runny, uovnunu 1s. ms. The British Elections

The returns from yesterday's British gen- eral elections, though by no means complete at the time of writing, indicate that the National Government, led by the RT. HON. STANLEY BaLpwnn-held its ground though with reduced majorities, and will be substantially stronger than thecombined opposition parties in the next Parliament.

This, in view of the reaction which the world depression has had against all govern- ments in power during the past four or five years, may be regarded as a signal victory, and one which cannot fail to strengthen sentiment in favour of the League of Nations, for whose support during the present crisis caused by the Italo-lithiopian conflict the British National Government made its strongest electoral appeal.

in the late Parliament, the National (lov- ermnent, consisting chiefly of Conservatives, with National Liberals and National Labor members, held 516 seats to the Opposition's rep- rescntation of 96, comprising Socialists, Liber- sls and Independent Liberals (LLOYD (Spouse's group.) In yesterday's election, the chief gains from the Government seem to have been made by the Labour party, with Liberals trailing far in the rear.

Highly significant was the defeat of SIR HIRliERl‘ SAMUEL, the Opposition Liberal Lead- er, and former Home Secretary in the National Government who crossed the floor of the House in protest against the Empire agreements of 1932. The British electors, like the great major- ity of the people of Canada, are evidently strongly behind the Ottawa pacts, Liberal propaganda in both countries to the contrary notwithstanding, i

While asserting the need for a general lim- itation of armaments, the National Government has asked for a mandate “to do what is neces- sary to repair the gaps in our defense which have accumulated over the past decade." This means maintenance of the British Navy up to a point sufficient to cope with present and future emergencies in the cause of world peace and stability. Recognition of this need by the British electors is of enormous significance at the pres- ant time, especially to other members of the League of Nations who have agreed on the ap- plication, on November 18, of economic sanc- tions against Italy.

Rioting At Cairo

The mill-British rioting at Cairo, Egypt, re- ported h yesterday's despatches, recalls the more serious outbreak in 1924 which culminated in the murder of Sm Lee STACK, British Sirdar and Governor General of the Soudan, who was shot in broad daylight while driving through the streets of Cairo and his aide-de-camp wounded. The assassination roused a storm of indignation in Great Britain, and rigorous meas- nres were called for, including thb prohibition and vigorous suppression of all popular political demonstrations It is significant that the Wafdi, the revolutionary organization responsible for Wednesday's disturbance, also" figured in the 1924 crisis and was powerful enough to obtain the acquittal, two Years later, of the ringleaders in the STACK assassination. Consistently Britain has recognized the principle of Egyptian inde- pendence but her interests both in the Soudan and Suez Canal have made necessary a measure of supervision in affairs, which is resented by extreme nationalists.

U. S. Homicide Rate

According to the Nletropolitan Life Insur- ance Company; death rates from both accidents and homicides in the United States continue to be the highest in any civilized country. The accident mortality rate is almost twice that for England and Wales, Germany, Italy, Sweden or Belgium. The homicide rate in the iteighbor- ing republic is eighteen times that. of England and \Valcs_ Fatal accidents in the States take about 100,000 lives per annum; suicides 20,000 lives and homicides 12,000. The Metropolitan Life feels that this record reflects a rather gen- eral indifference to human values throughout the southern half of this continent.

According to some American historians this state of affairs had its origin in the American Revolutionary War when Loyalists by tens of thousands were subjected to brutal treatment by their rebellions fellow citizens. Another factor

i is the existence of very extensive groups of un- digested foreigners throughout the republic though these foreigners before they left their homes in Europe were less careless of human life and more particular in the observance of existing laws than the aggregate American population ap-

t pears to be. A writer in a leading New York

newspaper has attributed the great number of violent deaths to the egotism of the average adult citizen, whether he or she is driving a motor car or engaged in other activities.

- Still another cause of the large number of violent deaths in the United States is to be found in a lax administration of the criminal laws. This in turn is traced to the fact that most judges and magistrate! and police officers dCPWQ "P0" political votes for their apppmtments, This i! a \ rakness to which successive American Presi- dmis have called attention and to which the ‘-r--:~i»:nn Ilar Association has been devoting a

“If all men were virtuous I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an arrny sailing through the clouds, neither walls, nor mountains, nor seas, could afford any security. A flight of nor- thern savages might hover in the wind, and light at once, with irresistible violence, upon the capital of a fruitful region, that was rolling under them. Even this valley, the retreat of princes, the abode of happiness, might be vio- lated."

The unreliability and exaggeration of elec- tion propaganda was effectively punctured by Senator MEIGHEN in his recent address. It had been alleged and repeated ad nauseam that one per cent. of the population owned 85 per cent. of the nation's wealth and that while wages" had decreased, dividends had increased. From the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, he presented figures t show that 21 per cent. of the total national wealth was invested in farms, exclusive of farm indebtedness; 34 per cent. in urban homes, and 21 per cent. was held by British and other foreign investments. “There is s total of 75 per cent. of the wealth of Canada in which the one per centpor the very wealthy have little or no part at all," he said. "Even if the word con- trol, meaning management, were intended the figures (one per cent. own 85 per cent.) are grossly and preposterously wrong." He said he doubted also if it were any more deluocratic for

a company to be. managed by s board of 500 directors or five directors. He also presented figures to show that, taking 1917 as an index of 10o, wages as related to the cost of living were 113.6 in ‘r930 and 113.8 in 1933, He also showed figures to reveal that dividends actually paid» in
