CONSERVATIVES (Continued from page one) ativc speech, He was introduced by Mayor J, Harley Crawford. Col. Drew said we face a real crisis in food production in this country and it is the concern of all whether we live in the city or in the country. As I go about 'the country lie said,, I find that instead of a 20 per cent increase in food production asked for there is going to be a substantial reduction this year. If that is so we will face a severe shortage of food. I saw how this problem was tackled in Britain he said, and when it comes to organization we would be es:treacly wise to see what other people are do- ing. They found that they could not deal with agriculture sitting in the 'of- fices of London, so they placed agri- cultural men in charge and in each county have mien who know the coon- ty. They followed the system of County War Agricultural committees and'front that tithe tit, the Col. said, the direction of production tattle front enjoy the same cost of power as the larger centres. At thv, same time the Col. suggested that decentralizing of industry which would follow such scheme and this would be better for the health of the people, h e said. They have a grid system of electric power in Britain bringing power at same cost to all places in the country. Some such system, lie suggests for Ontario. Provincial Government Important Some say, lie said, that under pres- ent conditions the provincial govern- ment has little to do.
