W. H. Golding, M.P. for Huron-Perth
Appeals for “Yes” Vote
In a radio address at Wingham
on Wednesday evening of last week,
W, H. Golding, M.P, for Huron-
Perth electoral district, said:
Ladies and Gentlemen of/the Radio
audience;
As the executive of the Huron
County War Service Committee has
undertaken to organize our 'Coun
ty for the purpose of securing a
. splendid affirmative vote for the
plebiscite on April 27th, I have
been invited by the executive to
speak to you this evening on this
plebiscite vote.
My first words this evening,
therefore, are to assure the execu
tive that I deeply appreciate their
kindness in extending this invita
tion to me at this time, as I fully
realize the fact that this Commit
tee is definitely npn-partisan and
is only concerned with a successful
prosecution of this Country’s war
- effort.
I congratulate the Committee on
the action they have taken, and
which is a splendid example for all
other Counties to'follow.
The decision of the Government
to hold a .plebiscite to determine
whether the people of Canada are
willing to release it from "any ob
ligation arising out of past com
mitments restricting the methods of
raising men for military services”,
adds a new duty to the many you
have already assumed. It becomes
incumbent on us‘all, if we are to/be
true to our aim of fostering and en
couraging a maximum wai* effort,
-to unite in an intensive campaign
to ensure that the response to the
proposal to free the administra
tion from past undertakings, shall
be a decisive, an overwhelming, em
phatic "Yes”.
New voters lists will be prepared.
Our first duty th eq ist to see that
the names of all loyal and .patriotic
citizens are inscribed on the rolls.
Make sure that the voice of your
friends and yourself are not silenced
through some carelessness or over
sight, Our second duty is to see
that on the day of the voting, ev
ery effort is made to record a huge
affirmative vote.
All-Out War Effort
We have heard a great deal about
an "All-Out War Effort”. Here,
then, is your opportunity to con
vince the Government that nothing
short of an “all out war effort”
will satisfy the electors of this Do
minion. In every appeal that has
been made to you, your response
has been magnificent. Your efforts
in connection with the war loans
and other phases of our determina
tion to prosecute this 'Country’s part
in the war, to the limit of our
ability has been such that it has
made me feel proud to be represent
ing you in these critical and serious
■times, You may wonder, -then, why
I now feel it my duty to urge you
to follow what is so obviously the
only logical course of action in this
particular case.
Many of you, no doubt, have al-

OGDEN’S^
CIGARETTE TOBACCO
It does seem to me that if each
citizen will endeavor to analyze the
serious situation which this coun
try, as well as all of the Allied Na
tions, are now facing, there would
be very few negative votes polled.
. And these votes would probably re
present 'the following types of per
sons:
(a) A few sincere individuals
who believe that no one should
fight oi’ be compelled to fight no
matter What the provocation or how
just the cause,
(b) Some misguided persons who
still believe that the Axis powers
have no designs on Canada and
we should remain neutral and
lated.
(c) People who so distrust
'Government that they suspect
it will introduce overseas conscrip
tion whether or not it becomes ne
cessary or advisable.
(d) Those who are not in sym
pathy with the aims of the Democ
racies and those who may abstain
from voting for reasons, which when
examined and analyzed, provide, no
justification for such action; they
represent whims, prejudices, sus
picions and grievances rather than
considered thought.
Let us then clearly understand
and be prepared to discuss the
lowing points:
1. You are not called op to
clare whether you approve of
policy of holding a plebiscite;
may denounce it as cowardly, con-
temptable and shameful or you may
praise it as honest, statesmanlike,
far-seeing and democratic, but the
ballot gives you no opportunity of
expressing either of these views.
If you believe that the Government
should have assumed the responsi
bility without recourse to a plebis-
cite^y'ou will injure your own cause
if you. abstain from voting or>vote
“no” to indicate your disapproval.
Your “yes” vote is the only means
open to you of bringing pressure
on the Government to make the de
cision you desire.
2. You are not called on by this
plebiscite to declare whether or not
you believe in conscription for over
seas now. An affirmative vpte
simply means that in the event of
competent, informed opinion con
cluding the defeat of the Axis pow
ers can best be obtained by the use
of compulsion to ensure adequate
forces to points where they can be
of the greatest value. Your govern
ment will not .be held back by un
dertakings given under conditions
which were entirely different from
those Which now exist.
3. You are not called on by this
plebiscite "to vote for or against the
Government. Party affiliations .and
political views should not affect your
judgment, as all parties in the
House are asking for an affirma
tive vote on this plebiscite; .at least
that is the wish of the Lib
erals,* of the 'Conservatives, G.C.F.’s
and Social Credit group. An af
firmative vote is not a vote for the
Government nor is a negative one
a condemnation. This is the ans
wer, alike, to those who never vot
ed for a Liberal Government and to
those who fear an affirmative ans
wer will embarass the Government
by removing the last obstacle to its
making a difficult decision.
4. You are not called on to decide
any question, other than whether
the Government should feel free to
follow a policy that may become
necessary to ensure victory. The
decision must not be affected toy
other considerations. Therefore,
disregard points raised to distort
your judgment on this one issue.
We have certain sections of our
people who denounce the Govern
ment for coddling labour; other
Sections denounce it for being too
hostile to labour; Others insist -that
all wealth should be conscripted or
that this class or that class is not
.receiving fair treatment. The pleb

responsibility cannot be passed on

I cannot emphasize this point too
strongly. You may feel that on ac

you cannot conveniently get out to
poll your vote. This’ must be
squarely met by yourself. However,
we should remember that splendid

issues long before we had

Finally, ye must remember one
thing above all else—the probable
reaction of bur Allies and of our
enemies, to the„ result. We can
analyze, discuss and explain the
vote to our own’ satisfaction, at our
leisure, but the re-action abroad will
be immediate and conclusive.
A substantial affirmative majority
will be accepted as a demonstration
of national 'unity. A declaration
that the Canadian people are ready
to make the utmost sacrifice for
the common cause. A negative ma
jority or even a substantial nega
tive minority would be a veritable
tragedy. Canada would be classed
as largely isolationist and neutral,
if not openly anti-British and anti-
Ally. The proud position which our
Dominion gained in the comity of
nations, through the heroism of her
sons and daughters in the years
1914 to 1918 would 'be sacrificed.
Undoubtedly ,we would be lowered
in the eyes of all our Democratic
Allies.
Therefore, let there be no doubt
or complacency or apathy as the
plebiscite approaches. Unanimity
is too 'much to hope for but let us
all 'unite in. an effort to roll up, a
majority that will silence Canada’s
critics.
In conclusion may I appeal to all
Legions, Service Clubs, Chambers
of ‘Commerce, Boards of Trade,
Municipal Councils, County Coun
cils, -leaders in Church work and all
others who in any way take an in
terest in the welfare of our country,
to use their influence and lend a
helping hand in assisting this coun
ty’s war service committee to make
this vote one which every citizen in
this district, in this country and
throughout the Empire, may well
be proud of.
Now ladies and gentlemen, I am
glad to have had the opportunity
of making this appeal to our
-county and to my own riding of
Huron-Perth and I am anxious to
make the same appeal to all those
Whp may be listening in on this
program. Appeals along these
lines are being made in many”sec
tions of our Dominion.

a project which has just been launch
ed in Toronto and is asking for the
support of all patriotic citizens.
Dr. C. M. Hincks, of the Canadian
Committee for Mental Hygiene, has
just returned from Britain with
two other Canadians aftei* a survey
of conditions made with the approv
al of the British government.
In addressing an executive meet
ing of the Ontario Home and School
Federation Dr. Hincks stated that
the great need at the present time
is for trained workers who can teach
others to help in the Nursery
Schools which are being opened at
the rate of 100 per week, because
the mothers have to go into war
work.
Twenty-five trained workers are
ready to go. $100,000 are needed
for a beginning.
Canadians offered to take 200,000
children from Britain; only a frac
tion of that number were able to
come. As they can’t come to us, we
can send the workers to them. If
they needed care then, they
