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.

Wait Till The War Is Over
•
(Calgary Herald)
There has been a renewal of
negotiations between the Canadian
and United States Governments on
the St. Lawrence waterways project.
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

mer resident of this district, H,e

enson and George Swinbank, deceased
was born and educated in Clinton:
He worked for Hodgins Bros.' for a
few years and as a young man moved
to Wisconsin where he has since re-
sided. The funeral will be held to-
day (Thursday) at Wausau, Wis.
