BRITISH MORTGAGE& TRUST COMPANY One Ontario Street STRATFORD 71 Encyclopaedia discloses FactsConcerning Leaders (A Letter in the Stratford -Beacon Herald) Editor, Beacon -Herald: Sir: Canadian citizens are again faced with the responsi- bility of choosing a leader. Editorials of large daily and small weekly newspapers are warning us if we go to the polls uninformed of the facts, Cana- dians will deserve the leader they elect. How do we get the facts that will enable us to think objec- tively and take a long, hard look at the two men who are campaigning to be Prime Min- ister? I have had such con- flicting views pegged at me with such apparent sincerity, my intelligence rebelled. The Liberals hail Mike Pearson as the experienced world diplomat and Canadian statesman. The Prime Minister has constantly vilified Mr. Pearson as an un- patriotic critic who downgrades Canada—a man grasping for power. The Conservatives exalt John Diefenbaker as a great Cana- dian who has given his life for service of the Canadian peo- ple. The Liberals, on the other hand, accuse Diefenbaker of tricking the credulous voters with oratory, of mismange- ment of the fiscal policy at Y Y s British Mortgage & Trust Company represented by W. E. SOUTHGATE Phone 334 -- Seaforth British Mortgage & Trust Company represented by JOHN As CARDNO Phone 214 -- Seaforth KIPPEN home, and of misjudgment in policies abroad, particularly with the United States. Where can a citizen get the true facts? Is Lester Pearson an' experienced Canadian states- man? Has he grabbed at pow- er? Is John Diefenbaker a great Canadian? Has he given his life to the Canadian peo- ple? Sick to death of political rhetoric, I went to the Strat- ford Public Library in search of facts, dull facts, unbiased facts unmbellished with cam- paign theatricals. For factual information, concisely tabled, the librarian referred me to the new Canadian encyclopae- dia, Canadiana. This is an authoritative set of reference books, recommended for use in Canadian schools. In essence, that is what I found out about the two men's contributions to Canada over the last 38 years. Lester Bowles Pearson. Vol- ume 8; page 135, Canadiana: Minister's son. Ontario born. Graduated from University of Toronto. Awarded a Massey Foundation Fellowship for post graduate study at Oxford. Mas- ter's degree from Oxford. In 1924 (age 27), history lecturer at the University of Toronto; 1928 (age 31), Department of External Affairs (served seven years). 1935 (age . 38), joined the staff of the High Commis- sion ' in London, England. Awarded the Order of the Brit- ish Empire. 1951 served with the Canadian Embassy in Wash- ington. 1945 (age 43) Cana- dian Ambassador to Washing- ton. 1945 recalled by the Prime Minister and asked to be- come Under Secretary for Ex- ternal Affairs. 1958, Requested by the Prime Minister to leave the Civil Service and seek elec- tion in Algoma, in order to ac- cept the appointment of Minis- ter of External Affairs, Won election. The Canadiana Encyclopaedia goes on to state of Pearson: "He attended many interna- tional conferences from 1930 (age 33) and was active in the United Nations since its incep- tion. He represented Canada on the Council of ..UNRRA, and at many sessions of the United Nations. He was President of the UN Assembly in 1052.53." In 1949; L. B. Pearson signed the NATO treaty for Canada, and was chairman of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1951. In 1950, Pearson led 'the Canadian delegation to the Commonwealth Foreign Minis- ters' Conference in Ceylon. In the years 1951 and 1954 respec- tively, Pearson led similar dele- gations to the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference at San Fran- cisco and then at the Confer- ence on German disarmament. In 1951, Pearson published his book, "Democracy in World Affairs," In 1955, Pearson was asked to become Chancellor of Victoria University, Toronto. In 1957,. Pearson was asked to run for leader of the Liberal party on St. Laurent's retire- ment. He won on the first bal- lot. The Canadiana says of Pearson, "A leading architect of the United Nations Emerg- ency force in the Middle East, and long an imaginative and vigorous worker for world peace. Lester . Pearson w a s awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957—the first Canadian to be so honored." John Diefenbaker. Volume 3, page 265. Canadiana: Teacher's son Born in Ontario moved to Visitors during the week with Mr. and Mrs. N. Long included: Mr. and Mrs. Eldin Kerr, of Winthrop, accompanied by Mrs, E.

S ealorth Motors Phone 541 •Seaforth 1940, the first year, he entered parliament, John Diefenbaker sought the leadership of the Conservative party. He was de- feated. 1948 (age 53, Diefenbak- er again sought the leadership of the Conservative party. He was defeated. 1957 (age 61) John Diefenbaker received the lead- ership of the Conservative party and went on to become Prime Minister. This is the record of the two men set down by the Canadian Encyclopaedia. It can be found in all public libraries. It out- lines the political contributions to Canada of the two men from their late twenties to their late sixties. It is said that as man grows older, he grows neither better nor worse, only more like him- self. In the United States the President is elected by popular vote. In Canada, we can choose our Prime Minister' only through his representative in our locality. Thus, each Canad- ian who votes April 8, has the responsibility not only between two local candidates, but also between two leaders, Lester B. Pearson and John Diefenbaker.
