John

Progressive

Conservative
leader,
in
an
address
at
a
political
rally
here
last
night,
promised
that,
If
his
party
was
returned
to
power,
generous
assistance
would
be
given
the
provinces
in
the
maintenance
of

Bracken
said
that
Prime
Min
ister
W.
L.
Mackenzie
King
is
to
power
by
using
Quebec
as
a
stepping
stone
but
the
people
now
understood
his
methods
and
would
repudiate
him
at
the
polls
June

For
twenty
years
prior

Mr.

obtain
his

with

blinded
the

telling

that

LONDON,

OD
The
Bri-tLsh

Association
reported
yesterday
that
William
Joyce
(Lord
Haw
Haw),
who
won
world
wide
repute
for
his
pro-German
broadcasts
during
the
war,
will
face
a
treason
charge
again
attempting
to
hang
on
in
Britain.
Joyce
and
his
wife
were
arrest
ed
by
British
troops,
British

announced
yesterday.

The
anti-British
mouthpiece
was
shot
In

as
he
was
captured
at
the
Danish
border
near
Flensburg
and
his
condition
is
repqrted
to
be
critical.
He
was
being
transferred
to
Luene-burg
by
ambulance.
A
British
soldier
fired
when
Joyce
made

move
with

In

pocket.
He
was
later
found,
however,
to
have
no
weapon
in'
his
possession.
INSPIRED
LEADERSHIP?
Does
this
attitude
indicate
Inspired
leadership
or
anything
other
than
a
narrow
isolationist
view?
Canadians
can
do
more
to
maintain
freedom

democracy
by
being
alive
In

than
six

underground
In
