_ ill this cllsc would be, lll the parlance of the

prize ring, u llvul-tille bout, his championship “not on the line." Heads or tails, he woifld be secure—in office. If the House, in a. free-for- all. voted ziglinst sending the draftees, Mr. King could ' "This is precisely what l wanted; I have been upheld." If the House voted to selid the draftees, he could say: “This is the sovereignty of Parliament." Ur. King, in days past, has often ivzixed eloquent on Par- liament's sovereignty. Also, Mr. King, with this frcc-for-all, with this abdication of his re- spollsibility to govern, to collie to Parliament aiid stand or fzlll there with Government policy, would avoid dailgcr of more Cabinet deflections.

"We can, unfortunately, but wait and see," says the Journal,” “wait, while reinforcement need is desperate, llpOll party luanoeuvrings and party lzlctics:——upou a playing of politics as un- scrupulous as this country has seen. The one best hope lies in Parliament voting to send the draficcs, this regardless of whether it meails the Gmcrilllleilfs fall or not. For if reinforce- ments are ‘vital, and all of us know they are vital, it uialtters not a curse whether Mr. King is made to send them or they are sent by some- body else.

"In the lucailtiliic we can but trust that the House, whatever its decision, acts promptly. There is no time to be lost; and any prolonged debate, useless and dangerous, would be little short of criminal. If the worst is to be the de- cision, with .\lr. King upheld, then let us know it quickly. The further recourse of this coun- try's will could then go into action."

Future Trade Policies

4 is anticipated in some quarters that President Roosevelt's re-election will be help- ful to Prime Minister King in bolstering his domestic tariff and external trade policies. Mr. King has for luzlny years past leaned strong- ly to the expansion of trade with the United States, and, through the Pan-American Union, with the South and Central American mem- bers of that union. At the same time he has been decidedly cool in his attitude towards the expansion of inter-imperial trade through the nleditinl of the British limpire preferential tar- iff regulations. ills plan is to advance Can- ada to the position of second place to the United States in llle Pan-American Union, and de- vclop trade within this sphere. It was, there- fore, of suprclllc importance to him that Mr. Roosevelt be rc-elcctetl before a general elec- tiou was precipitated in Canada, or this new li'li(l(' policy submitted to Parliament and the public.

'l'licre is an inherent weakness ill this new policy of .\Ir. King's, however, which Hon. H. H. Stevens discusses in an interesting article in the VGIYCUIITFY Province. World trade moves cllst and wcsi, in the main, and ally attelupt to found Canada's policy on tlic expansion of trade to South America \\'0lil(l be faced with all al- most impossible transportation problem.

On the nthcr Iland, Canada has in Great Britain 1i. wonderfully fine customer and our

‘hold on that market rests vcry largely on the

continuance of the British preferential tariff provisions of nur customs lzlws.

A statement was made on 6th November by General Dempsey's spokesman on the achieve- nlents of the British aild Canadian drive to Maas. This statement emphasizes the extent of the German disintegration resulting from the Allied operation in the West. The spokesman said that since 22nd October Models’ 15th German Army has been cut to less than half strength; prisoners being estimated at 25.000 and the killed and wounded unofficially at 40.- 000. The Dutch territory which has been liber- ated covers 1,200 square miles with a. popula- tion of 570,000. From Allied operations in the West since 6th June the latest reported prisoner total was 637,544 (on 3lst October). The lat- est figure for Germans killed and wounded was Mr. Churchill's 400,000 on 29th September. It is estimated that the Germans lire losing 4,000 men daily in the West (the “'1‘iliic.r", 7th No- vember). It may therefore be reckoned that the total losses to date are some 1,100,000, this is the equivalent of 85 full divisions hilt, as German divisions are mostly half strength, this may be described as equalling 17o present Ger- man divisions.

clit time is being given to study of the actual system of vote registration. Success in this dir- ection would still leave the problem of electoral lists to be dealt with, but it would mean a de- cided step forward if the system of actual vot- ing at the polls could be improved. In this latter connection study is being given to the system in vogue in parts of the United States, notably in New York State. This is installation of voting machines, which came into being in the United States 40 years ago, and which has a record of success behind it, it is claimed there, and check- ing by local experts support this claim of suc- cess. Installation of the machines would do away altogether with paper ballots, and by that token with the possibilities of using counterfeit ballot papers, which it is charged has happened at limes, and-this is specially importtint-iviili the hazards ivhich accompany illc usc of {taper ballots, and which lla ards do not show signs
