Moi-tally afraid of going to the electorate on their record at the end of their legal term. P"- mier Campbell, rm behalf of the Govflnmml has been investigating how long, legitimately or by subterfuge, he could possibly hold on before dissolving the legislature, and reports that ac- cording to his figuring, the present Misfits could carry on till m1d--‘\“g“$l 1941i a" fm‘ nouncement, we are told, which was received with loud applziiise from the Goverrlmerif bQches. This announcement, of course, miist have reference to an alleged heated discussion in caucus when, we have‘ reason to believe, members of the rank-aiid-file ‘told the Premier and his colleagues, who are enjoying to the full the emoluments of office, that public 0pini0n against them was so roused and outraged, that if they went to the country they would not only be defeated and routed, but the Liberal Party irretrievably disgraced as well. _ _ _

The Premier's strategy evidently is to antici- pate this by enjoying the fiiiits of office _as long ae possible, by taking an extension of his lease until the ordinary revenue and borrowing of the Province have been fully exhausted, leaving not only the usual empty Liberal Treasury, but a depreciated Provincial credit as well, _

The Premier had better change his tactics forthwith, for he must know he is playing with fire. The electors will not tolerate the abuse of the election act to doprive them of their con- trol over the legislature, merely to give the pre- sent occupants an opportunity to hand us over ermpled and disabled, to the tender mercies of a Maritime Union.

This seemingly. is what Premier Campbell's elaborate inveotigation portends.

That principle guided British statesmen in the days of the Bourbons and the French Em- pire, ind will guide them again if the necessity should arise, as is now specifically indicated by Mr. Chamberlain's “hands-off” declaration Meanwhile, the world breathes more freely at the renewed prospect of undisturbed European peace for a further period, perhaps for years.

Mr. Stewart's Protests

"It will therefore be the first ‘policy of the Liberal party, if returned to office,‘ to make such reduction in expenditure, particularly on ordinary account, as will bring abput a balanced budget, and will restore a condition 0f Sound financing and confidence.” i

These were the words of Premier Campbell in his presentation of the Liberal manifesto previous to the election of i935. Tliey were re- called to his notice in the Legislature this week by one of his own supporters, Mr, W. F. Alan Stewart, First District of Queens.

“Some members of this Legislature,”_added Mr. Stewart drily, “appear to be subject t0 lapses of memory. Some have forgotten "that

It is at least a strange coincidence that the most outspoken Liberal critic mould have most reason to complain of his district being neg- lected. Patronage is-the whip which the Camp- bell Government holds over the heads of its party followers, and when they refuse to jump through the hoopthe whip cracks ominously. Mr. Stewart's protests are in refreshing eon- trast to the spineless attitude shown by nmi-iy of his legislative colleagues. '

Worthless Pledges

Every Provincial Government now in office, notes the Sydney Post-Record, won its electoral mandate on promises to reduce administration cogts, and everyone of them, without a single exception has spent far more money per year than its predecessors, and has added enormously to the public debt.

“What, it may well be asked in the circum- stances," concludes our Sydney contemporary, “are the pledges worth of ‘a politician who goes before the people and appeals for their electoral support? Where is this orgy of spending to end? How long can these exactioris be increased on the scale of the last half dozen years, before the point is reached when the taxpayer will per- force cease to supply our official spenders with imposts which alreadyiabsorb nearly a third of the income of the average citizen. Considering the record, is there a Government in office jn Canada at the present time that deserves to be kept there‘? Every Provincial budget in a re- cord of extravagance and incompetence.”

Fnich time, the dog obeyed. Later Zoe was the “guest of honor" at a novel luncheon in the city.
