Ontario Liberals Quit

A; 1a,; twelve. Ontario Liberalunembcrs of the last Parliament of Canada have decided not to seek re-electioti on June ll. 'li\\'o 0f these haie received uppoititttieiit t0 pt-‘rlllélllfilll places, but the others are returning to the status of private citizens, a shift, notes the Toronto T€lP_(/l'llll|, seldom palatable to those who have tasted oi ilie honors and entoluttietits of pllblli? office-wilting iii the llousc of Commons, travelling oii a railway pass and hob-nobbing with the great iii Uttawzfs society. Only an overwhelming conviction that the electors have no further use for their services and would turn thumbs dawn on them at the polls will ween lllt'l\i [iiiliticiztiis front seeking re-election. ‘

Two telutziriti cabinet ministers are dropping out of [he race. lloii. Norman A. hlclsarty‘, who “a, gccyctai-t- at’ 5mm, will not again contest lissex \\‘est ‘at thc election.

in Tllfiilllli. two riditigs, Trinity and Spa- dina. have been vacated by their representatives iii the la-t Parliament. Arthur Roebuck has withdrawn to ill? safe shelter of the Senate and Sam Factor has accepted appointment as a county judge. Both gentlemen may have read the swing of the political weather vane and rc- menibered the r84 saying. any port in a storm.

Not all the Ontario Liberal members of the late Parliament were so fortunate. W. R. Tomlirison of Bruce failed of rcnomination at the party convention and similar fate has over- taken Dr. l, l\'. lllair in Wellington North. The list of voluntary retirements from public life of Liberal members in the Nineteenth Par- liament is quite extensive. William A. (Billy) Fraser will not again mntest Northumberland. Arthur Slaght, K. C.. who represented Parry Sound. is iiot a catididate. The veteran mem- ber for Latiibtoii West, Ross Gray is dropping out and so is S. Murray Clark, of Essex South.

The sage of Pickering, \\'illiam H. Moore, is retiring; a very definite loss to the councils of the nation. Still another retirement is Fred Sanderson of Perth. .\Ir. Sanderson has not enjoyed the best of health. In Eglinton, Fred Hoblitzcll carried t-his predominantly Conserva- tive riding into the Liberal column in I940 but he is not a candidate this time. Mr. Hoblitlcll found little that was to his liking in the methods of the Mackenzie King Government. The ctier- gctic and capable Progressive Conservative. Donald Fletiiiiig. will return Eglinlon to the Conservative fold in the present election, the Trlrgivziii predicts.

Mr. King And Japan

Prime Miiiistt"; Lhiirchill told the nritish House oi Ciiiiiiiions that conscription of men for the British attired forces will continue dur- ing the war against Japan; added that con- scription essential to provide for the re- allocation of uiaiipuivei" to relieve men who have served long pcritids, and to provide man- power for armies fighting japan and occupy- ing Gerniatiyf

He means tiiore business, clearly, says the Olltimi liiirr/iiil, than our .\lr. hlackeiizie King, whose plrzii of fighting japan amounts to little more than not stopping anybody among us who

wants to iitdlll japan —- with the result that our part agauist the laps must be highly‘ titt- certttiit tiiiil. iiieviialil_v, unequal in sacrifice.

to come honit- and slay home, he can do so. \\‘t- will rely upon the iiicti ill uiiiftiriii who will wish to star iii uiiiioriii, and will voluntarily offer to join in the fight against japan."

\Vl\et this metros is that the Government is going to dcpr-ziil tipiiii the men who have been (loiiig the iiglriiij; against (ieruiztiiy to turn around iioiv aiid do the fighting against japan -—to depend upon this while here in Canada it has thousands of incii in uniform who have clone no fighting at all.

to take the obviously sensible precaution of having n few control; as possible still central- ized nt Ottawa when Japan surrenders, and when practically all of those controls may dis- appear overnight. And this applies as well to the excess profits tax-a form of business regi- mentation which will be of doubtful constitu- tional validity, when Canada is at peace and all Provincial rights and powers are vested where they belong.

The election may hold the limelight, but it is the homecoming of the boys that holds the hearts and imagination of the average citizen.

To give the devil his due, Prime Minister Mackenzie King was partially correct when he promised (I) there would be no extension of Parliament, and (2) no wartime election.

Joint political meetings are now a thing of the past, on the principle, no doubt, where two parties is company, three is none.

The graduation of nurses remitids tis there is a scarcity of students these days, which is somewhat discouraging. The competition of the Government for female help is largely re- sponsible, and now the war iii Europe is over surely parents and girls themselves will real- ize what a fine future there is for them in this great and glorious profession.

More political smart Alickisml imitating Prime Minister King's tactics in Ontario where he called the Federal election for the same date as the Provincial one, Premier Walter Jones has called the Provincial by-clcetion in Cardigan, to fill the vacancy caused by Hon. Mr. Mc- Pheek resignation, for June 4. Thus there will be two elections within a week without the slightest necessity, and only to cause confusion.

The Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow. is to be congratulated on its detcrttiinaticm to keep afloat after the disastrous ‘fire which wiped out its premises and plant last week. By the courtesy of its contemporaries it hopes to be able to keep its subscribers supplied with a “pony service" until such time as new prem- ises and plant are secured. One misses the breezy Chronicle, a characteristic production of Nova Scotia brains and independence. C I I

Each B. C. public school will shortly receive a copy of “Canadian Democracy iti Action" by George W. Brown, department of history, Uni- versity of Toronto. The department of educa- tion has ordered 5,000 copies of this booklet. It was first printed two months ago and has been distributed to the schools of Untario. It explains, in language or school children, the workings of British Parliaments and the Coti- gress of the United States and covers Can- ada from colonist status to independence with- in the British Commonwealth of Nations tinder the Statute of Westminster. It explains also the Canadian system of laws and courts and responsibilities of municipal governtiieiits.

I i i i -.1."— In a recent survey of educational needs for remote areas of the far north, Mr. C. H. Piercy, administrator for northern Saskatche- wan. reported that practical education is need- ed for the boys and girls living in the north- laiid. As almost every family in the north own- ed an out-board motor, owing to the number- less waterways, motor mechanics should be in- cluded in courses for the boys. Clthcr courses for boys should include, conservation of for- ests and animals; mink fur farming; simple economics, including information on the value of furs and goods used in trade; the use of
