Untimely Discord According to our local contemporary, the On- tario Conservative convention after electing Col- onel Drew as leader adopted the slogan, “Any- thing to beat Hepburn.” just in time, it would seem, to take the words out of Prime Minister Kings month! With the King Government as determined as Colonel Drew to beat Hepburn in Ontario, and Hepburn backing Dr. Manion (“at least he's humanl") to oust the King Government at Ottawa, things should bc pretty lively in the lext election campaigns. In the meantime, it is necessary again to re- call that Premier King and his faction, and Premier Hepburn and his faction, are Liberal bedfellows. They campaigned together in I935, urging the electors to vote Liberal to avoid “dis- tention and disunity" between provincial and federal administrations! “King or Chaos" was the slogan. Now Mr. Hepburn says the only way of avoiding chaos is to get rid of Mr. King and his incompetent government at Ottawa. Mr. King says ditto about Mr. Hepburn and hi: government at Toronto. They shout their dis- cordant recriminations at top voice, for all the world to hear. And just at the Christmas season too, the season of peace and goodwill, the season when even our troops in the trenches strapped chocolate bars with the enemy during the Great War! —a Sancho Wanted One Too As noted before, Prime Minister King has given assurance that our present Lieutenant Gov- ernor is to remain in office at least until after the visit next Spring of their Majcsties the King and Queen. This, from the public standpoint, is highly satisfactory, and would be still more so if His Hononfls term were extended for another full five years. To those Liberal stalwarts who were nursing the ambition of filling this exalted position at the present time, there is the satis- faction of realizing that only one of tlic many aspirants could be appointed in any case, and that a great deal of party bickering will be avoided by leaving the job in its present com- potent hands. If this consolation prove insufficient, lei them recall the homely advice tendered by his better half to honest Sancho Panza in Cervantes’ im- mortal story Don Quixote, Squire to the Knight of La Mancini, Sancho nursed a lordly ambition, nothing lcss than that of becoming “Governor of an Isle“; to which post if he did not attain before very long. he felt that he “would drop dead upon the spot." “Not so, husband," cried Sancho’: good wife Theresa. “Let thc hcri live though it be with the pip. Live you; and let the Devil take all the governorsliips that are in the world; without a government you came from your mother's womb; without government you have lived till now, and without government you will go or be carried to the grave when it shall please God. How many in the world arc there who live without a govcrnorship, yet for all that do not give up living and being counted in the number of pe lcl” Nothing like the Classics for putting one’: little pchcmes in their proper perspective! N w; Making Our Flesh Creep Not since the days of Guy Fawkes, says the Montreal Star ironically, has such a horrible conspiracy been unearthed as that disclosed by two federal ministers at Port Arthur. The essence of the vitriolic accusations against the Liberal Premier of Ontario is that he is pa to an evil conspiracy to dcposc Mr. Mackenzie ing from the Premiership of the Dominion. The details of the “conspiracy”, the Star notes. are a bit vague. The alarmed Ministers tell us that “the time has come for plain speaking," but they failed to "speak plainly"——or indeed at all-—about ivliat this modern Guy Fawkes plot is all about. lVcre Messrs Hepburn and Duplcssis trying to suborn some of Mr. King’s Ministers? Were they “boring from within" to honeycomb his majority in the Commons? ‘Or were they going to emulate their great predecessor and blow up the Privy Council? There does seem to emerge a sort of clue in l. remark by Hon. Norman Rogers, to the ef- fect that the Quebec and Ontario leaders were ready to make overtures to Dr. Manion, the Conservative leader with a view of ousting Mr. King from the Premiership. “Of course," says the Star, “this is the supreme reductio ad absur- dum. Dr. Manion would never, never try to remove Mackenzie King from. the Premiership. Or would he? We wouldn’t put it past him. Af- ter all, he was recently elected by a great party convention to do that very job." But except in a totalitarian State, opposition to a. party or leader in power is hardly to be described as “conspiracy. and intrigue", as the antithesis of “decency and dignity," or as the negation of responsible government. If all that Messrs. Howe and Rogers meant to say was that 'Mcssrs. Duplessis and Hepburn were political- ly opposed to the Mackenzie King Government, and that Dr. lllanion might be found to be tnrrcd with tlic same brush, there was no need for all this melodramatic language and "crime zliih" mystery. . The fact-is of course that Mr. Kiri and his henchmen ‘who spoke at Port Arthur had plan- ned a piece of strategy which failed in its ef- Ind is now proving a political boomerang. 1t may have been an attempt to build up the King Government in anticipation of 1939 general elections. But Premier Hepburn?» blast in reply has proved much more devastating than the fire- crackers exploded by Messrs. Howc and Rogers at Port Arthur. Whether the King Government succeeds in driving Hepburn out of the Liberal party and public office, or “Mitch" turns the tables and drives the King Government out of Ontario, the result, from the Liberal standpoint, will be equally disastrous. Like the Kilkenny cats, the antagonists seem determined to fight it out to the finish. ll they succeed in eliminat- ing each other entirely from the political picture there will be some chance of restoring that unity and harmony between the provinces and the Dominion which have been sadly lacking under Liberal administration. J‘ Editorial Notes J‘ Sebastian Cabot, the first Englishman to cross the Atlantic, became Governor of the Company of Merchant Adventurers this date, 1553. v v v v Camillien Houcle and Mitchell Hepburn‘ may or may not, be crazy politicians, but they cer- tainly know crowd psychology. v v v v Export conditions in Halifax are reported to be so bad that pigeons in the vicinity of grain elevators are dying for want of food.- v v v v Every nook and cranny almost, associated in anyway with fishing, seems to be sharing in the Federal Government largess these days. There should be plenty money for our deserving fisher- men ii properly handled. v v v The world record as a mother of twins which has been claimed on behalf of Mrs, H. M. Gil- bert, West Croydon, London, who gave birth to her fourth set in I928, is eclipsed by Mrs. R. Hammond, Surrey Road, Springvale, Wanganui, N.Z., who has had six sets, five of whom are alive today. Of Mrs. Gilbert’s twins only three sets are living. v v a The extra help to be taken on by the Post Of- fice this year shows an increase of about 500 compared with the 7,594 "supernumarics" of last Christmas. They will work approximately from December 20 to December 26, and the tempor- ary jobs will bring them a Christmas windfall averaging about $20 each. Total cost last year was $i7i,oo for the extra help, apart from such items as overtime pay cheques for the regular staff. v v v v British Columbia intends to accept a road sub- sidy from the United States. The Legislature has granted $25,000 for a preliminary survey of the proposed Alaska highway route, extending through British Columbia from the State of Washington to the territory. Premier Pattullo states that the United States offered to lend money without interest to British Columbia for construction of the highway and he intends to continue negotiations next year. Mr. Pattullo justified his action by declaring it was “good neighbor" policy to permit the United States ac- cess from one portion of its territory to another. But Poland does not regard it so as far as Ger- many and the Polish Corridor are concerned. v v v v Here is something should interest railways, bus companies, airways, and shipping companies individually and collectively. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania have been so impressed with the “Save to Travel" scheme in Victoria, that each State has decided to adopt the scheme. It is in operation already in West Australia. It is the only scheme of its kind in the world to embrace travel by rail, sea, air, and road services. In its six months’ opera- tion in Victoria, travel service business has in- creased by many thousands of dollars. Under the scheme, travel stamps for trips in Australia and overseas are sold for twenty-five cents and a dollar, and when enough have been collected the intending tourist can go and book his passage to the destination he has in mind. a v v v Strange reports are coming out of the West regarding political unrest and dissatisfaction with the Liberal party. It is just reported a Mr. F. D. MacCulloch of Saskatoon, has been appointed provincial leader of a new Western political party named the “Western Sccessionist party” at a closed convention held in Saskatoon. The slogan of the new organization is a “Domin- ion of Western Canada", still an integral part of the British Empire, still under the Union jack, and still loyal to British ideals and institutions, but intepcndcnt. At the annual convention of the United Farmers of Canada, Saskatchewan section, in October members instructed their ex- ecutive to study the question of secession by wes- tern provinces. No connection with the U.F.C., however, was indicated by the new party. In- cluded among reforms proposed are debt adjust- ment by reduction of interest farmers are paying on loans; crop ifldemnities for farmers; rehabil- itation of farmers located on land unsuitable for agriculture, and establishment of reciprocal mar- kets for Western producers. _ v v v v A sharp fall in exports of New Zcaland but- tcr and cheese during the opening months of the new season reflects a serious decline in dairy production which has occurred throughout that Dominion. Shipments of butter for August and September are 3305 torts lower at 19,398 tons in comparison with the opening months of last season, while the export of cheese in .the same period has declined by 399 tons to 12,142 tons. Compared with the 1937-38 season, Sep- tember shipments of butter are down by 2656 tons, or 22 per cent, while those for the two months have fallen by r4.5.per cent. The main reason for the decline has been the late spring and retarded pasture growth. In any case, how- ever, the season is likely to reach s later flush. Although a poor beginning has been made the position is not irretrievable. This is indicated ln the fact that although the 1936-37 season made a less favourable start than either the current orlthe past season, butter shipments in 1936-37 reached the record total of 149,003 tons. This result was brought about by a highly productive summer and autumn following a poor spring. Also, of course. to the bonusing of the indus- try and the rudy market offered here in Canada. rm: __c_'.iis.iii.o-r'riz'roww qilniiniiisi BY TllE viii .__~_ A Bunion tumor alums to b0 14b years old, and says he can re- member Na ms retreat from Moscow tn 1612.
