'l‘he war storm which has raged for the past six years anti has left in its path shattered thrones and wrecked nations. finds our Empire standing as a Gibraltar rot-k unmoved uninjured, stronger. more united, more loyal than ever before in its history, its far flung dominions welded more closely together of the sacrifices they made in the mutual struggle for the freedom not of‘ themselves alone but of the world and of civilization.

And in no part of the Empire will the day he more loyailiy ob- served than

We too have paid the price. we too have redeemed our heritage with a great price, we too have given of our blood for the more strongly welding of the hands that hint] our Eimpire together.

What can they not be to a party who acquired power upon false promises. who cursed in op- position what it is blessing today and who has a plausible excuse to offer for every breach of faith? That the Dominion Government grant should ibe used to the ut- most of the ability of the province was the policy of the Arsenttuit government hlthough ihittcrly op- posed by the then opposition now the administrative body. This also is we believe. the opinion of every elector in the province, but it is also the opinion of every elector that men who have made s-tich u comrpiete volts-face on so vital n question require careful watching. Thai money is ibelng poured out up- on our roads with a recklessness that is out of proportion to our means is the very general opinion today and in a year when the farm revenues are almost ruinously re~ duced the wisdom of such extrava- gance is very questionable. in any case the eyes of our people are at present being "turned upon the roads with more suspicion than admiration and there appears to be much cause for the suspicion.

no Conservative ash or -waste barrels around? Just think of their present plight anti then

No policy of any kind. nature. or description outside of the fag ends of old policies dumped to the junk piles by their opponents as unfit for consideration, snd some- thing less than a score of their own improvised policies time and again rejected by the people at the ipoils. Then are we going to shut them off from the garbage barrels and deprive them of their only means of exercise or amuse- ment? it looks as if the Premier would deal cruelly with them in this matter of their only sport.
