350 delegat were able to‘c1ean up business in a last-day spurt.

Speaking at a luncheon given by Moncton, NB, George W. Welsh, president of the United States Conference of Mayors and chief magistrate of Grand Rap-

A. F‘. Blake, president of the saint John. N.B., Board of Trade, said he felt the present old as! pension plan was unsatisfactory because of the means test.

C. J. Burchell of Halifax and A. N’. McDonald of Glace Bay said workers receiving company pen- sions shouid also be entitled to old age pensions.

Sessions will continue tomorrow. The Maritime section of the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce and the Maritime Ttrssnportatien Com- mission also will hold meetings.

RUSSIAN

Continued from page l

By aea, the invasion routs would lie across the Bering Strait to Alaska, the defence of which was the problem cf the United, States. Presumably, the Amarican sea forces were sufficient to deal with any such‘ thrust.

The most likely direction of at- tack, then, was by air.

l-la coiild not say how many planes the soviet Union possessed. An air attack might involve 1,000 four-engined planes. The result would be that the planes would be lcet because they would not be ab.e to fly the full dis- tance back to their home bases. Any of their crews who landed would be captured or kill- ed.

"Thus." he said, would lose 1.000 planes,

"the Soviet if they

have 1,000 lanes of that type, which I dou t." . What Defence! Mai-Gen. 0.3.. Pearkal. v.0.

(PC - Nanaimo) asked wihat de- fences Canada would have to re- pel the air invaders. He presumed they would be escorffid by fight- er planes and would. not crash and be destroyed of their own ao- cord.

Mr. Ciaxton said he knew of no fighter plane with a. cruising ra- dius of 4,000 nules, which would be the distance involved to make iihc attack. These days, planes could fly to any spot on earth but

their bases. If the Soviets tried it, they would be destroyed "in a very short time."

"By whom?" interjeeted ED. Fulton (fi-Karnioope). “By Canadians," returned w. Ciaxton. ' Launching an important debate. with a COCO-sword statement, he iold the Commons the Govern- ment adheres to a "fiexlble” de- fence policy that visualized the chance of war at any time, but does not anticipate any push-but- ton conflict or any direct or heavy attack on Canada within the near future. The Minister declined to follow the United States into what he termed an "appalling" armaments race, but committed the forces to what appeared to be a mild ex- pansion in an attemipt to satisfy complaints of inadequacy. He pictured Canada's defence aims as threefold - to be ready to defend herself against sudden direct attack, to have a force schooled and equipped to act ll a. nucleus for "expansion, and to "work out with other free nations plane" for joint defence."
