ACTION helpless. og, 10e, 15e STORLE In a political sense, the average Canadian is the most helpless animal on earth.â€"not even excepting the Russian peasant who never before had a chanee politieally. The political situation here today pleases no one. ‘The selfish manipulators of old and now meaningless parties seeâ€"saw for professional party interests, â€" while fathers and sons and brothers die overâ€" seas in the great fight for freedom. Canadians at home cheer when they read the news that â€"Canadians overâ€" seas went forward against the enemy and did great deeds of valor; and they curse when they think of Canadians at home standing still, doing nothing, getting no funther forward, while the lads overseas ceall for support. The average Canadian wants to support to the very limit the Canadians cross the sea. He desires greatly that the war shouldl be won. He curses the manipulator‘s 6f both parties who hamâ€" per and hinder the plans that would win. He scorns the standing still.

He must realize that the government of this land is HIS particular and personal affair, that he is one of the demoecraecy, and that he must take lhis place and part and interest. He must be ready to sacrifice his time, money,â€"even his comfort,â€"to show his earnestness and his true interest. Personally, and by pen, and by public meeting, he must let the manipulators know the true voice of the people. There are leaders enough, if the average man will only follow and support,â€" Canada and the Right, irrespective of meaningless party names and poliâ€" cies that have no bearing on the issue of the day. He can openly frown upâ€" on veiled treason and muttered disâ€" loyalty.© He can let it be publicly known that he is not the silly slave of meaningless party names, but that e is earnestly, actively and loyally interested in the one great question of the day. If the average Canadian would only make himself heard by private conversation and by public meeting,â€"both being his privilege and is duty,â€" the partisans would know tfhe danger andthe uselessness of their petty, selfish games. In this demoâ€" cratic land, if the people are only earnest enough, active enough, deterâ€" mined enough, they can secure what they desire and what the country needs. iiKeCHhem . need. 1s ~oUFEU L. What ean the average Canadian do?

Under a demoeratic form of Governâ€" ment like that of Canada, the ultimate hope of the nation lies in the individâ€" 1al. It is the truth the present poliâ€" tical situation, with its evils, is due completely to the lack of interest and of effort of the average Canadian. The average Canadian in the past has been so busy attending to his own petty personal affairs, that he has had no time or talent to give to his own particular business,â€"the government of the nation,â€"his government,â€"hs special affair. _ The result has been that selfâ€"seekers have taken advanâ€" tage of the people‘s indifferencee and neglect of duty, and the muddle might well have been foreseen. _ The averâ€" age Canadian may rest assured that be will never have decent governâ€" ment, honest government, eflicient gov ernment, until he lhumself is decent, honest and eflicient, and takes lhus due share of the duty, the responsibility 11}p remedyvy feeling.

The partyâ€"mad, the pacifists, the plunderers and the poltroons must be made to understand that the average Canadian is against them. Loyal leaders must be assured beyond doubt that Canada is with them to the great end. These things can be shown by meetings voicing public sentiment, by bombarbhing pubâ€" lie men with letters of opinion, by using the press, and by personal apâ€" peal on any and every occasion. It id true that one particular man can do little. But he ean always **start something.‘‘ A hundred men can do much. A thousand can do more. A million earnest citizens, working and striving and speaking now, can save Canada‘s honor, can assure support for her sons overseas, can route the selfâ€"seeking partizans, and can take a noteworthy part in the winning of the war.
