THURSDAY, The Quebec Elections

- ' Anticipating the defeat of the Duplcssis Gov- ermncnt in yesterdays Quebec elections, the Olluzua Journal (Conservative) predicted that while the Liberals would have at least 40 scats, the victory would not be a triumph for any single party but “for Quebec's sound sense and loyalty to Canadian unity." 'l‘ltc Jllonrtoit Trans- cript, (Liberal) expressed the same thought when it said the election “transcends politics be- Oause of the action taken by Premier _Duplcssis regarding Canada's active participation in the war in Europe,” and that "a votefor Duplcssis became a vote against Canada's participation in the war."

Similarly our local contemparory declared that the calling of the election by Duplessis “met with strong protest throughout Canada, especial- ly by such leading Conservative organs as the Montreal Star," and that the attack “was chiefly directed against Duplessis on the ground that his policy with respect to the war would tend to the disintegration of Canada.” Ilon- 1\Ir. La- pointe, Federal Minister of justice, was quoted by our contemporary as stating “that 1\[r. Du- plessis is hailed in Nazi Germany as a friend and that a vote for him would be the greatest blow that could befall the national unity of Can- ada."

Many statements of similar import could be quoted, from both Liberal and Conservative sources.

As the two main parties in Quebec are the Union Nationalcs (Duplcssis Government party’) and Liberals, it was inevitable that (lcfcat of the former by those supporting national unity in Canada's war efforts should take the form of a Liberal victory. though in effect it was a vic- tory for the combined anti-Duplessis forces. This was how the campaign was represented by

( Liberal candidates and their spokesmen, and it ille laxity in the enforcement of l

is to be hoped, now that the contest is over, that they will not prove unmindful of the factors in- volved in their success. Any attempt to ntake partisan capital out of yesterday's results would be as detrimental to the cause of tiational uuitv s: wore the issues rnisz-rl by Tluploggls l_\_§p_._5glf_

lihose issues, says the Zlfonfreal Star in a statement quoted with approval in yesterdays local Liberal organ, "are the most vital that could be imagined. Is Quebec behind the Do- minion in the killer's determination to do every- thing in her power to aid in bringing the war to a successful conclusion for the Allies, or, is Que- bec against the Dominion in this matter and does Quebec want the rest of the British Empire and the civilized world t0 think that it is for Hitler in the war?"

Quebec has given its answer! It has risen nobly to the occasion, regardless of party poli- tics, and thercbv followed the example set in the Dominion Parliamcitt by the Conservative leader, llou, I71‘, llanion, whose loyal support of the Government's war measures has so fur been the greatest single factor in promoting na- tional unity at this critical time.

SEED POTATO PRICE

Sin-The letter in The Guardi- an of the 16th instant signed "Vic- tlm" should receive the attention of and get action from the farmers of this Province. To understand well the deal made with some farmers by the Potato Growers As- soelatlon last spring, one has to go back a few years ln history. Some four or flve years ago the Associa- tion suddenly announced that it was ln financial difficulties, and had a deficit of one hundred thous- and dollars. Thz-uglh bow a. co- operative society which pald to its members only what; ll. received for their products, less ordinary busi- nes expenses, could have a deflctt. was hard to understand; yet the deficit was there. notwithstanding the moflts made on the sale of fer- tilizers. Insecticides, bags, etc.

At. the earnest solicitation of the Association and the Bank, Premier Lea decided that the Government would guarantee the Bank of Nova Scotia. against. any loss, so far as the deficit. was concerned, and, ln addition, would guarantee the fu- ture trading account of the Asso- ciation. This was an extraordin- ary thing for any Government to do. nevertheles ll: was done. If; was a singling out; of one business 0011126111 for Government favors from all the other trading concerns on the Island. When the Gov- ernment". dld this unusual thing 1t aonolntled one of its members. Mr. LePage. to an official posltlon 1n the Association. Plosumably to sec that for the future the inter- ests of tihe Government, and the Interests of the farmers and tax- payers were duiv protected. In addition to this. two members of the legislature, were directors of the Association. Thus the Gov ernmemt. ff not; going tnw partner- ship with the Association, became allied with If. In business, and fl- nanclally responsible for its ae- tlons. Therefore the Government was aware last spring of the con- tracts which tine Association was making with farmers. to sell their potatoes at a low fixed price this fall. no matter what. the market; prloe might be. If the Govern- merit was not aware of this. its of- flelal representative I11 l-he Assoc- tatlon was terribly negleetful of his duty. Under these circum- stances, ls the Government respon- slble for the difference between the low price at which some foolish farmers agreed to sell their pota- toes, and the fair market. price? I Lhbllnk the Government; ls respon-

e.

When the Government guaran- teed the Association's trading ac- count with the Bank of Nova Scotla 1t bound itself to protectthe Bank against, losses which It muziht incur und that. account. and surely the Government ls equally respon- slble to poor "ullible farmers who are not as well nble lo protect themselves as the Bank officials are. ‘This thlmt should not. ‘oe al- lowed to stop where ll: ls nowmot- \ lthstanuiirg the letters which the Assorie" n and lts speclnl friends may write to the press.

The letter ln The Guardian of the 19th. Instant signed "One Who Beneflted" admits everything that has ever been charged against. the btslness manasement of the Assoc- lntlon. It says the Association gambles with the business Interests of its members. and that gambllnz ls honest. leizltlmatv business. It further states ln effect. that the Assoclat-lon Is wllllni! to engage ln any 111ml of bustness. good or . that lt thinks wlll promote If! ﬂ- nanelal Interests.

or by forcing them, tn sell- defence. as we have been forced tn recent years, not Indeed to

abandon democracy, but to divert ll‘. to evll purposes of organizing for strength instead or for wealth. Many people have asked in t-hese past years of strain what good a war would do. The answer ls. of course, that a war does no good: but 1t has become the only way of preventing lnflnlte greater harm And why has it. ome the only way? ‘Phat. Ls n. uestlon that; only

history can flna 1y answer. But. one moral can be drawn now which history wlll not upset. , We

have had many chances of strang- ling ln their Infancy the forces of axiresulon and brutality which have now engulfed the world in war. As each Issue has arisen, we have refused to meet f-hr. rl=ks mbtached tn the suppression nf brute force. And, as issue has followed issue. we have seen the prloe of security rise, ln a steady Sfbylllne P7081103. until now lt has reached the most awful height that: a nation ever had to face. Before we plunge Into war, thls lesson must be drawn from twent -one years of uneasy peace: securt cannot be attained by avoiding risks; a llcy of llmlted commitments 1e s inevitably to the unlimited commitment. of war; safety cannot be found without courage. Let us never again make the mistake of being involved ln the maintenance of peace without bel committed to its enforce- men .

These oonslderatlons provide tawo of the pillars of the eventual peace settlement; 1t must bring the end of armed dictator- ship; and lt must provide for a world-wide system of enforcing peace. A rhlrd pillar must, of course. be the restore/lion of their independence to those people who have lost it, prlmarlly the Czechs, But these three aims achlevetLthe fourth must be an avoidance of any merely vengeful or repressive pro Ions against Germany, which would provide genuine grievances for a. new Hlt-ler. If she ls democratic, lf she eo- opernter. ln the new international order, if she restores her 111111151, conquest, lt. will be tn our tn- terests at. the end of this war (as we can now see that l0 was to our interest. ln 191B) to help her to muty, equality, wealth and self- respect. The only nltematlve policy would be one of permanent partition and garrlsonmg of a de- featzed Germany, for which uhe democracies have neither the strength nor tho moral mandate.

These. then. m0 the four prin- ciples of peace: Democracy, an International Order, Restitution and Generosity. ‘Fhnlr transla- tlon ln to precise details ls a mat- ter which eannot now be tinder- taken.
