No Bearing

it has been suggested. whether facetiously or seriously we cannot say. that the Provincial Govern- ment should resign in the near future and seek a new mandate from the el0cl0l'ate. Two reasons have been advanced for the proposal: (1) The by-election in First Queen's revealed a lack of confidence in tile (iovcrnment. at least in that one constituency; (BI Now that the Progressive-('onscrvatives are in power at Ottawa. albeit pl'fl('Rl'l(lLlxt- i). no time should be wasted in giving the voters of the Province an opportunity to elect a (lovem- ment of the same name. The ill- fcrrnrc that the new situation that has arisen the Prov- ince under a P. C. tlovcrnmcnt would he more likely to obtain sympathetic treatment of its prob- lems from the powers that hc.

it:

As tar as the by-election results are concerned. they may or may not reflect lack of confidence in the

tiovcrnmcnt on I Province-wide basis Rut a Government which commands the support of five-

sivths of the Legislature can hardly be expected to pay much attention to the results of one mid-term con- lrsl. except of course to hurry about the task of mending its fences pre-

paratory to the election when it must come. Anyway. one by-elee- tion is not enough to indicate a

trend, although in this particular-' instance there is some reason for believing that it does. Even if that be allowed. it still is not clear why the Government should stakis its life on an election three years ahead of time.

As for the alleged benefits of lWVl"L'. a Provincial Government in political harmony with the Federal Government, past experience has proved them to be illuslonary. No one would say that this Province is Iny better off because the Liberals were in power more than twenty years both provincially and fed- erally than it would have been had the t'onscrvalives held sway at Ot- tawa. Nor would anyone suggest that New Brunswick. under a (Ton- servative Government for the past five years was handicapped be- cause the Liberals happened to llf-'. in Federal office.

As a matter of fact, this notion that the Federal Govemment ought to look kindly on a Province with a gnvcrlnncnt of the same political label and unkindly on one which has it government of I different label is both undemocratic and morally wrong. The Federal Gov- ernment -- any Federal Government -- -is bound to treat all Provinces fairly with respect to their fiscal needs irrespective of the kind of "Wil L'nVcrnmcnts they may have. To do less would be to be unmind- fnl of its constitutional responsibili- Hes

'lilii-.- l'imince has certain griev- aii.-eu which ought to be redresseri. The redressing process should start immediately. it ought not be made to wait on I change of Government in the l"rovincial field. That may come iatcr. But whether it does or not. it has no bearing on our just claims.

r The Same Goal

Since the all-powerful Nikita ,3 Rhnishchev removed I number of his "comrades" from important ' poiiitimiii in the party and Govern. merit many thousands of words have been written on the possible Inplicstione of this lstest turn in official Soviet policy. 'l'he consen. ms seems to be that the episode will contribute at least temporarily to some relaxation of tension in in-

out of politics and spend the rest of their lives in quietness and sobriety.

As for the first assumption. no one knows whether it has Iny vali- dity or not, for Mr. Khrushchev is a man of many complex traits. As for the second. it is a little difficult to believe that I man like Molotov will submit to humiliation so long as there is any opportunity for counter intrigue. in the Stalin era Iuspected nonconformists were simply lined up against I wall and shot. That this summary course was not followed in this instance may he considered a victory for whatever rivilizing influences still exist in the Soviet Union. It may. however. be less practical in I poll- tical sense than the Stalin tech- nique.

Of course. the fact that Messrs, Molotov. Malenkov, Kaganm-itch and Shepilov came out of their Sll'Ut'-Zgie with Mr. Khrushchev alive is no guarantee that they will con- tinue to be shown mercy. Indeed, Pravda's.reminder that "no punish- ment" is too severe for plotters against the party would seem to indicate that the final act of liqui. dation has merely been postponed to a more convenient season. Nor should the possibility that the whole thing was a trick to lull the West into a dangerous optimism be over- looked.

In any event, out of thc specula- tions and ponderings pursuant to this upheaval in the Kremlin there must come one plain fact: nothing that has been done by the Soviet Presidium or no word that has come from that body has repudiated or even belittled the fundamental goal of Soviet policy -- world conquest. This was the goal in Lenin's time and in the Stalin cra. There is nothing to justify the hope that Mr. l(hi-ushchev has called it off.

A Fine Gesture

('an.:idians will take satisfaction in noting that the Canadian Red Cross Society has donated 550.000 towards funds being raised in the United States for relief of the suf- ferers from the hurricane and tidal waves which brought death and destruction to the Louisiana coast.

"There is." comments the Ot- tawa Journal. "a kinship in disaster which takes no account of frontiers.

we see it. if at all, only as far-rang- ing tourists. but when the need arose we were ready, through our Red Cross. with the only practical assistance we could give the strick- en area. This Canadian money will do something to bury the dead. to save the living and restore their homes. and as a gesture of friend- ship and sympathy its significance will not be overlooked by our Ame erican neighbors."

Mr. St. Laurent was living in I small apartment in centre town when he became Prime Minister. it was to provide the practical con- venience and International dignity of an official residence that Parlia- ment thcn took the step of pro- viding a suitable home.
