“It is very déillcult to make any,

cLs:rvn;ioiis that would be of inter-I cst to you without entrenchlng on political matters in the circum- stances under which we have.gath,- ered together; but I could riot help but think, as Mr. Stewart and Mr. J. A. MacDonald were speaking, of thc cxpcriencc I have had in life in various parts oi’ Canada, how little in fact we do realize just what a country we have. I was born in New Brunswick. I went to Dalhou- slc. I went V/ist. I used to be as- .sociatcd in the younger years of my lifc as one of thc legal advisers ofl the Canadian Pacific Railway; I had large business interests in Brit- ish Columbia which used to take mc

country. Wliaii I went to Calgary E lt was a coiniiiunity of less than 4,000 people. Thurs were wooden g sid1:wall»::'. and unpaved streets. It has grown to bc a city of 75,000. Whcn I went West the Province of Albtrtii was but the district of A1- borta, the Saskatchewan and the Assiniboio were the Northwest Tciritories, Manitoba had thc city of Winnipeg and a few scattered scttkmcnts. We had a small popu- lation beyond the lakes and moun- tains; but we developed very rapid- ly. Many of you who had the priv- ilege of buying town lots out there know how easily they disappeared over night. Those were the boom days. Then we came down to n more stable and steady develop- mont, with the result that this year, by present appearances, there will be something like 400,000,000 bushels of grain produced by less than 2,000,000 of people. It is almost unthinkable that such dcvelopmcnt could take place so quickly. We produced near- ly thi~ee-quarters of u billion of dol- lars of new wealth in those Western Provinces last yr.-ur. And I attri- butc much of it to the fact that _young men and women from these provinces and from Ontario and Quebec went West and settled. They

brought with them the virtues of their ancestors-the virtue chiciiy of work. The great solvent of alll difficulties is work; and in an age where work was not the pastime and cnjoyment that it once was, they

found that ‘ by hard work much`

could be accomplished.

,said this afternoon, we are a clan- nish people in the Maritime Pro- vinces-clannish in the best sense of the term. It matters not what may be our religious or political or racial differences; we sll have a great re- gard for one another at the testing' time when we have calamities and troubles and difficulties. All that is of great value. _

National Problems.

“This country has great difficul-

ties. Mr. Stewart has touched the fringe of them, because hc had not time to deal with them as adequate- ly as he could. We have religious differences that do not manifest themselves in some parts as they did; thcsc things disappear, but

f the ccuiitry, Tlicrc are differenc- s of racial origin, difIere,nces~ of

hat arise from day to day, differ- ences of urban and rural popula- tions due to the vastness of our aria and the lack of a .qommon Canadian .spirit between all sections of this Domliiion. As the Rector of St. Francis Xavier snltl to 'mez- “After all, it is worth while devel- oping, if we can, the soul oi' Can- ada, the common ground upon which we all can meet." It is not r-asily done. Government is diffi- cult for that reason. Yet, as I said so often, thc courage and enterprise of our people have conquered many things. and I feel quite certain that we shall be able to work out'our great destiny within this Empire and interpret our civilization to all the world, and particularly to our fi lends to the South. The interpre- tation of our civilization to all man- kind becomes a matter of ever-in- creasing importance for our consid- eration.

“Let us never forget that the basis

of all this lies in our maintaining, if we can, the spirit of democracy., We talk so gllbly of democracy these days, of government of the people, for the people, and by the people; yet we know how little it is regarded iii real practice. The truth is that the perils of democracy were never more apparent than today. Great writers and thinkers in days gone by believed it could not succeed as a form of government, and the reasons they brought forward were very strong. Democracy may be crystalized in thre words that were used by the French Revolutlonists: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." Now Liberty is not ncccsarily the pro- duct of Democracy, for very fre- quently where you have the rule of the majority. liberty may be very

tendency in these days not to work very hard, among young men. So, far as my observation leads me toa, conclusion and my experience wouldy be a guide. I think the old homely , virtues of toil and thrift and hard’ work will still bring the results thcyf did half a century or a century ago.l

“As I come back to these pro-!

vinces I wonder if you rcalizc just' now I reel. I do not differentiate? very greatly between the Island and, Ncw Brunswick, because they were' all part of one Province one time! My first Canadian ancestor sleeps? in Nova Scotia soil.. It is a very! strange feeling that comes over one to come back to these Provinces. During the life of my mother I never spent a Christmas away from home. It is always it pleasure to think that I have never been away from my motlicr in my lifc on Christmas; and if I have had any success in life it is owing, a great, tical of lt, to my mother. I was going through the library at St. Fr,mcis Xavier the other day, and I “nme upon C-i~otc's History. I rc- uillecl thi- fact that my first know- ledge oi' English history was acquir- ed at my motlier's knee. Those were the days when hope was strong and life was young, and the ambi- tions of life were all before one. To! come back no\v, as I did n few' weeks ago, and go over to the old ummunity whore I was born, andl see thc .scattered homes, and the' 'znvcynrd wlierc four generations of; my forebears sleep; to go through! the old villages, and across to Nova' SCGUHI to Digby and along the! South Shore, to towns that werel founded 175 years ago, down to! Lunenburg and Liverpool, to Trurof and over to Cape Breton, where everybody seems to be a "Mac" something, mostly MacDonald-it is an experience that moves .one vcry, very strangely."

Mr. Bennett quoted fecllngly the

ery. ‘There is n land, of every land the;

much curtailed. There is always the danger of liberty degcnerating into license. Liberty as such, of course, in all its attributes, may not be en- joyed by any people. because the price of civilization in all govern- ments, and ln democracies especial- ly, is that each individual must make some sacrifice of his or her in- dividual rlghts. I may not do just as I would choose freely to do. be- cause I must make some sacrifice of my individual freedom that all may enjoy liberty. The by-laws of your city, the statutes of your legis- lature and of the Dominion, the laws administered by our Courts, are based on the fact that the en- joyment of .freedom and liberty means that every individual in the commonwealth must make some sacrifice. Questions of decency, questions of morals, questions of conduct~all these come into con- sideration.

The Peril of Apathy.

“While the dangers of democracy

are great, some of them we may make greater by our negligence. Perhaps the greatest of all dangers is the absolute indifference or apathy on the part of the electorate in dealing with public questions, At the last election we polled 3,085,000 votes; at the election before 3,157,- 000. There were fewer people votcd in 1926 than in 1925. Apathy; that is the general tendency of the dem- nrmcy of today. In this country the difficulty of getting people to the polls on election day is very great. A man or his wife will not go and vote unless they are brought in a particular kind of car. Frequently, they will not go unless it is in asix- cylinder car rather than in a nosy two-cylinder Ford. The only way we can overcome the danger is by each of us taking an individual ln- trest in all that concerns the wel- fare of the body politic; and that can be done by each of us deter- mining that we ourselves will do our best to stimulate an active and in- telligent interest in matters of that kind.”

Mr. Bennett went on to enumerate

other dangerous tendencies in dem-

ocracy. One of these was the temp- tation to take extreme views, to see

no good in any question exceptthe side that we espouse. This leads to bitterness and animosity.

Another evil is that if irreverence

with regard to maintenance of law. Mr. Bennett instanaed how the pro-

*hlbltlon law was dlsobeyed. some-

times openly, sometimes clandes- tlnely. Democracy is the rule of the majority, whether we like it or not It is a oor citizen who breaks

- P

'any of the laws of his country.

what we can do and should do, in

the case of laws that we believe are

not in the best interests of the

ccmmunhy, is to take the steps to

see that they are repealed. He con- demned thb hypocrisy of people who will insist that the prohibition law must not be repealed, and who, the next dey are themselves breaking the law. His remarks, he said. had

no personal application to this

Province; but he had seen much of this evil elsewhere, and human na- ture ls the same the world over.

There is a danger also to democ-

rncies in the tendency to corrupt practices ln securing votes. These

abuses endanger the welfare of any country. In the ultimate result the life of the state is determined: not

by the mass mind. but by the indiv- ldusl mind. lt is not what some-

vative paiiy is the niswry of Can- ada. When the policies of the Con- servative party ceased to be applied, Canada did not get along very well. Starting with Confederation and coming down to the present day. there has been no departure from the great policies of the Conservat- ive party. The history of the Liber- als, it must be admitted, has been otherwise. The Liberal party did not keep its promises when it came into power, and that is probably the greatest cause for joy that any of us can have in this country. In 1896.

and the other is in the polling booth. That is a thought that should profoundly influence us in our at- titude towards the democracy that we are building up.

"I sm not pessimistic about dem-

ocracy. It is the only form of gov- ernment thus far that gives an op- portimlty for self-expression. It has high ethical and educational value among the whole of the people. But the world is very old, and democra- cy ls so very young; and the perils and dangers are great. We may. I am sure. do something to overcome them as the days go by. To do this we must be prepared to do our own thinking, and bear our share of the problems that confront us. It is not Bennetts vlew of any particu- lar problem that counts so much; lt is what you are going to do about lt, what your reaction is to it, what your induence is with respect to it. We cannot shift the burden of our individual responsibility on any one else. and remain a democracy."

i The Conservative Policy

After expressing appreciation of

the splendid organization of Queens County Liberal Conservative Assoc- lation, Mr. Bennett said he trusted that any Liberal friends present would not accuse him of endeavor- ing for a moment to f et the am

org -

nesties of the occasion if he pointed out that the history of the Conser-

they advocated “Free Trade as it is in England;" yet when Laurier and Fielding came into power they found that the government of this country was not quite as easy in practice as it was in theory. So they stuck to the policy of their predec- essors.

"We will leave out the ethical

side of the question; but as a prac- tical matter I am always glad that they forgot their promises and ad- hered to the Conservative policy, We can say that, at any rate, with- out being oiiensive to our Liberal friends: and I feel I owe that cour- testy to the committee responsible for this gathering tonight. The dif- ferénce between ourselves and our great competitors in Parliament is the distinction felt by those who go to an art gallery in Europe and look upon a greet painting, and then come back home and go into a lit- tle villsge gallery and see the same thing; but is is marked “Copy." The real difference between us is that we realize that there is one master- piece, and the rest are miserable co- pies. The real,policy, the policy of the master, is the policy found in the original gallery; but the copies, numerous as they are, are only cop- ies. So I sometimes think that if we look at it carefully we should rejoice that our opponents saw fit to carry into effect. nor. their lses, but

their convictions: :mil convictions have sometimes been known to re-

suit in a disregard of promises." (Applause).

Mr. Bennett depicted the Liberal ship of state tossed to and fro on‘ contending seas, without chart or compass, staggering under a great load of canvas, with a light deck load, and not much cargo. The Pat- riot editor will probably explain when the port will be reached and what the result of the voyage will be.

He spoke eloquently of the great

background of tradition which we have inherited as Canadians from the sturdy pioneers. There are problems and difficulties still before us; but difficulties were always made- for Lower Provinces 'men to over- come. The obstacles now are surely no greater than they were in the days of Tupper and Sir John Mc- Donald. We shall get around them; and if not we shall go over them.

Mr. Bennett’s Task

Mr. Bennett appreciated the sym-

pathetic attitude of his fellow Can- adians in the task he had undertak en as leader of a great party in Canada. “No man has been more kindly treated by his opponents and by the great mass of the people. It is late in life for me to have under- taken such a task. If I had my own way I should not have thought about lt. I was very happy in the. life in which I was engaged. I had much leisure for travel, for seeing

fallow men. for understanding' something of world problems at first hand.-That leisure ls now denied
