Drew Is Optimistic Conservatives Will Form Next Govg't

By D'Arcy O'Donnell

FREDERICTON. Nov. 14 —iCP) —George Drew. national leader oi the Progressive Conservative Party. said lest night on winding up a tour of the Maritime Provinces that "if people formulate their thoughts into direct political action this Party is going to form the next Federal Government." ,

l-le told a public gathering in this New Brunswick capital that he had attended and addressed en- thusiastic meetings in the three Maritime Provinces. but enthusiasm alone would not bring about victory in the election.

He urged his listeners and all party supporters i.o go out and ex- plain the party's policies and prin- ciples. lie asked that everyone ex- erclsc their right to vote.

It would be a dangerous thing. he said, if ihc present Government with its “autocratic powers" was given a new mandate in the next general election. y The granting of such a maud1le might lead us to that higher stale of autocracy which is socialism," said Mr. Lire-w.

lie re-ltcralcd his belief that those who did not vote had no right to complain what happened after the election was over.

All over the world an i-ssue was being drawn between two systems. Sometimes it was difficult to dc- cide on the shadings oi the issues. But throughout the world a, divis- ion was being drawn between free democratic government and anoth- er system uirder which the state was supreme.

Canada's federal system of gov- ernment was being threatened by n government w-hlch wanted to cent- ralize all power-s ln Ottawa.

Training 0f 500.000 llrged Immediately

By George Ronald

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14 --(C'P) --The United States was urged Saturday to set up "immediately" a basic civilian defence program which could be expanded almost overnight in the event of ntomlC war.

Completing nine months of in- tenslve study, a special board of experts headed by Rtissell J. llop- ley of Omaha. Neb,, recommended that 500,000 Americans be given civilian defence training right away,

Hopley estimated that 15,000,000 would be needed in time oi war to carry on civilian defence activity.

The immediate program. said the report, should include local ate-mic defence, medical. air-raid warden and other emergency units. The 300-page report is being referred to the various states, federal agencies anti Congress.

d-ionlev said in submitting the report to Defence Secretary James Forrestal:

"In the event of a future war. which might come to our shores. all of the people. all of the facil- ities and all of the skills and energies of the nation must he utilized to the fullest extent.

"To successfuly gprogram will require the cooperat- ion of every man. woman and ,chlld in this nation."

. These are the main proposals in

the report: . 1. A national office of civil defence. This organization.

with a staff of perhaps no more than 200 persons, would guide the states and major municipalities in civilian de- fence matters and help them train defence ivorkers,

2. Mutual-aid arrangements i whereby one city nr group of ‘ cities would help another if
