The meeting was held tinder the auspices of the Thames Road Farmers' Club, and drew a large crowd to the Town Hall. (At night, biles MacybaU and Mr. Irvine also addressed a meeting In Sea forth. ) In the addresses of bath Miss Mac pba11 and Mr. Irvine, the Bank Act came in for severe criticism, each speaker declaring that the first policy of the C. C. F. Is to bare the Govern- ment take over euutrd of all banking. Massy Praia= Foram= "Money 1s the greatest of all our problems, and must be settled first." Mies Macpball, the only woman mem- ber In the House of Commons, said. Mtge Macpiail favored a program of public works, to pot money into circu- lation. stating that the Federal Gov- ernment should spend. not extrava- gantly, but extensively, along these lines. Besides urging the nationalisation of money, Mr. Irvine, who is a U. F. A. member of the House for Wetas- kiwin, said that the C. C. F. pledged Itself to "tak'e over the natural re- sources stolen from the people of Canada by political chicanery." "All the greatest means of stealing from the people are statutory," the speaker said. "Dive me the Bank Act, and 1 would not break intoa bank." W. G. Medd, M.P.P., acted as chair- man for the meeting, and on the platform with the speakers was Rob- ert McMillan of Seaforth, brother of the late Thomas McMillan. Mr. Mc- Millan also spoke briefly.

Statutory privileges, tar- iffs and anancial control were some of the means by which this division had been made. Of the Bank Act, Mr. Irvine said 1t was the "greatest privilege on the statute books of Canada." It was like a huge machine, "bolted together by interlocking directorates," "The C. C. F. has to of er_A.'plat- form of a new social order, based on human service," Mr. Irvine said. He pledged a planned *patent of national life, and the taking over of natural, resources that "had been stolen from the people." Nationalisation of money was another crying need, and with these and similar reforms would be built an economic system "that Is human, serving the people of Can- ada."

William Irvine, M.P., of Wetaska- win, Alberta, who was first on the pro- gram. said he was not here to vilify either party, or any person, but to deal with the situation that no politi- cal party has created, but is the re- sult of our errors and achievements In the past. Our ancestors had their problems, and solved them. Our task today is to achieve for the people of Canada economic freedom.
