Mr. and Mrs: liberal Leader Pearson Charges Tres With 4rge W ste Defence Budget In Clinton at the Canadian Le- gion hall on Thursday night, over 400 persons heard Liberal leader 1 Lester B. Pearson charge that the Tory government has "not adap- ted itself to the changing circum- stances with its defence policy." Criticizing the Diefenbaker re- gime, for wasting a billion and a half dollar defence budget, Mr, Pearson said that for the RCAF to pilot fighter planes, that have nei- ther the speed nor the altitude of jet passenger planes, is pure non- sense." "It is also wrong to bring Can- ada into the ranks of nuclear pow- ers," said Mr. Pearson. He was addressing the annual meeting of the Huron Liberal Association, with A. Y. McLean, president of the association, charing the meet- ing. Mr. Pearson said that "We need a differentiation between the De- partment of Agriculture for the Canadian west, and Eastern Can- ada-" He explained that the pro- blems of the west with its wheat farming, are not at all the same as in Eastern Canada, with its mixed farming. "What has become of the 1957 Tory slogan 'parity, not charity'?" asked the leader. "They told us they would solve all the agricul- tural problems and give the farm- er his fair share of the income. While prices have remained stable, costs have gone up," said the spea- ker, Mr. Pearson said that had his narty been in power, it would have recognized the unemployment sit- uation "for what it has turned out to be," and claimed his party would have poured more money into the country's economy to stave it off. Mr. Pearson said that the sale of wheat to Red China was a "wind- fall' for the government. that he favored the sale to the "famine - ridden" land, but added that Can- ada should be careful and suspic- ious. Growing Support He referred to the people stan- cling at the back of the hall and said the turnout—similar to oth- ers he has experienced in his trav- els—was indicative of the growing support of 'Liberalism and he pre- dicted a Liberal victory in the next election. "We've got the people to fight" he said. Mr. Pearson was introduced by Hugh Hawkins, Clinton, president of the Western Ontario Liberal Association, and thanked by W. G. Cochrane, Exeter, unsuccessful fed- eral candidate in the last election. Chairman of the meeting was A. Y. McLean, of Seaforth, who was re-elected president of the Huron Liberal Association.
