There is, perhaps inevitably, a de- gree of conflict between these pro- nouncements. The Port Hope resolu- tions-, undoubtedly, formed the base of the 'Conservative platform. Some 44 of the 70 planks in the platform were taken almost verbatim from the reso- lutions. But from the stand,pdint of ''forward - looking or progressive thought, these, are the least signifi- cant parts of the Port Hope resolu- tions. The laymen, plainly, were too progressive for the main Conservative convention and, therefore, moat of their important pronouncements—par- •ocularly with respect to international- ism and tariffs—were toned down at Winnipeg. Moreover, the ' Port Hopers were not nearly as politically -minded as the Conservative delegates, with the re- iault'°that much window-dressing of .a vote -catching kind, noticeably' absent in the Port Hope resolutions, appears in the fficial platform. - « « * Pro; %SAG/Cl !/NCD CH/CKENRO11 SERVES 8 ESTIMATED' COST 55$ ' 2 cups flour 4 tsp.

But, he, definitely, did not bind ltm- self as leader to respect a platform which,'•to quote him, "1 have not had opportunity to examine . . ." And he said, ;bluntly, that whatever its provisions, "they must be amenable to change. Mr: Bracken, of course, had a•plat- form of his own. He announced this platform at Gladstone more than a ,month in advance of the convention, and he repeated it, point by point, to the convention- Since, then, he has. developed new points ' in his national broadcast. ' On three major points—interna- tionalism, tariff and the role of the state—there 'are interesting -variations =n the views expressed at Port Hope, at Winnipeg and by • Mr. Bracken. These will be examined. insome. de- tail later on, ,put a generalization will 1 indicate the difference in viewpoint, « « « The.Port Hope resolutions, from the Conservative standpoint, were re- volutionary in advocating internation- alism in sweeping fashion. • The lay= men were opposed to economic na- tionalism. They desired the "ititegra- tion" of our economy with that of other nations, beginning ' with the United States and the British Com- monwealth. There was no trace of protection or nationalism in their res- olutions. Canada must, in the fullest sense, ,be a part of the . world, taking her full share of responsibility, of the rough and the smooth. This was too Siff welose of Liber- al doctrine for the Winnipeg dele- gates. The official. platform . waters down the •findings 01 Bort Hope, Only, a few tag ends of phrase§. survive ;and he 'tariff plank, while reflecting a harp conflict in opinion, is not at variance with the Party tradition. It would be easy to findwarrant in'the fficial platform for the protection - at policies of Macdonald, Borden, Meigiien and Bennett. With Mr. Bracken, on the other and, the approach to internationai- sm seems to he largely from the tandpoint of trade, of export sur Iuses. Mr. Bracken seems to desire cele tariff not as a step toward inter - ationalism and the integration of ur economy' with that of other na- ions, but as a techniqu"g for the •sale f wheat, bacon, beef, etc. He em- rgies as..a man without fundamental onviction on tariff policy but, .rather, s a bargainer. It is the Bennett idea n reverse. Bargains are usually be - wean two nations. Mr. Bracken gives o sign of thinking in terms of mu•lti- ateral exchange of goods -that im- orts from one nation may be paid r by exports to another, Mr. Bracken, however, is keenly ware o1' the conflict in past policy the expansion •poliey for agriculture nd the restriction policy for trade pee speech January 20, 1942, Kiwau- Thin Winnipeg).

States could be a' dominion: They did not protest that the. United States was not a• French dominion, left God save France. They took independ- ence from Prance for granted, but did not think their independence of Bri- tain to be anything like Bowel' estab- lished. That is, they were still colon- ial minded, still colonists of a sort. They were very strong in the belief that the U.S. should never concern itself with ,anything out of its own imruedi'ate interests; a,nd V smaller courtries were overrun by Axis states, that was too bad but was...no business of the 'U.S. Strangely en- ough, they did not grant Great Bri- tain the privilege of minding its own business; they chastised England all over the press and the platform for not helping Ethiopia„ 'Spain, Czecho- Slovakia, Poland. When the 'war broke out and Britain `was trying to help Poland, they changed their tune slightly and denounced England for not helping Norway, "Denmark, Bol- and and Belgium intime and for let- ing France flown at Dunkirk and af- ar. In the winter of 1940-41 they o. nd that England' was letting China own by closing the Burma road tem- orarily; and in the summer of. 1941 ngland was . letting Russia down by of throwing her forces on the con- inent at once. England, it seems, -as always letting someone down,- If c a is s s e fo P in s • * * * There is an equally interesting var- iation',fn the view of the role of the state in the post-war world. Port Hope 'strongly favored' private enter- prise but stated that if, as and when private enterprise failed to, function, the state must, step in. The conven- tion was much more dubious of the state. The preference for private en- terprise is equally marked, but the delegate s did not feel impelled to discuss the alternative in detail..Mr. Bracken was even more cautious,` but his earlier speeches reveal him as' a powerful advocate of private enter- prise and' one who is not inclined to queatio nprofits unduly. At Gladstone he said that private enterprise pro- vides 20 times more jobs than state enterprise, and "yet many people' go around complaining because private ' enterprise makes, a little money." Mr. Bracken is also highly critical bf the growth of "bureaucracy." The touch of the professional poli- tician at Winnipeg is apparent in many ways. For example, Port Hope was not of the opinion—or at least did not ray so—that, under, the pres- ent administration, responsible gov- ernment is in grave jeopardy and oaf liamentary institutions' fast crumbling into ruins. • But since no national convention platform would be complete without a statement of this kind, it duly appears in the Winnipeg product. The •"decay of respottsible government under 'the present administration" is "deplored," etc; ete, Mr. Bracken, also, seenis suddenly to have become aware of a very dangerous situation of this kind. Speaking on Jai/eery 20, 1942, he would not "venture" an "Opinion" on ,the efficiency of -^the goi*eretment, al- ,though many aspects of the war ef- fort were moat erejlita'ble.1'Ther'e was tto alarm dr,.tlIS kind in the publish- t�tl ireptdrts of the Gladstone 'Speech* But by. Dec, 12, lit the convention, araoken had-idiaeovered groutids ngland did not promptly and su essfully rescue all the nations a sailed by the Axis, she must have sinister selfish interests to serve, which the isolationists' were pleased to reveal in various ways. Now running through .all this abuse there was an assumption worth not- ing: that "England" was able and ought to help all the distressed, peo- ples of the world. That is, in the view of this group, England was still the mother country, the 'universal pro- tector. She was not indeed a mother who was living up to her job, but essentially she was a mother even if a neglectful one. Again the view is essentially colonial and those who held it were the persistent colonials. They said nothing whatever about British successes in the war and trumpeted long and loud about British reverses. Thereby unwittingly they paid Great Britain • the highest of compliments; her successes were the natural thing, requiring no comment, but her failures • wee such newsthat the deserved a lot of publicity. Let us repeat, the view is thoroughly and essentially . colonial and could not be bettered in St. Helena or Kenya. These anti-British groups of course liked, no sport better than finding fault .with anything and everything British but let any Briton express an adverse opinion on anything Amer- jcan and they shouted to the skies, "How rude! How unfair!" not being mature -minded enough to take a criti- cism' from a Briton on itsmerits,-as they would an adverse remarks from a South American ora Chinese. They are not negligible, for they have made an impression• on the minds of Ameri- cans at large that cannot be ignored. Everyone who opposed the 'isolation- ists in 1940.41 felt that the question, "Do you want to, help England?" was a•ha.rd,one to answer,.even if help to England meant help to the United States. Somehow it seemed that help to Great Britain was an act with a stigma to it. We may remember the common opinion that American am- bassadors in London lose their heads and their minds more easilythan in any other capital. The English intro- duce the ambassador to a duke and a duchess and forthwith he becomes an ardent Briton and practically a mem- ber of the cabinet that . meets in Downing Street. This is a quaint sup- erstition with a romantic touch but it does mush Less than justice to those able men and excellent patriots the American ainbassadors, The fact is that in London these men find out if they did' not know it before, that the common interests of the two na- tlolas are much more important than their differences and that co-operation js to the benefit of both; and this .is all. Of a piece with this amusing superstition, is the uneasy feeling in the mind, of some worthy Americans that in fighting side by side with Great Britain they -may become'some- how a catspaw for scone British inter- est; although they have no suspicion that their alliance with Russia snakes, them a catspaw for that country. Both the superstition and the uneasy feel- ing indicate -I lack of confidence in American patriotism and diplomatic ability, a sense of inferiority which is nothing but pure colonialism. 0 a `far as :ihq app#i•xentiy ili1tittr3isirgoeip.ryt. ;ofl,`.adfll•tx eiltoi{1a1ez1be? , l{t.�msei ,,xinzAgci9;l<hnipittttrh'ee�fnroem ahlitbad ve ge Ir:ilourwei iatto al a at : p ?vivi}g -coipnia1 ity bf. budie ^1epe tr e will, "to a man's •stati; a$ deco in their grECentltri" and the rtToth Ther are, 40.wever; (Mereiea 16ze in, t1 ati,prithagratoi.

There are also eIemerets'friendly to the Axis who find fault with. Great Britain at every • opportunity and seek to sow c'.lscgrd between the two great Eng- lish-speaking eomMu ities. But there still is a vocal minority of people, chiefly racial groups with grudges, ii hose favorite sport is throwing mud at Great Britain for the fail it gives them;' for instance they find much less fault With Russia, whose views of liberty and the value •of human' life are greatly different from ours, than they do with Britain, whose v-ews -'on these topicsare identical with those of Americans; and their utterances ,,are responsible' for the impression in Great Britain that anti - English sentiment is on the rise in the United States. There is no need for this apprehension; we 'have here merely the case of the six-foot York- sh'reman belabored with a stick, by a four -foot six wife, ' who replied to a bystander, "It amuses her and it doesn't hurt I." And no Briton un- derstanding, the situation will have the least•wish to interrupt these peo- ple in their peculiar. recreation - Sensible and mature -minded Ameri- cans, the ,great majority, rate this professional anti-British agitation at c - lits true value, knowing that the •agi- s- tators are the remnants of a dying ,race. Through most Of the nineteenth century a war with Great Britain was the most popular of wars in the U.S. to the time of the Venezuela contro- versy and was avoided on 'several oc- casions only by a _droit statesmanship. Now anything of the sort is unthink- able . and .-the idea is revolting, so close have the. nations come together. When in the ,1920's Big Bill Thomp- son ran for Mayor of Chicago on a platform of '`busting King George on the snot," he committed political sui- cide with the rest of the country. The jubilee or George V and the coronas tion of George VI were followed- with_ sympathetic attention in the U.S., and in 1939 the present King and Queen were made thoroughly welcome here, When Great Britain beat off the Nazi air force in 1940, Americans were generous in their tribute to British. courage and skill; and when British cities were lain waste by bombs in The ensuing winter,"Afiierican sympa- thy was intense and took the practi- sal form of abundant relief to the suf- ferers. All the clamor. of the isola- tionists did not prevent the kerage American from understanding in • 1941 that both countries... were in a common danger and must sink or swim toge- ther. My observation of American politics leads me to the conclusion that the group which clamors the loudest has the least influence, and the American press is a sorts of Hyde Park, wherein wise men and fools alike speak their minds and no one listens to the fools. The heart and mind of the average American are sound; he suffers fools patiently but knows 'better than to follow them and in a crisis -he -will make up his own mind. And let me assure these good Americans in return that their atti- tude toward the British people is ap- preciated and that ' •there is much mote cordiality toward the U: S. throughout the British Empire than ever before, that good feeling -is prac- tically universal and never has the U.S.. had such a high 'reputation through the English-speaking world.

And by Dec. 22nd (the national broadcast), Mr. Brack- en was even more aroused. He spoke of the "usurping of . . , powers by bureaucracy" being "the negation of responsible government."

A little care in hanging linens to dry, whether down in the cellar dur-. ir-g the winter months or outside when it becomes 'milder, will save a lot,' of time in ironing1 and in saving ironing time this will in turn save electric power needed by the war blants. Before linens are hung on the line the corners and sides shotild be, smoothed and straightened. When clothes 'are dry, they should first be sprinkled. and then rolled firmly so that the dampness rnay' spread evenly throughout the article. The next step is the actual ironing. Ironing experts say that tablecloths should be folded in half lengthwise, and then pressed first on the wrong side in order to dry them smoothly and then on the right side t0 bring oht their histre, Housewives should also rereerubet thea ironing should always be done with the grain of the fabric„ After pressing a cloth it shpuld be folded lengthwise, then across as many times as necessary. The folds should never be ironed. 'This weakens the cloth fibres.
