YV-fand throughout the Dominion will subscribe to ' he wisdom of Lord SALIsaumfs words. The {fact that they have “lost their votes”, as the ‘Iphrase goes, that policies which they believe to P-be in the best interests of the country have been ffshelved for the time being, should not prevent ithem from co-operating as far as possible with

' f-the new administration.

' Nothing that Canada has achieved in the

past five years of word depression has been .altered by Monday’s adverse vote against the ELNNETT Government. We still lead all other Tnations in world recovery. We have reduced ‘unemployment to a lower level and created more employment than existed in the normal year $1926. We have a favourable trade balance of l_$r 50,000,000. We stand fifth among the export" Zfrading nations of the world, and enjoy a greater §proportion of world trade than we did in 1929. iOur dollar and our credit abroad stand at a new thigh level. We enjoy reciprocal trade.prefer- lences with Great Britain and the rest of the §§Empire on a scale offering practically unlimited ppportunitics‘ to our agricultural producers. We {retain friendly relations with our neighbor, the iUnited States, and with the rest of the world. lThese are facts which, now that the political jcampaign is over, none will any longer care to zdisjsute. They constitute the working capital

. lxvhirh the new Kmo Government will have to fslart with.

_ "Oneof the things which tended to retard ltCanadnls recovery under the BENNETT admin- fistration was the attitude of some at least of its .political opponents, who were more concerned

. Ewith votes than with the country's interests, and

l §with exploiting prejudice and spreading pessi-

,*:mism,' than with their duties as citizens. A cynic

{might say that their policy was justified by

';.Monday’s results. In the long run it was not

ijustified, nor does it establish a precedent in any

zfiway justifying a similar procedure on the part inf the now Opposition.

Canada is by no means out of the woods,

ifinancially or otherwise. Mr. KING, whatever

;his pro-election attitude may have been, what-

jever majority he may have behind him in Par-

fliament, will be heartily glad of co-operation

[from statesmen of the calibre of Mr, BENNETT

sand his Conservative colleagues, and we believe

gthat co-operation will be given unstintedly.

After The Battle

Apropoe the Dominion election results the Mail and Empire recalls the words of the late Lord SAusmixY, then Lord Cranborne, after the fierce and bitter controversy over the Reform . Bill of i867. After his party had been beaten, tSAussuav said: “It is theduty of every English- i gman and of every English party to accept a po- qlitical defeat cordially and to lend their best aendeavours to secure the success, or to neutralize Zthe evil, of the principles to iwhich they have §been forced to succumb, England has committed ‘Qmany mistakes as a nation in the course of her iihistory, but the mischief has- been more than- gcorrected by the heartiness with which, after each zgreat struggle, victors and vanquished have for- §gotten their former battles and have combined Qtogether to lead the new policy to its best results. '._-'\\'e have no wish to be‘ unfaithful to so whole- ysome a tradition. As far, therefore, as our Lib- ieral adversaries are concerned, we shall dismiss igthe long controversy with the expression of an Eearnest hope that their sanguine confidence may lprove in the results to have been wiser than our Efears.” , Conservative supporters in this Province

Erosion In The Empire

Today, writes Mr. G. C. WArsoN in “United '- iii/viva," millions of acres of the Imperial do- Qnain all over the world are in danger of destruc- gtion by the uncontrolled forces of erosion. In Qnany parts huge areasare losing their original gfertility; in others, immense tracts of once val- Qiable land have already reverted to desert, while ‘miany more are "on the way.” If such basic §ources 0f the Empire's wealth are to be main- Elaincd it is evident that more effective anti-eros- yion scheme must be instituted. South Africa, of all Empire countries, has _-perhaps suffered most for want of effective anti- erosion measures. Here, Nature is not so kind as jn northern latitudes like Canada where a pro- ; Qective “blanket” of snow is provided during qinter months. Moreover, the relentless rays of - sub-tropical sun beat down through the rari- jied atmosphere of her plateau with withering i fitfect. Floods and droughts alternate at all sea- ‘ ions of the year, taking their toll of life and operty, almost as a matter of course. Her gold some measure may compensate; but it can ever pay for the permanent loss by erosion of huge tracts of her arable land. ' In Australia we have many other examples 1 of incalculable loss from erosion—-the Murray L River affords one. Although its annual flow has _.__remained._collstnnt_for 5o years, the summer . ‘flow has been reduced by nearly one-half. This, again, is directly due to deforestation of the uenue, the enormous ex- 'niillions) on dams and Qftrlgniion works has largely been rendered futile. - In Palestine, where soil in a precious com- lllcdlly, h cloudbursf recently carried awnymil- f rich eartlrinto the Mediterran-

causes, have been deprived of vegetation; droughts and floods defeat the farmers’ efiorts to make good. .

The most simple and’ effective remedies against erosion include preservation of the soil's natural cover of trees and herbage ; in short, by ivise and provident methods of agriculture. When the “vegetational balance" is upset there is liter- ally no limit to the chain of evils that result.
