MAY 21, 1955 The British Election The final results in the British election were not available last night, but it was evident that the Government has been returned with I large majority, estimated VIWIOUBIY It between 60 and 100. The cam. I paign was remarkably mild exceptgfor 3. last minute srpurt, which promised Labour gains but left the Conservatives surging .Ihead. No one contributed more to the quiet atmosphere of the campaign than Sir An. t-hony Eden, who was returned in his own constituency with an increased major- ity 339'? lsking for a personal mandate as Prime Minister upon succeeding Sir Win- ston Churchill. As the London Spectator noted in I pre-election article, too many people, In criticising Sir Anthony as a popular leader, failed to realize that his value It the moment was precisely that he deflated every issue he spoke about. The constant appeal in his speeches for "large ,y .. doses of patience and perseverence" could '1. not have been better calculated to capture ' the prevailing mood of the country. Under the Conservatives, in Sir An- thony's words, Britain has been "selling more, earning more, buying more, saving Jnos-I, exporting more and eating more than it has at any time bl the history of the country.” It is hard for an Opposition to stampede voters under such conditions, and Labor mokeanen themselves had to Itinit that "Eden has been lucky”. They charged that the cost of living is at its highest. and hasnlt been matched by wage increases. One of the four points of their program for checking the rise in living , 1 costs was by relmposing price controls. ' ; Nor had the Laborltee much to offer by way of improvement on the Govern- ment's foreign policy. In broad outline their platforms were much the same. In only one plank did Labor strike I distinc- tive note on world affairs. This was the pledge to seek agreement to halt tests of hydrogen bombs. The Govemment took the more realistic view that until there is some would not be advisable to urge this meas- 1 In. On the Formosa questions also the rival programs showed some difference. more apparent than real. At this distance, the election seems to have taken the course which most com- mentators predicted at the start. There was no great fear that under Mr. Attlee the return of I Labor administration would involve any radical changes, but on the other hand there was no reason for hhrowing out I government which has raised Britain's prestige abroad, and brought stability and I reasonable meas- ure of prosperity at home. Disturbing News It has been assumed all along that. al- though the Soviet Union and its allies could put numerically stronger forces into the field than the Western powers, in the event of war, this advantage would be more than offset by the prepondcl-ant war-making po- tential of the West. In air power especial- believed that the United States was far ahead of the Communist powers. Indeed, only I few months ago Secretary of Do- fence Wilson made the statement that "Russia's air force is mainly defensive." In the last few days, however. this easy complacency has been disturbed by rev- elation: from various sources. The first hiding that III is not well came from the magazine "Aviation Weekly" which is con- Iiderod to be an authority in its field. it reported that Russian air advances have shocked "even the top level and the most j knowledgeable military aviation leaders." f It added that "some high civilian officials I seem to have been practising I deliberate deception of the people." This was fol- lowed by I statement on the matter by Senator Stuart Symington who served as Secreary for Air in the Truman cabinet. He said: "Evidence continues to pile up that Communist air power is moving up to us In offensive striking power and ahead of us in the fields of defensive POWER DVD- ductlon and technology.” President Eisen- hower, obviously messy over the news Ind rumours. commented that "it is not true that the Untied States has lost its ' and excel- of world disarmament, it, ly, including nuclear weapons, it has been, question: Senate Reform Senator D.ller's bill which, if adopted, would make it mandatory for the Govern- ment to fill vacancies in the Upper House within six months of their occurrence looks like an honest attempt to bring much needed reform. Mr. Euler is quite right in saying that as things are now the Senate is being destroyed by a slow policy It is doubtful, however, that Thus far of attrition. much will come of the proposal. in the debate I dozen or so Senators have supported the bill with more or less en- thusiasm; but the indications are that most of the others don't care very much one And even if the bill should get through the Upper House it is almost certain to be side-tracked or re- jected outright by the Government's par- This, at all events, would be the natural thing to expect; for if the Government had wanted to do any- thing about Senato reform It would have done so long before this; and it isn't like- mmond Canada except Quebec.

"How does the strengh of the United States and of the West generally compare with that of the Communists?" Since Soviet propaganda shifted from threats to peace talk there has been some agitation in the United States, and in this country, too, for a gradual lessening of defence burdens. This would be a most dangerous step to take, the world situation being what it is, even if it were establish- ed beyond doubt that the West has, in fact, retained superiority in actual and potential war material; if the recent estimates of Soviet power are only approximately cor- rect. it would be an act of extreme and disastrous folly; one does not have to be a military expert to see that. as Senator Symington suggests, there is no point in soft-cushioning any report of Soviet advances in any field. Certainly. about Highway Saf There were 320 fewer traffic deaths in Canada last year than In 1953., A Canadian Press- survey shows 2.586 persons were killed. compared with 2,906 in 1953.

This suggestion was received with general satisfaction in all sections of the country. If it had been carried out it would have strengthened the Senate greatly and gone a long way to- wards persuading the many doubters that lthe institution has a worthwhile contribu- ,tion to make to the nation's business. For some reason or other. nothing has been heard of the proposal since; evidently, it was overcome by the old-fashioned belief that Senate vacancies should be reserved for deserving friends of the ruling party. "1 Since there are so many of these at large, 'it must be very difficult indeed for the Prime Minister to make I appointments. One thing seems certain: unless some- thing is done to take the Senate out of the sad state it is in at the moment, there will be increasing public demand for its aband- onment as an expensive and unprofitable appendage to our political system. That. we believe, would be a pity: for a sober, icompetent second-look is just as necessary to parliamentary affairs as to any other Perhaps Senator Euler's bill will call official attention to the need for really Lconsiruclive action-and perhaps not.

The points system already is in effect in greater Winnipeg and at least 12 American states. Nova Scotia, which reported 157 deaths compared with 124 in 1953, also is considering the points sys- tem. Re-examlnation of all drivers is proposed at I later date. The legislature has made die three-phased system of arm signal- ling compulsory. Prince Edward Island, with 3 deaths against 13 In 1953 and New- foundland with 23 against 29, have stepped up their safety campaigns. In Newfoundland the names of all persons whose licences have been suspended are published in the daily newspapers. The govern- ment also has stepped up its road improvement program with empha- sis on eliminating dangerous curves and widening narrow roads. Vlw CRUSADE The Kings come riding back from the Crusade.
