Mr. Drew said: /e 1. we will maintain British institutions and strengthen the British partnership by every means within the constitutional power of the Government of Ontario. 2. We will, at all times work in effective co-operation with the Dominion Govern- ment and with all other governing bodies in Canada in all activities which will assist in the prosecution of the war to a successful conclusion, and in establishing a sound basis of social security, health insurance and protection in their old age for alt our people. At the same time we Walt insist that the constitutional rights of the people of Ontario be preserved, and that the'laovern- ment of Ontario exercise full control of its own Provincial affairs. 3. The farms, the factories, the mines, the forests. and personal services which con- stitute the five major groups of employment will be supported by appropriate legislation in their efforts to increase employment at Food wages.

Plane will be made for land reclamation throughout the Province, so that all areas which can be brought into production will be fully developed. These plans will be drafted immediately, but the actual' development of most of the areas will be deferred so that they can be placed under veterans' orghnizations in 'the period of readjustment.

George Drew' as i know hint By George W. James. Editor Conodaose Statesman Bowmanv[ge, Ontario An Ontario provincial election Is to, be held on August the fourth. A. duty now falls upon the weekly - That t readers' rtk known resident voters athat issues involved. More than that. and 'equally important—as local editors `are aware—the hardy, hard-. working, clear thinking, war coo-, serious farm people of Ontario want to know somethufg about those who, lead the parties' soon to seek their support. Issues and controversy, as thea campaign heightens, will be dealt . with In the press hi due course Thee time is now opportune to say some. thing, without political bias, about , qualities of leadership. Personal, history is a fair test of prospective^ performance. Let us then introduce George A.. Drew, leader of the Progressive • Cpnservative Party of the Province ot` Oritario. His political opponents have sought to picture George Drew as a, person aloof and visionary. Thome. of us who have come to know George as man to man, can deny that. He has vision, yes indeed!! Vision of profound and practical character. He has demonstrated. that ever since he entered puillie life, and before. His exhaustive; searchings and stern indictments, have won the inarticulate respect of those presently in power. For he_ • has forced corrective results. Often, they have sought to disparage• and. intimidate him. His complete fear- lessness and devotion to truth haves completely disarmed all oppoaente•: who dame meet him upon legitimate and proper grounds. George Drew i• first and foremost a Canadian, yet deep and strong,, and true for the Mitisk connection.., Ile is 49 yeers of age. Itie grand- father was a member of Canada's, first parliament after Confederation.. George was an officer in the Guelph;, Battdry at 20 years of age, enlisted; at war's outbreak in 1914, wast severely wounded in 1916, spent • many months in military hospitals. George Drew entered public life t In his native city, Guelph, as an alderman rad at 29 became mayor of that city. Hie administrative experience began early and has con-.- tinued through to his present poli -- tion as niember of the Provincial/ Parliament and leader of the - Opposition. But he has gone far• beyond that. Holding the view.. that riubllc Ilk demands the widest- possible knowledge, George Drew, has travelled throughout Canada,,, has established world contacts and' personalty toured the British Isles, during the Present war, seeing,,, seeking and obtaining vital informa•- tion effecting Canada and the future.. Outstanding is the fart that Wide - overseas he made particularly exhaustive enquiry into agriculture - and intensive production. No other public man in Canada hes enquired, so deeply into this vital question. Public officials and Canadian. farmers should be deeply indebted for the writings and speeches of George Drew, since Isis return front, Britain, touching the present and future of Canadian agriculture. 1 -Te has acquired both the"grass-roots,• and world view on Canada's, greatest, yet most neglected in- dustry, There is pleasure indeed in telling something of this man whose life coarse has shaped steadily toward statesmanship.
