...think those who propose the new would do better if they were more candid. What they really are doing is asking us to give up many of our individual liberties in exchange for something which they call security. For myself, I accept the historical definition of liberty. Liberty means immunity from compulsion by the state. Patrick Henry said 'Give me liberty or give me death.' He did not say 'Give me economic security or give me death.'

Before next autumn at the latest he must fight a Canadian election, and everyone has been saying he must lose for the same reason that Mr. Hoover inevitably lost: the people are sore. Last week Mr. Bennett decided that he would not accept defeat without trying the last refuge of statesmanship, demagoguery. Overnight the leader of Canada's Conservative Party turned such a complete somersault that the Conservative Montreal Gazette said he had "done violence to every Conservative principle." More friendly Canadian commentators gave the Premier credit for having ably aped President...
