The people of Canada have been told anrl will probably be told again and again during this election campaign that ap- pointments to key positions in connection with the Dtllﬂlniﬂlfu war effort have been made on a strictly non-partlzan basis

To 85 positions of chief importance on the l8 main boards set up by the Liberal government since war was declared last September only six known Conservatives have been appointed, excluding permanent civil servants who, whatever their politics may once have been, ca ‘ now be considered adherents of any

political party.

This fact is illuminating. It disposes eloquently oi’ the Lib- eral claim that the best brains in Canada will be and have been used by the party administration in power, irrespective of polit- Ical allegiance, in the prosecution of the war.

The King government's idea of n. united national effort is that Liberals must come first, that the best way to bring Canada through the war as a united nation is to confine the administra- tion ol’ the war effort almost exclusively to prriy stalwarts,

Here are the names of the l8 boards surveyed: War Supply Board. tVar Time Prices and Talle Board, War Time Advisers, Voluntary Service Registration, War Times (‘hnritles Adminis- tration, Transport Control, Dependents‘ Allowance Board, Agri- culture Supplies’ Committee, Bacon Board. Canadian Shipping Board, Censorship Co-ordination Cominittee, Prisoners of lt-‘ar Information Bureau, Commonwealth Alr Training Plan, Court of ippeal under the Enemy Alien Act, Custodian of Enemy Proper- ty, Department of Public Information, Foreign Exchange Control Ricard and Naturalization Certificate: Board.

Sill/egotia ting Conciliation Pacts

Treaties Planned-To Include Canada, Australia, South Africa And New Zealand.

(By Andrue Berdiiig, Associated Press Staff Writer)

wAsl-ilriﬁiilON, March '7—(AP) —The United states, it was learn- ed today. is negotiating treaties of conciliation with Canada, Aus- tralia, South Africa. and New Zea- land

The treaties will provide that any dispute arising between the United Stall/es and a Dominion shall be referred to a Permanent conciliation commission. to be composed of five members. There will be a semrate commission for each Dominion.

The treaties may become of more than ordinary significance because all four Dominions are at war with Germany. Hence, lt;_ is possible that dfiilculties arising out oi the present economic wor- fare will create disputes requirine conciliation,

The independent status of the Dominions, achieved with the ad- aption of Statute of Westminster in 1931. accounts for the n tia- tions. The United States as a conciliation treaty with Great Bri- tain, but its references to the Do. minions are now regarded as out of date
