Whatever may be the political differences in this country, however much your Prime Minister and my. self may find ourselves arguing, quarrelling if you like, across the floor of the House of Commons, I feel, Eke. him, that when this country is passing through not only a dificult but a daa- gerous stage, when folks talk to me. about the cost of the dole, and a finan eial burden to the country that is in itself staggering, that is secondary to the moral deterioration of our people. You cannot have men of 19, 19 and 20 years of age, whose brains are very much like a sponge, ready to sap up evil as well as good, walking the strects day after day without a moral' deterioration. Those of us who value. the future of our race gravely regard the prospects of their being the fathers of the next generation."
There will be criticism of my pre sence here to-day. Many of my friends will interpret it as an indication that I have deserted" the class to which I belong. There is no class to which 1 belong. I refuse to believe that brains or virtue are the monopoly of any sec tion."
