Mr. Gordon Graydon is surprising political friends as well as opponents by his ability as Opposition leader in the House of Commons. Here, from Hansard of recent date, is an ex- ample of his debating style, at once urbane and effective.

“is it not, Mn Speaker, a shocking thing to contemplate that in one of the world's greatest agricultural producing areas, ration cards should be used for butter, with some hint that ration- ing of beef is to follow? i think I need do no more than simply point out the fact. Is it not a shocking condition of affairs? Every butter ration coupon that is handed to a grocer today is mute but irrefutable‘ evidence of faulty plan- ing by our agricultural and our wartime prices boards. I suggest to the Prime Minister —— I hope I am not making too many suggestions t0 him — that he drop into a fe\v rural homes in Canada, talk to some of the farmers’ wives arid see what they say of a plan which requires not only consumers to have ration coupons before they can get their butter, but the. farmers’ wives as well. I ask the Prime Minister to get the

Dr. Cyrus hizichliliuu, .\l.l’., as a commission executive i5 lit-iii" ix-rwiguizctl by his Party Chiefs in iiaiii- ilig mu ll uicullici‘ of various committees, chief of which is that "to examine and report on a national plan of social insurance which will cou-iiuuc a cliapicr of social security for the uii. Ir nf Cziuzirlzi". of which he has been ‘ iuliili- Cibillllill. This. is a lOund-about-way of describing the licveridge Report. Dr. Cyrus has a long rcccird of successful experience in such \\'ll!'i\' including membership of the Royal (Riuiuiis-"itill ou llziritiule Claims in i926, the l\'o_v:il Commission ou Education in Prince Ed- ward Island iu i929, and the Royal Commission on Atlantic Fisheries in the previous year. Since entering the House he has been on several all- iuiportzint committees, and was specially coin- illCIHiWI for ibe report he submitted as chair- man of lhc Committee on the Pensions Act and the: \\'ar Veteran's Allowance Act.

The member for Queen's is also mentioned as a proSpCClIve assistant Minister for Defence, Department of Air, of which the Hon, Mr. Power is the portfolio holder. We could have wished that Dr. Cyrus had been appointed to a portfolio outright. He has already been biinister of Fisheries, and it was a disappoint- ment to us, and we are sure to himself, that his services in that capacity failed to receive re- cognition from the Prime Minister when he con- structed his present government. To belatedly give him an assistantship now is equivalent to a fiddlefs invitation to a wedding, neither honour- able nor adequately remuncrativc. .

\Vhilc we recognize in all this that the Prime Minister realizes the value of Dr. Cyrus as a poli- tical hewer of wood and carrier of water for the government, we feel sure hisconstituents would appreciate their member retaining his inde- pendence and urging their particular interests

Mr. Howe has said frequently that more than two-thirds of our war production is for export. From the outset we have accepted con- tracts from Allied nations-chiefly Great Britain and the United States. It. is understood that most oi the unrenewed contracts are on ‘ ‘tish account and this tendency aknost certninyi indicates that the British government will favor home industry as the war enters the final phase. Will the United States do likewise?

In this regard the pattern of our war indusfry in this war bears s remarkable resemblance to that of 1914-18. In the last war, 1917 was the big production year. Orders

on the floor of the House. The f'rst duty of s member of parliament is to look fter his con- stituency and see- that its rights, privileges, and requirements are respected, adhered to, and faithfully and specifically attended to. This, we know, is apt to lead to differences between him and the powers-that-be, nevertheless it is the price lie must be prepared to pay if he is to do his dulv lionourzibly and effectively. If it be mere- l_\~ his oii-n or Party interests the member is con- cerned about, then nf course, the easy way is to become subservient, cause his chiefs as little trouble as possible, and in time he will obtain, perhaps, his personal political reward, but, alas. at the expense of a sacred political trust.

His bent being what it was, it was fortunate that much of his service in the Army as a cavalry officer was spent in India, Matabele- land, and South Africa where there were op- portunities for learning and practising bush- craft-- which may be rendered keeping eyes open sncl ‘profiting by the implications in svhat they recor .

Should the Federal Government call an elec- tion after redistribution in the Fall, or should the Provincial Government go to the country in May or June after the coming session of the Legislature, it would fiud the opposition colu- paratively unprepared, unorganized, indeed list- less. There must be an immediate awakening if it is going to capitalize on the Heaven-sent opportunity to provide a change of government.

Bclligercncy is raising its bead out ivcst, aud the Federal Government had better “mind its step” if it wants to avoid trouble in the Prairies as wcll as Quebec. Tlie Alberta Farmers’ Un- ion, claiming a membership of l6,o00 Alberta farmers, in annual couvculiou endorsed a resolu- tion demanding immediate action by the Fcd-

eral Government to introduce parity priees~for~

farm products, and warned that if the demands are not met "we will take action." The word strike did not appear in the resolution as pass- ed, but it was mentioned by (lelcgalcs during discussion. Newly electcd President James Jackson of Irma, Alta, said: "We organized to get parity prices, and if there is no other way of getting them I am in favor of a strike. I am not afraid of going to jail, and I wouldn't be the first Irishman to go there." s a s a

Prime Minister Churchill has lcft no doubt that Britain and the United States were fully determined to take as much of the burden off Russia as was physically possible, and do it as soon as circumstances would permit. One of the most striking statements in the whole of Mr. Churchill's recent review was this: “When I look at all Russia is doing and the vast achieve- ments of tlic Soviet armies, I should feel lily- self helow the level of events were I not sure in my heart and conscience that everything in hu- man power is being done and will be done to bring British and American forces into action against the enemy with the utmost speed and energy and on the largest scale. This the Pre- sident and I urgently and specifically enjoined upon our military advisers and experts. Iii approving their schemes and allocation of forces, we asked formally for more ivciglit to be put- iiito their attacks and more speed into their dates. Intense efforts are now being made oii both sides of the Atlantic for this purpose."
