Mr. Eisenhower. On 1118 other hand, has no personal foes. it can be said with fairly reason- able assurance that, if the Repub- lican Party is re-elected today. it will be almost solely a personal vic- tory for Mr. Eisenhower, since Re- publican policies appear, in general, to be held in disfavour. All of which suggests that in all likelihood the election will result in a Republican administration and a Democratic- controlled Congress. This would be out of the question under our elec- toral system, but it is common enough in the States, and Americans take it calmly. Indeed, public opinion i seems to favour it, all other things being equal, as insuring a checking balance between the White House and Capitol Hill. If some person other than Mr. Eisenhower were running on the Re- publican ticket, it would be tempting to suggest that recent international events would militate against a Re- publican victory; for there is no doubt whatever that American for- eign policy, or lack of policy, during the past four years, contributed largely to the present troubles. How- ever, it seems likely that the Presi- dent's popularity will triumph over this difficulty, too. Still, elections in the United States as elsewhere are tricky things, and it may be that by this time tomorrow there will be an entirely different story to tell. One thing there can be no dispute about: the new administration, whether it be headed by Mr. Eisenhower or by Mr. Stevenson, will face problems calling for great wisdom, infinite patience, extraordinary administra- tive ability and much energy of body and mind. Even in quiet times, let alone a time of international rough- ness. the Presidency, by virtue of its constitutional responsibilities, is an extremely burdensome office.

An Opportunity Misseci so far as his comments on the situation in the Middle East were coiii-crneri, Prime Minister St. Laur- enl's address to the nation on Sun- day was almost a carbon copy of Prcsideiit I-3iseiiliower's p r e v i 0 us hroadcasl. ”Though we recognize the vital importance of the (Suez) canal to the economic life and international respoiisihilitics of the United King- dom and France," Canada's govern- ment leader said, ”we could not but regret also that, at a time when the United Nations Security Council was seized of the matter, the United Kingdom and France felt it neces- sary to intervene with force on their own responsibility.” Mr. St. Laurent knew. of course, that no action could be taken in the Security Council without unanimous approval, and .that intervention with force must have come from Britain and France If it came at all. As spokesman for a country which piides itself on being "the interpreter," "the bridge," "the hinge," "the linchpin" and whatnot. between the two great English-speaie lng countries, he could well have cited this fact. President Eisenhower hadn't cited it, so evidently Mr. St. Laurent thought it would be im- polltic to do so. He could. indeed, have called at- tention to the fact that Britain's right to reoccupy the Suez base. .WNcll VII mauled by British -310!!! that tho uroanont of July, hm provided for . d

which stated that in the event of an armed attack by an outside power on Egypt, any member of the Arab League, or Turkey, Egypt would af- ford the United Kingdom all the facilities necessary to put the base on a war footing and operate it ef- fectively. No hint of this in the Canadian Prime Minister's speech.

Mr. St. Laurent could have re- called that prior to the creation of Israel there had been a Western policy in the Middle East, with Brit- ain aiid France quite openly pursuing it. With lsrae'l's appearance, how- ever, followed by other L'.S. incur- sions into the area, Britain and Fiance took a back seat. it was against their considered judgment that the State of Israel was brought into beingrlargely through United States influence in the United Na- tions. The Arab States, defeated in war, have since refused to acknow- ledge lsral-l's existeiice; hence there

was no solid basis for negotiation, still ll--s st-ttlcinent. of their quarrel with her. This is all an important

part of the complex picture in the

Middle East, and of the present

fighting in big) pt. it could well have

been ll'.l'lilllillt3(.i, or hinted at at least,

by Mr. St. Laurent when he under-

took to set forth Canada's views on

the matter.

To pzirapliiiase the Prime Min-

isters statement a ho ve quoted,

"though we recognize the vital im- portance" of other issues with which he dealt, we can only ”regret” that with the opportunity he had of ex- plaining to the American people. and to the world at large, the position which Britain has been forced into at this time, he failed altogether to do so, contenting himself merely with reechoing the sentiment at Washington. This may be good pol- itics, but it is not the kind of leader- ship we would expect from Canada's Prime Minister in this crisis.

EDITORIAL NOTES lllining is a hard and hazardous means of livelihood. it is only when disaster strikes that there is general recognition of the risks miners take daily in pursuing a work that is so important to industrial progress and to ordinary day by day community living. C I I Canada may be keeping to a "hands-off” policy with respect to the Middle East crisis; but the be- ginning of the British-French inter-

vention had at least an indirect Can- adian touch to it. Wing Commander Burnett, a native of New Brunswick, led the first attack on Egyptian bases, while li.M.S. ”Newfoundland" initizited the first naval engagement. 0 I I

It is impossible not to admire the unequivocal manner in which the Australians and New Zealanders expressed their confidence in the United Kingdom in the General As- sembly of the 1.'iiit.ed Nations.

Too much should not be made of the public demonstrations against the iidcn (.i0V'Cl'llfllCllL in London. Some of the clamour, undoubtedly, was spoiitaiieous, but there is every indication that most of it w as stirred up by Labour Party fire-brands whose chief desire is to embarras the government at a time of national emergency.

The good news from Springhill will uplift the spirits of thousands of people far from the scene of the disaster. For the relatives of those who died there will be Canadian- wide sympathy. One way to trans- late that sympathy into practical terms is by subscribing to the Disas- ter Relief Fund. There is no doubt that the fund will be supported

generously. I O U

Mr. George Nowland. Conserva- tive M.P. for Digby-Annapolis-Kings, is quoted as saying "it is highly de- sirable that there should be a Mari- time candidate for Conseivatlve Party leadership in View of the part Maritime leaders have played in the political life of this country in the post." No one will find fault with that sentiment. More important, however, is that in choosing a leader Conservatives should concentrate on selecting a future Prime Minister of Canada and not merely a leader of the opposition. The qualifications for the two posts are not necessarily identical, regardless of any regional eunddeution.

u. s. Electoral College i

By llealh Mat-quarrio

Caiitlians are slillil'lllllPS confus- ed about the purpose and func- tion nf the ililL'l1IliI'H1 college. that interesting and ancient part of the American coiisiiiiuiion which de- termines the choice of president of the union. Doublless man) A- mericans too are occasionaly baf- fled as to the workings of this body, which in many seems sup- erfluous.

Allhouizh llie L'nitrd Slates is now regarded as one of the great political democracies in the world, the Electoral College revealed the mistrust of the popular will which many of its founding fatliers en- tertained. When the constitution was being liammcretl out in I787 the statesman of the period with a successfiil revolution behind

them sought some safegiiards a- .

gainst the C)lt'PS'sl'S of the popular ,Vl'lii. One of these was in the de- vice adopted for clioosinit the na- tion's chief executive officer. in- stead of having the people vote, directly for a president it was thought best to remove the process I stage or two from the expres- sion of popular opinion lly this indirect process each state was to choose I group of able men who would meet in the slate capi- tal and in calm dclihcraiion select the best man for the job A state was entitled to as iiianv electors as it has members in the Congress and in Ilie early (tins Ilicse elec- tors were appointed by the state legislature. CHANGES IN SYSTEM

in the Republic's inlaiicy these appointed electors had no difficul- ty in concluding that the licrioc George Washington sliould be giv- en lhe nation's highest office. but in later years the system went through some great clianges both in lcllcr and in spirit. The Fiiiiiul- ing Fathers". or nuinv of lh!'Ill. (le- plorcd party politics. but by the time of Jeflersoii s presideiicy strong parties had become well established as I! iilal part of the whole political and gnvernnieiital process. Originally the Constitu- tion provided that the man who re- ceived the second largest number of electoral cnllegc voles through- out thr nation would become vice- prcsidcni. With two party leaders balt'ing for the liighr--t office such a svstcm was unworkable since a president would thus become as- sociated with his chief THH1 in the executive department. it therefore becniiie necessary to provide for

separate ballots for the vice pres- , ident and this provision was made i in Amendment Twelve.

With the rise of parties, direct election of the electors became the order of the day and instead of the presidential office being removed , from the arena of party politics , it became the great prize of party ; welfare, the most coveted of all 1 political offices.

AN ANACHRONISM

Today the Electoral College is ten piece of the constitution and the president is to all intents and almost an anachronism. a forgot- purposes elected directly by the people of the nation. In some states the names of the electors do not even appear on the ballot and many voters would be nor . ly taxed if they were asked to - name the electors from their state. I

The meeting of the electors in . the state capital and the return - of the vote to Washington are but more formalities for everyone knows on election night how a slate will throw its electoral college vote. If the Republicans carry it a slate of Republican electors will go through the motions of giving the state's support for Eisenhow- er. if the Democrats win their slate of electors will go to the state capital and endorse Steven- y son. But this is after the election j is over and the performance is a 1 routine one. ignored or overlook- ed by the populace.

Since the presidency is won by the person who gets a majority of the 532 Electoral College votes, it is possible for a man to be in- stalled in the White House with- out a majority of the popular vote and indeed this has happened on two occasion.-i. The present law provides that the winner of the popular vote within a slate re- ceives all that state's electoral college vote The proposed Lodge Cost-ll constitutional amendment a few years ago would have pro- vided for a pro rata distribution of the votes from a state. but this reform was not acceptable. In any case the present indications are that the 1956 election will see that the winner of the Electoral Col- lege vote with a comfortable lead in the pnnular count as well and , thal is the usual pattern. it is therefore likely that the old sys- tem will continue for many years in come. an antique mechanism expirically fashioned to modern needs.

ASobering Aflerlhoughts

By George Kllcllco, (ianaillan Press Staff. Washington

Slowly. and with sobering after- thought, the 1 niit-d Slates is soften- ing its attitude on the A ngln- Frcnrh intervention in the embat- llcd Middle East

The I” no outright ap- proval. but official and unofficial Washington is beginning to look in a new light on the British- Frcnrh decision to step into the Middle East crisis to safeguard th Si::z ('anal and keep the fight- ing Israelis and Egyptian: beyond rifle-shot length

The best indication of this In in the two lntesl US lliddlr East resnliitiono adopted by the ("mini Nations. one rallinn for Ii IN commission to recommend scllle- ment nf the Arab-lsrneli dispute and the other prnposinl II similar body to reopen the Suez on an in- ternationol waterway.

They embody a recognition of the root causes of the Middle East crisis that was nhscnt from the earlier U.S. resolution seeking a ceasefire and gradual withdrawal of invading forces.

SHOCK. 'l'lll-SN ANGER

Six days ago. when the news of the AngloFrench iiltimntiim hit 'v'v'uhlngton, there was first shock. dismay and then anger. For a time. it was almost unpopular to be classed as a citizen of tile Brit- ish Cnmmonw ealtli.

There were recriminalinns and deep anger on the part of the state department and the White House. principally at the British loodoro becouso they. fellow An- glo-Soxons. had dared to take such o step without informing and

consulting Woshlogton.

There was talk of a collapse of 8 (no! alliance Ietwoeo the

three big Western powers, and President Eisenhower himself re- affirmed his intention to go to the defence of any Middle East na- tion whose frontiers were violated.

That was Tuesday night. Within 24 hours, Washington began to re- treat. Eisenhower went on the air and promised the American.peo- pic. on the verge of the presiden- tial election, that there would be no US military "involvement" in llie present hostilities.

He was critical of the two West- ern allies but expressed sympathy with their "anxieties" over "grave and r e p e ate rl provocation: " l'-Zizyrit. he said. had ”agizrovoted" the Middle East situation. 1

Newspaper editorials and col- ymnists began to lay increasing blame for the Middle East crisis on the vaclllatlons of American foreuzn policy and the failure of State Secretary Dulles to support Britain and France-and the is- roells - in their troubles with Egypt's President Nasser.

OLD HAND CIIITICAI.

One such criticism came from George F. Kennon. o key figure in the state department through much of the posit-war period, who bitterly attacked the Eisenhower administration for demanding that the British. French ood Israeli lenders call off their war ogolnd IIYM.

HIP JOINT AFFLICTION COMMON IN YOUNGSTERS Few of you probpbly have ever

luard of iIIl.lIiClll. synovitis. Yet. this condition is one of the most. common hip joint afflictions among children between the ages of 3 and 10.

Sometimes it's called transitory arthritis, coxitis or observation hip; but they are all the same thing.

Boys seem to fall victim to this disease more readily than do girls. In either case. recovery seldom takes longer than two weeks.

Factors in development of tran- sient synovitis may be on injury, allergy or upper respiratory in- fection. Generally, the ailment begins abruptly with a pain in the hip, knee or thigh. The suffering youngster will begin limping too.

There are no broken bones and 1

usually no bony changes of any kind are uuticable.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO November 6. 1931

Bearing a message of optimism in the prospect of improved condi- tions ln the West, the Most Rev. J. C. McGuigan. D D-, Archbishop of Regina, Metropolitan of Sask- atchewan. arrived in Charlotte- tnwn Tuesday evening on a short visit. Archbishop McGuigan noted that the world-wide depression has reacted with less effect on P.E.l. and the illarillmes generally than on many parts of the continent.

According to information com- piled by the Island Division of the C ”' National Railways. 204 cars over and above the total of last year's tourist months. June to October. crossed from Tormen- tine to Borden during the past summer. This represents an in- crease of five percent, in ivory sat- isfactory one considering the econ- omic depression. Most of the cars were from the Haritlmes, with Massarhiisetts and Ontario follow- ing in the order named.

TEN YEARS AGO November 6. 1946

The piuurlousness of the pres- ent service between Borden and Tnrmentine was acutely experienc- ed by more than one hundred peo- ple left stranded last Friday eve- ning at the Cape Tnrmentlne pier as a result of a breakdown of the car f-2rry's cnizlne mechanism. The breakdown in the cold air fan sys- -tem occurred on the late afternoon run while the ship was somewhere between Borden and Tormentine.
