OTTAWA. Ebb. 5 - (OP) — Jonn lsraclsen Progessive Conser- vative national leaner said wnignt in n statement that the result of KXMYS Grey North lay-election in- dicated that "decisions on military matters must be determined by military needs not by political ex- pemency."

Commenting on the election of Garfield Case, Progressive Conser- votive statement follows:-

The electors of Grey North have spoken. Once before they gave a lead tothe nationon the plebiscite. Now they have given a second one on the manpower issue. Their de- cision today will be a great com- fort to the men wno are so valiant- ly serving us overseas.

The results indicate three things: First that when a govern-

Says By-Electinn llaisas Issue 0t General Election

OTTAWA. Feb. 5 -— (GP) — Prime Minister Mackenzie King said tonight in a statement that the result of today's Grey North by- election "raises immediately the question as to L ther or not any useful purpose can be served by having nnotherflsesslon 0f parlia- ment before u general election."

In a GOO-word statement. com- menting on the election of Garfield use, Progressive Conservative, and the defeat of Defence Minister McNaughton. Mr. King said:-

The result of the by-election in Grey North raises immediately the question as to whether or not any useful purpose can be served by having another session of arlia- ment before a general eection. The purpose of the by-election was solely to make possible the res- ence 0f the Minister of Nut cnal Defence in the House of Commons at another session. Since the SP5- slon would necessarily be concern- ed with war measures. the pres- ence of the minister in the House would be absolutely essential.

The constituency of Grey North was opened bv the Government in the expectation that, in the cir- cumstances, no -pposition would be offered io the minister and a

of u-rllament before a general election would thereby be assured.

It was obvious from the outset that the Minister of National De- fence oould not give his full atten- tion to a political campaign and, at the same time, discharge his heavy war-time responsibilities. The returns make it apparent that had Gen. McNaughtozfs time in the constituency not been so lim- ited. he would have been elected.

The returns also make clear that one cause of the success of the Progressive Conservative candidate was the splitting of the vote those who are ,,. -' to reaction- ary forces.

As everyone is aware. I have all along sought to avoid a general election while our men are fishi- tng at the front.

The by-slection has. however, raised the question whether b their attitudes in the present cam- paign, the parties which have of- ltlrm to the Govern- ment in the by-election have not

Final returns showed Mr. Case, former mayor of Owen Sound an an unsuccessful candidate in the Federal election of 1940, with 1,230 votes more than Gen. McNaughton and 4,202 more than Mr. Godfrey. The complete unofficial vote: Case. 7,338; Godfrey, 3,136; McNaugh- ton, 8,099.

The victory rs resented a gain for the Progress ve Conservatives over the Liberals. The seat was| fomierly held by William Telford. whose resignation because of ill- health paved the way for the by- elcction in which the government sought a seat for Gen. McNaugh- ton, former commander of the Canadian Army oversees, who ac- cepted his cabinet last Dec-' ember after Col. J. L. Rnlston re-\ signed when the gov ‘ re-a iected his re uest that members‘ cf Canada's ome Defence anny be made available for overseas service.

The government's conscription policy and rein crcernents for the overseas anmy figured largely in the bitterly-debated campaign in which two party leaders - John Bracken. Progressive Conservative. and M. J. Caldwell, C. C. F, took

part.

The progressive returns favored the Progressive Conservative can- didate almost from the start. Re- turns from the first poll-an ad- vance poll-favored Gen. Mc- Naughtcn but his margin of six votes over Mr. Case there was soon wiped out. Once, Gen. McNaugh- ton forged to the front-he had a five-vote lead with 21 polls re- ported — but from then on Mr. Case slowly built up his lead unul his election was certain. The vote was heavier than in the general election of 1940 when there was an average vote cl‘ 12:1 a poll. With n11 polls reported io- day, the average was 130 although in the initial returns it averaged much lesshflcklng up as the urban polls in t city itself their returns. L
