MacLeod Forecasts Jap Bloc In Valley Under King Plan

of too short notice for him to accept, Air Commodore Earl MacLeod, making his introduc- tory address here Friday night

as Fraser Valley Progressive Con- servative Candidate, declared I feel that there has been a cer- tain amount of hypocrisy in dis- cussing this matter,

“I lived as a boy at Port Haney”, he told the audience, “and remember when Japanese bought their first parcel of land there. In twenty-five years Japanese represented seventy-five percent of the school population.” The people of that district, as of this, know the danger, he said, of the thin edge of the wedge with this unassimalable and, sincé Pearl Harbor, treacherous race.

The Japanese coming here, he said, were in effect small war parties infiltrating with a long range plan of world domination and belligerance. Most who be- came citizens did so for trade reasons, retaining their fealty to Japan.

He classed as impractical the proposal to include British Col- umbia in spreading the Japanese over Canada. How it is to be determined that more than our share, he asked, do not come a- cross our boundaries or gain ilicit entry. It could be only a quest- ion of time, he forecast, before we would have the unassimilable bloc in our midst again.

“The Progressive Conservatives say that Japanese nationals must not be allowed to settle in B.C. Unless we face this problem squarely now we will bequeath to our children and grandchild- ren an even greater problem than now confronts us. We must win success now.”

Born and raised on a Fraser Valley farm and owning a farm, Air Commodore MacLeod dealt extensively with the party agri- cultural program as another of the five parts of his address. Conscription of manpower, equal- |& ity of the sexes and “the grave problem of social security” were also dealt with by the candidate.

Life Insurance

Dollars Perform Multiple Service

Companies Invest - Billion Dollars In Victory Bonds

Life insurance companies in Canada have passed the billion- dollar mark in their investments in Canadian war loan and Vic- tory loan campaigns since the war began, it was announced by MC ee Smith, president of the Canadian Life Insurance Offic- ers Association.

In the Seventh Victory Loan campaign just completed, said Mr. Smith, the life insurance companies subscribed close to 170 million dollars. That figure put the companies’ total investment a the campaigns since the be-

inning of the war at $1,120,000,000.

“That total,” said Mr. Smith, means that through his or her insurance company, each of the

“That substantial average of

In referring to the manpower situation MacLeod said that the government has allowed political expediency rather than efficiency to determine its course with the result that the heart and soul of Canada had been strained and the whole war effort affected to a degree we will probably never know.

Referring to disproportionately small compulsory recruiting in Quebec versus other provinces he said, “I consider it the great- est iniquity in Canadian history.” Pro Conservative policy is clear cut, the speaker said, compulsory national selective service wher- ever required and equality of sacrifice. He expressed confi- dence that the men _ overseas would express their dissatisfac- tion in thir ballot.

Dealing with equality of the sexes, MacLeod said reform was long overdue, the party will not render lipservice only, equality of opportunity must be afforded to women in Canada.

subscriptions was made possible by the policyholders themselves. It is true that in the past féw years the companies” investments in Victory bonds have exceeded the premium income, and it is true also that the companies have been able to invest in these bonds some of the income or capital from other investments. But the great volume of the life insurance companies’ subscrip- tions has come from policyhold- ers’ premium payments. We know that by investing in Vic- tory bonds, we have invested in victory as our policyholders de- sire.”

Mr. Smith added that the life insurance dollars invested in Vic- tory bonds are performing mul- tiple service:

“They are backing Canadian men wherever our forces or our supplies are in action,’ he said, “they are so invested as to fight inflation which would be a men-

Mrs, Rolston voiced concern “that at a time when we are trying to further raise our standards, even to a thirty hour week, Jap- anese industry, utilizing man, wife and children from sunup to sundown, would be a grave dan- ger.”

Leon Ladner KC, warmly con- gratulated Candidate MacLeod on his initial, hour-long address de- livered without reference to notes. Of the cabinet crisis, Mr. Ladner asked: “what do other problems matter if our men stand in the front line facing the en- emy with no one behind them?”, quoting letters from servicemen who were foregoing their leaves, “because we are dreadfully short of men here” and “for our re- inforcements in the front line we must wait until our wounded come out of hospitals.”
