CHOOSING
A
LEADER
A
PRIME
MINISTER
KING
has
an-i
Inounced
that
he
will
retire
from
leadership
of
the
Liberal
Party
at
ttfe
next
federal
election.
Having
hejd
the
reins
of
leadership
for
27
ye!ars,
and
being
in
office
now
20
years
as
-First
Minister
of
the
Crown,
Mr.
King
feels
that
he
is
entitled
to
a
.well-earned
rest,
as
indeed
he
is,
for
his
has
been
no
easy
task
guiding
the
ship
of
state
during
the
past
years.
It
has
been
a
job
well
done,
and
he
deserves
great
credit
from
tile
Canadian
people
for
the
high
position
Canada
holds
in
the
nations
of
the
world.
Much
speculation
exists
regarding
the
man
who
will
take
his
place.
Approximately
a
half
dozen
names
loom
on
top
when
the
leadership,
question
crops
up:
Ilsley,
Gardiner,
St.
Laurent,
Chevrier,
Abbott,
Clax-ton
and
Martin.
There
are
of
course
several
factors
that
enter
into
the
choice
of
a
leader:
Is
he
popular,
dynamic,
a
good
platform
man,
a
good
mixer
with
all
classes?
Can
he
hold
the
trust
of
Quebec,
and
the
English-speaking
provinces?
Can
he
unify
the
two
great
races
of
Canada
into
a:
compact,
living
and
vibrant
Cana-dianism?
In
addition
he
must
have
a;
good
grasp
of
external
affairs
and
a
keen
sense
of
Canada's
place
in
the
international
scene.
He
should
have
the
confidence
and
trust
of
business,
industry
and
labor.

CIIEVRIER'S
-EXPLANATION"
The
Editor,
j
I
read
with
amazement,
as
many
others
must
have
done,
the
letter
written
by
Mr.
Chevrier,
Minister
of
Transport,
In
which
Ms
gives
his
"reasons"
why
the
contract
for
the
construction
of
tie
new
Canadian
National
DEMOCRACY
THE
MEANING
of
Democracy
is
I
clear
and
simple.
Abraham
Lincoln,
among
others,
expressed
it
in
ten
words:
"Government
of
the
people,
by
the
people,
for
the
people."
Webster's
dictionary
defines
it
almost
just
as
briefly:
"Government
in
which
the
supreme
power
is
retained
by
the
people
and
exercised
either
directly
or
indirectly
'through
a
system
of
representation."
And
"then
it
adds
succinctly:
"Brief
in
the
practice
of
social
equality;
absence
of
snobbery."
It
is
the
belief
in
'the
brotherhood
of
man.
It
is
the
practical
application
of
the
Ten
Commandments.
It
is
the
knowledge
that
man
cannot
live
by
himself
alone
but
that
we
must
help
each
other
and
work
together
toward
happiness,
dignity
and
self-respect.
V
Democracy,
gives
its
citizens
not
only
priceless
privileges
but
imposes
upon
them
duties
of
behavior
and
conduct.
In
a
true
democracy
there
should
be
no
tyrants,
no
leeches,
no
grafters.
There
should
be
no
room
fo'r
grafting
ward-heelers,
for
overbearing
cops,
for
selfish
politicians,
for
caste-conscious
officers
and
officials,
for
petty
dictatorships
and
arbitrary
directives.
In
a
Democracy
every
government
employee
should
be
the
representative
of
the
people
and
not
of
bosses
of
the
people.
"
In
a
Democracy
every
citizen
should
exercise
his
right
to
vote
and
every
one
elected
to
office
should
consider
the
violation
of
his
oath
of
office
an
act
of
perjury.
Democracy,
in
other
words,
is
the
principle
of
live-and-let-live
put
into
practice
and
the
realization
that
a
nation
is
nothing
but
the
aggregate
of
its
citizens.
That
is
Democracy
and
that's
all
there
is
to
it.
Soffit-
even
years
ago?
Mr.
Vaughan
stated
his
belief
that
the
co.
of
construction
here
would
be
25
higher
than
else
where.
We
doubt
this
very
much,
but
if
it
were
true
there
would
be
some
justification
for
award
ing
the
contract
to
the
lowest
bidder.
But
if
we
follow,
out
the
"logic"
of
Mr.
Chevrier's
"reason"

awarded
the
local
drydock.
I
am
surprised
that
there
has
not
been
a
more
widespread
and
voluble
protest
from
the
citizens
generally
and
from
various
local
committees
but
probably
the
Ministers
"explanation"
has
left
tjiem
speechless.
'Mr.
Chevrier
states
that
letting
the
contract
to
the
local'
shipyard
would
create
a
"serious
unemployment
situation"
when
the
job
was
completed.
Did
a
presumably
responsible
member
of
a
government
ever
advance
a
more
ridiculous
argument
as
to
why
a
contract
should
not
be
given?
IT
the
reason
were
valid
then
no
contract
should
ever
be
let
as,
oh
its
completion,
there
would
bp
a
cessation
of
work.
We
have
felt
all
along
that
Prince
Rupert
was
not
being
given
a
fair
deal
and
this
confirms
it.
It
Is
not
chly
p.
brush-off
but
Is
also
an
iAsult
to
our
intelligence.
And
if
it
were
true,
why
did
Mr.
Chev-rjer
not
tell
us
so
months,
yes
Mr.
Vaughan
also
said
that
he
thought
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
should
be
satisfied
with
their
present
rate
of
progress.
Well,
we
are
not,
and
I
hope
we
never
shall
be
so
satisfied
as
to
sit
down
and
not
try,
and
work,
for
further
progress.
Mr.
Vaughan
assures
us
of
the
Genuine
interest
of
his
company
In
the
development
of
this
part
of
the
Dominion.
How
does
he
show
his
Interest?
By
taking
off
the
Prince
Henry,
and
the
Prince
David,
by
selling
the
Prince
Charles
and
the
Prince
John,
and
by
not
replacing
the
Prince
peorge
until
more
than
a
year
latter
its
destruction?
We
are
looking
for
evidence
of
Mr.
Vaughan's
assurance
of
company's
practical
Interest
in
the
development
of
this
port
and
the
whole
area
along
the
northern
branch
of
the
transcontinental
railway.
We
would
like
visible
evidence
of
the
genuine
Interest
of
the
C.
N.
system
in
this
part
of
Canada.
And
statements,
such
as
Mr.
Chevrier
makes,
do
not
give
ui
any
confidence
in
the
intention
of
the
government
to
initiate
development
of
this
port
or
district.
It
is
up
to
ourselves
to
continue
to
press
for
the
development
of
this
part
of
Canada.
If
we'
do
not
fight
for
proper
consideration,
no
one
else
Is
likely
to
do
so.
We
who
invest
our
lives
and
our
material
and
intellectual
as
sets
in
the
area
have
a
right
to
demand
that
the
government
does
its
share'
in
not
only
making
the
fullest
use
at
present
of
the
already
big
investment
the
