"Problems of Pacification: Veterans' Groups in ~ancouver, 1515-1522" iii ABSTRACT \ As the Great War 'ended Canada's* returning ,soldiers .had \ e 7. \ high hopes for social change.- Many env.isioned a ,united C ' \ ve teransl movement, calling on the Federal Government to' \ reorganize the economy in orderL- to serve the needs of the-many t rather thh the 'interests of the few. The dream quickly faded \' as veterans faced the General Strikes of 1919 and the . I unemployment crisis of 1920-1922. Meanwhile 'the economy continued ''on its familiar bobm and bust course, offering it2 \ I lrnfortunate human victims 0.~1~-the barest minumum of social programmes. This thesis describes those ve teransl groups active in ~ancou8krdurin~the 1919-1922 period. The focus is on the politics of early veteranst organizations and thkir inieraction with the labour movement. Among other sources;' the study relies on information from the official documents of the associations, military intelligence reports and newspapers., Re turned servicemen were far Yrom .united. The largest' Vancouver group, the Great War Veterans' Association, was -- ~~-3iny-one of many' organizations. Several large pro-labour A - veteransr grgups were also active in the city. The GWVA, controlled by' a &nservat iva faction, opposed the Vancouver I Gene'ral Strike. Other groups supported it'. Most of the rank and file seem to have beem ambivalent. After the strike veterans w,ere further fragmented as the GWVA lost many of i'ts members to the Grand Army of United Veterans, a more ' politically oriented group, which demanded a cash {bonus for ex-servicemen. By December 1920, the first toime that the , veterans were able to take part in a British Columbia 1 provincial.elect"ion, it was clear that the lobbying tactics of the GWA had.failed. *The GAUV made several attemp'ts to form.. '. s soldier(labour/f armer political alliances, but the few that I A' A' were formed were unsuccessful at the polls. In the i unemployment crisis ctf 1920-22 the absence of a united s veterans' movement allowed all levels of government to avoid P responsibility for the jobless ex-serviceman. Some of the unempioyed, di sillusioned by their treatment, turned to , radical organizations suc)l-as the Canadian ~itionalUnion of ' ,-- Ex-Servicemen, which used confrontation to draw attention to their plight. By this time the idea of a broadly based veterans' movement had become just a memory. 4 In shot and shell I have been free 'Tis peace' that's Hell Oh God! Help Me.

Christmas 1321 - approximately seven hundred men are . crowded into a camp in the city of Vancouver. It-is not a pri;on, though:it night *ell be. Each inmate has an identification card issued by the chief df police; each has *i beendsubjected to a medical check for body vermin and venereal course which will eventually be used by- the city's wealthy . -=> inhabitants. The men are paid 20 cents an hour, and from this sum deductions are made of 20 cents per meal and 50 cents per night's accommodation; this leaves 50 cents per week for spending money. The men sleep on two tiers of bunks in one / large room. The camp is plastered with signs that forbid entertaining, speechinaking and alcohol. Camp di scipline is narsh, and authoritarian: the committee that the men form is igncred.by the caap's director. That so many men will undergo these humiliating procedures is a measure of their desperation and destitution. It is the only way they can syrvive the winter. Wh-ile the city auth'orities give relief to married men, single men can only rgceive aid if they report to the Hastings - < - s- p Park Camp. Almost half of the camp's inmates are 4 ex-servicemen. Two years earlier, on their- return from the Great War they had been greeted by cheering, flag waving crowds t - and empty promises of a land fit for heroes.

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE PROVINCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA By Henrik J. von Winthus ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of Liberalism In British Columbia from the aspect of leader influence. It intends to verify the hypothesis that in the formative period of provincial politics in British Columbia (1871-1941) the average voter was more leader- oriented than party-oriented. The method of inquiry is predominantly historical. In chronological sequence the body of the thesis describes British Columbia's political history from 1871, when the province entered Canadian confederation, to the resignation of premier Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, in 1941. The incision was made at this point, because the following eleven year coalition period would not yield data relevant to the hypothesis. Implicitly, the performance of political leaders has also been evaluated in the light of Aristotelian expectations of the 'zoon politikon'.
