But in Mr. King's case the idea be- comes grotesque, considering the unseasotied character of the Cabinet he produced by his recent wlwksztle shuffle. Tihcre is full \var- rant for the electors to change the parliamentary picture if only to get rid of a makeshift Cab- inet, not long enough reorganized for its mem- bers to get acquainted. ' But everyone must realize that when Mr. King demands the names of the men from the Progressive Conservative party who will suc- ceed his Ministry, he asks something that can- not be answered with constitutional propriety. There is no precedent for the announcement by an Uppositioti leader of the names of the men he \\'ill recommend to the Crown as Min- isters, before being given a mandate by the electors to form an Administration. But the Jinn/rm] tiusrflr takes up the challenge and points out that l’rogr<rssi\'e Conservative party has a notably able line-up of candidates, drawn from every sphere of useful vocation, from amongst whom a Cabinet personnel of proven capacity and wide experience could read- ily be recruited. To quote: "The ability and fitness for public service of several of them have, indeed, been publicly endorsed by Mr. King himself. It is only a few years ago that Mr. King revealed that he had invited .\'lr. j. M. ltlacdonnell, of Toronto, pres- ently a leading figure in Progressive Con- servative party councils and a candidate in Muskoka-Ontario riding, to be Minister of Finance. And when Mr. C. P. McTague, now leader and a candidate i-n Wel- lington South, retired last year from the chair- niatiship ‘of the National War labor Board, Mr. King recorded his regret and his high opinion of the services of the former Ontario Supreme Court judge. "These two men are obvious and ntcellent possibilities for the Finance and Labor port- folios. The Prime Minister woul-d, of course, be Mr. john Bracken, Progressive Cotiserva- tive national leader whose experience and poli- tical actimcn were built up during his 20 years ls undefeated Premier of Manitoba. “Other outstanding Progressive Conserva- tive candidates who come to mind u Cabinet possibilities, and none of whom are exactly "unknown," include LL-Gen. E. W. Sansom or hfai-Cien. G, R. Pearkes, V.C1, for Defence Minister, and Mai-Gen. C. B. Price (Veter- ms Affairs). Demonstrated abilities of Cab- inet calibre are possessed by Messrs. Gordon Graydon, Howard Green, and j. G. Diefen- baker, all members of the last Parliament; P. D. NIcArthur, a leading agriculturist and na- tional chairman of the Progressive Conserva- tive Party; Hon. Earl Rowe and Hon. Grote Stirling, both former Cabinet members; A. L, Smith, K.C., distinguished Calgary lawyer; john Charlton, president of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture; Dr. E. C. Hope, pm- fessor- of farm management, University of SaskatchewanLand H. F. McPhee, former At- torney-Generztl of Prince Edward Island, to mention but a few." Nor would it be difficult t0 select other names not included in the foregoing list of Pro- gressiue Conservative candidates for an alterna- tive Cabinet. which would compare more than favorably with the one now facing the electors, and which, incidentally, ignores this Provinte completely. ___._.___________ Bacon Production Decline lt is somewhat disquieting to learn that h- Jpected slaughter of Canadian hogs for the first 16 weeks of 15mg showed a decrease of 31 per cent compared tn the same period of I944. All estimates on the probable marketings 0f hogs through the stnnmcr and fall months indicate heavy decreases as compared to a year ago. Yet the needs of Great Britain for bacon front (Eutada are fully as great as they were last year. lt zippcars that any marked reduc- tion in our bacon exports 111ust be accompanied very soon by a reduction in the already small weekly ration of bacon in Britain. There is at present no other exporting country which can make up a reduction in Canadian bacon ex- ports. Various factors have operated in bringing about the reduced marketings this year. It is now too late to do anything about the number of sows which will farrow 0n Canadian farms this spring. An increased breeding of sows for fall farrmv could prevent a similar shortage in the spring of 1946. Although possibly the major part 0f the spring farrnwing has already occurred, reports indicate that thcre are still "large numbers of sows to furrow in early june. Under the cir- cumstances, in view of Britairfs urgent need for bacon, it becomes increasingly important that every possible pig be saved from these later litters. Dominion Covermncnt hog survey figures indicate that each year probably from 12 to :5 per cent of all the pigs farrowed are‘ lost be- fore weaning. Various causes contribute to this fatality. They are dealt with in the cur- rent letter on Canadian livestock products is- sued by the Industrial and Development Coun- cil of Canadian Meat Packers. The point most strongly emphasized is that now, as never be- fore, eyery extra effort that will save young pigs to add ultimately to Britain's short bacon supply is a patriotic duty that will at the same time add profitsto the farm hog ledger. _EDITORIAL Moras- The month and elections. of brides and bribes-weddings ‘iii The R.

In his half-hour's speech at London the other night he used “I" and "My", by actual count, no fewer than 65 times. That is going some, more than once every half minute. u it a a A special survey of the fertilizer trade in Canada during the fertilizer year ended june 30, I944 has been completed by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the results have been published in a special report. A total of 535,- 534 tons of mixtures and materials were sold in Canada during the year ended jtme 3o, 1944, ceding twelve-tnonth period. #1 Ii l1 U A manufacturer of personal aircraft pre- dicts that farmers are the most likely prospects for his private planes and he expects 6o per cent of his post-war sales in that group. He bases his hopes on the utility of small aircraft for crop dusting, cattle checking, and commut- ing between farms, together with the ready-made landing areas on farms. Recently a Texas farmer, using a specially equipped plane, seeded 3.500 acres in five days which ordinarily would have taken weeks with grain drills. I l i 1 Hon. john Masefield, D. Litt. (Oxon) O.
