GOLD!ING'S OPPOSITION James W. Morley James W. Morley, Exeter barrister, was the unanimous choice of Huron: Perth Conservatives as their candi- date for the coming election. For the past four years Mr. Morley has been president of the Huron -Perth C'onser- vative Association. He will speak in Clinton in the near future. National Conservatives Hold Monster Rally In Wingham An enthusiastic National Conserva- tive rally was held in the Town Hall at Wingham on Tuesday, February 27th by the supporters of Elston Cardiff, National Conservative can- didate amdidate for Huron -Perth, and of Leigh H. Snider, National Conservative, can- didate for Bruce. The speakers were Mr. Cardiff and Mr. Snider, also Janes Morley, National Conservative candidate for Huron -Perth, and the Honorable M. A. MacPherson of 'Re- gina who was the runner-up- for the leadership of the Conservative party at the Otttawa. Convention, in 1938. The speakers dealt with the issues of the day and condemned the record of the Mackenzie King Government hi relation to the war effort holding that the Whole history of the Mac- kenzie I{ing administration was one cf cattiness towards Great Britain, a coldness which contributed towards boldness on the part of Iiitler in that it created in his mind a souse that there was disunity and disharmony within the Empire. The speakers pointed out that in 1937 when Great Britain: sought to. establish ler own air -training schools in Canada. Mac- kenzie King poured cold water on the proposal and thus helped to create a state of unpreparedness in the air for the fast approaching conflict. When the threat of war was evident at the Munich Conference Mackenzie King hacl time to cable Hitler requesting peace but he did not have time to cable Chamberlain offering Canada's support when Britain was in a time of danger and required solidarity of her Dominions. Even hesitated, to declare his stand until Parliament forced his hand. The speakers suggested that Mac- kenzie King apparently distrusted Great Britain and the balance of the Empire while at the same time he was ready to trust United States by building a military road through British Columbia to Alaska and to allow the United States to complete the St, Lawrence Waterways Canals an Canadian territory, at the same tine refusing to allow British of- ficers to train pilots on Canadian soil. Even at this late date it was shown that the British officer in charge of convoys from Halifax was forced to remain on board ship in Halifax Har- bour when the Liberal Minister of Defence discovered that he was oc- cupying offices on Canadian territory in Halifax. The speakers suggested that Mac- kenzie King hoer made up his mind not to face Parliament, not because• of the resolution of censure from the Liberal House in Ontario. but rather because he feared to face an investi- gation of the war contracts. which had been made by their Government, Before Parliament sat sixty-nine no- tices of motion requiring facts in respect of these contracts had been filed by Conservative members, The King Government had failed to even have these :printed prior to the sit- ting of Parliament, as is the proced- ure and custom, showing that there was never any intention of having Parliament sit to discuss these items. The printing of these would take place long before the motion: of cen- sure of the Ontario Govt. Mackenzie King feared to allow the true facts to come to light. He, and he alone, could give these facts to the public. He prefers to face. the public without the facts becoming known. If Mac- kenzie King thus fears to face Parl- iament and falters in every step of the war effort, what kind of a man is he to lead Canada in a supreme attempt to save democracy form its foes. The speakers suggested that the proper than to lead Canada's, war effort was. the Honourable Dr. Man- ion, ane of the first Canadians to enlist in the Great War, one who had already been tried ' and proven under fire, one whose gallantry had won him honour on the field of battle, one whose courage veli fitted hian, tq .be; the spearhead, of Canada's of-, fort in .the, long and perilous'.years ahead.

An international commission is also studying the proposal to construct an international highway through Brit- ish Columbia to Alaska, Both pro- jects would involve the expenditure of huge, sums of money, and the Canadian share would run into many many millions. The general feeling in Canada will be that these two expensive projects can well be delayed until after the war. The United States is not in the war and American urgency to get these :new schemes ander way before the presidential election this fall can be understood. But there is no similar' urgency- in this country, which 'has a more important under- taking in hand. The St. Lawrence waterways Pro- ject has hung fire for ten years, No harm will be done by leaving it over for another five years or so. As for the Alaskan highway, its chief value seems to be to provide a military road between the United States and Al- aska. The pe,ple in the other prov- i'nces are in no mood to contribute try `sueh an undertaking at the pres- ent "time.' Died in Wisconsin Mr. Walter Swinbank received ward on Tuesday of the death in Wausau, Wisconsin, of Fred Swinbank, a for- mer resident of this district, H,e leaves beside his wife and one son, three brothers: James of Vancouver, John of .

The funeral will be held to- day (Thursday) at Wausau, Wis.
