In his parting address, Mr. Meighen criticized the Mackenzie King government for establishing a "radio monopoly" and for Its military policy which he con tenance of an unnecessarily large home defence army while Canada did less than other countries in giving fighting men for service In war theatres. Thp first order of business at today's session of the convention was a proposal to change the party s name to incorporate in it the word "progressive."
