on Wednesday night by Mr. A. ivalthen Gaudet, secretary of the Young Progressive Conservatives: Tunlgllli I am goins to speak to m. briefly on some c! the ree- MS why the young men and wo- lllCH of this Province are planning n, vote for the Progressive Con- n-rvailve Party led by the Hon. ‘m, w. a. r. MacMillan in the forthcoming Provincial election on mo 11th day of December next.

"hereby registering their protests

QgQlllSiS the present Liberal Gov- vriinient led by the Hon. J. Wal- m- Jones, which has been in pow- rr iii this Province for the last pm; years and which is currently iioundering around so helplessly grgspillg at any straws available iii an attempt to justify to the iieciors of this Province their continued existence in power after ihat dale under s manifesto of accomplishments for that period iihicii is about the weakest ever presented to the electors of this PrDVIlICG. '

‘rm young people of this Prov- ince today are taking‘: keen in-v ierrsi iii our Provincial affairs. lllld ire no: blind to the facts so obvious io all who care to keep their cyes wide open. Thousands of our young men and women are m‘ long home after_ fighting a bit- ... uar in order that our Demo- cratic way of life rnisht b0 milli- iained rind safeguarded for our- selves and for our children.

A; veterans we do not forget easily the fact that while we were so engaged at the date o! the last Provincial election. we were so completely ignored and disfrln- chised by the Jones Government iiiiich now asks us to give them our votes on December the 11th. Siranize that while the Liberals here decided that such would be loo costly a moWe that the ‘Do- minion Government and also the Province of Ontario found it very miich worthwhile to arrange that iircir soldier's vcte so called be lfl".i‘ll ivhercvcr their veterans were wrvinc their country and Province. 5 inzc unless they were a little afraid of the Veterans’ vote, and from all the attention being dir- val-rd in that direction of ilate it iioiiid appear that they are again a Zmlc afraid of it and with Justi- iirifion.

l’ is something similar to the apparent disregard by the Jones (Eoi-crnment of the labouring class in this Province. "Going to out- liii’ organized labor the Premier rai-s and as a result we have the present fiasco at the local pack- irii: plant here in this City.

There have been great attempts iii bluff in this connection by the Ldierals. and now some of their SQPIiKPFS tell us that not only was iii» nciinn inken in the interest n! our iarmcrs but they try to tell iis in addition that they really ‘ruled labor pretty well. They Tll'l>' consider labor awful gullible if ilivv ihink that labor ‘is going lo L~'\\illl0\V that. cyc-ivash.

Without Authority The truth of the matter how-

eirr is just this-There is no raniie on the statute books of

i

Government any authority to tag; over the Canada Packers Plant here in this City, and all that we can fudge therefore is that the taking over of this plant was done With the full consent and ap- Provsl of Canada Packers Lim- ited. In other words the inter- ests cl farmers sndlabor in this Province were sold out by Premier Jones and his Liberal Govem- rnent to big sbusinesa in an at. tempt to break the labor unions in this Province as Premier Jones outs, “any predicted he was go- lns’ to do. But while labor ls sup- posedly being dealt the death blow in this Province as the Liberals think-in reality _it is our farm- ers who are the real losers and all losses occurring to them can be laid Iquarely at. the feet of the Jones Government.

Well the young people don't take very kindly to such actions on the part of the Jones Government now seeking re-election and know that unless and until all classes and groups can be molded into one. working together side by aids

in harmony for the ‘eon-en b‘. torment of this Province under a united Government, then we shall not make real progress in our time. \

Why are the young men and wo- men of this Province planning to vote for the Progressive Conserva- tive Party on December 11th? Well. one reason is because we like the way that its candidates, comprising as they do a real cross- scction of our people-farmers. fishermen, busiiessmen, veterans and labor. have seen fit to in- clude s plank in their party plat- form telling us that when elected they will immediately set up a new Department of veterans‘ Af- fairs and Labor to see that vet- erans and labor get a square deal for a change in this Province.

The Liberals are already shout- lug-Ah. a new minister and an- other big salary. No. ledics and gentleman, that would probably be the Liberal method as has been done before this but under the Progressive Conservatives this new department will be placed under one of the present ministers at no extra cost to the people of this Province.

Constitutional Government

Time does not permit me to give very many of a multitude of reasons why young people as I've said are planning in increasing numberslto vole for the Progres- sive Conservative Party on Dec- ember 11th; but another import- ant one is the fact that we like very much that plank in the Pro- gressive Conservative platform dealing with constitutional gov- ernment by which that Party's candidates offer the electors of this Province a return to govern- ment by constitutional means and pledge themselves when elected to see an end to the practice of gov- ernment by ‘order-in-council as has become so prevalent under the present Liberal regime.

“Y” Makes. Progress In Middle East

Commendation of the progress made by Turkey towards democ- racy was voiced to a Guardian representative yesterday by Mr. Ezra P. Young. one of sixty world service secretaries of the North America Y. M. C. A. who is vis- iting the Province. this week. Turkey M3‘. Young described as the last free nation in the Eastern Mediterranean, a fact which he attributed to, firstly, the sturdy independence of the Turkish peo- ple, and secondly to the long hist- ory of western educational and cultural co-operation with the country.

‘Turkey is definitely moving to- ward democracy in spite of the pressure being brought upon her by her neighbors to Join the Sov- iet satellites," Mr. Young said. “One example of this trend is the four-fold increase in the study of English in the past six years.

"For the first time in the history of the Turkish Republic, the gov- crnment has permitted the org- anization of an Opposition party. The democratic party has fifty- five vSBBl/S in a parliament of 375 members."

A native of Pennsylvania, Mr. Young has spent five and a.half years in the East, and is now on a year's furlough, along with four other world service "Y" secre- taries who are touring the North American continent. During the past six weeks he has travelled 3,000 miles in Canada and the United States.

“Y" Centres Flourishing

Despite the ravages oi’ war, Y. M. C. A. centres are flourishing in four of the great cities of the Mid- die East - Jerusalem. Istanbul.

Athens and Cairo, he said. Ono of the strongest movements of the organization is in Roumania.

Even though Roumania is und- er Russian occupation, the Na- ional Council has established twelve new Y. M. C. A.'s in that country. In these centres Y. M. C. A's are the only places where young men of all races. nations and political creeds can meet.

In Jerusalem, all through the trouble between the Arabs and Jews," the doors have been open to Arabs, Jews and Christians alike. And both Jews and Arabs are still serving on the “Y" board of managers."

Mr. Youngsald he was particu- larly interested in the continued progress of the Y. M. C. A. in this part of Canada. and the genuine interest shown by Mari- timers in the problems of Europe and the Middle East.

More recruits as well as finan-

cial support are needed. lie said. pointing out that seventy-eight "Y” secretaries are needed in Europe and the Orient._ whereas only sixty are at present avail- able. . After a brief visit to Charlotte- town. Mr. Young left for Sum- merside yesterday, and later for St. John. N. B.

Ldr.C.W.

The following adtel was de. livered last night by Sqdn. 1dr. C. W. Higgins. DEC.

I believe that with. an election coming on in three weeks time. that it is fitting and proper that I should say something to the people of this Province from the standpoint of s. veteran. Much has been said and written about the war veteran and his place in the peace-time life of this country. I know most veterans are desirous of returning to civilian life at the earliest moment possible, and re- suming there their rightful place in the normal life of the commun- lty.

It has been said time and again that the veterans were deprived oi their vote in the i943 provincial election through the failure of the Liberal Government to pass legis- lation. Apart from the fact that ir would have been an expensive and almost impossible proposition to seek out all Prince Edward ls- Janciers to obtain that vote, I also know that for my own part y was too busy doing another type of job to let it cause me much con-

yob of it m. . Vocational mum;

I have not mentioned vocational training which was established here three years ago and for which a very fine building was con- structed and equipped. Hunted! of veterans were enabled to take courses in many trades and cell- lngs, and hundreds are now pug-v suing these trades as s result of the foresight of the Provincial Liberal Government. An agree-- nient was worked out with the D0- niinion Government regarding thl cost of operating this school, and a fine body of instructors were appointed. This work will con- iinue until every veteran has had an opportunity of learning a trade and has been placed in remuner- ative employment.

I have mentioned some of thl reasons why I, as s. veteran. am supporting the Liberal Govern- ment in this campaign. I am not fund of making public speeches; in fact, speech-making is a. thing which I usually avoid like poison. In common with other veterans,

cern. I can say honestly that i! I had been in a position in vote in 1943 I would not have known what party to vote for. because I had been out of tout-h with con- ditions in this Province. Prince ddward Island and Germany are a long distance -apart.

Fortunately for me. the good Lord was kind, and I was permit- ted to return home. sound in mind and body. The same cannot be said for many thousands of others who suffered. and many who are still suffering in various hospitals throughout the country.

Liberal Provisions

The provisions of the Liberal Government at Ottawa with re- spect to war gratuities. preference in all civil service appointments, allowances for education, re-estab- lishment credits, out of work benefits. allowances pending busi- ness profits, and so on. were a pattern which any country might well follownl’ am safe in saying that no country in the world has made better provisions for its vet- erans than the Dominion of Can- ada; not even excepting the fain- ous United States G. I. Bill of Rights. ~

I was for a time connected with the distribution of War Assets in Charlottetown. and I can tell the people of Prince Edward Island that some‘ $350,000 worth of equipment found its way into the hands of veterans through the co- operation of the Provincial De- partment of Reconstruction. This department of the Liberal Pro- vincial Government, by acting as agent. secured for the veterans a priority in the purchase of sur- plus war assets. The two military camps at Beach Grove Inn and Charlottetown airport were d:- ciared surplus. and these buildings were first offered to the Depart- nient of Veterans Affairs to be re- moved as dwellings for veterans and their families.

In addition I could speak of .1 very great amount of garage equipment. trucks, cars, jeeps and so on_ which were placed at the disposal of veterans. I must say that I am surprised at the sugges- t;c.n in the Conservative Platform that they will establish a new Department of Veterans Affairs in this Province. I should think such a Department would be like the fifth wheel of a carriage. iviien we already have a Department do-
