This report was forwarded by Hon. Mr. Howe, Minister of Transport, to the camPbel-l Government as a final judgment in the matter. Our Liberal representatives tzitttely accepted if; and despite all the ballyhoo that ltas appeared in the Liberal press from that time to this, it renzaivis the official altitude of the King Gov- erimtcnt toward: there projects. ~, It is not the attitude, ltowever, of Hon. john Bracken and the Progressive Conservative Party. Mr. Bracken has stated that he re- gards these bridges as an intrinsic part of our national highway system, and his Government will assume the cost of building them. It is not a question of expense, as the King GOV- ernment report ntaintaitts, but of a solemn obligation on the part of the Dominion towards this Province in the matter of a vital transporta- tion need.

A Trick That Failed

commenting on the Otttario election, a French language paper, Le Drojt, (Ottawa) notes that while in ittost of the 90 ridings the fight was a three-cornered cne——bet\vecn the Progressive-Conservatives, the Liberals and the C.C.F.——the Conservative Party alone ran catt- didates in all ridings, with Liberals putting 76 candidates in the field and the C.C.F. S9.

One special aspect of the nominations, ‘says Ls Droit, was the joint effort which the Liberal Party and the C. C. F. made to defeat Premier Drew and his Ministers. The Premier had only one opponent; he was a Socialist. \Vith the idea. of avoiding a division of votes, the Liberal Party did not run a. candidate against him. Minister of lrlighways Doucett had also no Liberal opponent and a Socialist was lined up against him. kliitistci‘ of Forests Tltoinp- son had otil_v one opponent, a Liberal, the C.C.F. having decided to keep out of the riding where the Minister was rttititiitg. so that he might the more surely he (lcfeztlctl.

quite within the power of the Government and the House to provide an opportunity of de- bating them, and he urged that this be done.

Here, surely, was something to which our Island Liberal members could subscribe. But, they contented themselves, as usual, with say- ing nothing. Nor did Mr. King add anything to what he had previously said. The House went on to discuss other matters, and a golden opportunity of bringing our Island transporta- tion grievances to s. head was lost through sheer Liberal carelessness and indifference.

Strenuous endeavours are being made by Liberal propagandists to minimize the signifi- cance of the Progressive Cotiservative Provin- cial victories in Cardigan and Ontario, and who can blame them? These have been a hard blow on the eve of the Federal election. i 1F i

Mr. I. H. Harris, M.P., who spoke in the city last evening, has already addressed over 40 meetings in Ontario, though not yet one in his own constituency of Danforth, Toronto, which he has represented since I921, having been re- elected four titties. He organized Toronto East General Hospital, of which he is chairman of Directors.

U I U I “I never interfere ivith provincial politics," Prime Minister King told a reporter Wll€n asked for continent on theresult of the Ontario elec- tion. This does not square with a previous de- claration of his as Prime Minister: “I would not give a cent to a provincial Tory govern- ment." Unfortunately he has not been giving a cent to the local Liberal Government either. perhaps because it.i's ‘unpkrthodox.

Canadian Press evidently got somewhat bal- led up at the result of the Progressive Conserva- tive victory in Ontario, and sent out two bul- letins (l) to the effect that “the total armed services vote in the United Kingdom ivas esti- ntated at 30,000”, and (2) that “the total elig- ible service vote rims more titan 252,000 and if 150.000 service men cast ballots May 3o to June 4 the average would be 1,666 for each consti- tuency." If the latter be correct, the Liberal and C. C. F. representation will be almost wholly wiped out.
