bership placed too heavy it burden on such voluntary part-time of- ficials as had the time, experience and standing to give the Institute the necessary direction.

In taking over ills new office. Professor Mclnnis said: ”I wei- come this opportunity to Lake I larger part in the work of the In- stitute and to make the closer acquaintance of members in all parts of the Dominion.

"It is significant that this new appointment is being made just as the Institute is entering its 26th year. It show; how its activities have grown during that time and how important it place it has come to occupy in our national life. It is now embarking on a new stage of growth and my hope is that I may help to make an ever- inereasing contribution to Canad- ian understandlng of world af- fairs."

The National Council paid spec- ial tribute to voluntary officers who in the past had given much of their time to detailed admin- istration of the Institute. Partie- ularly mentioned were the late Edgar J. Tarr of Winnipeg. presi- dent 1907-39, and R. G. Cavell of Toronto, chairman of the Na- tional Executive 19-13-51.

Professor McInnis' repute as an historian is based on studies pub- lished over the last 10 years but he is popularly known foi- ”'llhe Unguarded Frontier", a history of American-Canadian relations. and "The War". a six-volume running story of the Second World War. These won him the Governor Genera1'a award for academic non-fiction for 1942 and 1944.

Aciion Sdid Unprecedented In Canada

HALIFAX, Dec. 10 -tCP) -- In on action without precedent in provincial labor relations in Can- ada. the Nova Scotla Labor Relat- ions Board today refused certific- ation of a. shipyard union because it. said one of the leaders was a Communist. Unions representing 500 workers in six Dartmouth. Lunenburg. Pictou and Liverpool shipyards-some of them tender- ing on defence contracts-were af- fected.

J. K. Bell. IE3-year-old iialignn- ian. secretai-y-treasurer of the Maritime Marine Workers Feder- ation (C.C.L.) and named ll Com- munist issued a statement declar- ing: ”My viewpoints have been known to the trade union move- ment and to the government for a number of years and ii. strange indeed for the board in tdiscovcr” these views at I time when our organizational efforts are being directed to stabilize wages and conditions in a iium- ber of provincial centrr-s."

He announced that the union's executive was meeting immediate- ly to decide on Whether an appeal would be made to the Nova Seotizi Supreme Coiirt-tho next legal step open to it.

Little Word From Shops

Meanwhile there was little word from yards and marine machine shops in Saint John, N. B.. Syd- ney. Dartmouth and Halifax who

already have contracts with the union. On Saturday the Halifax Ship-

yards-witli the largest number of union employees-signed a new wage agreement with its 1,000 union members calling for a 12- cent increase bringing the basic wage up to S109 an hour. A ship- yards executive, hearing of todays ruling, said: "We have had a con- tract with this union for a num- ber of years. We are not prepared to comment at this time."

Fred A. Rhulantl, secretary- treasurcr of the big Smith and R-huland yard at Lunenburgh

which turns out many ships of the Marltimes fishing fleet. had asked for refusal for certification of the union as bargaining agent at his plant on the ground that Mr. Bell was a Communist and he didn't think at member of this party should be involved in I plant tctidering for defence contracts.

A reporter asked Mr. Bell nboui his politics. ”My political view- point is known in the union movement but it is not a factor in this case," he replied.

Mr. Nickle, 37-year-old oil jour- nalist, retained for his party the seat left vacant by lawyer A.L.-l Smith. who retired last summer, rfter representing the riding sineef 1945.

Just past the half-way mark in, the vote counting. the Progressive Conservative had almost equal the combined votes received by his Lih- l exit and Social Credit opponents.

At that time. with 112 of ii?!) polls reported. the count was 6,690 for Mr. Nickle. 3.896 for Liberal. Dr. Frank G, Buchanan and 3.163 for Arthur J. Dixon, Social Credit

Mr. Nit-klets superiority was demonstrated from the start. .

Dr. Buchanan took the only bigl rural vote. in Banlf. by a closet margin. But city returns swung: heavily in favor of Mr. Nickle.

The oil expert thus continued Calgary West's 26-ycar tradition

t

of voting Conservative or Pro- gressive Conservative that has. been broken only once. l

The by-election brings tbcp

party standings in the Commons to: Liberals 186: Progressive Con-

servative 46: C.C.F. 13; Social Credit 10; Independent Liberal two; Independent four; vacant one; total 262. i

In the last 26 years. Conserva- tive or Progressive Conservative members held the seat for all ex- cept a live-year period.

After one unsuccessful attempt. R. B. Bennett. former Conserva- tive prime minister. won the seat in 1925. He held it for 14 years through four general elec- tions and one by-election.

The Liberals took the seat in the 1940 general election by (03 votes.

Mr. Smith was first elected in 1945. In the 1949 general election. he polled 11,467 votes to 8,619 for Liberal C. C. Matthews and 6.- 785 for Mr. Dixon. Mr. Smith re- tired last summer due to ill health.
