THE lfl-IARIDTTETOWNWGUARDIAN

~Braciten Makes Plea For llnlty In Dominion

' quamic. Feb. ao-(ctm-Johrr Bracken, Progremive Conservative national leader, said tonight in his first political address in Que- bec that. this province, “with its strong religious and family tradi- tions, its attachment to the soil and its sense of Justice. consti. tutes one of the most substantial obstacles to the prevalent danger of a socialisic ideology."

i Mr. Bracken, in a speech pre- ipared for delivery at a party rally. isaid Canadians of French descent would find no advantage in enn-

stitutlng themselves into a. sepa-

rate block in the Dominion.

“There have been rumors of a spirit of separatism growing in Quebec." he added. "Persona iy 1 ‘have never believed they had any ‘substance.

"In my opinion we must stand

or fall together-all the provinces. east and west and centre.

Following are points from Mr Brackerfs 8D€BCh:-— -

1. "In speaking to the people of Quebec in their ...caplta. I shall express exactly the same views as Idwould in any other part of Can. a a.’ 2. "You were guaranteed certain rights and privileges under the constitution of Canada. We pro- pose to see that these rights are _ protected.“

3. "I am as much against gov- crrunent. by a single class as I am opposed to domination by one eth-

4. “The arguments against sep. aratism apply with equal force to isolationism. Canada cannot hold itself aloof from the family of ziations." .

5.“The matter of commonwealth relations is one which, if wisely developed, could favorably affect the future peace and security of the world . . . It would be folly to shatter so inspiring an example of international collaboration (of sister nations?)

0. "There will be no reversion to colonialism; we shall preserve- our autonom ."

'1. "We Canadians now are l strong, well-equipped people and our voice will be listened to with respect whenever we shall speak through a government capable of making wise decisions and actinll on them in good faith."

8. "when I say there should be decentralization. not centraliza- tion, I mean we should aim to se- cure s uniform national policy in all those fields where the irational prosperity must be cultivated, but.

“i leave to the local authorities and

to capital, labor and management a lar e share of the work of ad. minis ration."

Mr. Bracken said he would not promise anything that could not be fulfilled.
