cite question has been a sheer waste of precious time. Nothing that even the Prime Minister said has changed in the sIighteSt degree. The Legion- ary’: opinion, as expressed in the February is- sue-‘an unnecessary, undesirable, time-wasting, energy-consuming and costly measure.’ "

"That, however, is water over the dam. But the plebiscite isn't. Not yet. Having had it foisted upon us wholly against our wishes, we must accept it as a challenge. That, as The _Lz'g- ianary sees it, is the only way to look upon it realistically. What the Government has in mind doing if an affirmative vote i: recorded on April 27, we don't know. But we do know this: that if an affirmative vote is not recorded, then our Government will not introduce Total War in the sense our enemies practice it, including compulsory selective service, and with that port- ion of our manpower selected for military ser- vice obliged to go and fight the enemy wherever he may be- Therefore, we must not under any circumstances let our Government obtain that excuse. However much we dislike the whole plebiscite idea, we must not express our dislike by refraining from voting on April 27, or, still less, by recording a negative vote- \Ve must turn out in full force ——all of us Legionaries, our wives and eligible children, and all our friends and neighbours and work-mates whom we are in a position to influence; and we must give such an overwhelming YES-vote to the plebiscite ques- tion that the Government will know in unmis- takable terms where the people of Canada stand in the matter of their own survival."

The London Naval Treaty signed this date I930 by which the British Empire. the United States and japan undertook to proceed at once with the reduction of their capital ships; while the U. S. A., the British Empire, Japan, France and Italy also agreed to waive (during the years 1931-36 inclusive) the right granted by the Washington That); to,‘ replacf tibsolcsreitt ships.

Thomoral and psychological effect of an over- whelming “Yes" vote on April 27 will have wide repercussion helpful to success of the great and glorious cause whose issue is to determine whether for long decades the peoples of the Allied nations are t0 live iii freedom or in zibjcct slavery.

A cool reception was accorded by western farmers to the suggestion that they cease shipping such large numbers of livestock to the United States. These prairie men have had a tough time for about I0 years and the lucrative market across the border for their cattle has been one of the exceedingly few bright spots in their horizon. There is, however, a considerable shortage of beef in the Canadian market at this time. It may only be seasonal or spasmodic. If it really shows any sign of long duration federal action might have to be taken to protect the general price level against its effects.

APPEAL in “YES” yo? THE PI-EBISCITE

To The Electors 0f Queens County

The undersigned, having been the Candidates of l the Conservative Party, In this Constituency In 11,, last Federal Election, feel that there Is a duty upon them to urge upon all Conservatives that, putting aside Party considerations for the time being, [hey go to the polls on the 27th Instant and vote “Yes" m, the plebiscite to release the Government from past commitments with regard to the compulsory raising of men for war needs.

In taking this course we wish to make it very clear that we fully realize:- '

(a) That the voluntary act of the Government and Its Leader during the 1940 Election campaign, in pledging themselves to a course of action on the queg. tIon of compulsory service without reserving the right to modify that course according to the exigencies of the War was, as events have proved, unwarranted and unwise; and

(b) That in the light of what has since happened, the taking of a plebiscite is a wholly unnecessary pro. ceeding at. this time, and involves not. only the ex- penditure of millions of dollars of public moneys but delays the efficient prosecution of the War at a time when any delay may be fatal.

But the plebiscite has been ordered and will be taken whether we like It or not, and the consequences of ifnegative vote might. well be appalling In that it would be construed not only by the rest of the British Commonwealth but by our Allies as well as an In- timation that Canada was not prepared to make sac- rifices comparable to theirs In order to win the war.

We therefore, feel that now, as always and part1. cularly now, Conservatives everywhere must place the cause of Country above that of Party and do everything in their power to make sure that the Gov- ernment is freed from any restrictions. self-imposed or otherwise, that in any way hamper it from efficient- ly mobilizing the man-power of the Nation to meet our dire needs.

We, therefore, again ask all Conservatives on the plebiscite and to vote “Yes.” "Yes”' and we shall ask those who look vice to do the same.

f0 vote We shall vote to us for ad-
