Jlenwru ll Wwkll ‘M! Weakest Ink.’ FRIDAY, Arum B. 198 z Another "Campaign" Platform A Liberal legislator once remarked of i Pl?" of Liberal legislation that “there 1s something in this bill that has been left out." The outstanding feature of the Liberal Platform I939 l5 ‘ha! if [caves out entirely any reference to the neces- sity of a balanced budget, which the I935 Lfb‘ oral Platform declared to be of paramount 1m- portancc, and which was to be achieved annual- ly by “reduction in expenditures." _ _ \\‘ith overdraft, debt and borrowings 1n- creaserl to the tune of four million dollars since' the Liberals took office, one would unagllle that a balanced budget would be much m0“ necessary today than it was in i935. Bu! lhc Liberal Platform is silent on the subjflfi. ‘Vhifl is pictured is a policy of expansion and flflwfld" ture in all directions, which will necessitate either heavier taxation or more federal subsidy, or both. We note that the Premier introduced his speech last night with the statement that the [Platform had been adopted "for the forthcom- ing provincial election campaign." That is just what the last one \vas——a "campaign" Platform -——-whicl1 went to smithercens as soon as the Spcndthrift Thirty got their hands on the reins, and started their breakneck career with a special Fall session to borrow three million dol- lars and grab for themselves the choice plums of office. Brazen Liberal Bluff Quoted in these columns yesterday was the full tcXt Oi 5165011 I3 (2) 0f Tl" Elam“ Act " Great rally of Empire Scouts at Windsor Castle this date, 1935. I including the amendments passed by the Camp- bell Government in 1935 and I937 for the pur- pose of appointing Mr. St. Clair Trainor Clerk of the Assembly, and Messrs. H. H. ACO!!! 311d Aeneas Gallant to the pay-roll of the Fisher- men's Loan Board. _ After making provision for these appoint- ments in the first part of the subsection, they neglected to repeal the second paragraph safe- guarding the independence of Parliament, which requires of each appointee mentioned in the first section that "h: be also at the some time a lllcmbcr of the Execution: Council of this Province." This, as pointed out yesterday, in effect dis- qualified Messrs. Trainer, Acorn and Gallant, or any other private member, from Jilting and waning in the Legislature while holding salaried office in the service of the Government. The wording of the clause is clear and un- mistakable. But, says our contemporary, "this is not the law.” It does not attempt to quote “the law" but says dictatorially that every member was “per- fectly qualified to hold his seat." If that is so, it should be an easy matter for our contempor- ary to cite the full text of the subsection, o: w: have done. If the clause quoted ha: bun n- pcalcd, it should be easy to quota the statute ra- flealing it. Instead of attempting to do this, the Liberal organ challenges all and sundry to sue the dis- pualificd parties under Sec. 18 of the Act, and ‘see how far they will get l” This is another case of brazen bluff. Such ‘in action could not be determined in the courts rmlfil after the elec- flrém zuhiclf the Government has called for May ' In the meantime, however, any elector with- rn reach of the Statutes can ascertain for him- self that the facts are as we have stated. Conscription In Britain fhe British House of Commons and the Chamberlain Government have created almost a precedent with regard to military service by the approval of a partial oompluuory military service scheme affecting youth: of the ages of 2o and 21. There is little doubt that this is the thin edge of the wedge which in course of time will be gradually and effectively presied to its ultimate conclusion of general conscription of man power from the ages of 18 to 5o. Not since the time of Cromwell has conscription been in force in time of peace in the Home Land. Con- ditions have changed materially since then. how- ever, and it is realized by 75 to 80 per cent, of » the thinking people that, in order to prevent the destruction and conquest of Great Britain, it is absolutely necessary that‘ defence arrangements be made with nations on the continent similarly ‘threatened by the totalitarian states. And all f-‘these have compulsory" military service. {Concert ion wax introduced in modern time: first by apoleon in 1798 and adopted by t e reconstruction of its army after Jar the Franco-Prussian war (1870- 33 RTHC wflfittental powers. in the W that tides hutro moi-t to tion made for exemptions by local tribunals on personal or public grounds. In the War crises on March 1918 a new act was passed extending compulsion to all men from 18 to 5o (55 for medical men) and authorizing in wholesale cancellation of exemptions. Canada adopted compulsion in 1918, and the act remain- ed in' force until after the return of the over- seas rnen. It is interesting and instructive to re- many, Austria and Bulgaria decreed the ab- andonment of conscription in these countries and the maintenance, only of violuntary armies; a decree, alas, to which as much attention was paid by Germany as to the other terms of Ver- sailles treaty. ly concede that the absence of an official Op- position in the Legislature during the past four sessions was an unmitigated misfortune to the Province. They realize now the truth of the warning sounded by that great Liberal newspa- per, the Toronto Globe. which pointed out, on the day after the 1935 election in this Province, that the situation was fraught with grave dan- ger.
