the whiob will best ensure the fullest of suDPort to our Can adian soldiers at the front and keep Canada united If we become ft divided as under Sir Robert policy wo are threatened to become we will not only be unable to send further reinforcements across seas but wo will be making Canada a source of weakness rather than of strength to Great Britain and the Allies Germany hopes for nothing quite so much as that Canada South Africa or India may become divided and torn with racial and religious strife Were Canada to become like Ireland Russia with one faction fighting another this would most disastrous results for the whole British might even lead to losing instead of winning the war Robert Bordens policy of unlimited Conscription without bo peo ple having any right to pass upon it may lead to too serious to be The risk I believe is too to take in the face of an enemy like Sir Wilfrid policy may lead to a conscription of wealth to secure men but it will get the needed reinforce ments without disrupting Canada at a time when of all times there is need foi the country to keep united Never in Canadas history was there so serious a crisis as at tiiis moment You cannot weigh loo carefully oil the possible consequences of the vole you cast May I add that the men across the seas have had no chance of knowing what the political conditions in Canada are and the Government has so arranged the method of taking voles that there is no opportunity of placing the situation in ils true light them must therefore be doubly careful in the decision you make that their interests and yours alike may be protected 1 in mi Ml i i aw a tit I i ti a it I Wit I- wok fctfTTT a rfc iT I mm Want Now Agent in Worth York inly to sell lit and Ornamental Fall and pay exclusive lerrltor selling

forcements being raised by conscription at the present time He lifts said that the law is law must be obeyed till changed by the people He has also said that lie will con serve all thai may be done under the up to the time thul he may be returned to power lie will not repeal the Act even then but will submit to the people the question of further conscription under ils provisions at the same time commencing a Government campaign for recruits All the recruiting thus far has been left to private enterprise What Sir Wilfrid objects to is a policy of giving to a few men in a Cabinet the right of unlimited conscription for an indefinite lime without the peoplehaving any say in the matter one way other If the Government is in earnest about sending more men immediately it should he possible lo raise the number which the Act permits before any change of government comes Sir Robert Borden says il will- be the end of February or the beginning of March before we know the results of the elections so that the Government has till that time to continue sending men under Act SOLDIERS IHYKRE8Y8 I believe that Conscription once adopted in Canada will mean that the soldiers last chance for the improvement of his condition will be gone Where the choice lies between conscription and belter conditions for the soldier -and- his dependents in the scouring of men the selfish which loo often control government will see to it that above all else their wealth is safeguarded II is well to rehipmbcr in countries where conscrip tion has existed the higher command has been of the men in the ranks Hum where numbers are limited by volunteer service Where indefinite numbers can be drawn upon risks are taken with human lives in engagements that would never be chanced where numbers are a consideration The Australian soldiers voted against conscription in the trenches There is no doubt that this was a factor that influenced them as a result of what they had seen in war Conscription is only part of struggle between the Big Interests and the Common People for the control of gov ernment which is the real issue in tiiis election In this election it appears that all the profiteers and the wealthy interests are banded with the press of the cities which they indirectly influence and control to try to carry conscription in order that none of their wealth may be conscripted to offer better conditions lo men that may be needed or to do more for the men who have already gone If conscription carries we may expect lo hear very little more about the needs of the soldiers or their families and depend ents either during the remainder of- the war or after war is over Moreover under conscription much of the glory of the men who have gone lo the front under voluntary enlistment Will be taken away the Canadian Army will become a con script army in part and in the years succeeding tho war the volunteer and the conscript will bo indistinguishable the from other When are other means probably more effective of securing Ihe necessary men is this Wholly fair to those who have volunteered and to the families that have from their midst These are questions whichiyou will do well
