Day after day its propagandlscs are publishing statements to the effect that the Liberal party is certain of at least 130 seats and the only question at issue is the size of its majority. Now the ‘beet antl- dote for this sort of twaddle is the recollection of the fact that just prior to the election of 1925 Lllberal organs like the Ottawa Citizen were blithely claiming 140 seats as assured certainties, and the actual outcome only gave them 101. The truth ls that the Liberals have as rhncli chance of gaining 230 seats as they have oi securing 130, and the proof is to be found in their anxiety to enlist all sorts of allies ou their side.

They are leaving a free field to Mr. Forke and nearly a score of other so-called Progressives. they are offering no opposition to lnborl‘ tes like Messrs. Heaps and Woodsworth, and they are booming _\ir. Bourussa as a prospective member of a King Cabinet.

ln the utterances of the Liberal leaders there is no sign of any re- gard for consistence, no evidence of coherent purposes governing their outlook and conduct, no recognition of the fact that parties are only useful as" long as they are based on definite principles of politics and prepared to stand by and fight for them.

Under the leadership of Mr. Mackenzie King the Liberal party which Mackenzie, Blake and Laurler led with such distinction and pro- fit to the country has been reduced to the level of a motley faction whose lodestar is the possession of office and its perquisites, and which cares nothing for political principles or decent administration.

its famous platform of 1919 has long since been banished into the limbo of forgotten things and in Liberal circles it is almost a crlrne to mention its existence. it has always been the basic fault of Liberal parties in every land and clinic that they are more interested in the furtherance of certain so-called principles than in the advancement of lhe prosperity and Welfare of their nation. but while other Liberal part- ies atone for this fault by their steady devotion of principle, the party which owns Mr. King as its lender today offers no such compensation.

Under the circumstances is it any wonder that many well-known Liberals like Mr. A. ‘R. Macniaster and Mr. A. IB- Hudeon both of whom

The result is that in dozens of constituencies the Liberal party is reduced to a. mere skeleton of its former strength and can scarcely muster a corporafs guard of supporters.

their position so greatly since last it is quite sure that they would not be content with the small majority which would then be available but Mr. King would be going up and down the country, as in 1925, de- nouncing the Progressives as ‘political outlaws" and urging their com- plete elimination. As things are the Liberals have indicated numerous seats which they fought in 1925 to the Progressives, and made it virtu- ally lmposslble that they can secure a clear majority.
