There mgay be some truth in it so far as the socialists are concerned, but I doubt if there are any Conservatives in England â€" cerâ€" tainly not among the party Jeaders â€" who would stand for Fascism any more than Socialism. I recall that, in one of his speeches delivered in the House of Commons before the war, Winston Churchill declared that if he had to chose between living under Fascism or Communism â€" which he hoped he never would have to do â€"â€" he would prefer Communism.. CBC, Matthew Halton gave an interâ€" esting review "of the political situation in Britain. is broadeasts have hithâ€" erto appeared to me to be decidedly prejudiced in favor of the socialist policy of the Labor Government, and he has seemed to take every opporâ€" tunity of deriding the "Tories". â€" But in this review he tried to take a midâ€" dle course of giving a boost to the Liberal Party, which he believed was in the ascendant and the chief hope for the political salvation uof Britain from communism on the one hand and extreme Toryism on the other. The fact of the matter is â€" and it is an histerical fact â€" that most of the reforms of . lasting benefit to the British people as a whole have been passed by Conservative governâ€" ments. .It may be true that many of these reforms were in the first place advocated by the Liberal Party and socialistsâ€"that is, Marxists. And this country will never go Marxist. But the tragedy is that it may gradually be pushed into it, though the socialist leaders may have the best intentions in the world. Just as there is a danâ€" ger of dictatorship, even of Fascism, from the Conservatives, so there‘s a danger of Marxian dictatorship from the ftriyg Socialists."‘ Mr. Halton‘s review consisted largâ€" ely of quatations from Clement Davâ€" ies, parliamentary leader of the Libâ€" eral Party and a "lifeâ€"long follower. of Lloyd George", with whom he had an interview. He quoted Mr. Davies as »saying: "The moderate socialists are really radicals: Liberals who desâ€" erted Liberalism because it was not moving fast enough. They‘re not true m. ithâ€" dly list and )ore But idâ€" the was ope ind entertained Friday evening at a deâ€" lightfully arranged miscelianeous shower in honor of Miss Dorh Macâ€" Donald.

But: that. is the chief purpose of the Conservative Party â€" to conserve all that is best and â€"modify extreme or hasty measâ€" ures of, reform that might upset the economic balance of the nation and thus injure the very people they. were intended to help. Such was the efâ€" fect of certain measures in the â€"Lloyd George budget of 1910, which brought about a slump in property values and put a lot of people out of business and thousands out of work. The same thing is happening in Britain today as a resut of the rush into nationâ€" alization. 0 So far as the natonalization of thae coal mines and the railroads is conâ€" cerned, there had been a growing feeling among Conservatives as well is sA _ A h oi tm bous sc PE ESm Om say, Mrs Griffin Mrs. McInnes, Mrs Prentice, Mrs. Lang, Mrs. Banick, Mrs. J.

They did not regard this as a step toward Socialism, any more than a Conservative ogvernment of Ontario intended the Hydro Electric System as a move in that direction. As Cleâ€" ment Davies says: ‘"The test of nationâ€" alizing an industry must be, will it be more or less efficient than under private enterprise?" And he adds: "So far, the socialists have worked on that principle; but one day they will find themselves forced into nationalâ€" izing things for doctrine sake; and that‘s when freedom will go." Mrs. Lang poured tea . After lunch a social period. was enjoyed. Guests included Mrs. Surâ€" The Labor Government saw the danger signal when it halted at the point of nationalizing the steel and textile industries. They realized that those industries were involved in farâ€"reaching ramifications of internaâ€" tional trade and commerce which called for free and alert privatée enterâ€" prise at home and abroad. Asked where British Liberals stand in the controversy about Russia, Mr. Davies replied: "Where can we stand? You may not like Russian ism or American capitalism. But in America there is spiritual freedom, free speech and a free press. Given that, everything else will come. Withâ€" out it, nothing elsa can come." There can be no doubt as to which the Britâ€" ish people would choose if the straight question were put to them. J. H. Brown Hostess At Delightful Shower «u: =.. _ PORCUPINE ADVANCR, TIMMINS, ONTARIO a e d it Mr. Martin (Minister of National Health and Welfare): This measure is not the unimportant measure that it has been suggested to be. Some hon. members have spoken in strong language of the soâ€"called inadequacy of the measure, but few of them have at the same time addressed themselves to what the bill does. Let me remind the house of what it does It brings to 275,000 Canadian people improved opportunities for better living. standâ€" ards. That is what it does. It gives to 60,000 aged people for the first time in their lives the opportunity of receiving an old age pension. â€"*~â€"Mr. MacKenzie: Andâ€" that is what N hon. members are opposing. vers here is "HMHow much hope for world peace can be salvagedg from the wreck?". Can Europe, an important key to peace, be reconstructed withâ€" out the cooperation of Russia? Everyâ€" one this observer has met agrees that it must now be tried. Britain and France must now take the lead in working out, for presentation to the United States an economically and politically sound plan that will evâ€" entuaily make Europe seltâ€"sustaining. CANADA‘S PART The importance to Canada of the "Marshall" plan to spend Billions of Nations Business with it many high hopes for the "One from World" that would assure lasting O‘ C1O« peace. The question now uppermost Falls in the minds of most political obserâ€" AnyY U.S. dollars for the rebuilding of Eurâ€" ope is recognized although perhaps not yet fully appreciated. The area concernedâ€" has been a very great market for Canadian goods and will be again when it becomes selfâ€"sustaining. This interest is in addition to Canâ€" ada‘s general interest in world peace, prosperity and happiness. For these reasons many contend that Canada must.do her full share in partnership with the United States in any workâ€" able plan that is devised. The Cost Canada‘s share of the cost, if she participates, is estimated to be $500 million per year for four or five years. This would be. about 8% of our exâ€" penditures of money on the last war, a small price to pay for a measure of insurance against a future war which would involve still larger money exâ€" penditures and other expenditures too terrible to contemplate. The price we will pay on both economic and political fronts will be fully justified and will need strong public support. Echoes from Parliament Closing the debate on the Old Age Pension bill July 1st.> L!'dl-l,U Business The breakâ€"up of the conference of foreign ministers Britain, Russia and France last week carried away with it many high hopes for the "One World" that would assure lasting peace.

Schumacher Visits Here T Mr. Martin: Hon. members may say that is not very much. When one considers that there now 215,000, inâ€" cluding the blind, receiving old age pensions, I think that to add 60,000 by way of an interim measure is doâ€" ing something which is of fundamentâ€" al importance. ~The next thing is that as a result of this measure five provinces have inâ€" creased their supplemental payments. The. provinces ofâ€" British Columbia and Ontario have gone up, the former to $38,75 and the latter to $40.00 as a result of this measure. This bill provides, as distinguished from the bill â€"of which it is an amâ€" ending part, that any province may increase the pension up to $50 a month. There is no country in the world which has provided the liberality of means test that is provided for in this bill. All hon. members have to do is to look at the increase in the income limits. Today we have lowerâ€" ed the age at which the pensions are payable to the blind. More Hogs for Market By September, Canada expects to be producing as many hogs as she did in 1946, or more than 2,160,000.
