Sproat, Seaforth, and Edwin Ches- ney; .Seaforth, Each nominee spare briefly and, all withdrew their names.. Bt!ockeibank, M.L.A.,` Leader of the. Opposition in the Saskatche- wan Legislature, conducted the or- ganization. ' Officers appointed were: President, Joseph Forrest, Londes- boro; vice-president, Wm: I:andsbor- ough, Clinton; secretary-treasurer;'to be appointed by the executive. •- The speaker, Mr. Brockelbank, addressing • the. gathering, • said that the C.C.F. differs fundamentally 'from the old -political parties in that it was organized by the farmers .and work-, ing people and"is supported directly by them financially with work' for the C.C.F. cause and with Wear votes, This fact explains the phenomenal growth of the Co-operative Cotnmon- --wea4,h Federation, Because• the, peo- ple own •and control the C.C.F. 'and lay down its policies, the pre-election promisee of the C.C.F. can be fulfilled, neither, Conservatives nor i.,i)4►erals can make such promises and keep them. because those parties receive their support from such monoply. in- durtries as the power :corporations, steel companies and .liquor manufac- turers. The speaker continued to say that the C.C.F. Government in On- tario can develop the national resour-- es of. the province in the interests of the people, not for profit for ,private companies and . to supply nickel' and copper to Japan to make war on China. The Q.C.F. can give the people, in this province medical services, ir- respective of the ability of the indi- vidual .to pay, increase old age pen- sions to' $30 per month and also in- creaae mothers' allowances, provide equal educational opportunities, and many others. C.C.F. policies carried into practise can bring security, peace and plenty. • A convention will be held' in Sea - forth Monday evening, July- -26th, to nominate a candidate to represent the party.
