Notes By The Way

The Bolton. Kansas. Recorder. reports an Arkansas farmer who bought two hound dogs at the be- ginning of i934 for fifty cents apiece and at the end of the year appraised them at $100 apiece. By dint of this accounting he was abl». to show a small profit on the farm. The Kansas paper suggests that. such a man would make a good bookkeeper for the New Deal, but a little contemplation of the record demonstrates that this Arkansas gnnius would be wasted in a routinc job.

The Conser- vatives, he says. prefer the earlier date while the Liberals now desire to see the appeal delayed as long as possible within constitutional limits. If this be so. it shows a reversal the attitudes of the two parties on the question since last fall, when the press abounded with assertions that the Opposition member were determined to "force" the Govern- ment to the country bry a militant

According to the same authority, is Government will propose a Parlia- mentary recess from April 18 to May 20, to enable Premier Bennett to attend the King's Jubilee cele- bration at London. Should this re- cess be agreed upon, the Govern- ment's desire would be to wind up the sessional business quickly and fix the election date for the last week in June. As against this plan. the alleged preference of the Op- position for a le-ter dlssolutlonJs cited, and if such s preference of the Opposition for a later dis- solution is cited. and if such a pro‘- ference actually exists, it is not easy to see hcw an appeal to the country can take place earlier than mid- sum-me. On the other hand, the Ministers are said to be unanimous- ly against a July or August election. owing to the large number of absentee summer voters with 0on- servative leanings. ' One consideration that lends weight to these speculations is the remarkable lack of miiitancy in the Liberal opposition. which is accept- ing the Government's reform pro- gramme with little protest, and, as the Mall correspondent says, has shown distinct "apathy" ever since the beginning of the session. specu- lations. however, will soon yield place to definite certainties on the point, for, if the Liberals wish to postpone i-he date of the election they can easily do so. The one present certainty is that the Op- position has abandoned completely its ann -' im-sessional stategy or forcing the Government's hand and concentrating on an early dis- solution. The election can hardly be held earlier than July and present indications point to September as the probable month for the cam- Pligh- a different angle.
