_ The General Provincial Election‘ is now only two weeks distaht, and the ranks of the opposing for- ces have taken final form in the official nominations which were held today. .

Fill" Years ago. after s. close contest. the lleople of this Pro- vince elected to office the Govern- ment of Premier Jones. You will recollect that in that campaign "it? Prlllclpal argument of Liberal speakers and propagandists was that Premier Jones was a farmer, and the Government slogan was ‘to give the farmer Premier a chance." Under the conditions then LAlSllng, it was a clever slogan. It was used to the limit, and Z feel that it won the election for the Liberal Party.

Well, Premier Jones and his Government have had their chance. Tiiey have had four years of pow- er and authority under circum- stances which ought to have been most favourable to their

The must face this contest on thei record.

A Government is judged by its rtvord. The extent of its success or failure in the past. is the meas- ure of what may be expected of it if entrusted with office again. It. is therefore the duty of each elector to examine the Govern- ment's record and to decide for himself whether or not. the con- ildence reposed four years ago should be again renewed,

Favorable Ci. cumstsnces

I said a moment ago that the Government had enjoyed its full term of office under circumstan- cus most favourable to its suc- cess. It enloyed a large majority in the House. so that it was free to implement its policies boldly’. without fear or danger of close tiaclsions or defeats.

See Danger 0i Conflict Spreading In Middle East _‘

(By J. ill. Roberts, Jr., Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst) As Jews and Arabs fight~through

the streets of Jerusalem there is

grave fear that their dispute may" set. the whole Middle East aflsme. and apprehension lest it eventual- iy involve the great powers.

American military observers in Washington ara reported to be freely discussing the possibility tlat Russia may intervene by scziding troops. ostensibly to pro- tect the Jews. '

That would create a situation which Britain and the United States, with their vast oil interests south and east of Palestine couio not ignore. A Russian military tos- hold in Palestine would be s threat comparable. to anythlns heretofore connected with her am- bitions in Greece and Turkey. This serves to- emphasize the criti- cal question of when Britain in- tends to get out of Palestine. Next August has been set as the limil. of her stay, with indications her troops might be largely evacuat- ed even before then.

The earlier Britain leaves the more critical will be the Jewish position. While they are feverish- iv preparing their own defence. it. seems that for a. time the Arabs. ivith their British-traiiied and Bzitish-oficered Arab Legion in ‘Irena-Jordan and their vastly greater numbers, will have the upper hand if they choose war. Headed by Brig. John B. Glubb. the Arab Legion is estimated to number between 15,000 and 45,000 well-equipped’ and well-trained men. It was used during the war to put. down the pro-Axis upris- ing in Iraq and also in the Allied rampalgn against the Vichyites ‘n syria and Lebanon.

The Jews, of course. can nut up iormidable resistance. They have tie brigade WhICh fought with the British Army in Italy and also. f they can be persuaded to Work together_ two tough guerilla for- ces in Hagana and Irgun.

I am informed that negotiations for co-operation between Irzuu and I-lagana are under way in Palestine today. Irgun is the mili- tant group which has fought Bri- tain at every turn, and which is opposed to partition of Palestine, wanting it all. I-Iagana stands more for law and order, and seeks to prevent Jewish excesses.

But both Jews and Arabs sl- ways have held an implied threat rver the heads of Britain and the United states that they mlgiit nivite Russia to help them Olli-

There is no secret about why Russia chose. for once. to side with the United States on the PATH-- tion question. One of her Prime policies is to get Britain out of me Middle East. For years. work- ing through highly organized cells with headquarters in Syria and Labanon, she has been Preparing to step into the vacuum which would thus be created. She would undoubtedly jump at the flgt 0P- nortunity to outflank Turkey an! Iran and extend her sphere to the environs of the Suez Canal.

This would threaten the fill! British military position new being built up in East Africa. which l! an important link in America's own world-wide defence line against Communism.

A "holy war" in Palestine now could very well present the world with the unholiest. situation since the defeat of Hitler's Axis. -

CONSIDERING ELEVATOR PROPOSAL -— The Prince Edward Island Eederation of Agriculture through its representatives at- tending the national agricultural conference at. Ottawa has not yet made any definite proposal to the conference respecting the build- ing 0,! a grain elevator at Char- lottetown, it was learned yester- day. The reason for the lack of any definite suggestions is said to be that the Federation has not yet finished its study of the practic- ability of transporting grain from Hudson Bay. It is understood, however, that the Federation is in favour of having a Government- financed elevator built as well as the construction of local storage plants under continued application of the freight assistance policy. »

Saint John Trade

Board Annual Meeting

[By The Canadian Press)

SAINT JOHN. N. 8.. Dec. 2-1“. C. Mortimer, retiring president of the Saint John Board of Trade. reported s year of progress in his presidential address tonight d s meeting commemorating the 126th anniversary of the Board. the sec- ond senior Board of Trade in Can- sda. i

Mr. Mortimer indicated future expansion in several branches of industry and predicted a start on construction of a civic airport next year. ,

He reported one oil company was interested in establishing s refinery in this ares. and there was good reason to believe that manufacture of foodstuffs would be .sta.rted here. A new textile manufacturing industry was apos- sibilfty. ,

Another possibility brought to the Board's attention was a report by its industrial commissioner, J. R. Dudley, that a United States corporation might establish s t8,- 500.000 mill here for manufacture of wallboasd and fibre board. No ‘ ' " ‘ was made, but Mr. Dudley said that if the plant nistarislised it might develop into s gypsum and cement rusnu-

iiie business meeting the presi- dent introduced the guest speaker Miss Mildred Harrington of the Model School, the subject of her address being one which proved to be most highly interesting and educative, namely her "Visit to Trinidad". Miss ‘Harrington's vivid and realistic description of the West India Islands, the climate. trees, flowers and lovely sunsets. carried her audience in spirit to vision the beauty of the south land. A contrast in climatic con- ditions was noted in the fact that ihe speaker enjoyed a swim in the Caribbean Sea on Christmas day, the temperature being ‘i2. Beauti- lill hand paintings were shown depicting landscape and street scenes, where even the tempera- nient of the native so graphically described could be noted in the fantastically garbed throng. Miss Harrington told of her experieme of two years as a teacher in the English private school in Port o.' Spain, Trinidad, which is its second largest city; her visit to tlie colored schools in the West indies, rioting the contrast in wt-rk, salaries ‘and methods. A highlight while in the south was a trip to Venezuela. British Guiana, Africa and Landon.

Miss Harrington is a most gift- ed speaker and presented her ad- dress in a charming mariner. The most. beneficial effect of her travels in many lands, she said. was “the awakening within her and a deep- ening of appreciation for her us- tive iand."

At the close of her address a vote of sincere appreciation was moved by Mrs. Frank Murray and seconded by Mrs. P‘. Walker.

This motion was supported by the Rev. Chaplain Father Mc- Cardle who voiced his deep ap- preciation of Miss Harrington's excellent address.

The unanimous vote of thanks was duly presented the speaker ‘my the president, Mrs. McMahon.

A happy social hour followed with the serving of refreshments. the hostesses being Mrs. Lorne Aoonan and Miss M. E. Bradley.
