the National Liberal Federation, sci-called inner council which de- termines party policy. The council is at present holding s three-day meeting and some Liberals yester- day suggested that an election might take place within eight months or less.

f . s f

The Prime Minister called for a "dynamic, workman-like" organizat- ion to return the party to power. He said that within the two months he mentioned the party's organiza- ticn should be completed in every constituency, with suitable can- didates selected in every riding now lacking a Liberal standard- bearer and a poll captain chosen for every poll.

In every constituency, meetings and broadcasts should be arranged to amuse interest and enl-ist sup- Mr. Si. Laurent, the man who will decide timing of the election. told his followers:

"Now, in the not-toes!“ fut- utc we can expect a general elect- ion. . . “As leader of the party, I suggest that from now 0n we make a con- certed drive to perfect our organi- ration..."

Veteran political observers said Mr. St. Laurentfis big bid for s. two-months drive to perfect organ- ization did not indicate the possi- bility of a "snap" election since s candidate must have several months to become acquainted with the electors in his riding.

The commonly-held theory here is that the election will come either in the early summer or the early fall. Tho government's man- date expires about the middle of i950.

The current standing in the commons: Liberals 124; Progress- ive conservatives 67; C. C. F. f2; Social Credit l3; others eight; vacant one; total 245.

While Mr. St. Laurent was speak- ing to the Liberals. the Progress- ive Conservatlves were also plan- ning strategy at s. secret party caucus. George Drew, recently elected national leader. will lead the official Opposition for the first time in Parliament tomorrow.

Legislation Planned

In regard to legislation planned for the session, Solicitor General Jean has said he will introduce a bill abolishing all appeals.to the Privy Council and making the Supreme Court of Canada the highest tribunal of the land.

The Speech from the ‘Throne may forecast plans to equalize family allowance payment for all children regardless of the sine of the family.

It is also known that the gov- trnment has been considering the possibility of a compulsory old age pensions scheme, but there have been no recent indications that the legislation is ready for introduction at this session.

The Speech will refer to the conclusion of terms with New- foundland for the island's entry into confederation as a 10th pro- vince. Target date for union has been set for March 3i.
