According to the Winnipeg Free Press, Premier Robiin's hurried decision to go to the people on December 14 came as a considerable surprise to the electors of Manitoba. The present Conservative govern- ment was elected in May 1959 and did not need to have an election un- til 1964, although it might have been justified in having one next spring or summer. One of the fac- tors influencing Mr. Roblin’s decis- ion. in the opinion of the Free Press. “was probably the decision earlier this week by the Conservative gov- ernment of Prince Edward Island to call a premature election. Premier Shaw is going to the country with even more haste than Mr. Roblin. His government was elected in Aug- ust 1959 and so has been in office for a little over three years.” However, the Free Press notes that Premier Roblin is “an astute politician" and it appears to think that his chances of re-election are good. At any rate. it says: “He rode into office on the Diefenbaker wave of 1958; perhaps he intends now to make certain that he does not ride out of office on the Diefenbaker defeat of 1963." We doubt if the Opposition here ‘would phrase its analysis of , Premier Shaw's motives in calling I December 10 election in precisely these words. They might. charge him with attempting to do the same thing. but surely not with intending “to make certain” of doing it. For. unfortunately from the Opposition point of view. this could be too close to a realistic evaluation of the situation. There is an old Western tradit- ion about the advantage of being "first on the draw." Its application to political gunplay was underlined in the Quebec election returns the other night. According to Mr. John- son. the Union Nationals leader, “If Premier Lesage had given us six more months the result would have been different.” But he didn't, and they weren’t. The same thing could happen elsewhere. In any case. the question re- FRIDAY, NovEMBEanu. warpath at this unexpected time. what was it that prompted Premier Lesage and Premier Smallwood to hit the trail in Quebec and New- foundland? Our Winnipeg contem- rary is silent on this point. It sees litical opportunism only among the Tories. We take a broader—or perhaps a more cynical—view, and Ice it pretty well everywhere. The ‘ drift is noticeable in more than snap elections. but that is a subject that A Crazy Economy There are tempting opportunities * of making cut-rate export sales of I butter as I means of solving Can- ' odi'c big butter surplus.

Many 1 other food surpluses are prevented from moving to countries where they are badly needed. for the same reason. Economists h a v e n’ t untangled this problem yet. Other more urgent matters seem to be crowding it continually off the stage. But when the history of this generation is written. this failure of the surplus food nations to meet a challenge that they alone can solve. and that means so much to other nations on the borderline between existence and starvation. may stand out as the most damning indictment of our times. It was Gandhi who said that “to the millions who have to go with- out two meals a day the only ac- ceptable form in which God dare appear is food." Terriblewords. and still applicable despite all the efforts of the United Nations and other or- ganizations in distributing food to needy countries throughout the world. Many now can get as gifts 3 portion of what they are unable to buy at the price they can afford to pay. That is better than nothing at all, of course. But surely it is a crazy system of economy. quite out of keeping with the needs of the times. not to spea k of the moral obligations that are involved. Geneva Prospects The resumption. on November 26. of the 17-nation disarmament committee sessions at Geneva is hailed as “an encouraging factor" by Lieut. General Burns, Canadian disarmament delegate, who ex- presses the belief that the commit» tee will at last “get down to serious negotiations." Canada has been urging an early resumption of nego- tiations at practically every oppor- tunity, and this occasion seemed to afford particular grounds for op- timism. In their exchange of messages on the Cuban crisis President. Ken- nedy. Premier Khrushchev and Prime Minister Macmillan pledged their best efforts to reach agree- ment on an end of all nuclear tests. Building on this. the United Na- tions Assembly overwhelmingly ap- proved a resolution urging that all tests cease forthwith. but in any case by January 1. The prospects looked good when this resolution was passed. Unfortunately. Mr. Macmillan's subsequent announcement that Brit- ain would conduct a nuclear test—— albeit. small and underground—at the Nevada site. may make a dif- ference. There is no doubt that there will be strong criticism if the British test occurs on the eve of the Geneva negotiations. or after the talks open. British newspapers have at- tacked it as “a miserably clumsy gesture." and loath as we are to say so, we cannot but. agree. The Communists. of course. are damning it. hypocritically. in much stronger terms. The blunder lies in having given them the opportunity of mak- ing this kind of propaganda at a time when the positions of East and West appeared to be drawing closer on this issue. EDITORIAL NOTES Extensive research has been carried out in Britain over a period of years into the cause of the com- mon cold. One of the latest experi- ments engaging the services of 6,000 volunteers has just been completed. It proved—what most of us knew already—that drafts and chills are a major cause of the common cold. 0 C i Youth notably rose to the top in last week’s big reshuffle of U.S. state governors-hips. 0f the 17 new governors-elect. two are in their 30’s and 11 in their 40’s. None is over 55; the average is 45. The youngest sitting governor. Ray Keyser of Vermont. 35. was knocked out of the ranks. but. his successor. Philip Hoff. is only 38 himself. The new “baby” of the. governors is Georgia‘s Carl Sanders at 37. O O 0 We got a shock the other day on reading. in a leading mainland newspaper. the heading: “Cde To Attack Himalayas." We thought for a moment that we had jumped right into the undeclared war on the Indo-Chinese frontier. But the story was merely about an expedition of eight or nine Canadians which will attempt to scale the mighty moun- tain range in the Karakoram area. with the permission of the Pakis- tani government. SUNSET AT STANHOPE BEAH OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Dramatic Week Of I926 Recalled Packed galleries thrilled to overthrown — by a single vote. lfederal Parliament of I breach the drama "I the House of Com- mons on the memorable even- ing of Tuesday. November 6. when two divisions challenged the Conservative government. Its fate. in this House of Min- orities. depended upon th e tiny Social Credit group. That echoes the historical si- milarity on Dominion Day in 1926. when the likewise tinyI and split Progressive Patry aet- fled a voting battle between the Conservative and Liberal min- orities. ‘ It had been I stormy week on ! Parliament Hill. There was no 10 pm. curfew in the House 36 years ago. and the sitting of Friday. June 25. ended at 5.17. cm. on Saturday. But the nor-' mal sleepiness of that late hour was contradicted. not so much by the midsummer dawn as by the excitement of three close votes which had toppled the m1- nority Liberal government of UNIQUE DEFEAT 0n the following Monday. Mr. King announced the resignation of his government -— the only occasion in our history when the government has changed as the direct result of a vote in Parlia- ment. .

Instead. in I ges- iure fated to be enshrined in our political records. be sent for Mr. Meighen. the leader of. the Conservatives who formed the largest but still a minority party. and invited him to form a government. Three days of parliamentary wrangling ensued. Then a bit- ter debate ended in a division which would decide whether or not the new government enjoy- ed the confidence of I majority in the House. The 24 Progressive M.P.s held the balance of owe then. just as the 30 Social Credit M.Ps Some would vote for the government, others against it. and a few abstain. But how would the cookie crum- ble? The Conservative and Li- beral whips excitedly counted heads. checked the “pairs” for their many absent supporters. and tried to fathom Progressive intentions. It would be a close Vote.

Gallant. as the result of an automobile accident on Elm Avenue on November 7.. the community has lost one of its beloved and charm g women. Mrs. Gallant was ever ready to help in any cause whatsoever for the betterment of the com- munity as a whole. Whether it And that was the result of broken “pair”. as was at once revealed when Thomas Bird M.P., a 43-year old Methodist minister from Manitoba. rum- bled io his feet. He asked the Speaker to withdraw his vote. the vote which had toppled the government. “I wish to explain to the House." said that Progresswe .P.. “and with extreme re- gret. that I was paired. and I ast my vote inadvertently He was paired. oddly'enough. with another Progressive M.P. of a different feather. D.M. Ken- nedy from Peace River. This unusual "pair" highlighted the split in the party which held the balance of power. LINKS WITH TODAY But Mr. Speaker Lemieux. perhaps the greatest Speaker our House has ever been ruled that no .vote once cast may be withdrawn. That "inadvertent" defeat of a government has ever since then been quoted as illustrating the danger of the unofficial pra- fice of "pairing". Yet it is in that pledge of honour. In fact. 23 other a refrained from voting on that same divi- plan. because they were paired with M.Ps who were absent. Although that dramatic week was now 36 years ago. one M.P. who voted on these exciting nights still sits in our House : on. Earl Rowe, fro m Dufferin Slmcoe. other present M.Ps had family links in that earlier House. such as Mr Jean Casselman. Earl Rowe's daughter. whose late husband A.C.

British Guiana Conference Winnipeg Free PM Many people will not be dis- appointed that the constitution- Il conference on British Guiana being held in London has col- lapsed.

Little comfort. however, can be taken from the knowledge flint no schiflon has been found. For I year British Guiana he been internally self - governing. Britain can no more indefinite- ly withhold full independence in South America than it can in AfricI or Asia. The British government and the leaders of all three British Guiana political parties are agreed that I data for the transfer of power must soon be set. The London talks failed be- cause Premier Jenn insists on maintaining the single- consti- tuency system which now ro- vldea him a majority of seats on a minority vote. The opposition party leaders. Messrs. Pater D'Aguiar and Forbes Burnhcm. demand proportional reprehen- tatlon and new elections before independence. The real quution. of course. a w o Is to govern the newly independent nItion.

CIRCULATION STUDIES D.J. writes: What tests are done to determine disturbances of the circulatory system? REPLY The circulation of an extrem- ity is tested by feeling the skin 0 see if it is warm or co d; by taking the pulse to deter- mine if it is strong. weak, or absent; and looking to no whether the skin turns light or dark when the arm or leg hangs down. From this point on. there are numerous procedures, such as the oscillometer. mea- surements of skin temperature and. circulation time. studies dealing with spasm. and the use of X-rays to study the patency of the blood vessels.
