_ Youth Loader l Scores Party's * Policy Failure

OTTAWA, Sept. 29-(CP)—-Can. didates for the Progressive Con- servative Party leadership were told bluntly tonight the party must enunciate something specific to replace a policy that "has been so ambiguous, so vague, so un- specific, that nriyong could take lt to mean almost anything."

The statement came from Allan

l

- ional president of the party's ' Student Federation ahd a student .. at the University of Toronto. In a speech prepared for deliv- ery at a Federation banquet at- tended by the candidates, retiring leader John Bracken and others, Mr. Lawrence said "many of us are highly critical of the lack of pol- icy" in the party. f lt had been “steadily losing sup- ; _' port of all the diverse elements" needed for victory. “ff we con- tinue feeding the public the vagar- ies and double-talk which we have called Policy in tho'“paat, the partyi- as a dominating, vigorous political force, is and will be finished."

_ To recapture the confidence of the man-in-the-strest-“ws certain- ly haven't -got it now"-the new

i leader and the party must defin- itely take a stand "on such politi-

_ cal dynamite as oieomargarina or butter imports, a complet social security scheme, a far-seeing tax-

' i lll°ll POllCY. o. defence program and a housing scheme."

"virtually all the deie ates" of Prince Edward Island will cast their ballot-l in favor of Ontario Premier George A. Drew for leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, Dr. W. J. P.

The Island delegation arrived in Ottawa today and immediately went through the formula of rog- istration for the convention which opens in the morning.

“We all came up on a special car with the exception of two par- ties which motored to Ottawa." Dr. MacMilian said. "Emroute we dis- cussed many matters of policy and also of party leadership. I found we were almost unanimous for Mr. Drew on the basis of his fine re- cord of administration and the par- ticular attention he gave to the vital matters of education and public health. I must say I am ra- ther at a loss to understand _ . Holmafls decision to second e nomination of John for the leadership, but we grg, a democratic party and he has perv‘ fect right to act in accordance with his considered opinion."

Butter production in Prince liki- wsrd Island last month exceeded that of August, 1947, by 145.000 1bs.. Mr. H. J. MacDonald. dairy sill!- erinterident, stated. yesterday.

Mr. MacDonald said last month's butter production was 089.000 lbs. as against 514,090 lbs. for August. 1947. This represents an increase of over 28 per cent.

The production _for the first eight months of the year - from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31 -was 2,698,000 lbs. as compared to a production of 2,530,000 lbs. for the correspond- ing period of 1947, a gain of 188-- 000 lbs. which represents an in- crease of 6.3 per cent.

This percentage increase in but- ter production for the eight-month period places Prince Edward Is- land in the lead of all Canadian Provinces in butter production. Only two other Provinces. Nfr. MacDonald said, showed any in- crease for that period. They are New Brunswick and Alberta, each with a percentage increase of 1.4 All other Provinces have shown s. considerable decrease in butter production.
