The Ontario Election

The victory of the Frost Government in yesterdayls Ontario election was one of those things which everybody was pre- dicting-even in quarters where its over- throw would have been welcomed. At the time of writing, reports indicated the Gov- ernment's return with an undiminisheri majority. This would give it a wide margin of support in the next Legislature, which will have ninety-eight seats in all. At dis- solution the Conservative held 78 of the 90 seats provided for at that time.

The election seems to have run pretty much the same course as did the Liberal

victory in this Province. The Government :

stood on its record of past performances and on a program designed to give more aid to education, welfare and public works. The Liberals stressed particularly the need of implementing a more equitable system of grants to municipalities. and there were appeals to the public to join hands in ousting the "Queen's Park clique."

No doiibit the basic factor in Ontario, as in this Province. was the general meas- ure of prosperity and the general level of good govermnent, maintained by an ad- ministration long enough in office to have acquired a professional political technique, with no scandals to its discredit and with a highly efficient pa-rty organization which was not allowed to fall into disrepair dur- ing off-election years. Opposition parties start off with a disadvantage under such conditions. They must work twice. as hard and twice as efficiently as the government in power. not merely during election cam- paigns but all the year round. and espe- cially during legislative sessions, if they an to convince the electorate that it is hdeed "time for I change". It is hard. up-

Force's enlistment problem is not to be found in dissolving the Army, or vice versa. But. asks our Toronto contempor- ary, is this proposal any worse than the proposal (lately floating about Ottawa) that Canada's twelve air squadrons be pulled out of Western Europe and sent to defend the North? 15 it any more disturb- ing than the proposal, offered as an alter- native to this, that the United States Air Force invited to man our Northern do fense line? Given a proper knowledge of our manpower resources, we could make proper use of them. Knowing what we were really able to do in the way of de- ifense, we could be doing it. The essential thing is to find out where we stand, in view of our resources on the one hand, and our defense commitments on the other. The whole issue seems due for a very thorough inquiry by Parliament,

A City Of Desolation

The impending 700th anniversary of the foundation of Koenigsberg will be a sad day for its former inhabitants. 690 Yeats of a progressive rise of that capital of East Prussia were followed by ten years

of Soviet administration, the Soviet Union 1'

having annexed Koenigsberg together with the north of East Prussia in 1945. These

ten years have witnessed a decline with- i

out precedent. With the exception of

about two dozen Germans, the 372,000 '

German inhabitants of that city have been expelled, deported to Russia, or slain since 1945. The city which was badly damaged during the war and repeatedly looted under Russian occupation, offers a picture of desolation. Koenigsberg with its harbour, its navy base of Pillau and the air base of Samland is regarded by Moscow as the centre of the East Prussian military re- doubt. The city and its surroundings are administered by the military on strictly military lines. Even the new Russian in- habitants, mostly soldiers in reserve, were specially selected.

While the functionaries live in the hair- bour quarter, tens of thousands of newly settled inhabitants live in wooden shacks. The vast soldiers' barracks are strangely matched by the civilian "homes" in the remaining cellars of the inner city.

Practically every trace of the former German character of Koenigsberg has been extinguished, with the exception of

hill work, and the tendency for Opposition parties lai such circumstances is to lose heart, to drift from one platform to an- other and. worse yet. to try to imitate what seems to them the successful plat- form of the party in office. This. as the Globe and Mail noted in an editorial which we quoted recently. is the biggest errorscf an. "opposition parties in all Provinces, and in Ottawa itself," remarked our Toronto contemporary sagely, "will best serve themselves and the electorate by presenting (however hopeless it may ap- pear) real alternatives. The time must some-it always has-when the people want a change. And in any event, Govern- ments in office. especially Governments long entrenched. should be constantly under criticism from Oppositions which know what they are about.”

Something Raclically Wrong The speech made in Toronto by Air Vice-Marshal Plant declaring that the army should be abolished has cost him his job as air member for technical services, and appears to have sparked a general shuffle in the Defence Department at Ottawa. Latest development is the retire- ment of Lieutenant General Simonds as Chief of the General Staff, who some time ago said publicly that Canada should have compulsory service in peacetime. It is re- called, too, that Air Marshal Slemon. Chief of the Air Staff. who recommended the action taken against Vice-Marshal Plant, was himself the subject of queries in Parliament. a few weeks ago. regarding I statement that unification of the Cana- dian and U. 5. air defenses of North Am- orioa was inevitable. There is no question but that these bop-ranking officers were speaking out of turn when they attempted to discuss gov- ernment policies. But the very fact that they have done so may point to something sorioinly wrong with our national defense setup. These men are supposed to be ex- perts in their line. and it is evident that they are not at all satisfied with the pre- sent situation. In Alr Vice-Marshal Plant's case, as well as in the statqnent previous- ly attributed to Lieutenant General Sim- onds, the issue is one of manpower. As the Globe and Mali points out, it is un- doubtedly true that Canada has not en- ough to simport a fully affective army and air force without compulsory service. No- body can say how large those forces could lie, because no exact. or oven approximate, accounting has ever been made of Can- ada's manpower situation. All we know is

the monuments to Immanuel Kant and Schiller. The Cathedral, however, the famous Castle, the Opera House, the The- atre and the University are in ruins. Sadly enough, the churches have been rehabili- tated as warehouses and storehouses. Thus the constructive effort of seven centuries has been wiped out, and the city survives only in the memory of its former German inhabitants who are dispersed all over Eu- rope.

U. K. Election

According to the London Tim... the election in the United Kingdom posed is- sues which neither the Conservatives nor the Socialists were willing to face.

"The campaign." says The Times, "has been disheartening to anyone who cares deeply about the working of democratic institutions. That it has been dull is of little importance; that it has been escapist and evasive is serious.

"From the launching of the two main 'manifes'i0s, each unsatisfactory in its own 'way, onwards there has been a steady re- tfusal to face the really difficult issues or to state harsh, uncomfortable facts. The electorate, if it is treated as adult at all. is regarded as a rather unadmirabie kind of adult. It is flattered, and lulled, and Iwooed, ands-particularly by the Labour Party-bid for.

"Neither side is willing to be forth- right about inflation. the balance of pay- merits, the responsibilities of trade union- ism, the deep-seated social issue of wage differentials. Certain subjects and insti- tutions are now hedged df from open dis- cussion as if they were sacrosanct. So long as we tolerate such a state of affairs. we should cease glib talk of being an in- formed democracy.”

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is a tribute to Mr. Attlee's leader- ship of the Labor party in Britain that his announcement to quit to make room for a younger man, following the party's defeat in the general election, has provoked un- animous expressions of dissent from his followers in Parliament. Accordingly, the 72-year old leader has decided to put off his retirement, until a more acceptable choice can be made.
