for believing that, as a sepaate group in parliament, they would be less corrupt and more efficient than any other group of politicians? The revelation of our political history is that no group and no class, or occu- pation possesses a monopoly of in- corruptibility and efficiency.

That there are serious faults in our system oi government is frank-

tics in this and other countries shows that honesty. and integrity and administrative ability. are not confined to any class. In whatever we have failed the plain truth ls that “we all like sheep, have gone astray," not because of our political isystcm but because of our human cussedness and our selfishness. We are seeking our own interests, not the interests of the state.

We must look farther and deeper for the causes of our frequent polit- fcal straylngs. Those causes are not inherent in the party system, nor has democracy failed. It has made mistakes and one of the mistakes is our indiscriminate method oi select- ing our representatives. Too often they are selected, not for any special qualification in administrative cap-

Too often they are selected and elected because of special attributes, among themthe ability to bpendr .their own money freely. to secure booms, such as branch railways, eld-‘l vstors, etc, for his own constituency,

It has happened more than once that a car-load of potatoes has been offered for shipment which had to be rejected by the inspectors. The shipper lost by the rejection, but

saved.

What is true of the potato indus- try is equally true of ‘all our agri- cultural intercsts. Time was when o. tub of butter could be loaded with
