| Description: | Mackenzie King was Prime Minster of Canada during 1921-1930 and 1935-1948. His early involvement in social work influenced his approach to dealing with industrial strife and the plight of common people, and induced him to pursue harmony in the workplace and expansion of the welfare state. During World War II he was torn between his desire to support Great Britain militarily while not antagonising Quebeckers with conscription. He attempted to facilitate relations among the Allied leaders, and to advance the role that Canada played in the post-war world.
This is a collection of Mackenzie King's speeches made prior to the Great Depression. [Suggest a different description.] |
