KING'S 25 -YEAR UNITY TALK LED ONLY
TO PROVINCIALISM IS DIFFENRAKER'S
CHARGE
iltalleinsaniavetwslassarn
`Canada Shall Not be Balkanzied'
Says M.P. —.Tories Won't Let
Premier To Nothing'
Ina blistering attack on the King
government, John G. Diefenbaker,
M.P. for Lake Centre, Saskatchewan,
told members of the Conservative
Business Men's Club of Toronto in a
luncheon address that the Prime Miss
ister's talk for 25 years, of Canadian
unity has resulted in a provincialism:
that is based on false teaching and
political expendieney.
"Canada must' net, an'd shall not,
be Balkanized," said Mr. Diefenbaker,
"and we believe; that the teachings of
Mr. King for 25 yrs. have resulted in
conditions that are prevalent in Cana-
da today, which: show that the pupil
will generally follow the teacher's
precept."
Mr. Diefenbaker charged that
Prime 1VIinister King has strong poli -
tidal reasons for doing nothing, and
he said, "we intend to see that these
reasons, excellent politically, shall
not be permitted to interfere with
the cause of liberty,"
End to Waste
He said that it was the belief of
the Conservative Party that the
people of Canada are prepared to
accept almost limitless taxation, but
they have the right to be assured
that wanton waste ,and unnecessary
expenditures shall end.
Mr. Diefenbaker pointed to the
beneficial results which have follow-
ed Conservative Party criticism of
the King government ,and went on to
outline a five -point program for his
party—"Freedom. Policy."
He said:—
"Firstly,' T would ask a redeclara-
tion of its traditional policy of strict
adherence to the British connection.
While people from all races and
creeds are welcome to this country,
if the tremendous resources here are
to be developed, a very intensive
policy of immigration must take
place after the war from Great Bri-
tain, assuring the continuance and
strengthening of the British connce-
tion.
"It is most important today in
view of the stand, of some isolation-
ists in this country that the Conserva-
tive Party shall take 'a strong stand
on the maintenance of the British
connection to answer the Chaloults
and others in the public life of this
country.
Return to Democracy
"Secondly ,a return to democratic
principles. Supremacy of Parliament
has always been advocated by the
Prime Minister, .but since coming into
power he has flaunted it in increasing
measures. When T say that, since '
the outbreak of war, 20,677 orders- ;
in -council have been passed -- 5,470
while Parliament was in session—yotl
have some idea of what is being' done.
Alhnast everybody in. Ottawa is legis-
]ating today excepting Parliament.
"Thirdly ,a policy must be declar-
ed that will assure to the farmer of
this nation a fair and reasonable re-
turn for his products.
"Fourthly. the party roust make a
declaration assuring Labor of a fair
return and of the right of collective
bargaining." Includedin his fourth
point, Mr. Dienfenbaker places! 'Se-
curity and Social Services" on which
"a policy should be enunciated which
will protect the weak from exploita-
tion."
Mr. Diefenbsker's fifth point dealt
with service risen and their depen-
dents, and called for an assurance
that the men in the armed services
will be looked after and their depen-
dents receive first consideration.
Condemns Apathy
In condemning the King govern-
ment's apathy, Mr. Diefenbaker said
that Singapore, Hong Kong and Java
all fell because of lack of 'manpow-
er. When action was needed, the
government postponed action, and
from the very beginning of the ivar
has been fighting a delaying action
against the forces of an aroused
public opinion in the interests of
what is called Canadian unity.
"First is was the National Re-
sources Mobilization Act after pres-
sure was exerted and public opin-
ion created; them itwas" the 30 -day
training scheme; then the four -
months training scheme ;then train-
ing for the.. duration of the war in.
Canada; thein the. plebiscite and next
week the debate on the amendment
by the terms of whidh •section three
of the Mobilization. ,Act will be de
leted and what the government will
do then no one knows,'; declared the
speaker.;
Mr. Diefenisaker added "Mr. God-
bout says (and he must be in the -
Prime
thePrime: Minister's confidence) that
nothing will be d'one."
'Mr. Diefenbaker, warmed of the
dagger ,of government by bureau-
cracy after -the wa.'r, , tating ,that the
n
bureaucratic set-up' m Ottawa today
is one which will permit state eon-
trol later by the boards which are
a prerequistS to putting into, affect
of the economic ideas of the Social-
ist.
"The Liberal Party today stands
for reaction; the C.O.F. for complete
nationalization which will destroy
private enterprise in all its fonds."
declared the member for Lake Cen-
tre.
Must Meet Challenge
"The Conservative Party must
met 'this challenge that comes to
it and that is to show the people
that our economic system shall con-
tinue to be one of free enterprise
under astringent control' ,anal: not ,com-
plete ownership by the state. By
controls T mean controls that wild
assure •e - fair distribution of the na-
tional income to all classes and will,
assure to all men, whether agricul-
turists, industrialists, or laborers, se-
curity without regimentation."
Mr. Diefenbaker said the Conser-
vatives must ,bring their • policies up
to date, basing them on the tre-
mendous changes' that are taking
place in a changing world.
"Experience is necessary in the in-
terests of stability, reform in the in-
terests of suvval. In my opinion,
blind adherence to historie principles
will be less dangerous that the tilting
at windmills of unpractical idealism,"
said Mr. Diefenbaker.
"As a party we require a declara-
tion of our creed that is definite af-
firmative and challenging in its sin-
cerity. No one can successfully argue
that principles, of the Victorian era
can cope with the conditions in times
that produce Sir Stafford Cripps as
Deputy Prime Minister and Willie)))
Temple as Archbishop of Canter -
bevy." he said. —from: The Toronto
Evening Telegram.

CANADA'S WAR WORKERS
To Share Special Shipment of 300,000
British Bicycles
Canada will be included,' in the
share -out of ' the 300,000 bicycles
which the Board of Trade in London
has now agreed may be made in Great
Britain this year to meet the defies

eitories,
"Petrol restrletions apply in Can-
ada as much as they do here in Brit-
ain," Mr. H; R. Watling, Director of
the cycle manufacturers' eragniza-
tion, said to an interviewer. "The
need for transport by bicycle for
munition workers and. for the essen-
tial services in Canada is consequent-
ly as great as it is with us.
"The total figure sof 300,000 in-
cludes components; and during the
war only essential repair parts for
users ef British bicycler will be sent
to countries in the Western Hemis-
phere, where the number of British
bicycles has been growing steadily
for years. We are of course sending
out such spare parts with the know-
ledge and approval of the Lease -Lend

"Naturally, we cannot today send
overseas anything like the number of
bicycles shipped before the war but
arangements have been made to send
as many as possible to India, New

Commonwealth have not been forgot-

quirements of territories served by

New Tyres of Steel
On 30,000 More. Farm Vehicles For
Britain's 1942 Harvest
Thirty thousand farm vehicles,
wanted by British farmers for this
year's harvest, will be delivered, to
time, 111nn1(5 to two new standard
wheel patterns,
Ownerb
r ter~
Agriculture engineers in Britain
, were faced with two shortages—of
materials for making pneumatcc tyres
for tractor trailors and tumbrils, and
of seasoned timber and skilled wheel-
wright labour for snaking the old-
fashoined wooden cart wheel.
The first of these pxoblems had
arisen long before the loss of rubber
producing territories in the Fast, for
war work of greater priority had al-
ready made it difficult to got moulds
and presses for tyre making. So the
engineers have evolved an all steel
wheel 3 ft. in diameter with a mini-
mum tyre width of 6 in. To absorb
the shock formerly taken by the
pneumatic typre there are two coil
springs between the axle bed and the
cart ,kept in Inc by a sliding. pin in
grooves, The 3 ft. wheel can be turn-
er out in as many months, as it took.
years for the older types.
A road test, with two tons over a 7
mile trip, at 10 and then 15 m.p.h.,
proved the rubberless trailers to be
quite as good as those with pneumatic
tyres.
The British Agriculture Engineers'
Association have given to the world
the design for the new 3 ft, wheel and
one for, a 4 ft. 6 inch steel wheel for
farm carts free of all patent and
licence rights.

,JT1`�here are many ways of enjoy-
„ing the scenic wonders. of the
Rocky Mountains, but none more
intimate or soul -satisfying' than
following the less -frequented
trails and byways, on horseback
or on foot, under the friendly
guidance of two of Canada's lead-
ing alpine societies .., the Sky
Line Trail Hikers and the Trail
Riders of the Canadian Rockies.
Both groups have set the date
and planned colorful itineraries
for • their annual outings which
this year will cover some'. of the
Rockies' major scenic highlights
in the vicinity of Banff, Alta. T'ha
Trail Riders will set out from
„Banff Springs Hotel July 24, and
will enjoy;five days in the saddle,
as well as the joys of camp life
en route. Their main camp will
be located at lovely Egypt Lake
about half -way on the trail.
The Sky Line Trail Hikers,
whose members rely on their own
legs rather than horse -power,
have their annual "safari" sched-
uled for July 31 to August 3:
They too will. start out from
Banff, and armed with camera'
and alpenstock, will explore the
district around Simpson Pass and
nearby Sunshine ' Valley where
their main camp will be located.
Founded by J. Murray Gibbon,-
generaI publicity agent for the
Canadian Pacific Railway, both
organizations have world-wide
memberships, and continue to en-
roll new members every year.
Each: year they 'take to the trail,
the Sky Line Hikers on foot, and
the Trail Riders mounted on sure-
footed- mountain -bred horses.
The riders and hikers proceed
leisurely,stopping at frequent 10-
tervais to fish for teout in the
glacial waters. of .Rocley-Moun
