Astrology is not the important study it used to be. 533'. in the Middle Ages when hardly any ven- ture was undei'l.akcn by prince or peasant without the advice and ad- monition of an -.isii'ol0l;8lV All the same, it is by no means an obsolete thing, The”. am indeed. a great many practitionm-s of the ”science" ---that being the imwl used by I-I19 astrologers lhcnisclvcs - On this continent; and 400 of them met in annual convention in New York (Tity a few days ago.

vened at any time. morning. after- noon. or evening, without risking untoward difficulties. Not this one. however. A special committee had worked for months before agreeing on 8.41 a.m. as the propltiorus start- ing point. If it had been a miniil.e before or later. the stars in their courses would have fought against the -100. As it was, things went. along smoothly and according to plan.

They complaincd especially about the scant consideration given them by radio and TV stations and about the sceptical manner in which their long range weather forecasts are received by the public. The fact that meteorological predictions do not fare much better did not seem to console them at all; at least no men- tion is made of it in the proceedings.

On the bright. side.l the belief was expressed that astrology may yet play an important part in pro- moting pcace among the nalio1s. As to that. they may as well be given the opportunity to show what they can do. They could hardly do much worse than the many other agencies which have tackled the problem.

Three in A Row

By Heath Mat-quanit

The three provincial izi-ii-ral l elections recently held have one . thing in common the party in power has been returned to office In all three. In Quebec and New Brunswick the government improv- ed its position slightly while in Saskatchewan the party on the Speaker's right lost a few seals. Premiers Duplessls and 'I)ou2.las have received ii renewal of the confidence which has been tend- ered them at every election slncc 1944. IM. Duplessis first .ec.ime premier in 1936 but was defeated in 1989 and remained in opposi- tion for five yenrs.l Mr Flem- ming has been in office only four years.

It would seem that (fanadlaiis are getting into the habit of voting in favor of the government of the day In Ottawa the Liberal party has been winning steadily since 1935. Nova Scotla has heen sup- porting Llhcral governments since 1933. Prince Edward Island since 1935 and Manitoba since the. Pro zresslves hccamc more Liberal then Proizresslve. Alberta has been

That. second phase has taken I long time to complete. Egyptian sovereignty. proclaimed in princi- tile in 1922. became absolute in 1936. when the last vestiges of British control disappeared. Now the last British troops have left last base an Egyptian soil.

Egyptians feel that the time was foo long. that Britain was too slow in carrying out the policy to which she had. in principle. committed herself. But. looking back over the long series of fl('fZ(lIIElLlflnS since the MacDonald-Zacliil meeting of 1924. one sees. I think. that many of the dlfficultieii were real. There were blunders and follies on both sides. and. on lhr milltai-y side. ltlcre was the tremendous compli- cation of the scvoiid world war.

AN OLD MAXIM

Is it that good times favor the party in power and that voters take no real Interest In politics cxccpt in so far as It affects their own pocket books? Such an ex- planation Is often heard and cart- ainly the party In power strives to impress the public with the Idea that Its politics are directly rea- ponslble for such prosperity II is being enjoyed. We have long been taught to prolong the life of the goose that lays the golden egg and the application of the old max- lm is often urized by politicians who are not disinterested In the preservation of the status quo.

But while it would be a mistake to overlook the great importance of economic considerations in pol- llics. there is always the danger oI making too much of them. Since the Liberals swept to power both provinclally and federally Iftcr the great depression of the thirties there have been many changes on the provincial scene. It was not hard times which put the Liberals out of office in Ontario thirteen years ago. and. while farmer dis- content played I part In the CCF victory In Saskatchewan. In 1944. limes were certainly far better than they had been during the rrecedlng decade. Mr. Flemmi'ng's defeat of the long-established Lib- eral regime in 1952 is I strlklng indication that governments don't. always win elections In times of prosperity.

OTHER FACTORS

Other factors must. be consider- ed and leadership In one of the most important. The Conservative success In New Brunswick In 1951 was in large measure I tribute to the ability and sti-Itgy of the party's leader and certainly the powerful personality of 'l'.C. Doug- las was I mnjor factor In the CCF capture of Snkatchewun In 1044. In Nova Scotln the great and col- orful leader of the Liberals is no longer on the scene while the Con- servative pIrty is fortunate In having I competuit. able and en- ergetic chieftaln who is likely to lead his group to victory. The Manitoba Conservntlves have If their hand one of the ables! men in Canadian public life and their chances of Iucccsl have recent- l,v Idvanced sharply.

Thus. Ilthough the voters may appear to be habit-bound or con- cerned only with their own prol- perlty. this Is not Ilways the case. Governments do chInge. Ible lend- ership and efficient orunlzatlon are Important on election day Ind the public can be Irouscd to pol- ltleal Ictfon. If this Is doubted one need only look It the line up of provinces where five different pol- Illcal parties In winning the smile: of their electors. That there In dangers In such I splin- terlng of poIltlcIl strength cInnot be denied but It lent It does In- dlcItI that we IVOMIIII I com- plete surrender I dull Ind dIn- gerous conformity.
