The Frogicssive CCIIISCFVZIIIAWB party will play no pttrt iii the coming provincial elections iii (Quebec province. The party aiiitouitceil official- ly that: "The party Of _l0hii Bracken ltas broad- cast iit the province of Quebec now for the past nine months, and during this time has dealt only with Federal iitattcrs. lt is felt that especially at this time, with a provincial election in the off- ing. it would be a itiistztke to stray front this policyi." Both john Bracken, party leader, and party chairman .\lcTagtie declare definitely that the Progressive Conservative party will play no part, directly’ or indirectly, in the coming provin- cial election. in Prime .\linister Churchill's factual statement re robot raids before the British lloiise of Commons, halted the anxiety felt caused by Gcritian propaganda and rumors which thrive in periods of rigid censorship. His announce- ment that 8.000 people had been gravely injur- ed and over 2,000 killed in three weeks of the robot raids is serious but it is not as bad as the Germans would like us to believe 0r as people had begun t0 fear. The first blitz oit London began in earnest on September 7, 1940. In that month 6,954 people were killcd and 17,569 were in- jured. But the robot casualty list is still a menace and may bring London dcfeiicc iitcas- ures back to where they were in the blitz unless an effective preventive is discovered soon. i‘ ll‘ l‘ i Klaj-Gcn. jaities H.

well. But Alberta may be faithful to the relig- ion of Aberhartism, Manitoba may not be Soc- ialist zuid the Maritimes are not.

Nobody knows tvhere Quebec ivill land, btit it is generally agreed it won't be in the C.C.F. camp, and not likely in the Liberal fold. 50 it is possible to say, without venturing to predict, that the Bracken- ites may enter the next House of Commons stronger than now, and even with the largest
