Conservative Victory

Ye.-'ter'day's voting in the prov- incial byelection in the First Dis- trict of Queens resulted in I decis- ive victory for the Conservative candidate. Mr. Frank Myers, over his Liberal opponent, Mr. Wood. lilr. Myers is to be congratulated on his achievement in converting a HR majority polled against him in 19.33 into a favorable niajority of 293 on this occasion. This is a personal triumph. but the (lovem- ment would be unwise to regard it merely as such. Following so close- ly upon the sweeping Conservative gains in the federal field. it marks I trend which may or may not he on the increase. but which is un- doubtedly strong at the present time. The concrete result will be an increase" to four of the Opposition members in the Legislature, leaving the Liberal administration still with I very large majority.

There is talk now that the Con- servatives are planning I thorough reorganization of their party prov- lncially, with I leadership conven- tion to be held in the Fall. in pre- paration for the next provincial election which is not expected be- fore 1959. Mr. Bell. it is under- stood, has already placed his resig- nation as leader in the hands of the party executive, and several names have been suggested as likely successors. Reports to this effect were rifc even before the federal election on June 10, and. of course, they have been accentuated since that date. With yesterday's byelec- tion won, party stalwarts now see their prospects as brighter than they have been for some years. This is all to the good so far as the Prov- ince generally is concerned, for it is essential to the maintenance of sound government that we have a strong alternative party bidding for

power.

A New Idea

We have been told time and time again that atomic and hydrogen weapons are absolutely necessary for the security of the West, to keep war fmm breaking out or avoid total destruction if it should be forced upon us. This is known as the principle of the "nuclear deterrent". How valid is it? Since the experts are unable to aizrce On the answer. the rest of us must per- force remain in the dark. But at I conference at Oxford University on "Changes In Soviet Society", as re- ported by (1 L. Sulzberger in the New York Times. the theory was seriously questioned.

Ii i st 0 r i a n Geoffrey Hudson stated that, far from being a deter- rent to war, the concentration on nuclear weapons is nothing more nor less than "a bit of humhug de- signed to cover up the fact that the Western nations are unwilling to make the effort needed to provide themselves with adequate military defense", He went on to say that ”thcre is no reason. as regards totzil r---npower and resources, wh.V "19 NATO nations should not be able to maintain military forces sufficient to engage the Russians on the Elbe on equal terms: but being unwilling to make the sacrifices required to meet the Soviet challenge they take refuge in the nuclear deterrent and deceive themselves with the idea that it will be anouzh to avert the

Hllty of war".

It scans to be generally agreed that in manpower. planes. Hub- marines and conventional weapons. the Soviet Union It the prment time has I grant superiority W"

chance d victory.

To sum up. Professor Hudson believes that in the event of war, victory will come, as in the past. "to the army in the field". He does not believe that either side will use hydrogen bombs. His view seem! to be that, unless the West ceases its preoccupation with the "nuclear deterrent" and strengthens its con- ventional forces far beyond their present standings, the Soviet Union will be in I position eventually to achieve most of its desires at little or no risk of war.

it is not a pleasant thought. it may be a realistic one. nevertheless.

To Honour The Worthy

President Eisenhower wants the Congress to pass legislation for a ”Piesidt-ntial medal for civilian achievement" to be awarded for especially outstanding contributions to the public welfare. The lack of any such machinery came into pub- lic awareness when Dr. Jonas Salk developed his anti-polio vaccine. There was a public demand that he be honoured in some special way: but before this was possible special legislation had to be enacted. Under the new proposal recipients of the medal would be recommended to the President by a non-partisan board of nine members appointed for nine-year terms.

The United States and (lanatla are probably the only two countries in the world which do not have I regularly established system for honouring those citizens who con- tribute in some extraordinary way to the national well-being. Some years ago the Canadian Govern- ment conceived the idea of creating a "Canada Medal" for the purpose. But for some reason or other only one medal was struck; and that one was hidden away so carefully that no one seems to know its where- abouts.

The proper wa.V' Pellllafls In OI" case would be to allow the Queen to honour her subiects, as is-the practice in the other Domimons. Experience has shown. l10W9V91'- that it would be better to withhold power of recommendation from Government officials and place It In the hands of a representative board

such as President Eisenhower has suggested with respect to his l"'0' posed plan.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Federal Fisheries Depart- ment has announced that the Gov- ernment will continue to pay I 5073 rebate on the cost of salt to fisher- men in the Atlantic Provinces and Quebec. The salt rebate scheme, established two years ago, applies to all salt purchased by fishermen and processors. except that used to process fish going to the United States.

A United States' Senator is quot- ed as saying that the Congressional hearings on improper practices in the labour-management field may result in "persecutions" of labour unions. lie need not lose any sleep over that. Labour unions are much too strong nowadays to have to en. (lure "persecution" from any source. The best thing about the hearings is that responsible labour leaders

that they will strengthen the labour movement rather than weaken it. I I O

Bookbinding by hand is not as common a practice as it used to be. Ilimcvcr. there is one place where it is still carried on. The Rev. Jos- eph Ruther, I Franciscian iriar and head of the Mathematics Depart- mcnt at the University of St. Bon- aventure in St. Bonaventure, N. Y., aided by I couple of students. re- binrls an average of 1200 books and magazines a year. He started the hobby when it was found that the university was losing the use of books for long periods when they were sent out for repairs.

Said Secretary Dulles.ln com- menting on the visit to Washington of the Premier of Japan: "I think that the visit of Mr. Kishi has served I very useful purpose. I feel that it opened up I new era for our relations with Japan". That's I pretty safe formula. But, although Mr. Dulles did not mention it, ru- moun persist that Mr. Klshl told President Hsenhower, very politely

are supporting them in the belief.

Latest Soviet Purge

By William L. Ryan Associated Press, New York

I l t I

Molotov and others from the rul- '

mg party Praesidium. and the makeup of the new membership. indicate I might Khrushchev vic- lory. They suggest the party itself has hadits bellyful of Slalinismn.

Those formerly humiliated by the Sialinisls now will run the show. Those Ffsptlflnlble fnr such dIrk deeds as assisting Stalin in his latter - day oriental plotting have been pushed out. The shake- iip has these overtones:

First. it appears to be I show-

down heiwecn the Slalinists and '

the anti-Sialinlsts in the Kremlin. Second, it suggests there has

been I hiiler quarrel over Khrush- I

ch:-v's program to reorganize the Soviet e c o n o m y. Khrushchev seems to have won.

Third. the elevation of Marshal Georgi Zhukov to full membership In the Praesidium suggests con- firmation of the steadily increas- ing-and sieadying - influence of the Soviet Army in Kremlin poll- ticn. Along with him, now. there will be others in the Praesidium representing I more modern Sov-

iet Union and I more moderate ,

outlook. All this is I conservative influence which turns Iway from rash risks.

NOT BLOODY

Thus far this purge ls nnt I bloody one, like Stalin or those of the post-Stalin era in which po- lice boss Lavrenty Berta Ind his alleged accomplices were dis- patched. The violence of PrIvdI's language in donouncing thI oppo- siiionlsts, however. hints the vic- tors in this struggle have In omi- nous threat to hold over the heads of any dissenters.

Malenkov. Molotov. Kaganovtch and the others who are humiliated may be roughly handled from the I point of view of their humiliation, but it seems doubtful this shakeup will go so far as to spill the blood of men who have held high posts in the Io-called "collective leader- ship."

However. the Indications in the Soviet press Ire that this purge is likely to go deep. Having rooted out the Stalinist: It the top, Khruschev and his followers must. also root them out in the party ranks.

Then Khrushchev will be in In entrenched position to go ahead with his vast plan for reorganis- tng the Soviet economy. decentrIl- Izing industry and doing I number of rational things could not be done under Stalin nor with tho ro- sislance of Stallnlsta.

COULD MEAN PEACE

This can mean peace for some time to come, because in such In enormous program the Soviet Un- ion must have pesca.

By that time the face of Soviet society will have changed tremen- dously. The U.S.S.R. will be mov- lng toward I moro stable social structure in which there will be I large stake in long-term peace.

The accusation against Molotov, of having hindered the policy of "peace Imong peoples” carries I simng hint of things to come in Soviet foreign policy-perhaps al- ready developlng la the apparent willingness of the Soviet Union to make some concessions in interna- tional conferences.
