In doing so travelled 0000 miles by train and 7200 by motor. During this time he has attended 114 meet- ings. Throughout the survey he m; been a listener rather than a talk- er. However, on the occasion of his visit to this province he will as- sume the role of speaker and de- liver all address on some of the m. teresting things he has encounter- ed during his survey.

Speaking about this survey last night, Mr. Graydon said: “My m":- slon across the country has not as its objective the building of en or- dlnary peace-time partisan ms- chlne. Such s move could not be justified. The building of a strong- er opposition in Canada is regard- l ed by the public and the press, as a major national necessity. For, when the present Federal Govern- | ment. received the endorsatlon of; the people in March 1940 to carry I on the war as one political party; His Majesty's Loyal Opposition au- I tomatlcazlly assumed a position oi , scarcely less import in our de- mocratic system than that of the Government itself." '

hailed as a. national need. When this Government falls it becomes the duly of, not only Conservatives. but Canadian citizens to see that something worthwhile is construct- ed to take its place."

"While we have men overseas fighting for the preservation of the democratic way of life, it seems to me that, it is incumbent upon Canadians at home in the mean- time to see that one of the major instruments of that Democracy ifor which our Empire fight-s. shell lriot deteriorate and decay." he de- clared.

Continuing he stated: "We how that the rebuilding prosram of the conservative Party will not simp- ly centre around the wlnninc 01' I part v'ctory but will rather Eil-

"In some respects." he went on. "the problems we now have to face are similar w those which rent our heart-s last year. when we had to refuse to send away from this country for helping France the lust remaining squadrons of the fighter aircraft on which our whole position depended; or again when we rightly judged Hitler's unim- paredness for invasion in the sum- mer of 1040 and took the plunge of sending so many of our tanks and trshled troops sround me Cape u, m; Nile Vslley in order to de- stroy the Italian army la Libys and Abyssinis (Ethiopis.)”

He added that Britain never bad and never would have an army numerically comparable to those on the continent.

"In short the rebuilding of the party takes the form 0f a national war time service." he concluded.

Mr. Graydon, the popular Nat- ional Chairman, was born on s dairy farm in Chinguacousy Town- ship, County of Peel, 44 years ago, of Irish and English descent. (He is greatly interested in the potato industry on the Island and expects to learn quite a lot about it before leaving on-returri the latter part of the week.)

He was educated at Brampton H‘gh School, Victoria College where he graduated in Political Science 1n 1921. He was called to the Bar in June, 1925 and received his de- gree of LLB. from Toronto Univer- sity in 1925. He enlisted in the last Great War three times but was re- jected. On October 24, 1939, Mr. Graydon enlisted again in the pres- em. struggle but was turned down for medical reasons.

In 1920 he was leader of the Con- servative Party inl Victoria College In 1932-34 he was President of the Peel Conservative Association and Oct. l4, 1935 was elected to the House of Commons for Peel. On March 28. 1940 he was fe-Qli-ECIQG by s. greatly increased majority.

A champion of the farmer, work- ing man and active service forces in Parliament, Mr. Graydon took over his duties as National Chair- man on May 23, i941.

the Neutrality Law," said chain man Robert Reynolds 0f the 5e11- ate Military Affairs Committee, “we did it, when we were cool- headed. clear-headed. Those who sponsored it said it was designed m keep us out of war and that it was for the country's benefit. 1f it was {or the benefit of the coun- try, its repeal or drastic modifica. tlon would be to the country's detriment."

Senator Frederick Van Nuys (Dcm-Ind.) said the law has "been working very nicely," and that “if we arm our cargo ships it. would most certainly lead to an- other shooting war almost at once."

TELLS OF BATTLE

Far away to port. we could see the gun flashes of cruisers and de- stroyers.

Throughout the morning the vit- al convoy of large merchantmen carrying stores. munitions and troops with their majestic escort of battleships. cruisers and destroy-

ers had steamed through blinding rain squall: and under heavy clouds.

In such weather shadowing air- craft could get but s. hasty look at the miles of ship! before fighters roared after them.

‘Then the sky cleared and we were bathed in brilliant sunshine.

As guns of the esco \l.ng wsrslripe opened up in the distance en of- flcer spotter aboard shouted: “There are five torpedo bombers."

One attacked a. destroyer and was blown to pieces. Fighters from the Ark Royal were engaging the en- my and not one bomber got through the line of warships to the mer- chantmen.

There was a brlef spell of quiet. Then with bewildering rapidity a second attack developed- this time from starboard.

llbur or five dark shapes shot low over the water toward us through a murderous barrage.

Ahead of the aircraft carrier a big two-engined plane staggered. tr-‘ed desperately to rise and dived into the ees amid s lurid glow of flames.

We felt there could be rlo sur- vivors.
