THL;ns1;A!', 1856 Election Talk

Mr. (Jcoggu ll:-es” sugg,-estiori at a news coiitcieiice In St. .iohn's that a Federal election this fall is not by any means out of the question is one that should not go unliecded. It must be reineinlicied that at no time has the Prime .VlinIster said thei'e will he no election this year. The in- l01'9t1i'P that lie will take until next June is liascd on purely speculative C0llSl(lt'l'Hll0l1S and not on any of- llvial slalcmcnt. All that is known for certain is that an elcutioii will be walled soinciinie between now and the sumtncr of 1933. l-lut, Mr. Hoes maintains. the presen' govern- ment has given plenty of proof that it has very little respect for oppo- sition parties; and if Liberal Party strategists thought for one moment

that a snap election would be to

their advantage, there is not the slightest doubt that they would pro- ceed with it. And, of course, it would be a perfectly legitimate tactic with well established precedent to back it up. After all, governments cannot be expected to give their opponents any advantage that is within their power to withhold. That sort of chivalry is not characteristic of practical politics and it never has been.

It must be remembered, too, that Opposition speakers dared the Gov- ernment on several occasions during the recent session to submit their policies to the people at the earliest possible moment; and, although the Government did not accept the chal- lenge while Parliament was in ses- sion, the way clearly was left open for acceptance at any time. It would

it seem that the proper course for the

Progressive Conservatives-the only oposition party which is really in 1 position to assume national respon- sibility-is to proceed on the as- sumption that an election is indeed imminent. Then, if things should turn out that way, they would be ready for the campaign; if not, no harm would have been done. Snap -elections have no terrors for the wary.

Mars Drawing Nearer

Dusty and red, the planet Mars is swinging closer and closer to earth in the southern sky. On Sep- tember 7 it will be only some 35 million mile 3 way. Astronomers spread across the world, working together through the International Mars Committee, are preparing to give Mars its most intensive inspec- tion since the perfection of the tele- scope.

This observation program is al- ready under way. By the end of July two unexpected features had been found. On June 28, a cloud mass was reported high in the Martian atmo- sphere extending beyond the ter- minator, or sunset line, of the planet. In early July, astronomers of the Lowell Obseivatory at Flagstaff, A rt 2 o n s, detected an unusually bright spot some 250 miles wide on the edge of the planet's south polar lcecap. The bright spot persisted for about 10 days. but it did not develop into the vast atmospheric disturb- ance, covering some 350,000 square miles, that a similar bright spot pro-

As the Martian atmosphere clears and the planet moves closer to the earth, the 22 observatories of the Mars Committee will intensify their efforts to captuie the surface fea- tures photographically-the canaii, the oases, the rifts in the rapidly melting polar cap, and the blue-green areas thought to be vegetation. From such new information added to data gathered over the last half century. astronomers may be able to speculate with more confidence on Martian conditions - Whether U19 planet is volcanic, whether it has fl (-0139 of molten metal like earth's, and what kind of life, if any, it is capable of supporting-

Mr. Hoover's Speech

While listening to the line speech of that gI'8.Ild old man of the Re- publican Party, Mr. llcrl)cI't lioover, one was struck by the great change that has taken place ill the Repub- lican social concept of gout-I'nment since the time of his Prcsitli-ncy. Mr. lloover made no secret of his abhor- rence of any governmental inter- ference with commerce and industry and of anything that smacks of the ”welfare state". Even for democra- tic socialism-such as advocated by the British Labour Party, for ex- ample-he had harsh words. He called it the "veiled sister” of Marx- ism. He was consistent, of course, t'or that was his policy as President: but he was speaking for the sort of conservatism that has virtually pas- sed away from all democratic politi- cal forms. The convention cheered him at the end of every sentence -in his speech; but the cheers were for his courage and his eloquence, not for the laissez faire which he would like to see restored to Republican policy. Perhaps no more than a dozen delegates in the convention hall would agree with him in this; and not even they would publicly admit as much; for to do so would be to run counter to President Eisen- hower's liberalism which, in its es- sence, differs not a whit from that advocated by Adlai Stevenson.

Taking one thing with another, and allowing for differences of lan- guage and emphases, the Republi- can policy and the Democratic policy with respect to social concepts as they apply to government are so much alike that they allow for very little argument. Whatever contro- versy there is has to do with meth- ods of administration rather than with beliefs.

For all that, Mr. Hoover had a message for us all, Canadians and Americans alike; the message that social legislation of one kind and another, helpful though it is, and indeed necessary in the complex society of our times, ought not to be regarded as the summum honum in life. Private initiative and re- sourcefulness are still the forces which give the greatest strength and vitality to any society.

The pipeline which General Ridge-way told me at SHAPE in January 1593 should be complet- ed by the close of I954 and which General Gruenther told me here In January 1955 ought to be ready by the close of 1956, still lags. En- gineering problems will delay com- plellon until the close of 1957. But it is growing pond will bring fuel from well protected underground blast proof routes to every air- field on the 4.00 mile Front, to us again guaranteeing the mobil- ity of allied Air Squadrons Rus- sia still appears to have nothing comparable. Her oil must cross 2,000 miles of land from the Cal- , plan Sea to the Front - across ter- rain open to our bombing It will prove I very vulnerable supply route.

ANOTHER FACTOR

One other lacto emerges from an up to date su vey of the pos- ition as it affects both sides of the Iron Curtain. The Russians must depend upon a "Polar War" if they would send Bomber: to the Vitals of America's industries The free world has at its disposal, I chain of sirfields built by Ameri- can resources round the world. These encircle Russ-is. Siberia and all communist lands United States strategic Air Command - now to be aided by Britain's gowing force of jet bombers - is able to reach the Vitals of Russia from these airfields.

It confers flexibility upon our Air Forces and assures that all these airfields cannot be struck at once. The Russians are in an in- ferior position for they cannot bomb from across the Pacific - but only from air bases on their own great landmass.

Faith in SHAPE is thus pinned chiefly on the powerful deterrent now growing with modern air- craft and nuclear weapons. Both leaders stressed to me that thus is made up of balanced ground and air forces and of navies where required. If strong. it becomes the cheapest insurance and effective- ly prevents a war because the threat of retaliation will be too much for an aggressor to risk.
