Its most malignant form--Russian commun- ism--has over-run nation after na- tion--and has, as its goal, world domination," Lew McConkey, Sec- retary of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, told a Kinsmen Club meeting in Hotel Genosha last night. Time has proven that "only the free can be strong". It is the will to defend freedom that is weak. Freedom's battle is being lost by the failure of 'freedom's friends to defend it, to make its virtues known to the last citizen, to expose the false claims of the collectivists, Mr. McConkey said. "If we, who still have our free- dom, wish to preserve our liberties, we must resolve now to start a smashing counter-attack and roll | threatening tide of statism," he asserted. "If courageous men, regardless of party affiliation, in federal, provincial and local governments, will strongly uphold private enterprise against collectiv- ism, their influence can help turn | up the flickering lights of liberty. And never was it more important for each citizen to do his part to | build an alert and mobilized public opinion, for in any free society governments respond to informed public opinion." development of the 'petroleum age'| during the last 50 years and the | fact that the United States was the scene and origin of the major pet-| roleum developments, had a direct, | Liberty, Mr. McConkey explained, | an be destroyed oy revolution, or | ty. by the slow process of attribution een hing bhck ontput sinc | 1 iter method of wearing avay A end ol the wath Thote ARO] is the deadlier because it is decep- The outlook for 1950 is encourag- ing.

Remember: weakness cannot co-operate with anything; only strength can co-operate". Our liberty is nothing to be en- trusted into another's hands. Per- sonal liberty is something we can have only in exchange for personal responsibilities, he said. Freedom, Mr. McConkey contirnd® ) ued, is a cause that must be fought ~ for. All systems demand that men nust work; a free enterprise so- ciety also requires that all men think, "There is not a day in your life in which you do not enjoy some benefit of our Canadian way of life. In Canada you are at liberty toe act on your own convictions, and to spread them. You may speak and write about anything. You can attend any church you wish, or go to none at all.
