Cabinet Timber Aplcnty

PEAKERS at election times are given to the making of statements more or less extravagant. 'l'he_v must attract attention if they are to be effective. So, siiperlatives are part of‘ their sioelt-ln- trade. Btit between snperlzitiies and abstnrtities there is quite a gulf.

Among the absurdities which have been giicu currency by the Liberal speakers. the Prime Minister iiniiinn them. since the campaign opened is the insin- nation that Dr. Manion. ii returned to |1t)\\‘(‘i' on .\l‘-tt‘t‘l't Cli. \\'ill not lie ltlllt‘ in fiirni a caliinel of capable men.

Now, it is quite legitimate fin‘ the government nratois. in their Fitnllllllﬂn speeches. to belittle the ablllllPs oi‘ the leader of the opposition and his lieutenants. 'i‘hey may say if they will. that the King government is the best government‘ the country can get and that no government which Dr. Manion may fomt can approach

lit in ability. experience or efficiency. But ‘to say. as has been said repeatedly. that

;Dr. Manion can not iorni a government at nil. or that if he does forin one it niii have '_to be composed oi‘ nonentities. is simply talking nonsense.

'l‘he King government has men of ability in it. N0 one tinestions that. But it does not contain all the ability. all the administrative experience. all the patriot- ism in the country.

After all. there are only sixteen men In the government. and there are eleven million other people in the country. Mr. King pays me people of Canada outside his cabinet but a poor compliment when he suggests that they ate barren and bank- rupt and incapable of rising to a great occasion.

Dr. Manion apparently thinks much more highly of them. for he is confident of finding somewhere in their ranks plenty of good cabinet timber. Perhaps h, "ﬁght rind snmt‘ of it among those Liberals whose zibiliiies Mr. King has not yet recognized.

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

‘u

ln three short weeks many thousands of Canadians have seen and heard Doctor Manion. Enthusiasm has grown into a veritable avalanche of praise For here is a MAN worthy of leading a truly National Government.

Born in Canada 58 years ago, Doctor Manion made his own way through life. He gained his experience in the "school of hard knocks”—then graduated from Toronto, Glasgow, and Edinburgh as a brilliant surgeon—a gold

medallist.

For bravery as a soldier-surgeon at the front, he won in

1916 the Military Cross at Vimy.

In l9l7—twent_v-thrce years ago——-he was elected to Parliament. As Minister of Soldiers Civil Rc-establishment, as Post-Master General, as Minister of Railways and Canals he served his Country with distinction. executive capacity coupled with the ability to choose the right man for the right jolycyained for him the respect and recognition of leaders both in Parliament and in the business

life of Canada.

Here is what Mr. King said of Doctor Manion in the House (Hansard-januury 12th, i959):

"My Hon. Friend brings to the two positions which he now holds personal attainments and professional

achievements of a high order, a wide and quite excep- tional parliamentary experience and, also, in other ways, a long and intimate association with the public life of our country."

Here is what Doctor Manion said when addressing 16,000

voters in Toronto Monday night last-the largest gathering

ever assembled in Canada for a political meeting:

His vigour, his

"The greatest man Canada evcr had in public life was Sirjohn A. MacDonald. I hope I may claim to possess some of his combination of qualities which would enable me to lead Canada as he did. Canada was formed by the union of great men, Conservatives like MacDonald, Cartier, Tupper, hIcGec; Liberals like Brown and Mowat. I am leading the National Con- servative Party today in accordance with the best

traditions of that Party. I am placing Country ﬁrst

and Party second. I am serving our Nation and our

Empire. I am rising in a time of emergency above

petty political ambitions. Our Party will emerge united and unashamedl”

A Progressive Policy for War and Pence, Notional Government Stands for . . .

A united and aggressive War effort, in tune with the realities of the situation.

A full mobilization of Canada's mater- ial resources, with War materials pro- duced and purchased in Canada as far as possible.

Total elimination of political prefer- ment, patronage and favoritism in appointments and in the awarding of War and all other contracts.

Stamping out of profiteering, extrava- gance and exploitation of all kinds.

Full co-operation with Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and our Allies in a vigorous, comprehensive Common- wealth air training plan to defeat our enemies.

Co-ordination of the work of all War Boards.

A Minister of Youth Welfare. “There must be no more boys wandering over the country like vagabonds."

Carrying out recommendations of the Purvis-Moore Commission on Unem- ployment.

A labor man as Minister of Labor.

A Livestock Board made up of Livestock men.

Marketing Boards in co-operation with the provinces and expansion of distributing agencies overseas.

Stabilization of price levels for farmer and consumer.

Canadian Farm Loan Board to function properly.

Abolition of the $2.50 radio license fee—a “nuisance tax".

“Either the people of Canada want a Government composed of the best of Canada's manpower; or they want l straight Liberal party administration which will continue to obstruct the national effort with indecision, delay, incompetence, trickery, patronage and favoritism.

"I will get the best brains and ability in Canada to assist in the direction of a National Government.

"Notional Government - or liberal Party -- Which Does (unotlu Wont?”

"I will set up a War Council within the Cabinet charged with the responsibility of winning the War.

“I am against conscription. I am against railwai amalgamation. I am campaigning fora National Govern- ment for one reason only—that a Nation at War needs a National Government!"
