"Cerebral Heat Wave" All press correspondents at Ottawa are agreed that the sudden dissolution of Parliament on 'I‘hurstlzl_v was as great a surprise to the Liberal .\l.l’.'s its to llllY other members of either House. It was yiroliably allutist as great a surprise to .\lr. Kill}; hiuisclf. who is believed to have dc- creetl it tut the spur of the moment, while in the throttle-grip of :1 cerebral heat wave. The Ottawa journal's Parliauleulttry reporter ivrttes: "Opt own hunch. and there's just a nip of in- foruuttioii lit lllWlv it up, is that .\lr. King pulled this stunt pretty much by l1iulself_ And he pulled it betiveelt lltilll] of Thursday’ and 7 p. m." 'lhe Ultaita journalist titore than hints that 111t- prnspect of a rctl-litit session had frdyed the l‘retniet"s l!t'l'\L‘>. and he decided at tlle last lnoltieiit to pustptitte the show indefinitely. Hav- ing so decided. hut not being possessed of any valid rctisou to _itt~tii_v his action, he hastily dress- ctl hlitcltcll lleplitirti up into as ticar an imitation . of an issue a- the tixigcttcitts of the case permit- ted. This lttllhs lll\t‘ a far-fetched excuse for an elevcttth-hotir, emergency decision to dissolve Parliament, “httt," writes the Ottawa reporter, “if lhirliaiueut was to meet for several weeks, the Cotiservativcs could create other issues, could ask for documents and correspondence per- tainiug to ivar contracts, to the Ian Mackenzie lllZlCl\'tIlll, to ‘dollar-zl-year-iuen’, atid so on. Maybe soinc of those things wouldn't have been too healthy for the Liberal party to discuss on the hac streets-at tiny rate not so healthy as blitclfs meat-axe tactics. So Mr. King decided (tuay be) to close up Parliament and fight the election witlt the facts of the past in his o\vn possession." Potato Crop Estimates According to figures compiled by the Do- mitiioil llurcxttt of Statistics at Ottawa the esti- uiatcd value of the Prince Edward Island 1939 potato crop is $3,596.000. the New Brunswick crop $5,_~',i13.ocx> and the Nova Scotia crop $2,- 358,000. The Quchcc crop is valued at $11,681,- 000 11nd the (hltario crop at $8,189,000. The estimate for the three Maritime Provinces is considerably larger than the I938 value. The acreage planted in New Brunswick was about the same iu both years, hilt the yield was greater lll I039. Both Prince lfdtvard Island and Nova Scotia showed slight increases last year in planting and in production. In all Canada there was planted in 1039. 517.700 acres, which on an average tiroditcetl 7o httndredweight per acre with a total valuation of $39,040,000 at an aver- age prigc of $1.07 per httndreduteight. They Can't Be Neutral Religious leaders in the neighboring republic are giving profound thought t0 the ethical is- sues raised by the war and are finding it more and more difficult to reconcile neutrality with Christian ideals. In a joint statement recently issued, thirrv-fhree prominent Protestant clergy and lavnieu have declared their conviction that United’ States churches are "under obligation to lead their nation to assume a responsible rela- tionship" to the conflicts in Europe and China. Their statement continues: “To stigge-t that nothing of consequence is at stake in thc sitcctrss of Japanese, German and Russian designs on Cltina, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and the Baltic States, or in the success- ful rcsistallcc of these latter nations, is to be guilty of moral irresponsiblity. A victory for the Allied powers or for China would not of itself assure the establishment 0f justice and ticacc, but the victory 0f Germany, Russia or japan would inevitably preclude the justice, free- dom of thnttgh; ziud worship, and international co-operitiion vihicli arc fundamental to a Chris- zion world I)l'(l('l'. Therefore, Christians in 1let1- tral cotultrics cannot evade the ethical issues in- volvcd iii the cotiscqltcnt claims upon their sym- pathy and support.” Auiotig sfrguers of thc statement were the Rt. Rcv. lleur_v St. (icorgc Tucker, presiding Bis- linp of the Protestant lipiscopal Church; Dr. Robert lC. Spi-cr. foruler president of the Fed- eral (‘titiucil of (fhttrches of Christ in America: l)r_ William .\ll<-11 Neilson, president emeritus of Smith (Villt-gc: Dr. (‘harles Seymour, presi- dent of Yale l'niver.sit_v, and Dr. Henry M. \\'ri.~toit, 1irt-s‘ilent of llroivn University. Everybody’: Business Strange. ~Jl_\'< flit‘ llamilton Spectator, (In- dt-pcutletttl is the :utittttle of those who argue that l‘retnicr llltltllllfllvllilfl no right to criticise if he saw fit, the itiauticr in which the King Gov- crntltetit ltas been prosecuting Canada's war activities. "It is very mttch the business of the Premier of Ontario as to how the war effort is being hatidlt-d. just as it is the business of every other provincial premier in the Dominion," the Sperfnlar atlds. "And if some of his charges have not been sufficiently proven, neither have they been adequately denied." None of the other provincial premiers. it has been zlsserfctl. have “n1edtlled" in this wav. “Possibly not." retort: the Spectator: "But it might be catttiotlsly pointed out that nearly all the other provincial premiers are part and par- cel of that virtual Liberal bloc that extends‘ across the coitiifry. And if criticism is, in itself, a crime, it could be fairly said that to withhold it when it was needed is a worse one." ' Our Hamilton contemporary also suggests that when people talk loosely about divided councils it is ivell to look into it a little further. "There are no divided councils in Canada about the urgent need for Canada f0 put its whole weight behind Great Britain and France in this war. There are certainly divided councils about the manner in which this need has been met to date. Premier Hepburn and thousands of other Canadians have been strongly critical of what they regard as inefficiency and lack of spirited leadership." One might go further and say that it is every taxpayer's business to see that Canada's war efforts are conducted with a itiaxiintim of effi- ciency and a minimum of partisan waste and extravagance. Many of the charges which the King Government was evidently afraid to face in Parliament had to do with partisanship. A striking example was the ilixscredittible Liberal campaign in the Saskatoon federal byclection, when war contracts in the form of bribes were openly held out to the electorate. -= EDIIURIAL NUIFS == A new month, with all extra (lay. i‘ i C 1U \\’hen .\lcl.ure and llytitlinzlti go to Ottawa there will be something doing for and on the Is- land. 1|‘ 1|‘ ll‘ 1|‘ Nell Givyitne, orange scllcl‘ and actress, an- cestress of the present lluke of '\t.

The part which the King quoted was: I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the year, "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the utiktiotvn." And he replied, “Go out into the (larktiess, and put your hand into the llaud of God. "That shall he to you better than light, and safer than a kuotvu way." The poem continues: So I ivctit forth, Atid fittding the Iland of God trod gladly into the night. And lie led me towards the hills and the break- ing of day in the lone liast.
