Outstanding in this regard will be the nearly eleven thous- and Prince Edward islanders temporarily absent from their homss— younger men and younger women serving for King and Canada, overseas and in other provinces of Canada. Every one of these-the flower and the strength and the hope of our land-have been dlsfronchlsed by the Liberal gov» ernment now appealing far re-election and a new mandate. Appealed to by the Opposition at the last session to make statutory preparation for recording the soldiers’ votes by the various commanding officers, they turned o deaf ear, and re- fused to take any action, feeling one may be sure that the soldiers were then hostile to many of the acts of the Liberals here and at Ottawa. And now every individual ssrvlng outside of the Province in army, navy and air force has been infamousiy deprived of all representation in the making of the laws and administration of the public affairs of his province, which he has temporarily left to defend by force of arms. And will be deprived of that all important right of democracy for the next five years. Outstanding also in thinking about the conduct of the war are the veterans of the last great war who now because of age or infirmity or business or family obligations have been unable to take active military part in the present conflict. _ These and all others are particularly interested. They realize that the result of the provincial election recently held in Ontario and the Federal bye-elections in the other provinces in all of which the Liberal Party suffered such devastating defeats were a direct and scathing rebuke for the direction of the war by McKenzie King. - Unfortunately it has been apparent from the first that all of McKenzie King's war time undertakings were tempered and directed by his political bias to win the war for the Liberal party. The strong, ,, ' .., instan‘ action so in the conduct of total war does not mix and has not mixed with the Liberal leader's gift for electoral appeasement and concil- iatory compromise. Red blooded Canadians with a will for all out and total war have been continuously dissatisfied with pussy footing policies in respect to man power, selective service and agricultural production. Amongst the great preponderution of Liberals elected to the Provincial Legislature in May, i939, two of the younger were John Mustard of Cardigan and Brewer Robinson of Sum‘ merside. War broke out before a session of the Legislature hod been held. Five sessions are now the allotted number for every Legislature. Of the last Legislature four sessions only were held. These two members, vigorous and fit, felt that they could best fulfill their duty to their country and also to their con- stitutents by getting into active service. Throughout the term of the Legislature their seats were held vacant far them and the needs of their constituencies in each case devolved upon the second member. When the election was hurriedly called ths war was evid‘ ently and admittedly entering its final though still t emend- ously important stage, with every probability that the next sessio the i944 session—will certainly be the last wur ses- tron. Having been absent from several sessions already one more at the most could not be serious and it would have seemed the most natural thing in the world—the only honorable and de- cent course-for the Liberal Party to renominate these two representatives both long absent in the theatre of war and . giving their all to the service of their country—to renominate ttese most deserving of all the representatives and give them the privilege of occupying again the seats they had so patriot- lcoily given up. Once nominated they might well have been assured of election by acciarnation. No opposition candidates would dare risk, in this Province, the opprobrium of trying to defeat can- didates fearlessly rendering in time of urgent need the very highest type of public service in an active theatre of war. Iut what did the Liberal machine do? Did it hasten to have them nominated and then plan to bring about their election by acclamation? it certainly did not. lt ditched them both-completely and entirely. In order to make room—to make place-for party aspirants who had stayed at home. The Progressive Conservative Party take a different line. in their national platform and in their Provincial Platform and in the words and by the actions of both leaders they give every assurance that they recognize a sacred obligation to the men and women of the services. . Plank No. i5 of the Progressive Conservative Platform fer Prince Edward island reads as follows: "l5. Recognizing our sacred obligations to the men and "women of the services we will give special consideration to the "re- ‘ablishment in this Province of these men and women "when they return to civil life and will co-operate to this end "with recognized veterans organizations." And the first plank of the Platform-The Progressive Cone servative Platform for Prince Edward Island, reads: "l. We will maintain British institutions and strengthen "the British partnership by every means within the constitu- _"tional power of the Province of Prince Edward island."
