stressed that a. trained force of citizens ready to lake up arms be- side tlhe regular army is essential

to Britain's defence. He said to- day: “In these days if you get

trouble-I often feel it would be really big trouble-you must know where the people are to handle a big-scale emergency at once be- cause there won't be time to think out what to do."

Recruiting Campaign

An intensive recruiting campaign will be conducted all winter. The highlight will be when the King reviews 8,000 Territorials in a march-past in Hyde Perk Oct. 31.

Shinwell appealed to war veter- ans unable to give time to Ter- ritorial training to register so they could be called quickly in an cm- ergency. l-le asked the public to co-operate in helping the Territor- ials acquire training facilities.

Lord Montgomery said: “One of ilhe big lemons from the war was the principle of preparedness. Wh~lt you have must be available quick- ly. We never have worked on that principle before."

m two wars it took the Ter- ritorial Army six months or a year for mobilization and training. As u result Britain “suffered great dis- asters."

LL-Gen. Gerard Templer is believ- ed the likelysuccessor aschief of the Imperial General Staff. a. post Lord Montgomery has held since i946. A major in charge of field security police at the outbreak of the Sec- ond World War. Templer com- manded s division in Sicily and was the (1rd. British military gov- errlor in Germany.

The official announcement of Lord Montgomery's selection i-s ex- pected to be made tomorrow by the alliance secretariat in Paris.

The choice did not meet with unqualified approval. The Man- ” ‘ Guardian comments that Lord Montgomery is “an inspiration u. nnltlns 1mm" but la not a planner and ls “an

“n55” r 'lt0l'."

"1t might have been much bet- ter to appoint a not unduly fccn- ous Frenchman to act as a ‘stand in‘ and chief of staff to the real- lmd presumably American-sill!" reme commander to be fllJimilltiTi come,"

ssye the newspaper. "Grave Blunder"

Lord Beaverbrooks independent Daily Express says an "Ameflcfl" general of the calibre of (Dwight D.) Eisenhower" should have been picked for the defence posh Lard Montgomery was under Gen, Eis- enhower in the wartime invasion of Europe.

The Express calls the selection of Lord Montgomery a 811W 111W" der. It adds that the United States should join the union "on terms so clear and so exact that. confidence may prevail once more.'

"Until this has been done. there can be no assurance of American ctr-operation in war: n0 881681181"! against radical change of outlook as new personalities emerge in Washington." the Express adds.

A special meeting of the Prince Edward Island Art Society was held last evening st 219 Richmond Street, the hc-rne of the president, Mrs. Irving Geary.

Mrs. Prescott Creeimsn. chair- man of the program committee. an- nounced the program for the yeaz, which is of community interest, in tlhat it. will combine some of its meetings and exhibitions with the work of the Community Art Centre.

Miss Frances Johnston, director of the Community Art centre, was invited to consult with the mem- bers present, and the first steps towards a closer affiliation of these two organization-s were voted.

going to the “left" or to the "right." But why should i-hli

party go to “either extreme?" The only right way to go was “straishl on the way to rational progress.’

There was talk, too, of char-B- ing tlle party's name. Some would call it. “Progressive? Others fav- ored “Conserv-ative". But a change of name was not important and would not help the party.

"It is what the people think the party stands for that matters," he said.

In n, passing reference to Sat- urday's leadership ballotirlB. Ml’-

Bracken again stressed the im- portance of party policy. The assignment was important. "bl"

not as important as what man- ner of party he leads."

"The contestants are all out- standing men," he told the dele- gates. "You won't make a mis-

retired Justice of the-tnke no matter which one Y0“

choose."

Condemns Government

striking at the Government, he said it should be "thrown out of power at. the first opportunity" and he then proceeded to nail his condemnation down on these sev- en points:

1. The Government had been the “chief cause of the rising cost of living."

2. It had run the country into the "worst trede crisis in our history."

3. It had lei. food production fall behind consumers’ demands at a time when the world was facing famine.

4. Its contribution to inflation has resulted in reducing the value of the dollar to 68 cents.

5. It had failed in its re- sponsibilities to the northern half of this continent.

6. It had let bureaucracy "run wild."

7. It had created "a new Fam- ily Compact of boards, commis- sions and bureaucrats, which

idwarfs into inslgnificance the ~bne of historic memory."

Suggests Objectives

Mr. Bracken. in his speech, sug- gested these objectives for the fut- ure:

Economic: -- The Party stood for maximum production of need- ed goods and must preserve the ncentlve for enterprise.

Industrial relationsz-The Party stood for “looking upon all pro- ducer groups as partners in in- dusi-ry."

Social security: - Where the normal functioning of the economic sources failed to provide maximum production and regular employ- ment at just, rates of pay. the state must find "a rational way to get. it back to normal conditions and must render aid in the meantime.”

Trade: - The Party should ac- cept “all the imports we need and can pay for" and export "all we can spare and get paid for."

Immigration: Immigration should be based on the country's need and, generally speaking, new Canadians should “come from those countries from which our present population has sprung.’

Dominion - Provincial: The Party should see to it that justice was done to all Provinces.
