Issues and eontroverey, . as' the
campaign- heightens, will be dealt
wi€h-in the press in due course. The
time is now opportune to say some-
thing, -without political', bias, about
history is af fairetest of prospective
performance.
Let us' then introduce George A.
Drew, leader of the Progressive
Conservative Party tithe Province -
of Ontario -
His political opponents have
sought to picture George Drew as ai
person aloof and visionary. Those
Of us who have come • to know
Gegrge as man to man, can deny
that. He has vision,, yes indeed)
Vision of profolind and practical
character. He has demonstrated
that ever since he entered public
life, and before. His exhaustive
searchings and stern indictments
have won the inarticulate respect'of
those presently, in power. For he
has forced correetive results. Often
they have sought to disparage and
intimidate him. • His completefear.
lessness and devotion to truth have
completely disarmed all -opponents
who dare meet himltrpon legitimate
and proper grounds.
George Drew is first and foremost
a Canadiah, yet deep and.. strong .
and true for the British connection.
He is' 49 years of age: His grand-
, father ,was a member of Canada's
• first parliament after Confederation.
George was ad officer in"the Guelph
1 Battery at 20 years of age, enlisted
at war's outbreak in 1914, was
severely wounded in• 1916, spent
many months in military hospitals.
" ' George Drew entered' public life
in his native city, Guelph, as an
alderman and at '29 became, mayor
of that city. His administrative
experienee began early and hat's con-
tinued through to his present Posi-
tion as member of the Provincial
Parliament and leader of the
Opposition. But he has gone fat( 'that. Holding the view'
that public life demands the widesst
• possible knowledge, George Drew
,has travelled throughout Canada,
has established world contacts and
personally toured the British Isles I -
during the present war,
seeking and obtaining vital inform

George Drew, sinter his return front
Britain, touching the present and
future of Canadian agriculture. He
has acquired both the "grass-roots" •
and world view' on Canada's
greatest, yet most neglected in-
dustry, There is pleasure indeed in
telling something of this man whose
