Political Phenomenon

Speaking before the King's Co, (N-,5-lg Pmgressive Conservative As- S0Clatlon Executive, Revenue Minis- ter George Nowlan made a numbeit of observations relating to the can. ing session of Parliament and to the likelihood of another election "in due course and without. undue de. lay.”

According to Illr. Nowlan, a Fed. Pfal PI'0lzt'am is now being worked out which will reduce power costs in the Maritimcs; old age pensions will be increased; the Government will pay cash advances to Western grain groweis and will make a ”start" on tax reduction. These were the main pledges made by the Con- servatives in the election campaign; and, of course, it is not surprising to hear that legislation dealing with them will be introduced when Par- liament meets.

As for the next election, Mr. Nowlan is quoted as saying that "it isn't pleasant to have an adverse vote in Parliament, but this is ab" occasion when the Government would welcome one." It seems likely, there- fore, that the coming session will be treated to a political phenomenon: the Government hoping for defeat and the opposition parties doing their best to keep the Government in office for a while longer.

It is easy to understand why the Conservatives would like another election soon. No Government can be expected to function efficiently without an overall majority in the Commons; and, since there is little chance of their being able to hold on for the full term of four or five years, they cannot be blamed for wanting to settle the issue as soon as possible, that is to say as soon as certain election promises have been implemented. lrlow they pro- pose to arrange an early dissolu-

btion, however, is not so easy to. understand. Certainly, none of the parties in opposition is going to be foolish enough to combat the vari- ous items of legislation which Mr. Nowlan mentionedi Besides. they need time to organize their foices for another contest. Theoretically

perhaps the Prime Minister could I

ask the Governor-General for a dis- solution without being defeated on the floor of the llouse, on the ground that a new and stronllef mandate is necessary for the p?bper functioning of government. But that would scarcely be politically advan- tageous, and it would give the other parties soniclhing substiinlial to com- plain about.

In these circumstances, it would almost sccin as though the only way for the (ioxcrmncnt to to r cc an early clcvlion would be to back down on one or other of its commitments. lint that would not be politically wi-in either. to siiy nothing of the ethics of the cnsc.

And that may tall for a your or two---or even for the normal life (if Parliament. Who knows”

Mr. Bevan vs. Mr. Dulles

among those who are hoping that the British Labour Party will not come to power in the next election is United States Secretary of State Dulles. For if It does, Mr. Aneurln

it is icasonable to suppose that -

lode:-nllllt 31 believe: that the Unitnd States should hit! nil Ih technical and ooonomic nsbtnnoo podble to- the Soviet Union and Chilil. thus helping them to "edu- cate themselves in freedom." He thinks there can be no peace or aettlement of problems in the Middle East without Russian participation. He favours a total ban on arms to Arab countries and Israel.

Mr. Dulles is not going to relish any of these views. But perhaps the heaviest assault on his political judg- ments is Mr. Bevan's assertion that ”it is the Labour Party's duty to bring American news around to our way of thinking."

It will, or course, be some time before Mr. Bevan will be in a posi- tion to influence Britain's foreign policy. even if his party should hap- pen to win the next election, which is by no means certain. It is pos- sible. too. 'that once in office, re- sponsibility would temper his anger against American officials. We must hope that this will be the case. Things are difficult enough with Britain and the United States work- ing in reasonable harmony. Serious friction between them on basic problems would be disastrous.

Production Rules

To sell or not to sell is a question which often faces livestock produc- ers. Well, fifty Colorado farmers have worked out what seems to them a satisfactory formula, accord- ing to an article in the magazine "Successful Farming". In their opin- ion. moisture conditions on May 1 should be the criterion on which to base cattle production. First of all. farmers should determine whether conditions on that date (not the day before or the day after) are well below normal. below normal, nor- mal, above normal or well above normal. They should then act in accordance with the following rules:

Well below normal: Scll cull cows and 'bulls and 350-400 pound calves. Veal calves if necessary. Use reserve feed. Under long drought. possibly liquidate livestock. Below normal: Replace cull cows with hei- fers and sell 350-400 pound calves. Use reserve feed. Normal. Replace cull cows. Sell half of the 350-400 pound calves and increase weight of the remaininggcalves. Above nor- mal: Replace cull cows. Increase weight of feeding calves to 600-800 pounds. Build up rescues and make.- safe investments. Well above nor- mal: Replace cull cows and bulls Purchase more stock to use feed. Increase reserves, invbslnients and feed.supply. Store extra feed.

Perhaps our local cattle men will find merit in these suggestions-and perhaps they won't.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Soviet News Agency Tass has anounced that the Mont Tremb- lant conference achieved no "practi-

cal results." Fortunately, Tass doesn't know everything. O J I

The Hungarian Government has a new explanation for the mass exodus following Russian suppres- sion of the revolution. "Most of them.j' said a Government official the other day, "left because they feared that the counter-revolutiom aries would win and start a wave of Fascist atrocities."

One solution would he to cut down the number of dele- gates from each country. This would not interfere with the efficiency of the organiuition, since most of the delegates are never heard from. it it safe to say that not one Canadian in ten could name the several dele- gates from this country.
