PAR'l"IS.-\N (‘0]'lRl‘l()N AND (‘Rl'El.'i"\'
The oppression _and cruelty of iiiac~h-Elie
politics and politicians were never better
exemplified than in the Liberal party l__-‘:-
d:iy_ Every nieans within the power ol :.1
coercioiiist bureaucracy is being used to
crush out liberty of coiiscieiiceuiiil irde-
I peiideiice among iiidividuiils either in the _
van or back in the raiiks. It tziltcs cour-
age tor any inaii to break his lite-long as;
sociatioiis with his pai°ty; iii the case of
the Liberal coiiscriptioiiists it ineaiis posi-
tive niartyrdoni as was evident at the inu-
chine operated convention at Winnipeg.
Hut the inan who puts palriotisiii be-
fore piirty is riglit before God and his i'eI-
low man, and the people will reiidei' more
honour to this courage when, looking back
upon recent events in (`:iiiada, they see
how few :ire those who sliowed it and how
manv they are who went tlirongli the
false motions of castiiig oft' party for their
counti'y’s good. ~
The man who i‘iiigs true to his convic-
tions does not require to hide behind the
scenes and attempt to poison public opif
nioii through the inediuni ol' the macliiiic
operators or its press. He stands boldly
before his fellow ineii :is have done Dr. Mi-
chael Clark, lVli~. J. ti. Turitl', Hon. Mr. Ro-
well, Mr- Hugh Guthrie, and laces the is-
sue calnily and delibei":1tely. For him the
path ot' duty is plainly indicated though
made ditlicult by partisiui obsti~uct.ioiiists
and aiiti-patriots.
0 The country is at war. Nearly 400,000
of oui' best and bravest have gone to her
defence, and nearly l00,000 have spilt
their blood on her behalf. More men are
needed to fill the gaps or the sacrifices will
have been iii vain, :ind our country will
become the prey oi' the oppressor. Only b
one way is open to obtain the necessary i'e- H
cruitsl the democratic way of universal S
service.
All the best thought ot the country has
concentrated on this as the last resort.
But one leiider has stood apart. and has .re-
fused to admit the necessity for this su-

'l‘he questions eacli man, who is not a il

France and Belgiuin? Does his past re-
cord in Ietuleiship in iiiatters liiipcrial jus

Holding Canada up as an example to
“Canada has found itself in the past
three years. It has been through the
fire of a test such as few dependencies
have ever had to face, and it is
coming out of the fire not only welded
closer to the British Empire, but of
_ empire strength itself. It has set an
example and has had experiences that
are very likely to prove of much_value
to us on this side of the border in the
months ahead.
Remember that to do things on the
scale that Canada has been doing them
since the suininer ot' 1914, the United
States would raise and train and
equip an z-ii'in_\f of 5,000,000 men in a
little over two years, and ship 4,000,-
000 of them across the Atlantic. It
would raise and spend no less than
$l2,000,000,000 for war purposes. i
Yet when the warcloud burst over the
world, Canada was fully as unpre-
pared as we have been. .Its army,
which has grown to 400,000 soldiers I
was smaller than the militia of Massa-
chusetts, and its resources and indus-
tries, iiow splendidly mobilized and
etiiciently organized for the great
work in hand, were on the most peace-
ful kind of a peace basis. _
Small wonder tliat our patriotic
gatliei'iiig's listen with much respect
and with deep interest to Canadian
-speakers' One thing' is_ certain, the
Caiiatla of the future is not to be look-
ed on with anything resembling t-he
superior air that we have liabitually
assunied on this side` of the border.
The peace tliali has made it unneces-
sary to build a fort along the 3,000
miles of border will continue, but it is
not going l.o be the peace
of the coiidesceiidiiig' kind-
ness ot' a big brother to a
helpless youngster. An American only
belittles liiinseli' it' he fails to recog-
nize :ind applaud the great things that
(`_anadzi has done iii this world crisis.
And if an Ainei'icaii belittles himself

ada has done in this war, what is to be
