It would mean heavier payments on Canada's en- ormous financial commitments in the United States-payments which would have to be raised by addi- tional taxation. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the pound will remain at its present valu- ation, or that the dollar could be fixed permanently to the pound.

Liberals In s Conference

(Sydney Post)

Representative leaders of Liberal- ism from all over Canadajlave been in convention at Ottawa. It is said that they plan to draft a new Mag- nu Charts. for the party, although from whom they are going to wrest somewhat mythical "rights," is not made clear. Mr. Vincent Massey is going to be the godfather of re- juvenated Liberalism, the Moses to lead the party out of the wilderness. Doubtlcss, if they could find some person sufficiently publicized the party might even go so far as to at- tempt to replace Mr. Mackenzie King. There have been rumors of dlssensions for some time past, and his record at the present session of Parliament has revived them.

The Ottawa conclave leads one to ponder on just what is a Liberal. The Oxford Dictionary describes a Liberal as one "favorable to demo- cratic reforms and the abolition of privilege." which causes the Ot- tawa Journal to remark: .

“Here, unquestionably, is the guiding principle of the Liberal party in Canada, because any label les ample and generous than this one in its coverage could not con- tain at the same time Mr. Mac- kenzie King, M. L. A. Taschereau, Mr. Vincent Massey, and other dia- tingulshed politicians of equally various viewpoints.

"Furthermore, Liberalism is so broad in its application that it per- mits a. Liberal to be stoutly conser- vative in office and gaily progres- sive in opposition. In fact, nobody

aren't we all reasonable men and practical?

"So it is that nobody is surprised to see Mr. King-in Opposition- coming out firmly for unemploy- ment insurance, which he did noth- ing whatever to bring about in his prosperous years of power. So no- body is surprised to see Mr. King supporting this further extension of paternalism, while Mr. Taschereau in Quebec denounces soundly ‘the Socialism which says that the state practically shall provide for every- one.’ It is taken as a matter of course that Mr. Hepburn, party leader in Ontario, should describe Liberals as ‘indivldualists; while Mr. Massey, chairman of the Na- tlonal Association, comes out for a bigger and better program of social legislation. inciud' state medicine, compulsory voting, and all the oth- er fads and fancies of the modern theorists.

"It is a delightful system, but there are some awkward turns in the road. Thus a. Quebec Liberal is against unemployment insur- ance and old age pensions as he follows Mr. Taschereau but for them and a host of other social remedies as he follows Mr. King. An Ontario Liberal is an individ-
