A Truman Victory

According to a New York Times leading pro-election article, President Truman Wiwld have to be "a miracle man" to win in Tues- day's Presidential contest. This is a sample gof the many confident predictions of a Dewey vic- tory which failed to materialize. So far as tnc professional prognosticators were concerned - rncluding the Gallop pollsmcn —— IIZWGS 0H5 0i the most surprising upsets in American electoral history. The Democrats scored all along the ine, winning a maiority in both houses of Con- gress which the Republicans previously controll- ed, much to the detriment of President Tru- man's labour, housing and anti-inflation poll- cies.

Both major parties were pledged to con- tinue non-partisan administration of ..a foreign policy which has been their ioint concern during the last three years. Canadian interests, how- ever, have always been more closely aligned with Democratic tariff policies, and Tuesday's re- suits may be interpreted as a good omen for still more favorable trade relations between Ca- nada and the United States. This undoubtedly will be welcomed at Ottawa, and no doubt every effort will be made to capitalize on it by the Dominion Government before the next Federal general election.

ln conceding his defeat at the hands of President Truman, Mr. Dewey, in the finest sport- ing tradition, wired his "heartiest congratula- tions" and best wishes for a successful admin- istration, urging all Americans to unite behind the President in support of "every effort to keep our nation strong and free and establish peace in the world."

All through his campaign Mr. Dewey follow- ed bfie same laudable course. He stooped to no personal or partisan abuse. As a statesman he saw that there were issues of graver im- portance than those of merely domestic concern. We are still threatened with what is going on behind the lron Curtain, industrially and agri- culturally, in both European and Asiatic Russia and the countries that have aligned themselves with the Soviet Union. As a leading champion of Democracy the United States — as Mr. Dewey himself said in one of his campaign ltll’€l'Vl€WS—‘ is standing today "at the crossroads." A man ln his position can do a great deal to strengthen the President's hands on the tiller of the ship of state. There is a notable Republican precedent for this in the wholehearted support given Presi- dent Roosevelt’: wartime policies by the late Mr. Willkie. Mr, Dewey now has the opportunity of

~-turning his defeat into a-great-moral victory,

and all the indications are that he will rise to the occasion. -.____________

The "C. C. F. as well as the Liberals are reported to be considering the possibility of not contesting the federal by-clection in Carleton on Dec. 20 against the Progressive Conservative leader, Col. Drew. In view of the record of this constituency, which has been represented by a Conservative member since I867, the feeling of both the Liberals and the C.C.F. against a con- test in Carleton is understandable. In the I945 general election Carleton returned G. Russell Bcucher with lO,9l6 votes. The Liberal candi- dcitc secured 5,309 votes and the C.C.F. candi- date l,730. TilCFL‘ is therefore little prospect of a repetition af~the i942 by-election in South Grey, whore the Liberals stood aside and did not nominate (lg inst Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighcn, but tlirzi-r nil t ir weight behind the C. C.

Carleton has been represented in the past

by Sir John A. Mezdonald (l882-l89l) and by‘

~ Poppy Fund llhrectives

Preparations are now under way for the no- tional Pcppy campaign which is the fitting pre- lude tr the observance of Remembrance Day on Nay, .4, For the first time in its history, the Canadian Legion has set a financial objective, and it is hoped that during the campaign, through the purchase of poppies, the people of Canada

. will make $1,000,000 available for the relief of

distress among Canada's war veterans and their dependents. The objective for Prince Edward ls- lond has been set ct 57.200. Nova Scotio's objec- fiyg i; $49,200, New Brunswick's $39,000.

ln a campaign announcement Lt. Col. L. D. M. Baxter, O.B.E., Dominion president of the Canadian Legion, points out that many govern- ment benefits provided under the Rehabilitation Act are running out, and if assistance is to be continued where it is needed, more money must be provided. lt is felt that the national ODIGCYIVB is a comparatively modest om, as it represents less than nine cents per copita of Canada's popu- lotion. In Great Britain, despite much heavier postwar difficulties, the average annual con- tribution to the fund is sixty cents per copita. , _ _

Al in other yum, the poppy fund is raised and administered locally bywolunteers, and every csnrpntldod goal to assist worthy veterans or Ihllr dependents in addition to supplying orn- ployllont for thou older Nhrans wlio manufac- tim the poppies and wreaths.

Tliat statistics are misleading is well known but sometimes forgotten by the statisticians themselves. A recent study by the Prices Com- mission revealed that the typical woman buys over one-ond-a-holf house dresses a year and other fractional clothing to accompany them. lf the commission can find one lady who so orders her wardrobe it would be surprising enough. To say she is typical is incredible.

"A full stomach is the ally of reason," said Dr. Edith Summerskill, M. P. at a women's con- ference in England recently, which, of course, accounts for the number of dieting females.

Manitoba is to tighten up its automobile registration system according to the Winnipeg Free Press. One change already made is that on a transfer of ownership the license plate stays with the individual, not with the car.

An even greater improvement would be making the license plate permanent.

THE

Canadian Gift To The Tower of London

(London Calling)

The Towel" of London has n new flagslaff - the gift of the Bay Scouts of British Columbia through the generosity of Mr. Prentice Bloedel, of Vancouver. So I went along to the Tower to report Ille ceremony of the installation of this new flagstuff.

I reached the famous old fortific- atlon on a devouring, summer moni- mg, with thermometers reglswrlnk more titian 90 degrees In the shade. The sun was intense — not o cloud In the sky - and the heat seemed to soak Into the earth as though it were concentrated through a gigantic magnifying glass. London was sweltering!

I walked past crowds of sight- seers In the Tower grounds, and climbed the QOO-year-old spiral staircase that leads to the roof o! the White Tower. the heart of the Tower of London. A regimental sergeant-major of the Guards stood checking credentials - as immobile as one of the suits of ancient. ur- mour tthaf decorated me dank walls.

As I stepped on the roof of the White Tower, I could see the group of distinguished guests assembled to \vit.rless the offlclrll handing over of this 82-foot. flagstaff, a goodwill token from the Boy Scouts of British Columbia to Constable of the Tower. Field-Marshal lard Wave-ll.

That great soldier. Lord Wavell. stood beside LhIs majestic shaft. made of Douglas fir, and next, to hIm was Mr. Norman Robertson. High Commissioner representing the Canadian Government. Along with them were Agent-General and Mrs. McAdam of British Columbia, Mrs. Douglas Roe, Dr. MrioKenzte and his party from the University of British Columbia, and many 0W9!‘ prominent Canadians.

Tlle tllstorlc battlementa of this old fortress, first. bullt. at. one end of the Roman Wall In the time of Wllllanl the Conqueror, were wastr- ed In blazing sunlight. Wardens of the Tower were perspirlng freely in their scurlet-ond-blaek. six- tcentIi-cenfury uniforms. forming a guard of honour on each side af the llagstaff.

Field-Marshal Lord Chetwode, former Constable of the Tower, ul- though he is almost. eighty years old. was present to open the cere- mony. In fact. It. ls Lord Chetwode wlio Is responsible for this gesture from Canada to Ihe TOWEI 0f London. -

When hard Chetwode was Cori- stable, he found the flagstaff on tIlr White ‘Power was deteriorating rapidly through dry rat. He asked for permission to buy timber for a ucw one. hut It vivas not possible. Lzizzk of dollars Io Import. timber only compllclled his problem.

As inc gJllllll. old soldicr moved In arm ' o of ilrc central group. Mr. Nor-mun Robertson. Caitadals High Conrrnlrmioirér In Britain, came forivrlrtl to speak. Mr. Robert.- son said he was honoured to share wiftr Asrcrii-Grurerul hlcAdaiu Lin: privilege of being present on such I memorable occasion. He reminded his listeners that. Llre Tower of London and its illustrious history form purl, of the historical tradition or‘ all Caliudlnrls, and he was happy that the Boy Scouts of British Col- umbia, through Mr. Prentice Bloe- del, made such B. warm gesture to those looking after the-Tower.

As. IVIJ‘. Robertson finished speak- Ing, Mr. McAdam run up a fresh Union Jack on the new flagslaff nlrlle the old flag was lowered on the other pole.

Then Lord Wavell, grey-haired and distinguished 1n his uniform of FIeld-nlarshall, stepped forward, as present. Constable of the Tower of Iiondon, to thank Mr. Robertson and Mr. McAdam on behalf of the Boy Scouts of British Columbia.

"By l-Ils Majesty's royal proclama- tion In 1763. reiulatlnl the dlvl- slon and boundaries of the different countries conquered from France In the preceding war, the Island was annexed to the Province of Nova Scotia; this circumstance has never been forgotten, nor has the subse- quent separation ever been forglven by a certain set of people In that Province, In consequence of which, I am sorry to say that the Island has been subjected to much obloquy and misrepresentation, the object of which appears to be to prevent. the settlement thereof as a separ- ate colony, that It may be again re- united to Nova Scotla, whereby the large unsettled grants would be brought. under the operation of their escheat lawl. and would speedily change hands; that.

Whether such a measure wlll be at- tempted wlthout. the consent of the Island. after its havlng for so many years enjoyed a complete constitu- Llon, remains to be seen; In the meantime. I will venture to say that hardly anything short of the conquest and subjugation of the colony by a foreign power could be more generally disagreeable to its inhabitants.

Sin-I cannot. refraln from ex- pressing my pleasure at. the elec- tIon of Mr. Truman as President of the United States, and I want to be counted as one who rejolces ex- ceedingly at the result. Mr. Tru- man had heavy odds aguillsl. lllm and the manner in which he over- came same ‘ls worthy of all praise. The pro-election claims of Mr. Dewey and his New York head- quarters, the Gallup Polls, the newspaper comment. and, lastly. the tremendous Stock Exchange bet- ting odds favoring the Republicans, were all elements to influence the electorate. Further the defections of Wallace and the Dlxiecrats were disturbing features, but from the start and throughout the campaign M1‘. Truman remained unmoved and told his followers he was con- fident of victory. He trusted the people and they dld not fail hlm.

I believe this Democratic victory ls a good omen for Cunucln. The Democrats have always been friend- ly with the Liberal party in Can- ada. They have for years got along fine with one another. and this happy stale of affairs should not be disturbed when It comes to Can- ada's turn Io have her general election. We are about to enter lnlo a new Defense Treaty with the States, and its approval wlll be asked for. Rt. Hon. Mr. St. Laurent can confidently trust the people as did Mr. Truman.

' Tlié rei-énfconventions In King's and Queen's Counties show unnrls- Iukubly the solidarity of the Liberal Party. They were magnificent gatherings and the delegates were enthusiastic over their choice of candidates. In King's Dr. Grant re- ceived a unanimous vote and in Queen's Mr. Douglas was given 420 out of 450 ballots cast. That is the greatest volc- that Mr. Douglas re- ceived at any convention and his colleague Mr. Miller was also given a splendid vote against a strong competitor. With Douglas and Mll- ler and a good organization In every poll the Llberals of Queen's can look with confidence to the fu- ture. I am. Slr. etc. J. F. W.
