Mr. Lapoinlek Challenge

“A risky gamble" is how the Sydney _Post- Record (independent) describes H011. limflfil Lapoitite's astounding statement that all the Quebec members of the Dominion Cabinet, in- cluding himself, would resign their offices if the Duplessis Government should win the Provincial election 0n the 25th of this month. In assum- ing such an attitude, says our Sydney contem- porary, .\lr. Lapointc and~his colleagues,—pro- viding lic really has authority to speak for them as he does-blast their way recklessly through all political precedent, and render a doubtful service to Canada.

Without attempting to defend the Quebec Pre- mier's attitude the Post-Record sees “no reason, no excuse, no intelligent explanation that can be urged, by way of interpreting in terms of com- mon sense the action of the Minister of justice in making this Quebec election fight look like a. Dominion conflict, in declaring it publicly to be l test of the King Government's war policy, in proclaiming that, if the Duplessis forces win, the four Quebec Ministers of the Crown at UHHWPI will acknowledge themselves beaten and will quit their Cabinet posts forthwith. Tltis Quebec clcc- tion, is not a Federal election, and nothing that Mr. Duplessis or Mr. Lapointc may say can al- ter that obvious constitutional fact."

Two guesses at Ottawa are quoted as to the real reason for Mr. Lapointe’s “break” on this occasion. One is that his consuming animosity toward Premier Duplcssis has deprived him for the time being of his better judgment. The oth- er is that he really wishes to bc relieved of his Cabinct post, and that, having gone down with colors flying in this Quebec election, he can point to his dcfcat,—for if the Duplessis Gov- ernment wins, Mr. Lapointe says it will mean his defeat,-—as a reason for resigning, and possi- bly accepting a judicial position, where he can serve his country without having recourse to the distracting and dubious tests of contested elec- tions in the future. There is of cours; a third alternative theory. Mr. Lapointe may feel con- fident that his intervention, and that of his col- leagues, will result in the overthrow of the Dup- lessis regime. There is too the possibility that he is ivzirrnntcd in such an expectation, though few if any seasoned political observers share it. with him. But at best he is taking awful chances in staking his own political future, to say nothing of the King Government's prestige and even existence, on the outcome of Quebec's Provincial election.

Religion And Neutrality

But. it is very hard '00 1m- agfne Russia helping Hitler.

In other words. our neighbors to the south when they pay ninety cents for our dollar are no more trying to be nasty towards us than they were trying to be good fellows inwards us when. a few months 880. they paid $1.02 for our dollar.

nlted States set out to buy a tre- mendous amount of goods from us- much more than we were buying frcm them-and consequently need- ed a lot of Canadian dollars with which to pav for the goods, that would mean that the Canadian d01- lar, more 1n demand than the American dollar, would go to n premium.
