Sililillillii units Conservatives Will Carry at Least 72 Seats in That Pro- vince —0utl00k for Liberals Very Black (Special to The Guardian) TORONTO. Ont. Sept. 1.~Caro- ful surveys of the election situa- tion in Ontario made within the last few days, indicate clearly that the Nlackcrtzle King party will fare even worse on Sept, 14 than it did the Province. When Mackenzie King appealed to the country last fall Ontario turned against him so emphatical~ ly that out of the eighty two seats. he carried only eleven. which \\itlt the return of one Progressive and one independent made lris total fol- lowing from the Province only thir- teen. ‘Every cabinet minister lront Ontario en that occasion was re- jected lnfludlng the Prime .\iirris- ter. Now, Mr. King appears abtittt to lose at least a quarter of tlte rom- nant of.‘ his tellowirtg itt this Pro- vlrtce.

So that many pet ideas of the economists, wise in their day. have become meaningless shlbboletlts, and must be thrown into the viisearrl, Atty country that is to grow to import- ant stature, and prosper, and be self-reliant, and self-contained. must have a mrtcb smaller farmer than urban population. We should aim at being well-rounded econo- mically, and, until we do so. our farmers will never get a square deal. it is grilling to a patriotic Canadian to see early irults and vegetables coming into Carlotta tak- ing tho taste out of otrr mouths. and depriving ou.r farmers of the decid- ed advmttago of being first in the market. Those who want the luxury of early fruits and vegetables should have to pay a fancy price for them. We are "kicked ottt" of l'nclo Sam's market. let us "kick" linclo Sum out of ours.
