More Liberal Chickens

Liberals are blantittg the C.C.F. for thcir party's defeat in Otttztrio, and judging by the ex- prCSSiOns uscd in some (juarters they are feeling pretty sot-c. But as the Globe and Mail recalls, that's just ztttotitcr political chicken coming home to roost. When the Ottawa Liberal Party tied up with the LLLYIT, in South York to defeat Mr. Mcigltcn it started something which had reper- cussions lust week. It gztvc an impetus to S0- ciaiist driving power, and nowgthe Socialists are vying with the Progressive Cottservatives for firs; pnsitiott. \\'l1cn 1\Ir. Nixon asserted that he stood bcltittd Mr. King, come what may, and when he bccatne so obviously Mr. King's leader in Ontario, he had to carry the Federal Prime Minister‘; political sins. Accordingly, Mr. Kittg inst his scrvilc Ontario following and gave the C.C.F. a lift which it was quick to grasp.

Women's Service Forces

The 27,000 wontcn already in the Navy, Army and Air Force have proven what a wide variety of duties women can perform capably in the services. They have proven, as hundreds of thousands of womctt throughout the United Nations are jirovittg, that they can play just as essential a part in the conduct of this war as thvir brothers-in-uniform.

The fact, of course, is that jobs like driving trucks and tractors, operating signals systems, coding tttcssttgcs, tttannittg operational rooms, stztffittg cqttiptttcttt rooms, photography, and ail. kinds of clerical work, catt be done just as well by womctt as by men. There's nothing "auxi- liary" or supplementary about them. They are essctitiai iiths which must he done by someone. 1f cnhttylt womctt don't come forward and voluntt-ct" 14> take over all such jobs, physically fir int-n Whit ltnvc been trained for combat must sttty iiCliiilll and do thcm. It's as simple as that. 11 should he as obvious as that to young womcn

of rt-zt-otutiiic fitnvss and qualifications.

The ut-w pay rcgttlatiotts for service women just ttttitnttttvt-d itclp to climittate any financial ohstztclt-za which tnay ltttvc been holding some W0- tncn bztclt front enlisting. Service women now

60,000 are understood to be reinforcements. He has about 250,000 in the army in Canada of which some 80,000 are on operational duty. An- other 80.000 are in training and administrative 'obs.

“What this means i: that Mr. Ralaton has 60,-

ooo reinforcements overseas, plus 80,000 rein- forcements training in Canada or 140,000 for an overseas army of 140.000 only one division of which is yet in action. While Mr. Rnlston defends his administrative army of 80,000 as be- ing 60 per cent below A category and over 35, surely he could comb a good many thousand out of that group in a pinch. . . “Crux of the whole situation, of course, i: that the Administration. after almost four years of war, still has no real manpower policy; that it still refuses to look at the facts of our man- power situation, then to adopt and carry out ef- ficiently, courageously and scientifically a. real policy of national selective service in which each Canadian does that wartime job for which he is best fitted and in which there is sober and in- formed distribution of manpower between the four armies of total war: the fighting army, the industrial army, the farm army and the essen- tial home front service armv."

Premier Thane Campbell used to take credit for providing the unifortttally good weather for Exhibition and races; let us hope Premier Jones will follow suit.

1F i i Premier Harry Nixon has demonstrated at the cost of his own premiership, how right he was in calling an Ontario election this summer remarks the Gazette. A cabinet less represen- tative of public opinion titan his own could hardly be imagined. Of eleven minister to face the electorate, four ltave survived. Of three score seats, the Liberals retain a scant 13——d0w1t 5o from the 63 out of 9o they won in I937. Ontario voters have shown what the Dominion suspected, that their views have alter- ed radically since 1937. i fi i John Wilson Croker, British Statesman and author, died this date, i857; was the first to introduce "Conservatives" as a descriptive name for the constitutional party in England as op- posed to bVhigs or Radicals as applied to what afterwards became “Libcral"; wrote a strik- ing condemnation of Keats's “Endymion” for the Quarterly Review; also was author of "Stories for Children From the History of Eng- land", on model of Scott's "Tales of a Grand- father": “We (constitutionalistsi have always been conscientiously attached to what is called the Tory, and which might with more propriety be called the Conservative Party." Quarterly Re- view, January, 1830. i i I U

Mr. A. H. Bence, Progressive Conservative member for Saskatoon City, has obtained from the Government a statement of the cost of print- ing speeches delivered by Primc Minister King and other members of the cabinet since the com- mencement of the war. The total is $47,154, says the Gazette. Twenty-nine speeches made by Mr. King, including one delivered jointly with the late Minister of justice, Rt. Hon. Ernest Lapoittte, and cat-Minister P. A. Cardin on the I942 plebiscite, cost the country $36,170. The printing of nineteen speeches by other cabinet ntinisters was 0n a somewhat cheaper scale but amounted to $10,984. Was it necessary to spend nearly $50,000 of the taxpayers‘ money on the printing of these addresses? . . . Something close to $50,000 may not seem much to a gov- ernment which is spending billions but to the in- dividual citizen who is being called upon by this same government to scrimp and save in order that he may pay his taxes and invest in Victoty Bonds, it is quite a lot of money. What did the country get for it? ‘

n- u a s Federal Agriculture Department officials an- nounce that assistance of farmers and rural school children is being enlisted, to gather milk- weed for use in rubber experiments by the Nat- ional Research Council. Dried leaves are need- ed and farmers are being urged to strip plants by hand and dry the leaves by spreading them in the sun and then pack them in bags and ship to Ottawa or to cut them with binders about eight inches from the ground and dry in stooks. The department has sent out circular letters suggesting that school children should start collecting milkweed leaves now and dry them keeping their supply until the schools open in September. Shipments will be made in bags supplied to the schools. Payment for dried milkweed is being made by the Federal Agricul- ture Department at the rate of three cents s pound for hand-prepared leaves and $30 l. ton for binder cut leaves, with s small bonus for leaves particularly well dried and free of weeds. t t t a

A glimpse of the future revealing the pros- pective roie of the airplane in the life of the average man is reported by the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, with the Weight of Mr. William B. St0ut's name behind this latest projection of laboratory ideas into the promised reality of the past-war world. Mr. Stout, a pioneer in the design of airplanes and other types of transportation, has offered three airplanes for everyday use, all of which en- croach on the field today occupied by the auto- mobile. One is the "belicab," a streamlined heli- copter for family service. Another is the “aerocar", a better-like metal and plastic auto- mobile with detachable wings that is predicted to be capable of seventy miles an hour on the road and one hundred miles an hour in the air. The third is called a "readable airplane", a vehicle with four wheels and foidings wings that Mr. Stout offers to the business man who wants a light delivery truck that will do thirty-five

miles_an hottr on the road, 12o miles an hour in the air, and has a flying range of 400 miles.
