PARLIAMENTARY LETTER Ottawa, Sept. 1st. -Liberals of To- ronto heard one of the most stirring speeches this week that they have listened to in a long tjme, when they entertained Rt. Hon. W. L. Macken- zie King, the Prime Minister, at a great banquet in the King rward Hotel. Sincere and thoughtful fn its preparation, logical in its conclusions and earnest in its delivery, the Prime Minister struck a high note through- out and laid before the people of To- ronto and of Canada• the things which his Government is-triving to do fur the betterment o. thtc, • , ratty and of the Canadian pe,q ! as a whole. "There is such a thing as too much government," Mr. 'King declared, "and we have had our share of it of late, in common with the rest of the world. With a national debt of over two billions and a population not yet nine millions, the less we have of gov- ernment that can he avoided and the more of immigration that can be ob- tained, the better for the state and every taxpayer in that state." After referring to the memories which the occasion stirred in him and expressing his great gratitude for the honors extended to him as leader of the Liberal Party, the Prime Mini- ster said in part: "Perhaps I can- not more fittingly seek to fulfill what may be expected of me on this oc- casion that briefly to review the for tunes of our party during the last three years and say a word as to the principles in accordance with which I have sought to discharge the re- sponsibilities of leadership, the lead- ership of our party in opposition, and the still greater responsibility of leadership of the Government of our country, with which the Liberal Party is again entrusted." The spirit which had guided him in his efforts as leader, said Mr. King', was the spirit of unity and good will of which the 1919 National Liberal convention had been such an out- standing expression. The Prime Min- ister reviewed the past history of the great Liberal party; its defeat in 1911 on a great issue. Had the course of world events been other than it was, it was probable, he said that the Lib- eral Party, under its great chieftain, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, would have been returned to power in 1916. Between the war and Unionism, the Tory Party had got a lease of life it could not otherwise have hoped for. For three years the Torites had ignored Liberal patriotism and co-operation and then to save themselves had taken Liberals into their fold. The wonder was that the Liberal forces survived and re- united as they had done. After the war had come the revival of true Liberalism, and a great party had sprung from it. Rt. Hon. Mr. King pointed out that it was during the Tory rule that a third party sprung up, as third par- ties had always previously been born under Toryism. There were divisions in the Liberal ranks through the events of those trying days, and it was to revive, to rebuild and to re- store, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had conceived the idea of the National Convention, which unfortunately he had not lived Ing enough to see. "If there was need for unity be - lore the war, how much greater is that need for unity now after all the difference; and divisions the war has wrought," the Prime Minister declar- ed. "If, before the war, good will was essential between the many di- verse elements of which our country is cnmpnsed, hnw infinitely greater is the need for good will to -day, after all the ill -will that war has served to breed." Rt. Tion. Mr. King had only one criticism to make of his chief politi- cal opponent, Rt. icon. Arthur Meig- hen, ante that we.; that his whole at- titude was one of itl-will. He show- ed a poignant bitterness, and was "a poor loser." Mr. Mcighen forgot that it was the people of Canada and not the political parties whn had cast c,4es which cast him out of office. "We did not wait until Parliament met to seek to remove the causes of discord and the differences which have kept. apart elements in our country which should have been working to- gether in the common good," said the Prime Minister in explaining hnw his Government had sought to carry out good -will. "The general elections having disclosed a Liberal east and a Progressive west, T made it known immediately that a united and not a divided Canada wool.] be the supreme aim of the new administration, and I sought to effect this by an attitude of good will towards those who had opposed us in the contest, but never- theless were one with us in the fun- damental purpose of overthrov*ing autocracy and restoring representa- tive and responsible government." The offer of seats in the Cabinet had been made to Progressive leaders who at the time had declined. They had, however, voiced their determina- tion of supporting the Government, in the carrying out. of Liberal and Pro- gressive policies and had acted in accordance with that profession. "I think the experience of a ses- -sidn has been sufficient to disclose that neither the Liberals nor the in cra'- tint, r Rt.' .eelared,"sad I think +tib d Petltit° :t+he f#ova Age 'to each of kir *On in tleekhig to work out Cle�hma we have in common." ,tae west had been given Cabinet representation, Mr. King pointed out;. Hoa, Charles Stewart having been chosen from Alberta and lion. W. R. MotherwdU, from Saskatchewan, The former had been elected by a Quebec constituency. "He site to,-dgy as the representative of the constituency of Argenteuil in the Province of Que- bec, but as the Minister for Alberta in the Federal Cabinet," said Mr. King, in paying tribute to the people of Quebec for this evidence of their good -will toward the people of a sis- ter province. The spirit of good -will had been manifested ever since the Liberal Government took office. It was shown during the session and in the deter- mination of the Government to be guided by the will of Parliament and the people. rather than by seeking to force its will upon Parliament. Mr. King emphasized the government's attitude with regard to control of the railways: the Budget, the returned soldier problems, the Wheat Board question, railway rate revision, and other matters. These had been dealt with in a manner to accommodate, not to antagonize the particular classes most affected by them. The getting back to Liberal principles in the control of national affairs had meant a great consideration for the rights of minorities and a greater consultation of the wishes of the peo- ple and Parliament than had been known under Tory rule. The Prime Minister referred at some length to the shifting of burdens during the war to the broader shoul- ders of the Federal authorities by the Provinces and municipalities. Out of this had grown a tendency to rush to the Federal Government on almost any pretext. Referring to the call for troops in Nova Scotia he pointed out that protection of property and Civil Rights were assigned to the provincial authorities. The law pre- scribed the conditions under which the Militia could be ordered out and made the provincial authorities financially and otherwise responsible. "We shall have to amend our constitution and the spirit of it," said Mr. King, "if, whenever industrial disputes arise and the alarm can be sounded loud enough, the Department of National Defence is to he looked to for the supply of military, naval or air forces," The Prime Minister referred also to the fuel situation. During the war there had been a Fuel Controller, and now many people looked to the Fed- eral Government to step in and take further control. But the provinces had been given certain rights, which carried with them certain responsi- bilities. It was not for the Federal Government to usurp provincial rights or provincial functions. It was for both federal and provincial authori- ties to see that their respective rights and powers were exercised in accord- ance with the spirit of the constitu- tion co-operating wherever possible to bring about a truer harmony and a wider unity among the self gov- erning elements of the Dominion. As a final word, the Prime Minister pointed out that there were times when a meagre legislative program meant that the Government in ques- tion was taking the best course in the interests of all. Development of self-government of the elements meant a drawing closer of the whole into a better Dominion or a better Empire, as the case might be, and too much government had become an ill Corm which the people of Canada were anxious to escape at this time.
