Parliament Dissolved

With Parliament dissolved and the geiieral election less than two months away, the political campaign may he expected to get into full swing almost iminediately. The June ltl datc. although not officially con- firincd until Saturday. came as no surprise and the party oigaiiizations should all be well prepared for the contest. Enumeration of voters will begin on April 22. and last for six days. It is expected that a record number of 9,200,000 Canadians will be eligible to cast their votes. Both the Liberal and Conservative parties are to field candidates for all the 263 seats in the Commons on May 27, the official nomination day. The CCF is aiming at having Qtitl candl- dates and the Social Credit party leader says he expects to have 130 or more in the running. Prime Min- ister St. Laurent will travel to Que- bec City on Wednesday to spend Easter and on his return to Ottawa afterwards will announce his plans. The Conservative leader, Mr. Diefen- baker. starts his campaign speeches on April 25 at Toronto and April 27 at Quebec City.

Meanwhile. Canada will be with- out members of Parliament, at least technically, until August 8. This is the date set for the return of election writs for the winning candidates in

the House of Commons. The Senate, I

of course. has not dissolved. as the members are appointed for life ten- ures: but the Upper Chamber cannot meet again until the new Parliament gathers for its first session.

The last session has been a com- paratively quiet one. but there are many controversial issues stemming from the previous sittings which will likely be revived in the coming cam- paign. This is what campaigns are for. The candidate who c a n n o t handle himself in the rough and tumble of the hustings is not likely to prove of much value as a repre- sentative of any constituency. There is. however. no excuse for vitupera- tion. and less for efforts of any kind at bribery and corruption. The elec- tors have I! right to be treated as intelligent. responsible citizens. The oldtime appeal to "our party. right or wrong" has lost much of its ef- feetiveness in recent years. Candi- dates would do well to remember this fact. They will be' judged by their conscientiousness and ability rather than by their party labels; if they fail in their appeal on this score they will at least have the satisfaction of having fought a good fight. In the end. we believe, it is this type of men who ultimately suc- ceed. Canada is facing big problems in the immediate future, and we cannot afford to function politically with any but the best representatives available. Our whole democratic sys- tem is on trial in every election cam- paign. just as surely as is the govern- ment of the day, and the record and -platforms of the contending parties.

Nild. Vs. Canada

A favorite debate in the current session of the Newfoundland Legis- lature has been the matter of the Brwlnce's status under Confedera- tion. Premier Smsllwood and most of his Liberal followers maintain Itoutly that "things were never so good." They are fond of referring to the "best eight years-yet," meaning 1949-57.

lvq when the country's political fut- ure was being shaped. there is ll marked tendency to disparage union with Canada. This is brought out by the following news item which ap- pear; in at recent issue of the St. John's Daily News:

During the last night of the Re- gional Drama Festival. Adjudicator Cecil Bellamy received prolonged ap- plause when he said "I have found in Newfoundland, as in Canada, the sets have been well done." For a minute there was a pause, then the audience broke into loud applause. After the applause Mr. Bellamy said, "I am learning." and when he next referred to his travels across ("aiiada carefully differentiated Newfoiiiitl- land from the.,rest of the Dl'(lYillt'0S. This seemed to meet with the great approval of the audience as tlicy once more started to aplaud.

The same story, in somcwliin tiff- fcrciit form. comes frequciitly from otlicr sources. The inference scents

Some idea of the. power possibil- ities of the future may be gathered from the latest news about the atomic submarine 'Nautiius'. The Nautilus started cruising on Janu- ary I5, 1955 and travelled 60,000 miles on her first charge of nuclear fuel. She put in for refuelllng two months ago at Groton, Conn., and left this week with her new charge. According to a US. Navy report, the charge, capable of carrying her an- other 60,000 miles, is "about the size of a softball."

Secretary of State Dulles says ,the United States "will continue to use its influence" in pursuit of Mid- dle East. peace. So far, United SlHlt"S' influence hasn't had much control over Middle East problems. The statement is hardly likely to calm Israeli fears. It was precisely on the strength of promised American "influence" that the Israelis with- drew from the Gziza Strip only to find that the Egyptians were going back with at least the tacit approval of the State Department. From now on. it is safe to say, the Israelis will want something stronger than the promise of "influence".

Important industrial uses for ra- dioactive "ash" from nuclear power stations have been forecast by spec- ialists in the United Kingdom as the result of research carried out by the Atomic Energy Authority. Research has shown that the strongly radio- active casesfum Ind strontium--the ash components with the longest radioactive lives-are likely to have t important and varied industrial uses. For example, potatoes and onions could be prevented from sprouting, while the mutation rate in plants could be incmasedmnny-fold by the radiations to give plant binders more material for.-Am-hvlI'C new

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION

Facing Nuclear Age

By "onlooker" of the London. England Bureau of Thomson Newspapers

Britains 'just-announced cuts in defence costs - a whitiling down of Regular forces strength to 357.- 000. cutting costs by S507.tl00.000 during the coming year as a start ---shows how Britain is at last facing facts in this nuclear age. it ai-kiiovtlciigcs that from nniv on the "go it alone" mentality is out. Only with her allies, it is now ad- mitted. can she really hope to put up I worth-while defence against the threat of nuclear attack.

Duncan Sandys.' Britain's De- fence liliiusier. h B s certainly shocked traditionalists. Out will go many famous regiments, regi- ments whose history has gone back two or three hundred years. Out will go before 1970, the bulk of the manned fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force. Instead. the boys in light blue will be more con- ' cerned with handling the new mis- silos that Britain is to make and America is to send.

Another blow to the die-hards: the Navy. after ten years of inter- departmental struggle has now ad- mitted that it is no longer ex- cept in years. the "Senior Service." but rather part of the whole de- fence mt-up.

Out soon will go the live battle- ships the U.l(. still inaintains Four of them are now in mothhalls. but they still take up thousands of dol- lars a year to maintain. instead Britain is to follow the American pattern and create "task force" nee-is - A carrier supported by I number of other, smaller ships.

But that Easter. Ind for every Enster until she died. the old wo- man put aside I hot-cross bun for her son. When she did die. neighbours found the buns, and in the son's memory hung them from the ceiling.

The cottage is gone now. but the bun-hanging goes on. Each year I new bun is hung from the ceiling by I sailor home on shore leave.

BRIGHTER YET?

There are other indications that this might be I bright Easter. AI I write. the annual Budget is with- in I few days of publlcntion. It is expected to bring some relief - not. it is true. as much Is moIt Britons hope. but some. 'Looklng for most relief is what used to be called the middle-clIII - the upper-working class now. There are the people in the S2800 45600 I year salary group-

Up to now. successive pIrtieI of all colours have been giving the biggest cessions to the lower working class. and now there is in- creasing Igitatlon for the "ex-mid- dle-clIss." whose earnings hnva not gone up anything like those of the lower-pair workers. to get I fnlrer crack of the whip.

But the whole ldeI of tax relief, Inys the London psper "The Tim- es." must go beyond the idea of letting the wage-earner keep more in his pocket. There must be I determined effort in gel the if Iter- ling I worth-while unit of curren- cy Ignln. A i945 .6100. points out "The Times." will only buy E40 worth of goods today.

In more recent years it hIs been more sednte, Attack has come mostly from the cheaper. bright- er papers like the mIsI-circuiI- lion "Daily Mirror." which goes into no less thIn 4.000.000 homes. Ind the Benverbrook controlled "Daily Express."

But - for this week. anyhow - the old lady hII first pin: in the firing line.
