liairtiait got up this way.
We'I;, Ito make a long story short
we managed to slip all over the plate
getting as far down ,toward what they
call "God's Country" as the deep
south and blamed if we didn't run
through snow that far: Below that
place we began to slit up and take no-
tice for of a truth the sun was shin-

had been hibernating all winter.

it, was almost unbelievable. Weeks
ago we learned through our northern
papers- that ev'erything was frozen
down this way, no fruit, no vege-
tables; no nothingr=so it was some-
what of a shock to us. To see those
beau'tif'ul plants in full bbaom, that
wonderful golden citrus fruit; those
enticing looking Persian limes and
avocados. Words fail us. It is 1llke
having a glimpse of fairy land or a
pleasant dream! --one that 'will survive

Shall I Vote for
IN..G or MANIO
There 'is only one decision to be made by the
Canadian people on March 26th ... It is this:
Shall our country's war effort ,be handed over
to unknown, unnamed politicians ... to a make-
shift
ake-
shift cabinet with Dr. Manion as the self-appointed
leader ? Or . . .
Shall our country's war effort be continued
vigorously and faithfully by the known and
proven administration of Mackenzie King?
That is the question YOU must answer. -
Up a BIindAlleyt.—or-Ont in the Open.
Mackenzie King offers you something
entirely in the open ... the most truly
National government Canada has ever
known. His parliamentary followers
represent the people of every province
in Canada: — every section of our
country—every economic, social and
racial group. There is ntot. an area of
this countrq not a single classification
of our people ...without proper repre
sentation in the Mackenzie King
following.
Mackenzie King's cabinet- ministers
are well known to you. They are
broadly experienced men, eager and.
able to continue the sort of admin-
istration which' brought progress to
Canada in tithes of peace and national
pride to Canadians since the outbreak
of war.
The Mackenzie King administration
• is answerable to the people of Canada
—to no one else. .t
It is time for plain speaking. Dr.
Manion's pretence of offering
"national" government is sheer polit-
ical
olitical deceit. Because: even if be were
elected to office, Dr. Manion could not
organize or lead a truty national 'gov-
ernment. The parliamentary group
which might.follow him would fail to
represent all Canada. It would not
represent the people of the national
Liberal party. It would not represent,
'the people of the C.C.F. party. It
would not represent'the pepple of the
historic Conservative party which Dr.
Manion has now scuttled.
Do not be deceived
Dr. Manion cannot give you
National Government.
The best he might give you would be
government by unknown followers.
He invites you to follow hien up a
blind alley— to vote for a government
of his own imagination—answerable
to some undisclosed political group.
The :Responsibility is Now Yours
Canada is facing the greatest crisis in her history. It is
YOUR responsibility to say how she is to deal with
this crisis. Therefore: when you go to the polls on
March 26th . you should -consider only what is best
for Canada ...what is best for the Empire and our allies
what is the sure, direct road to Victory and Peace.
