If Canada, he said, could spend five hundred millions a year on war surely something could be spent to save Canadian boys and girls. Work and wages for those willing and able to work, opportunity for youth, and security for all, Dr, Man- ion said, were the keystones of his economic policy. i Dr. Manion went to the Youth Con- vention in Toronto after speaking the previous day at several enthusiastic Conservative meetings at Peterbor- ough, reaffirming his stand against Unification of the two railways; which he described as merely another term far amalgamation. .ROUND TRIP BARGAIN FARES 1 JULY 7-8 From CLINTON TO Stations Oshawa and east to Cornwall inclusive, Uxbridge, Lindsay, Pet'erboro, Campbellford, Newmarket, Cellingwood, Meaford, Midland, North Bay, Parry Sound, Sudbury, Capreol and West to Beardmore. l P.M.

See handbills for complete list of destinations For fares, return limits, train information, tickets, etc. Consult nearest agent CANADIAN NATIONAL Unification, the Conservative Lead- er declared, would mean the creation of a huge railway monopty capable of controlling the government, parlia- ment and the public affairs of Can- ada. Railway employees number around 130,000 and with their depend- ents there would be a total railway vote of about 250,000. This would average about 1,000 votes to a con- stituency, sufficient to swing an elec- tion., Tho Conservative Leader did not believe that Canadians wanted their Govervrment and Parliament so controlled. He did not think the situa- tion was altered in any way or that the public's natural suspicion of uni- fication was in any degree modified by the fact that twenty-five senators' had voted infavor of unification at the mecent session of Parliament. He, pointed out that the Duff Commission which spent several months investi- gating the railway problem a few years ago and advised against the amalgamation. Unification, he show- ed, would not reduce the Canadian National deficit by more than about twelve millions a year, at best. Dr. Manion stated that in the near future he would offer a plan for rail- way economy. After addressing a Conservative rally at Kakabeka Falls in his home constituency of Fort William on June 26 the Conservative Leader will speak at Fisherville in Haldimand County on June 29 and on July 1 he .will` speak at a joint picnic of the Conser- vative associations of Lincoln and Welland counties at Queenston Heights.
