MR. RALSTOWS OPINION

Just before Christmas, Mr. Ral- sfon spoke before the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, New York. I-fe spoke on "Home Obstacles to Recovery." An admirable speech, logical, well-reasoned, it contained. among other things, this:

"I don't intend to make you

green with envy by going into par- ticulars today to show you what a Rreat country Canada is. I shall con- tent myself and relieve your feel- ings by saying at once that I have read the speeches which have been made to you by the Hon. Mr. Tas- chereau, Prime Minister of Que- bec; the Hon. Mr. Lapointe, and the Hon. Mr. Guthrie, both Ministers of J115Il¢€—i\i- different times—and the Hon. Mr. Rhodes, Minister of Fin- ance. I have read every word they have said about Canada. and I hem and now declare to you that l ad- mit it all. even though I seldom agree with anything which two of those four gentlemen ever say in the Houseof Commons." MY- RBIs-ton was not than speak- ing as Opposition financial critic. He was not doing a job. and be- cause he wasn't, because he was under no necessity of attuning his Words and mood to a political tradi- tion. he discussed Canadian and world problems with good sense 3nd reason.
