--The power which bends the Dannie; out of their old forms of ipnught and action is the nation- u. impulse to survive, to prosper, w gffjw great, it is the universal will for security. Before its sweep, all things have been forced t0 give ivay; among them, liberty. ,

“For, ln the judgment of some nations. liberty as we know it and seilllflly as they would have it. are nos recuiicilable. Democracy is to them a weak, old-fashioned, use- less thing, a sort of ghost of es- pgrday, pale-faced beside the illi- bloom vigour of their new faith.

"In this unfriendly world. de- mocracy still ‘has its place and power, though these are in doubt until democracy meets the new ‘leniunds Bmn it and is made to work. . '

Goal of Democracy

"The goal is security, prosperity. gontqlll-fflﬁllt. Gan democracy show the wgy? I-f not, what takes its place. elsewhere: and here. in Camila?

"If democracy can work in any country, it would seem that coun- try should be Canada.

"Providence gave us Canada to ilso, not to throw away. And I tell you that we are let-ting it s0 by default.

"Why, by our every act. do we defy the teachings of the present iiine and try to turn time back- ward. to our own undoing?

"Why do we drift on in the wake of a shattered internation- alism, clutching the fragments of an economy which the modern minds of ancient nations are wise enough to jettison?

opportunity eludes our youth.

"That reason is our failure to recognize the supreme truth that in the world of today, the eco- nomic system cannot. effectively operate without/our help.

"This is the end of an economic era. The old order has collapsed. Lalssez-faire is ended. Capitalism ' never again will work in the old way. Blame that truth on science, on our natural wealth, on the Ileadership of great men, on the labours of ail men. Call that truth, progress. It has brought us to the era. of abundance. In it, the only system which can work hereafter. is the system controlled and guided by the state.

New Responsibility

“Our political society has now a new responsibility to our economic society. The economic system needs the flrm guidance of the state; a clear and resolute mind which, by impartial judgments, will lift the wealth and power of this land out of its present chaos and set it to work to build a real pros- perity. _

"m the days of scarcity. when there was not enough for all of us. the economic system was in a sense self-regenerative and operated automatically upon a scheme 0f checks and balances within its Own control. It fulfilled the puropse for which it was designed. That pur- poge was not abundance

"Iin these days, when there is m)

need for scarcity, the old economic system still struggles to operate in |the old way. Of course. it does not; give u; abundance, since the sys- item was designed to work only in an economy of scarcity.

"But the system no longer works efficiently in fulfilment even of its original purpose, because progress mas marred its old automatic per- lfection and has imperilled the {benefits which it once conferred.

MUST REFORM OLD SYSTEM

"Therefore _ii’ we want t0 g0 for- ward, so that abundance may serve the people, we must intervene ‘and reform the old system, Or do we uant to go buck? If s0. We must gear ourselves down again to that

names. use the same old tricks. Resort to -the saome old stupid practices. They are not even funny. From beginning to end, it's a wretched burlesque.

“Meanwhile, the people endure, there being nothing else for them to do. The highly favoured ones, selfrighteous, smug from ring-side seats elegantly look down upon this struggle for security.

“Who will retrieve the state, so that the state may help it? If re- formed capitalism does not, then the state though unretrleved, will negatively support reactionary cap- italism. If the slate continues a8 it is. laissez-faire becomes the hand maiden of reaction; unwittingly Perhaps. but for all that, a very useful one; as you will see. " “The uncontrollable will of hum- ankind strains tow-lard prosperity. Prosperity begins with our emanci- pation from the thraldom of the old order. Whatever action we may take to set us free, seriously dis- turbs that order. The state with the old mind must instinctively resist such action, not because, that ac- tion la wise or foolish. legal or il- legal. constitutional oi" unconstitu- tional; but simply because it is ac- 11011 ailalnst the old order.

"Likewise. action on behalf of the old order will win the approval oi’ the state with the old mind; whe- ther that. action is valid or invalid, fair or unfair; and even thouirh

assent to un-Canadlan assaults up- 0n our personal liberties.

“By the rules of the old oi"der shall all these acts be judged; as m their morality and as to their con- stitutionalty; and sentence accordingly. That's service to ream tion; menial if you like, but, mighty useful.

“I sometimes think that a good "will" Canadians must have been born with a. high opinion of their natural gifts as constitutional law- YETS; and that some of us have not recovered from that initial disabil- ity. For we are prone to surrender °iir lﬂylnerfs ilrerogatives of coin- incn sense, and with a feverish 901mb. attempt to rearrange the "ilwtf-‘rlvs 0f the constitutions written word, without the remotest idea of the practical reasons for our doing so. Were we content to b9 Just ordinary citizens, I ain sure it would occur to us to first en- quire the reason why we desire to augment or lessen the power of the federal or provincial authority,

"Quite Clearly. the draftsinen of the constitutlion did not envisage the PW-ivlit basic economic pro- blem and so may not have en_ Su-Yed the lt-‘gﬂl-lty of the statutory measures necessaiw to (‘lispnse of it- And.

“In the world economy of today, it would seem that in a sense, the nation and not the individual, is the unit. Thus collective action is essential to the disposition of basic problems.
