He recalled that he first entered politics when he was a student to help his father run, unsuccessfully. for municipal office. The next time was when he entered the Federal cabinet the day Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. When conscription first became a cabinet issue in 1042 he hadn't said much, being new, but as the crisis became one of racial issues he had taken his stand for con- scription and had never been sorry for it. He sold he had wanted to re- tire to private law practice after the WM‘. but his desire for national unity led him to stay on. "Both Canadian races," Mr. St. Laurent said, "should conserve their characteristics. should not try to assimilate the other, and should blend together to form one nat- ional cdificls of different stones." He said lie found a desire for unity in Ontario and the West. He considered the constitution one of the barriers to national under- standing and harmony because of the perspective it placed upon Dominion-Provincial relations. He said he anticipated victory at the polls because he and his party "spoke frankly, clearly and honest- ly" about the problems now fac- lng the country. Soap.
