We commend this appeal to all freedomâ€"loving Canadians. Now more than ever, with our nation at war, is it necessary to conserve our resources. Here is an opportunity to keep our Canadian capital in our own Dominion. The Waterloo Mutual Fire, founded by Waterloo citizens four years before Confederaâ€" tion, has presented another very commendable statement. It is one of which the policyholders, field force, officers and management may well be proud.

In this kingdom our loyalty is owned diâ€" rectly to God, under Him. to His worldâ€"wide family. United That is the way Mr. Hepburn talks about the First Minister of the Dominion. Can there be any other conclusion than this: that his utterances are the outcome of a personal hatred? He refers to Mr. King‘s addresses as "bunk" and "twaddle". But what words would fitly describe his own reckless, discourteous and malicious statements? "I would suggest that Mr. King lift the blinds on his summer retreat at Kingsmere, peep out, and then go back and hibernate again. It strikes me that is about all he has been doing for the past four years, and he might as well continue." Of more recent date, there have been remarks from which the#following excerpts are taken: â€" * "Mackenzie King has not done his duty by his country, and he never will. It isn‘t in him. I sat with him at Ottawa for eight years and I know him." "So farâ€"as the leader of the Canadian government is concerned, I have not been able to provoke him into an open quarrel, although I have tried to do so with great dexterity on frequent occasions." "So far as Mackenzie King is concerned, his in significance protects him." it is instructive to examine some of the things Mr. Hepburn has said about (and to) Mr. King. He deâ€" seribed him, for example, as "still licking his wounds from personal defeats suffered in Ontario. . Premier King never did like Ontario," he declared. Mr. Hepâ€" burn had made this ridiculous charge before in someâ€" what different language: "Mr. King has been bitterly hostile to this province for a long time. 1 know, beâ€" cause I was in the federal House." Again and again Mr. Hepburn has said that he knows certain unfavorâ€" able things like this about Mr. King because he sat under him at Ottawa. Let in 1985, while his recollecâ€" tion of Ottawa was fresh in his mind, this same Mr. Hepburn told Ontario audiences: "We want men at the helm who have vision, statesmanship, and all those qualities that we need so badly today. Canada needs King! I say that because I sat under him for eight yelirs. 1 know the calibre of man he is." It is now being pointed out, as excusing this discrepancy, that Mr. Hepburn recently said: "I don‘t care how mny‘ time I change my mind as long as I‘m right in the finish."" But this sort of thing is not just a change of mind. It is a complete reversal of what Mr. Hepâ€"‘ burn says he actually learned about, Mr. King at Ottawa. In one case or the other, what he says must be untrue. As a matter of fact, Premier King is a mnative of Ontario and has always manifested the ; kindli¢st regard for this province both in word and action. ; x I sort "of spprodth ‘Yrom that which has characterized the Premier of Ontario.
