0n lhnt seaport. He has already visited many

towns ZllKl villzigcs where thousands of Canadians

fought and died, some of them needlessly he-

cause of the gaps in their ranks caused by lack of reinforcctnents.

Ollg wonders whether the Prime Minister in acltnoivlcclging the greetings showered upon him ever thinks about that other tour his former Dc- lClbQ .\l‘ -, Colonel Ralstori, made in the thick of the fighting; and of what came out of it. Docs he remcmbcr how his Minister returned t0 (pundit, voicing the ilcmands of our fight- ing forccs for replacements, and how he, Mr. King, pussyiimled and sidestcppcd, evaded and iloublc-tallcctl and fitmlly threw his Minis- tcr ovci- altogether because his demands meant Conscription. and Conscription would have meant l0>F of Liberal votes?

lf the Prime Blinisler has forgotten, perhaps the vctt-rtuis on whose behalf Mr, King is being honored may remember thcse words of Colonel Raiston, uttcrcd in Parliament on November 29, 1944?

The Russians are also planning rural elec- trification on a gargantuan scale. particularly as an aid to dairy farming and cattle breeding. The plan envisages not only the building of hydroelectric powcr plants in increasing num- bers, but the training of a thousand engineers and three thousand technicians specializing in agricultural electrification, and upwurrl-s of four thousand technicians in the field of hydro- amelioration.

More than 12,000 cnginccrs and 6,900 lcchui- cians will augment the prcscnt army of agri- cultural survcvors. And lust, but not lczist. specialists for cnttlc brccdiug will llQ rcntiircd. involving thc training iii more than jfwllklll animal technicians and 211.000 \'ClCl'llllll'_\' sur- gcons.
