ioaiesxszuu ALr Lgqu Present Opposition Bole Best For NDP The gain in popular favor shown for he New Democratic Party in current Gallup Polls ls overshadowed by sit uation that developed more than two score years ago In 1943 support for the COP the Lib eral and Conservative parties stood al most exactly equal in the public opinion oils Yet two years later the final tally In the federal election gave the Liberals 125 seats tiic Conservatives 67 and the SCI 28 Twenty years ago the CCF party was not reeeivrng the assistance in image buiidin the NDP is today from the leaders ip of the old line parties Ilt is continuing to be dissatisfaction with Liberal and Conservative machinations rather than positive acceptance of NDP tenets that influence the opinion polls However for those who do turn to the NDP as the party best suited for eople like me the opinion of Mr Co dwell the socialist leader with the stature and public appeal to lead his country is And Land worth recalling Bruce llutchlson re ports an interview many years back when Mr Coidweli was asked where he would get the money to finaneeIhis grandiose program he said in the high er income brackets Unfortunately on examining the actual figures he found that the money wasnt there alter all In honesty Mr Huichison com ments Mr Douglas must say that he intends today to squeeze the middle and lower brackets with over taxes or more likely with covert inflation and to regulate all aspects of life under an all wise state For the future of the country and of the NDP too the socialists are bet ter placed in their present opposition roles Without llie responsibilities of office they can demand all manner of social reform In office it would have to admit the full cost of ND promises and recommendations It would be an em banassing revelation for the socialists and an expensive one for the country DOWN MEMORY LANE 45 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Jan 19 1922 Town of Barrie bond issue $140000 sold to

by govern ment with money to invest the only al ternative method of maintaining Canad ian development is to go on accepting the inflow of foreign investment capital chiefly from the United States And if US interests are going to put their money to work in this country it is only realistic to expect that they will want to entrust its employment to American management and technical experts Why should they put their money in un tried Canadian hands when American experts can be employed The temper ament of Us investors in this respect may make Canadians uncomfortable but it happens to be fact
