Results In Nova Scotla At the time of writing, unofficial reports give victory to the Conserva- uws in yesterday's Nora bcolla elections, though by 3 V”-V H059 margin. If this be the case, it spells , the end of twenty-file years of Lib- eral rule in our sister Province and prmitlcs an olncct lesson to Oppo- sition parties in other Proxinces who may feel discouraged at the seeming impossibility of making headway against gmct-inncnts long entrench- ed in power. t”rr1a1nly it is more difficult now than in former years to upset zuiy ldtllllllllS1l"dllOll,- and Mr. Stanfield's rccorti shows that it is not an easy matter. He became head of his party in 1948 when the Conservatives were without a seat in the House, They. had been wiped out in a 1947) Liberal landslide. In 1949 Mr. Stanfield and six supporters be- came the official Opposition again. In 1953, in the last fight against the late Premier Angus L. Macdonald they increased their number to 12. The next year they won a by-9180' tion to make it 13 out of 37 seats. It was uphill fighting all the way, and certainly yesterday's contest was no exception.

Leadership is what counts, how- ever, and evidently Mr. Stanfield has what it takes to bring his party into combat trim. Whether or not the indications of the defeat of the Hicks Government are verified, the result places the Conservatives in the strongest position they have en- joyed for many years.

Threat To World Peace

Israel's misguided invasion of Egypt has brought worldwide reper- cussions, fully justified by the dan- ger which may result from this ex- plosive incident. Whatever provoca- tions Israel may have had, her act on this occasion was irresponsible in the extreme, and the prdmpt re- action of her best friends among the nations-Britain. France and the United States--indicates that this new threat to peace in the Middle East will not be tolerated. The Unit- ed States may suggest action by the United Nations in the form of econ- omic and diplomatic roprlsals. To aid the Egyptians, if necessary, Britain has available the air, land and sea forces she rushed to the eastern Mediterranean when their own President Nasser seized the Suez Canal. It would be an ironic turn of rate should this force now have to be used in defence of Egypt- ian sovereignty. Egypt, however, does not welcome intervention in the Canal Zone and has ordered general mobilization on her own account. Both Israel and Egypt have rejected an Anglo-French ultimatum to stop fighting within twelve hours, and the situation is now very critical. The Israeli leaders have done ir- rcparable harm to their own cause in this instance. They insisted, be- fore the United Nations Security Council recently, in reserving the "right" of retaliation, thus flouting the basic principle of the organiza- tion on which they are most depend- ent for existence. It was Jordan which instituted the present investi- gatim of events in the Middle East by asking that the Security Council be omvensd. The Jordanian repres- otftahve outlined charge: of Israeli

rlallowe'en Hallowelen festivities are almost universal at this season, and stem from beliefs and customs of very ancient times. Nowadays, however, even the children are too sophistic- ated to credit the supernatural stor- ies which once made our ancestors tremble. Only the festive associa- tions have been retained, and so long as these are confined to fun and frolic there can be no objection. I-Ialloweten is a children's night and the young should have every scope for good-natured entertainment. The limit is easily definable as being any kind of fun that is harmless to them- selves and others. What cannot be tolerated in roudyism, which on some past occa- sion-' has been indulged in by youths with a bent for boisterous rampag- lng and causing damage to property not their own. For demonstrations of this kind there is no room in any community which prides itself on living law-abiding, and it is to be liopwi that tonight's celebration will he kept within reasonable bounds. l in recent years a quite noticeable I improvement has been effected in ' this regard, largely by the holding

of children's entertainments on a

wide scale by service organizations. Parents are expected to cooperate by cautioning their children as to their responsibilities, and the Police will be on hand to see that law and order is maintained.

Mr. Duncan's Views

In an address before the Canadian Council of the Intemational Cham- ber of Commerce Mr. James S. Duncan, retired chairman of Massey- Harris - Ferguson Ltd.' had some things to say which should be taken to heart by all Canadians. Referring to his experience on his trip to Rus- sia last summer Mr. Duncan re- marked: ”Here we have the fruits of civilization while the Russian people have nothing. But they are the ones who are willing to go out in a spirit of self-sacrifice andalso are willing to inject other peoples with the same spirit. It seems to me we ought to be the ones". And, of course, he is quite right. The Free World has much more to offer the countries just coming into national responsi- bilities than Soviet Communism has -a thousand times more; but until more energy and zeal is put into its dissemination the democratic idea will be at a disadvantage.

Still more pertinent was Mr. Dun- can't observation on the danger of the West's losing the cold war through "lndolence". "We are too prosperous", he said, "We've become soft, we've lost some of that rugged- ness of temperament which built Canada into a powerful country". Certainly, history is replete with in- stances where too much prosperity brought about a gradual lessening of moral strength and unity of pur- pose. Certainly, too, this country was not set on the road to economic greatness by men whose chief desire was for security and the easy way but by men who took the rough with the smooth, who put adventure be- fore security and who coveted the stimulating effect of risky undertak-

ings. I EDITORIAL NOTES

A petition signed by a large num- ber of Poles has asked the new head of the Communist Party in that country to reinstate Cardinal Wy- szynski who was removed from his office in 1953. The petition states that such action would be a con- vincing proof of the new leaders "faith in tolerance and liberty".

Poland And Hungary

By Ernest Marsh Reuters Service. London .

Hungary and Poland, now in ferment. after moves aimed at turning from Moscow-dominated to national communism became Communist -.tatcs in the im- poverished years immediately af- ter the Second World War.

With the Red Army, which

swept the Germans from Eastern 1

Europe in the closing stages. of the war, oc. pying Hungary and

l

Poland from 1945 on, the Com- ,

munists there worked relentlessly to gain power.

And, as in all East European states, the pattern that brought success wasg roughly the same. though the timing differed

The infiltration of trade unions,

Ferenc Nagy was virtually power- less. The Communists held all the vital ministries.

In the national electiops of Aug- ust, 1917. the Communists emerged as the strongest single party. The Communilts' drive for power culminated in the 1949 mer- ger of all the main political par- ties into the Hungarian Peoplels independence Front. ;

Poland

After the Nazi attack on Poland, 1

' two Polish governments-in-exilel

key organizations and vital gov- l

ernment posts, the formation of coalitions with democratic parties followed by the disappearance of opposition grou,s and elections with a single list of candidates. HELD VITAL POSTS V The two principal personalities in the present upheavals-lmre Nagy in Hungary and Wladyalaw Gomulka in Poland - held vital posts as their parties climbed to power. Nagy became interior min- ister in the post-war Hungarian

coalition government: Gomulka was the Polish Comnumist party secretary.

Here, in outline, was how the Communists rose to power in Hungary, with its population of .i0.000.000, and in Poland, with 27,000,000.

But the Smsllholders had agreed I

with the Communists that after the election all the main parties should be represented in the gov- ernment. This was the Communist toehold.

A struggle developed for the post of minister of the interior. Eventually the Smallholdcrs con-

ceded it to the Communists-and ,

into the post went lmre Nagy. A Communist also got the defence ministry, GAVE IN TO REDS
