government; it contaminates its surroundings and leaves few within its preetincts untainted.

less stand he has made. At the convention at which he was chosen standardbcarer, the members of the party placed themselves squarely on record as unalterably op- posed to those political methods which rcs'ulted in the downfall of the late Government, and also with the methods by wliiih the Norris Government went into power. The t‘onservative party is to be congratulated for its un- compromising declaration that in these matters justice must be untrammollcd and that retribution must be ex- aeted from all those guilty of wrong-doing in coiinectlon with the Parliament Building frauds. This declaration

should go far towards restoring the Conservative party of lilanitoba to the confidence of the people of that province after the dei-ks have been elenrcd and the wrong-doers ousted i`or ever from the party councils.

,THE CALL FOR MEN

Throughout the length and breadth of the province, ns

throughout “thc dominion and, in fact. throughout the Empire, there is an urgent call for recruits and for fumls to provide our soldiers with erluipment. The call is being Iinadc from pulpit and platform and press; from the 'soldiers at the front. from wounded soldierswho have returned i`r0|n the front. And it is being responded to by it large proportion of our people, by men who, in order to respond, must break home tics. must leave comfortable homes, lucrative employment, prosperous business.

These men are responding voluntarily, without pressure.

without threat. They have a perfect right to refuse. Neither King nor military commander can compel them to enlist. The) only power that can exercise any control over their action or can determine whether they shall or shall not enlist, is their own conscience.

Now, why should they enlist? Simply that they may

enjoy the glorious privilege of refusing to enlist if they wnnt to. If they were in Germany they would not be asked to enlist. they would be ordered to do so, and if they refused they would be shot. Suppose Germany should win

in this war, what then? Our first consciousqloss would be that of liberty, that of being free to serve or not to serve where others wanted us to. We would lose our lands, our goods, our property; that we could endure, but to be owned body and soul, to be the chattels of a despot. and be compelled to do his will and his bidding insload of our own-that would be a condition which to our British blood would be infinitely worse than death.

lt is to avert this that the call is resounding to-day

through the British Empire; it is to nvert this that every man with red British blood in his veins is responding to the call.

it is lnmentable that there are those who wouldwgo

down into slavery itself rather than abandon their money making. their pleasure seeking, or thc little place they occupy in the "social" sun. lt is nothing to them that good men are buying for them with their lives the freedom which enables them to refuse to do their duty. These mon may think that the danger is not as great-as it is painted. They are buoying themselves up with the belief that this is merely a scare to compel them to do an unpleasant duty that others, more honourable and more manly than they, will do for them while they sit safely at home enjoying their ease and pleasure and money

making. But it is no mere scare. '

Look at thc situation squarely in the faco. The Rus-

sians arc being driven back; the Allies are making slow gains in Gallipoli; the Italiana are pushing the Austrians back slowly in the Isonzo Valley; while the British and the Fri-,iieli on tho western front are at a stand still. This situation may bc due to one of two causes. lt may be that the Allies know something of the internal conditions in Germany. and that tho Germans arc nearer a state of- collapse thnn would appear on the surface, or it may be that the Allies are not strong enough at the present time to force them back. There is no other condluslon possible. If the latter ls the real situation. then we ` ust send more men or the result will be a stalemate an£ peace will be patched up with Germany in possession ot'Belglum, North- ern France and Poland. This for Britain would be the beginning, not the end, ofthe war. for in a few years Germany would use all the resources of these countries and her own to build a fleet and Britain would have to grapple with her single-handed, and it is a very grave question, with the facts now in our possession. what the result would be. ll is quite clear that the effort to end the war then in our favour would be very much more costly than it would be to end it now. Our duty. therefore, is plain, unpleasant though it may be. We must rise to the occasion and throw our lives and our possessions into the melting pot. We must be prepared to hght s decisive battle that will end for ever the tyranny that threatens to crush

We commend this report, not to Mr Bell, who is

thoroughly familiar with it, but to those of his audience who may not have had tiio opportunity of perusing it when first mode public. \Vhat are we to think of a contro- versiallst who would deliberately suppress the facts in order to make a little political capital out ot’ it at the ex- pense of a great and growing industry?

Shirking is becbniing a pretty serious joke. "It'g all
