IN THE DAYS NEWS

Hon. Thomas A. Crerar, who today
enters upon his forty-fifth year. is one
of the outstanding figures in Canadian
politics. In recent months he has been
especially prominent through his lead
ership of the so-called agrarian move
ment / nthe Dominion. Mr.. Crerar was
born in Molesworth, Ont, and early in
life began to take an active interest
in politics. When the Unionist Govern
ment was formed during the war he
was offered and accepted the post of
Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa In
1919, however. he resigned his place in
the cabinet and left the party in con-
sequence of the budget proposals of
that year. Since then he has cam
paigned over a large section Of the
Dominion in the work of organizing
what has been styled by its adherents
the National Progressive party. and of
which he is the recognized leader.

ON YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
Not Necessary to Part Title With Your

As a general rule IL is bad business
to borrow money. However, when a
man needs money he might better
borrow on his assets than sell them.
In fact. that is just what a business
man does when he needs money. He
goes to the bank and pledges his prop

have as collateral for a loan. Then he

MINORITY RULE MUST END.

Prof. John Bassett Moore, former
counsellor of the State Department,
favors changes in our governmental
machinery that would limit the Presi-
Dental tern to two years, permit cab
met officers to participate in debate in
both the Senate and House, and re-
move the immunity of the President
from Interrogation when he appears
before Congress to deliver an address.
Mr.. Moore believes such drastic in
novations, involving amendment to the
Constitution itself, are warranted by
the experience the country has been
through in the past four years. Not
only was Mr.. Wilson elected President
in 1916 by a minority of the popular
vote, about AZ per cent, but his poll
cies were emphatically repudiated in
1918 in the face of his urgent appeal
for support. But Notwithstanding
those facts the President stayed in
office, constantly engaged in trying to
force upon the people propositions
which they did not want and which
they had rejected by their votes

of a minority party for full half his
