paragraphs telling of a routine riot somewhere in the vast subcontinent.
| It broke out on a massive scale when India became independent and split into two-states. There ensued what one on-the-spot observer -has describ- ed as probably the largest civil disord- er the world has known. The cost in lives has never been tabulated exactly, but it is estimated that eight and one- half million people fled successfully in each direction, About one in 45 of the inhabitants of India was a refu- gee; about one in 12 persons in Pak- istan was.
This disturbance took place 18 years ago, but that is not too long for men still young to retain memory of its horror. An American commen- tator, in this connection; recalls that the Civil War in his own country bred bitterness that even yet has not fully, disappeared.

“The strongest memory is weaker than the weakest ink” RAGE 4 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1965. . t Reluctant Followers ¢ ‘The oldtime Tory “Establishment” crowd, as represented by the big busi- ness and bureaucratic interests, never — took kindly to-Mr. Diefenbaker when in power; but a valiant effort is being thade to paper over the cracks in this dlection-campaign, and the resutts will be watched with interest across the nation. A hard core of this | tagonism was centred in Toronto. Sirs own reaction to it was epitomiz- ed in Peter Newmap’s account —of The Diefenbaker Years,” in which it {6 stated that the then prime minister liked to paraphrase Franklin Roose- velt by saying, with a half-averted poker face: “There are more votes on Main Street than Bay Street.” But the ‘Bay. Street’ gents proved this to be a fallacy when the showdown ¢ame. ~ * How about this time?) According to ‘the Toronto Star, party candidates in the Metro constituencies are aware that the Diefenbaker name is still a handicap; but they're stuck with it and doing, their best to make all the mileage they can on it.
Typical is the attitude of Dalton Camp, the national president of the party, who is planning to run against Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp in Eglinton. Questioned on his attitude toward his leader, Mr. Camp came up with this intriguing statement; “T’ll support Mr. Diefenbaker at least as fully as Mr. Sharp will support Mr. Pearson.” Which would seem to imply that, unknown to the public, there are feuds and rebellions among the Liberal leaders as dire as those that have plagued the Conservatives.
An even touchier case, notes the . Toronto paper is that of George Hogan, the secretary of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Association, who is seeking the nomination . in York West. Mr. Hogan broke with

Prime Minister Lester Pear- |
son_has called Canada’s 27th General Election becatise he
‘wants a majority to face ‘‘Par- |
liament's increasing uncertainty and factiousness,” he says. |
to get better representation for
the Liberal Party in the prairie |
provinces."
Whether or not Mr. Pearson was justified in calling this fifth election within one hundred
months will not be a major ts- |
sue in the campaign. But this question will help many voters decide whether the Pearson ad- ministration is sufficently sin- cere and public-spirited to de- | serve to be set firmly in the saddle with an effective major- ity. eZ
Long before hé became a pol-- itician in 1948, Lester Bowles Pearson was widely known and deservedly respected. both in Canada and abroad, as a civil servant skilled in international relations. With - his personal
charm and dipomatic tact, he | |
was regarded 1s perhaps the |

The efforts of Communism to cling to the singular notion that Russians are immune: to the
| profit incentive has finally col-
lapsed with a bang which Mos-
| cow is trying to play down in a
formally-worded communique.
The Soviet’s industrial -mana- gement agency has decreed that starting on, Oct. . 1, manage- ments of the state, dairy, meat- packing and conféctionery in- dustries are to plan their pro- duction on the basis of orders received from wKolesalers and retailers instead. of from targets handed down by the Kremlin's central planners_
This direct-orders system has
‘already been introduced in 400 | Soviet apparel and footwear fac- | tories and is explained by USSR
readers as another text of prof- “it- motivated economic reform.
This so-called ‘‘test’’ isa tacit acknowledgment that Russia

| our oxen as tourist assets. About
-the—worst—thing—they—can—say
about the oxen is that they make | | us look old-fashioned.
What these critics probably do not know is that most of these so-called ‘‘old-fashioned’’ farm- ers, who annually participate in ox-pulling contests at exhibitions and elsewhere, are not as far behind the times as some peo- ple believe
