Back In ‘Fourteen

In his speech in Charlottetown Hon. Mr. Ral- lton again cited criticisms with regard to the al- leged hasty and superficial medical examination given the ntcn recruited for the Ist Canadian Cutttiitgcnt in the last war.

Presiding at the meeting was Dr. I. I. Yeo, President 0i the {Queen's County Liberal As- sociation, who examined many of our recruits at the ottthrcak of war in 1914 and was himself Commanding Officer of the 9th Field Ambul- ance at that. tittie.

Dr. Yeo tuust have had difficulty in re- straining righteous indignation at Mr. Ralston's uncalled for reflections.

He cottld ltave told the Finance lllinister that the highest standard of physical fitness was re- quired for overseas service in I914. In Dr. Yeo's own uuit, for example —n0t a fighting unit but a ntetlical corps —out of some twenty eager volunteers only scvcn succeeded in pass- ing the stiff examination to which he sub- jected them ticrsonxtlly. Another rigid examin-

followed.

“The Issue As I See It” l

By Hon. If. J. Monion, M. C.

u-‘trnuuiaﬂfil-‘TG. Pa!!!

Canada ll at war.

We are engaged tn e strunlo with n dangerous canny. We have asumed an obligation which will test the strength, tn- telttgenoe and staying power of this nation as they have never before

been tested.

We are tn to the end. 111m fl no my out short. of victory or defeat.

At the same time, we must solve Internal problems which have been too long neglected and we must. lay practical foundations now for rehabilitation when the war is over.

This job calls for a government strong, enerlﬂic and HUN-Isn't!" ttve enough to enlist. and tao-ordfnata the best human and material resources In Canada, not. only for our own defence and reconstruction. but for the most effective tie-operation with our allies tn the struggle.

Canada as a. nation can be really at. war only when every citizen, mgardless of his political or other personal beliefs, ts encouraged by his government. to shoulder a falr share of the nation's burden and 1f, having been so encouraged, he Ls enabled to make hfs voluntary c011- trlbutton with a maximum of effectiveness and n. minimum of delay

and annoyance.

There ls no room In the Domtxifon now for party politics. While I .nm leading a movement for National Government I will not. use a. smtikcscreen of war effort to promote "political objectives; I will not. give lip-service to national unity to conceal the consolidation and ag- tzrandiscment of a party machine. The problems and responsibility in our dcmocracy are those of the whole nation, not those of a handful of party stalwarts. There must. be absolute frankneu and trust. between all the people of Canada and every‘ member of their government.

O O O

The issue tn this campaign ts clear: Either the people or Canada want a governmcnt. composed of the

best of tho manpower of Canada; or they want a party administration which will continue to obstruct the

straight Liberal national

effort with indecision, delay, Incompetmice, trekery, patronage and

favoritism.

It ls all very welt to say the King government has called strong, experienced men lnfo the national service as members of departments and boards. Unless the Cabinet Itself. the Organism which has the last word tn policy and administration, ls made up exclusively of compe- tent, onerizetfc and trusworthy men, the work of the various services

will be crippled from the start.

We submit that no body of experts, however capable It may be. can carry on an adequate program of Canadian war effort under l.

wcnk izovcrn nten I:.

Fcr five years the King government has been "drafting" the ser- vlt-r-s of "experts" at great expense to the national treasury and then cithvr side-tracking or ignoring their recommendations.

I trill get the best. brains and ability 1n Canada. in the Cabinet

of a National Government.

That government. which, for partisan advantage, ran and hid from tho fznttfitu: of the Purvts Commission on Unemployment cannot be believed when i: claims to be making full use now of the best. brains

1n thr Dom n

By the ‘V8312. where ts the Howell-Shots Commission's report on

Dominion Provincial Relations? O

So strongly ls Mr. King be-devflled with the dhtbboleth of party solidarity at the expense of the nation that. after Ian Mackerizte had proved itftnsetf utterly incompetent to prepare the nation for war. 1119 Prime Mnister tippointed him chairman of the Cabinet. subcommtttce charcrd to prepare for rehabilitation after the war.

When the irresistible pressure of public optnlon finally forced Mr. Kim; to rcmove his discredited Minister of National Defence, he merely stiitttin him to another department where he carries a. heavy obligation to returned men frcm the last. war. He replaced him 1n the Department of National Defeat-e by the equally discredited Minister of Labour, a thcoi-‘st. with no praftcal experience, who, tn four year's time, had failed u» scratch the surface of the unemtilovmrni prvblvm whlch 1t

1t was his ditty to solve.

And now, after having himself betrayed Canada and our allies tn 1937 or 1938 by refusing to permit the British to set. up air training st-hcols in Canada for British pilots, which schools would have put us

alwad of Germany Instead of behind her tn air preparedness, he pro- poscs to succeed himself as the head of the nation's affairs.

No: only do I believe that a Cabinet. preoccupied with party con- siderations canntt give efficient attention to the serious problems created by war, but I believe also that. the ministers who are wrapped up tn war problems cannot give adequate care to matters of ordinary internal administration. I will set trp a war cottncil within the Cabinet charged wth tit.- responsibtlty of winning the war.

Arid. I proprse also, tn setting up a. National Government, to es- tablish a Department. of Reconstruction. headed by an outstanding Canadian, whose sole duty will be to begin at once studyfng and pre- paring for the readjustments which will inevitably follow the war.

O OI O I

I repeat. today on appeal I have made before, that tn every con- stituency In Car aria where nominations have not. yet been made for the ccmtng election, all Canadians who agree with me should endeav- our to get togetner people of all groups at open conventions for the purpose of naming some loyal, able citizen, of whatever party. as a

National Government candidate.

It has been hinted darkly, ff not. said openly, that. I have proposed a National Government as a. screen behind which to promote cott- scription and radway amalgamation.

Both suggestions an: utterly untrue.

I am against conscription on the ground, among others, that it ls umtrcessary. 1n the last war the dhlef result. of attempt/s to apply 1t tn Caitada was national dlsunlty and misunderstanding, and 1t ratsett

vory frw mm for our armies.

And I am atmttist railway amalgamation, though I advocate full ro otmrattoti bctwcett the railways under a non-political board which would have the power to see that co-operatton was actually made ef- fcrtiw, with full protection for the men whose employment might be interfered with through co-operatlve measures.

I rim campaigning for s. National Government for one reason only; that a nation at war needs a National Government.
