COMMUNICATION
Report To Township of Tucker -
smith on Progressive Conservative
Convention in Toronto
As the only voting representative
from the township I would like to re-
port the convention as I saw it.
It was the first convention of its
kind that I had ever a t t'e n d e d,
though I recall almost twenty years
ago as a teen-ager,' a journey to
London with Glenn Hays, the pre-
sent Crown Attorney of Huron, to
hear Denton Massey and Gordon
Graydon at a party conclave. In our
youthful minds were formed lasting
impressions ,of polities and particu-
larly of these two men.
Not many years later I came un-
der the influence of Denton Massey
and his York Bible Class and inci-
dentally, I am now more convinced
than ever that if our parties are so
much 'concerned with our youth
they should be doing more than they
apparently are to organize the youth
of this country.
The convention was a tonic to
everyone, affording party leaders
and followers an opportunity to meet
each other and to see at first hand
the fruits of years of organization.
It was a privilege to meet Frost,
Porter, Blackwell and Roberts, and I
was much impressed by the energy
each was expending in his campaign
effort to win the leadership. It was
good to see Elgin McKinley our pro-
gressive candidate for Huron Perth,
making himself familiar with the
party leaders, an invaluable way to
learn the know-how that is a require-
ment of leadership.
To the readers of this article,
whether C.C.F., Liberal, Socialist' or
P.C., from the speeches of leaders
at this convention or prominent
leaders of Canada and those coun-
tries belonging to the western bloc,
it is obvious that communism and
socialist trend to -day have reached
alarming proportions. While in Tor-
onto I talked to C.C.F. party mem-
bers who believe that in Toronto at
least the next electjon will be a
straight, bitter contest between the
C.C.F .and Tory parties.
The old line party way of thinking
seems to be a thing of the past. In
our present clay world of practical
thinking, 'the individual is doing
more for himself than ever before,
and rightly so, for modern democra-
cy declares the importance and con-
sideration of the individual to be
paramount. The leader therefore, be -

comes more important than ever. In.
Leslie Prost we have not only a ca-
pable, energetic new premier, but a
man whose personality has an ap-
peal for all.
To the women I would like to
point out the important part played
by yourselves at the convention. Mr,
Frost has a wife who possesses great
natural qualities. She was the centre
of attraction wherever she went,
making countless friends and imp -
pressing all she met with her belief
and faith in her husband. Another
characteristic of this able woman is
her descent from very Irish ancest-
ors, to this writer at least, a faet
that seemed no handicap.
We all the know the reputation
enjoyed by the charming Mrs. Drew
whoseovation when she spoke at the
women's meeting was a testimony
to her great popularity. We cannot
overestimate the, importance of wo-
men in politics—they have been the
source of inspiration of great men
through the centuries, and their in-
fluence will not lessen in the future.
Out of all the writings we scanned
about the convention, few made the
impression of a short column of J. V.
McAree in the Globe and Mail.
" It seems to us to -become leader
of the Progressive Conservative
Party, and thus premier of'Ontario,–
is rather a curious ambition. Yet it
is a goal strenuously sought byesev-
eral. There is no money in it, or at
least not so much money as the
leader and premier could earn by
other means. There is certainly
some sort of public honor in it but
the man we admire is the roan who
seeks private honor.
" The premier will be denounced
and covertly insulted by his politi-
cal enemies. He will be praised ful-
somely by his political allies. Nei-
ther of these can add to the self-
respect of a decent man. He will
have considerable authority over the
lives of a great many other people.
Who would seek such authority?
Why should any rational man want
to become the arbiter of others' for-
tunes?
"If he is an evangelist or a pro-
phet, it might be that he covets the
position in order to save the people.
But the people do not need saving.
The new premier will sacrifice most
of his home life. He will have to
smile when he feels like swearing.
He will live in an atmosphere which
most normal men would find suffo-
cating. He will eventually be expel-
led from office with contumely. Un-
less he is a Mitch Hepburn he will not
have much fun. The time will come
when he will, in all probability,
curse his political ambitions. Yet
what would we do without this curi-
osity who helps carry on our busi-
ness?"
To us it seems to reach the core
of the matter and while it presents
a bleak picture of our system of
public life, we cannot fail to realize
how much we owe to leaders such as
Drew, Frost, McDonald, lisle y,
Rowe, Massey, King, Pearson, •Gray-
don, Church Macaulay, and Kennedy.
These men are not evolved in the
night like mushroors.
