J. Farmer, LA and Mayor John Queen. J. Stevens was chairman. Opportunity Differs All three speaker emphasized the point that the one real Usue of the campaign was not a matter of which of the two old line parties would be elected, but whether the present system of competition under capitalism would be continued.

Both the ojd parties stood for the same thing: Continuation of existing evil condltiona through ownership by the few. To find the cure, eald Mr. Knowles, It was necessary to seek out the difference between the rich and the poor. This was not a difference of character, or In ambi tion, or Inherent ability. It wae simply that the rich owned the means bv which wealth was pro duced while the poor had only labor power to sell and no means of production.

The question was whether the voters wanted to leave this ownership In the hands of the few, or put It in the hands of the people at large. This meant government ownership, which the CC.F. proposed to bring about. Should Enter Housing For one thing, the government should enter the housing business, to do awsy with privste profits snd make possible a decent home for everyone. This, It seemed to the candidate, was quite as logical as public control of education.

The two matters were ot equal Import ance. I The ram was true of the ques i tlnn of food and health. In all i these, private Initiative and enter i prise had failed. The competitive system had failed, but the co opera I tlve system, proposed by the C.C.F., would succeed.

"You put King out of office In 1930 because he wax so far behind the tlmee he wouldnt recognize the unemployment problem. He la still Just as far behind the times. He I still fosplllred.

For two years the rrlme minister had refused to act ttpoi Mr. Stevens' suggestions that changes be Implemented In the Canadian currency system; thst a plan be adopted to assist unemployed youth: that the banks' control of credit be challenged; and that rweatshop condition be removed.
