there

a

in

invited
us
all,
as
soon
as

to
make

of
this
fine

Parts
of

POLITICS
Editor,
Daily
News:
Listening
the
other
evening
to
the
speech
of
Elliott
Little
on
be-hair
of
John
Bracken
and
the
Progressive
-
Conservative
party,
I
was
astounded
to
hear
the
Mackenzie
King
government
accused
of
being
responsible
for
the
state
of
affairs
In
Quebec'
As
one
who
knows
something
of
the
political
history
of
Canada
during
ths
past
fifty
years,
I
Wsuld
say
that
the
people
may
judge
who
has
made
the
greatest
contribution
to
the
Quebec
situation
as
it
exists
today.
It
Is
the
privilege
of
Mr.
LltUe
or
any
citizen
to
express
preference
for
Mr.
Bracken
over
Mr.
King
or
for
free
enterprise
as
against
socialism
or
the
policy
of
the
C.C.F.
but
history
should
be
allowed
to
condemn
or
defend
the
past.
The
situation
in
Quebec
Is
the
same
today
as
it
has
been
as
long
as
I
can
remember.
The
force
that
developed
and
perpetuated
prejudice
and
senti
ments
in
Quebec
I
do
know
but
I
imagine
its
roots
lie
In
the
Plains
of
Abraham.
Let
us
review
the
political
history
of
the
last
48
years
lri
Canada
and
see
if
the
good
old
loyal
Conservative
party
has
done
anything
to
eradicate
Quebec's
policy
of
Isolation.
Was
it
an
appeal
to
prejudice
or
national
responsibility
in
1896
when
an
attempt
was
made
to
make
a
national
issue
of
the
separate
school
question
in
Manitoba?
What
was
the
attitude
cf
the
Conservative
party
when
Sir
Wilfrid
Laurler
sought
permission
from
Parliament
to
proceed
with
the
development
of
a
Canadian
Navy
in
1910?
The
Conservative
party,
under
the
leadership
of
Robert
Borden,
said
"No,
we
In
Canada
cannot
build
ships.
What
we
can
and
should
do
Is
make,
a
cash
contribution
to
tht
Mother
Country
to
build
and
operate
the
ships."
Sir
Wilfrid's
reply
was:
"We
shall
learn
by
trying."
In
1911
when
the
Laurler
government
sought
re-election
on
the
Issue
of
reciprocity
with
the
United
States,
the
Conservatives
raised
