Narrow Percentage Margin

An analysis of the voting in the recent PW‘ vincial general election has been made by the Canadian Press. 1t shows a drop of nearly 7,000 wtcs front the i939 total of 75,664. also shows that the Liberals, though winning two-thirds of the seats, polled only 51 1-2 per cent of the ballots. U11 a proportional repres- ctttatioit tut-is, this would entitle them to at 11105! sixteen scztts. The Llutservative total vote was‘ 4h per ceul of the whole,

The betterment in Newfoundlamfs position has been due to the growing importance of New- foundland as a naval and air base, This has nec-

have provided employment at relatively high wages. In addition, the fishing industry has pros- pered by the absence of Scandinavian competi- tion. Eventually, the older, fundamental troubles will return.

Cabinet ntinisters were warned that these were costing the Party dearly in lost supporters. (Whether or not they were beneficial to the war effort seems to have been a matter of secondary" consideration)

The Ministers, according to the same author- ity, were fi'attltly' told that the people had to be educated us to the necessity and the meaning of such small but aggravating strictures as those placed on the use of farm trucks and regulations which prevent purchase of a suit with two Pail‘ of pants but permit a man with the money to buy as many suits as he chooses.

They closely follow a bad defeat of the Ontario Provincial Liberal Party in a general election, the defeat of four Liberal candidates in widely separated by-elections, and the loss of a number of former Quebec supporters in the House.

The conference may result in fixing the date of the next federal general election, in which case there is likely to be a generous handout of fed- eral patronage and bonusing measures aimed particularly at placating Quebec and the Labour elements.

Horatio, Viscount Nelson, British Admiral, born this date i758; laid the foundation of the British Empire overseas; his last and greatest victory was at Trafalgar where he routed Nap- oleon’s fleet, but was himself shot through the lungs and spine from which he succumbed; his last words were: “Thank God, I have done my
