Earl Lawson Foresees Long War Enthusiastic National Conserv- ative Meeting at Seaforth on Saturday An enthusiastic Conservative meet- ing was held in Cnrduo's Iht11 'on Saturday afternoon in support of the National Government candidate, Mr. James W. Morley, of Exeter. Guest speaker of the afternoon was flan. Earl Lawson, K.C,, M.P. for S. York. Mr, H. G. IVIeii' called the meeting to order. Dr, R. I1. Taylor of Dash- wood, in int'oduc•.ing the eandidate, Mr. Morley, said. "We call him Jimmy." Mr. Morley was horn at Exe- ter, he said and had been educated there and spent practically all his life 'there. Mr, Morley gave a very effective address in his oWn behalf, and offered a wide range of criticism of the fed- eral administration, He felt the elec• tion was nnuecessary and most in- opportune at this time of the year, and referred to it as a family row be- tween Mr. King and Mr.- Hepburn. He reviewed the situation in re- gard to 'a national government. Ram. say MacDonald formed the national government in Britain. Confederation Canada had ben the result of co- operation by the parties. One of Mr. Icing's present cabinet ministers, Hon. T. A. Crerar, was a member of the union government under Sir Ro• Bert. Borden. In closing his address, Mr. Morley said he would try to keep personalities out of the campaign. Mr. Thomas Pryde introduced the speaker for the afternoon, Hon, Earl Lawson. He said Mr, Lawson would find the people of Huron connty in- telligent and well informed. Mr. Lawson said this was his first opportunity to address an audience in Heron, although he had often pass- ed through the county. In opening his speech he asked if an election had been necessary. Mr, King had prom- ised a. full session of parliament be- fore an election was called, and it looked as if Mr. King did not want to have discussion In parliament about the contracts for large quantities of war material. Mr. Lawson thought March Time Picture "CANADA AT WAR" tHE Board of Censors, acting under the authority of The Theatres and Cinematographs Act, Chapter 319 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario 1937, has. prohibited the exhibition of the film "Canada at War." In the opinion of the Board the picture is capable of being used—and is, in fact, presently being used in Canada—not for purposes of entertainment or education but for political propaganda. In proof of this, a copy of an :advertisement published in Vancouver, B.C., papers under the sponsorship of the Vancouver Liberal Association is shown hereunder. C:, IT'S ; ., T_ EATRE You have heard the politicians talk on Canada's War Effort MARCH OF TIME An Independent and accurate news reel now showing gives a Complete Picture of Canada's War Effort Every Canadian should soo this picture and realize that the accomplishment is the work of ono man IA'MACKENZIE (Facsimile) in the Montreal Star of March 1, 1940, there also appeared an advertise- ment reading in part as follows: "Special March of Time `Canada at War', sponsored by the Dominion Government now showing daily 10 a.m. to 1 p.tn., Sunday 12 noon to 2 p.m." Moreover, the film "Canada at War", No. 8 in March of Time features, was released for exhibition in advance of No. 7—which is a picture with an American appeal. The release date of "Canada at War" was said to have been advanced three weeks apparently to permit of the display of the film during the Dominion election campaign. The action of the Board of Censors in prohibiting the exhibition in Ontario of the March of Time- picture "Canada at War" follows the precedent adopted in the Ontario provincial election of 1937; during which time the Liberal Government of Ontario refused to permit the exhibition of films and pictures which gave vivid accounts and displays of C.I.O. activities and scenes of violence in American industrial centres. The showing of the pictures wound have been to the undoubted advantage of the Liberal Government which was - opposing C.I.O. activities in Ontario. Yet the Ontario Liberal Government banned the exhibition of the films and pictures, The Board of Censors of the Province of Ontario would be false to its duty if it interfered in the wartime elections campaign by placing its stamp of approval on a film such as "Canada at War," which in this time of grave national peril is being used and exploited for purposes of political propaganda.

People would get less to eat under German rule than Canadian people on relief get today, the speaker said. - Mr. Lawson said he had had the experience of having his speeches censored. He had submitted the manu- script of the speech to the censor through the radio station, and it carne back with blue pencil lines drawn through the censored portions. which he was forbidden to broadcast. A representative of the radio station had at opposite hint at the micro. Phone to prevent the broadcast of anything except the words approved by the government censor. Freedom of speech and freedom of thought were the ideals for which we are fighting, said Mr. Lawson. In England there was no political censorship; it was entirely military. Mr. Lawson, in closing his address, said the government might have started building planes and other war equipment several years ago. It would have relieved unemployment, as Can- ada had the plants and the men, and it would have provided an -ideal market for the farmer. What better market could the farmer ever find, than a home market provided by prosperous cities full of working pee. ple, Independent of any foreign mar. ket, Mr. Lawson aalted. Mr. C. G. Middleton of Clinton was among those on the platform. During exercise drill, the corporal commanded: "Flat on your backs. Revolve your legs like you were riding a bicycle."
