when i was quite young my mother took me on a visit to her sister mother was born in scotland and her sister was scotch as heather she had married a scot a thrifty soul who in all his life never threw any thing away no matter how useless it was on the farm was an old log granary and in it were the relics of early days and in one corner a pile of papers of ancient vintage but treasurer trove so far as i wa3 concerned that granary is still to me a lovely memory i visited it many times and as i grew older 1 started to read the papers they contained stories of the crimean war the zulu war the indian mutiny and the francoprussian war of 1870 i thought of this the other day strange but true we have made more progress in war than we have in politics starting with the bow and arrow we now have the machine gun the aeroplane the battleship and the atomic bomb in war civilization does go forward even on a powder cart in politics there is a definite lag in war when something new is invented there is a counter move each trying to outmatch the other the aeroplane has been followed by the antiaircraft gun with the full power of automatic guns came dispersal and the guerillas they scatter they hide their job is to kill and destroy they are effec tive they are everywhere it may be that these are more dangerous than the big guns more nerve racking one may get used to the roar of artillery but a bullet com ing from some hidden shelter singing past your ears must be a bit unpleasant consider for a moment the other phase of life politics and states manship we cover the ground more rapidly than we ever did be fore campaigns in the old days were carried on with a horse and buggy at times on horseback now a man speaks over the radio and the message is carried to the whole country television will soon be available it will have a part in the politics of the future all this tends to separate the candidate from his constituents the politicians lose contact with the people the old fashioned political meeting had its vices but also it virtues even here there is room for improvement the average mp of today does very little homework a meeting of 25 or 50 people is a relatively small group for a public speaker but in it there is a meet ing of minds a conflict of opinions vital factors in the relationship of the member to his constituency the member needs this contact needs it more than ever before the proper type of a meeting is on where there are 50 or 75 present the candidate for office can have a quiet chat with the voters he should tell them some of the points of human interest about the house of commons and some of the men who are there and how the work is done he should emphasize his desire to give them information upon any of the issues now before parliament before the nation looking back over a long period of years 1 can think of some high ly amusing incidents on the public platform i was one of the speak ers at a political meeting in west ern ontario some years ago there were three others i was to spealc last and throw the meeting open for questions they came in a flood one man who had apparent ly been paying particular attention to the railways threw a tough one at me i answered it with a state- men of facts which certainly astonished the audience very bright of me wasnt it not in the least as you shall presently see a week or two before the meet ing i received from a farm paper a query which was almost exactly the same question i wrote the answer to it it took me a day to dig up the facts i had a copy of the paper in which it appeared ia my pocket as i spoke i had the figures on a card so that i could glance at them if that were nees- sary for once i gave the perfect answer it was complete i threw my notes down on the table and exclaimed thats the answer in regard to that next question please that may happen once in a lifetime it has never happened since so far as i am concerned man ok mule if men are not creatures of soul as well as of body they are not better than the field muls harnessed to the plow whipped and goaded to work cared for in the measure of his cost and value but too often today we incline to describe the ultimate in human welfare as a mules sort of heaven a tight roof overhead plenty of food a minimum of work and no worries or responsibilities if i doubted that man is something more than a mere educated animal 1 should personally be hub con cerned in the question of war or peace general dwlght i eisenhower its fast reaching the point for a lot of us where living within our means will be mean living
