By J.M. ROBERTS, Jr. [Associated Press News Analyst) Revival by Russia of that fav- orite weapon of the 1900s, the

"non-aggression" pact, brings an ominous note to the cold war. "when the dictators talk about

peace. small countries have to ronsider their defence," remarks a Copenhagcn newspaper, remem-

bering well what happened to Den- mark when Hitler started tearing up treaties.

But the lessons taught by dead Hitler were not. the one: that caused shivers up and down Scan- dinriian spines as Russia applied

the hcnt to Norway. All about were living reminders of what Russian treaties have meant to

the. neighbors of the Norwegians, ihs Swedes and Danes.

They remember well Litvinovb definition of a treaty of neutral- iiy as "nothing but one of the ele- ments in lhe preparation for war."

In the cases of Fin- lsnd and Poland alone she vio- lated her signatures on the Sov- iel-Poiish treaty of peace; the Brisnd-Kellog anti-war pact; a non-aggression treaty with Poland; her own definitions of aggression rontnined in lrcatics with nine countries: the convention of the

dale.

Trahan, 7.999: and farmer Romulus

Some last-minute confusion was encountered when it was discov- ered that one parish in the l03rd poll reporting had been included in the count of 102 polls. This was corrected and an amended final count which gave Cliapdclaine a plurality of L96. ,

'EVEll with these figures Trahan refused to concede until official returns are announced Feb. I0.

The total vote of 16.726 was 1.151 more than the 15.515 ballots cast in the 194-5 general election.

Neither of the two major con-

testants was able to poll 50 per cent of the vote. Mr. Chapdelalne came closest. with approximately- 49.5 per cont. and Mr. Trahan had about 47.8.. , Mr. Chaprielaillefs victory was reported by the. Canadian Press at 8:50 P.M. EST (9:50 P.M.. AST). tiwo hours and 50 minutes after the polls closed. At that. time 85 of the rldlilgs 103 polls had re- ported.

Even earlier. on the basis of in- formation supplied by the Canad- ian Press, Paul Sabourin. Pro- gressive Conservative leader in Quebec Province said "Mr. Chap- delainefls victory is assured and complete, and it. is a great vic- tory also for Mr. Drew (George Drew, the Party's Federal lead- erl."

On the first poll reported, Mr. Chopdelaine trailed by l2 votes, but all later announcements from the headquarters of returning of- ficer Charles Edouard Vllleneuve sholuied the Progressive Conserva- tive candidate ahead.

His margin at one time reached 550 and the late returns began to cut into this sharply but not en- ough to change the final result. The late reports were largely from Yomaske County. which until re- distribution of I933. was a SCDBTB" constituency and had last V0190 Conservative in I887. Nicolet. as an individual riding, last. returned o, Conservative in I911.

Up to the time of his death Mr. Dubots had held the seat since 1M0.

In the general election of 1946. Mr. Dubois defeated Mr. Trahan with a phiralily of 1.3115 much larger than the margin Mr. Tra- han lost by today. »
