Well, It’s Over!

- Prince Edward Island led the way yesterday with a clean sweep for the four Conservative candidates, Messrs. McLean, Macquarrie. McQuaid and Macdonald, in the federal general election. time of writing indicate wider Con- servative gains across the country than were anticipated either by the Gallup pollsters or by many top-rank- ing commentators—most of whom were predicting that the Liberals would get the overall majority in the

. government—the fourth since 1957. In which case, by not subscribing to the Liberal threat that the alterna- tive to a whopping majority would be another period of political confusion. resulting in another election within , a year or so, the Conservatives can claim to have shown a greater sense of responsibility to the electorate.

Minority governments are not de-

sirable. but they have functioned successfully in Europe and else- Where; and there was no reason why the last one could not have carried on in Canada without the fresh man- | date which Mr. Pearson insisted upon at this time. Even if a majority re- sulted, it would still leave unanswer-

--ed the: question of what the majority. was intended to accomplish. Mr. Pearson vied with his opponents in promising a lot of giveaways during the campaign, but he-.defined no. broad national policies that could not have been carried out under the last Parliament.

He did, it is true. talk at length ~ about needing a strong hand to deal—

with the provinces. But he also told

according to the Financial Times of | Canada, it is the most pressing prob- lem facing our economy today. The delicate balance between adequate economic growth and unhealthy in- flationary pressures is reaching a critical point.

The worrying thing, according to | this financial paper, is that the mone- tary restraint suitable for a some- what overheated economy is not achieving its proper purpose. The banks are squeezed hard. The bond market is so starved of funds that it is almost inactive. But this is a quite undiscriminating squeeze; it hits pro- ductive enterprise equally with neces- sary social capital and unnecessary luxury building. It affects regions in need of development equally with

There are regional differences which also seem to defy any correc- tives based on present policies. Con-

provinces, for example, have been 22 per cent below last year. In Quebec and Ontario they were up about the same amount, while in British Co- lumbia they were more than double.

China and the West? Some-clues to | important. question may be forthcoming as a result of the visit | to Moscow, late this month, of Brit- | ish Foreign Secretary Michael Stew- art. The visit comes at a time when | Moscow is showing signs of busy |

diplomatic activity, sparked by in- | creasingly bitter rivalry with Com- munist China. It is believed to be preparing the way for a meeting of most of the world’s Communist part- ies next March, at which a vigorous

effort will be made to reassert Soviet

claims to leadership.

The result, it is felt in England, could be an irrevocable split of the Communist movement, with the two big powers claiming power more | stridently than ever. _Hardly_any- one expects that Peking will let Mos- cow’s claim to leadership go unchal- lenged. but the latter appears to have gained: new influence in North Viet Nam.and North. Korea lately,.and the Eastern European countries have shown their resentment against

Moscow's official organ. Pravda, has argued that the best way to ad- vance the world Communist cause is for the socialist countries to build

living standards. It says these coun- tries should not seek to oust or re-
