-No unprejlliliced citizen could have heard Mr. iBell without being persundoil as to what his obligation is on September 14. That obliga- tion is to vote for honest Government and to vote for stable Government by voting against tho party of Mr. Mackenzie King. I i It ‘

lloncst Government and stable Government are the country's vital tieeiis. The record of Mackenzie King and his associates in connection with the Customs scandal as well as their dependence upon Progressives makes it clear that. iMr. ‘King can give this country neither. The men who were too weak or too inefficient: or too lax to prevent fraud in the Customs department in the past afford no guarantee whatever that they will be strong enough or efficient enough to prevent fraud in that de- partment in the future. And the alliance which Mr. King has made with all sorts of groups—li.i<‘.i).'s and U.T.A.‘s and dﬁogrosslves end lie-celled Lahorites like Woodsworth; not to mention separatists like Bonrasszr-mako it, still more clear that iMr. King cannot give this country stable Government. they require no argument.
