speaker keeve henry ogden intro duced the speaker mr hulse used the word pre paredness as the theme of his talk and related it with the condi tions which face our country dur ing the present days and days that are to come canada is closer to the korean war in actual miles than she was in either world war i or ii and it is under these con ditions that defence measures of this country should be strength ened said mr hulse some people believed that canadian troops would never be sent out of canada but the princess pats are now engaged in actual battle continued the speaker since the appointment of general eisen hower as commander in europe canadian troops will no doubt be sent to the continent in a move to strengthen the weaker wartorn countries overseas because of the nearness of the present korean war no man knows when attack may come to the north american continent itself and it is with tins thought in mind that a serious civil defence program should be set up the canadian legion a non- politieai nonracial organization lias a membership of over 350000 members with branches stretching from st johns newfoundland to vancouver islayid they as a body keen knocking on the door of parliament in order to make their views heard and have their ideas put into action if there was ever a time when members of pailia- ment should think less of their party and more of their country it is now said mr hulse but it is not the government who is entirely to blame for present day defence conditions but the people themselves who are free to express their opinions and who must make their voices heard the big problem that is facing the country today is the training of the young men of canada for the reserve army this is not asking for the utilizing of troops for overseas service but the formation of a substantial home defence army that will rise to the occasion should a sudden attack come what we need said mr hulse is national registration to find out the qualifications of the people where are our fighter pilots radar men and war workers who rallied to the support of king and coun try during world war ii as far as the government is concern ed they are iost men now there should be a countrywide stock taking so that canada would be able to mobilise her forces quick ly if the need should arise if anv- one does not believe in protecting his own and gaining the vital defence training necessary to defend his homeland he should not be living in this country the greatest safeguard against war is preparedness and no one knows that fact better than joe stalin the small weak countries are the ones which are down trodden by the aggressive nations of the world in closing mr hulse repeated the stirring motto of the canadian legion thev served why
