Comfort of the if either be the City As a whole will and for anyone to come along and say it is time enough to build the mall when we Settle the housing or some other indicates a lopsided mentality on the part of the the Normal civic problems to have always with but a Public work like the mall comes up Only once or twice in a and to Duck away from it behind the perpetual mass of civic business does not by any Means indicate an anxiety on behalf of that business it merely indicates hostility to the proposed new building the mail does not need to affect any future House building scheme in this

and Spote rom a higher Altitude and displayed a wider Meighen and or King both spent a Good Deal of time and showed not a Little dexterity in potting one another in the but there was Little or nothing of this in sir Crefars he dealt with the problems of the Day Candor and he did not ignore the questions of the he found i ment and move towards solution in Lylw n of airn1 b if time to discuss the railway one of the greatest which confronts he had Clear and definite opinions in the matter of natural resources for the Western he was not afraid to mention the fact that Canada has to face momentous decisions As to the role she is to play in the future in the British Commonwealth of nations and in the wide Field of International he dealt with the matter of our relationship with the United and showed that he was aware that proposition to appoint a Canadian minister to Washington awaited Only action at Ottawa to become a these were questions which both Meighen and King ignored during their Western in of discussed the Tariff reaffirming the position of his party in a manner a Little More explicit perhaps than the Tariff Issue in Canada is a stated by Crerar he had no difficulty in showing that Meighen gave it a fanciful interpretation which ignored the realities of the the address was that of a National Leader appealing for the sympathy of electors at Large in support of a programme which is in no respect in either a territorial or class both Drury and Crerar were emphatic in denying that the movement with which they Are identified Aims at any class advantage and in this Contention they were supported by the programme which1 they but they did not because in the present nature of things they could that the control of this great and promising movement is free from class in this fact the most serious problem of party with which in his own they Are themselves Superior to class feeling they know that the new political movement cannot become the Agency for the carrying out of great National policies for the Good of the country unless it becomes truly National in character and they Are confronted with the problem of converting associates who take a narrower View to a Ness to cooperate with them in lengthening the cords and strengthen the stakes of their upon their Success in this really depends the future of their there is undoubtedly
