Gazette says it can be expected that, " with a federal general-election to pre- pare for, the federal political parties will pay “some attention” to the by- election results in Ontario last week. They are doing that already, and drawing various conclusions. + The tendency to regard by-elect- fons as indicators of political weather’ can, asthe Tordnto Globe and Mail _ warns, lead to erroneous results.

On Moscow’s western front a resurgent West Germany is intimately involved in the great revival of Western Eur- ope, now in process_of being consum- mated in the European Common ‘Market. If Canadian and American ‘Indust are concerned, as in- they are, about competition rom the Common Market, think for a momgpt how much more coricerned Moscow must be about the rise on its western front of what may well become the greatest pool of wealth and power in the world. This happens at a moment when Moscow can so, longer be sure that Communist China can truly be called holds a position of equal influence in central Asia against China.,It cannot be sure that it can hold its own. in Outer ,Mongolia, or that its Siberian frontiers are regarded in Peking as inviolate. ‘ ~ Moscow js not yet confonted by the immediate danger~of a two-front cold war—but it cannot be sure that this condition will not emerge from “the existing state of the world.

But with all these factors taken into consideration, there dre -—-fnescapable conclusions which Prem- fer Robarts will fave to draw. when he examines what he chose to de- - geribe as “a little general election”. The total number of votes cast exceeded the balloting which took ‘place in the five ridings in the last _ provincial general election of 1959. On that occasion, the Conservatives claimed roughly half of all the bal- Jots, Last week’s voting brought them | 38.2 per cent. The Liberals, who scored 37.6 per cent in 1959, recorded - 448 per cent. The CCF took 13.4 per cent of the votes in 1959 and their " guceceasors, the New Democratic Party—have now claimed 17 per cent. - Tn approximately the same nim- ber of total votes, the Conservatives were 10,356 down from their 1959 tering fewer in each figures—regis riding. The Liberals, with 6,314 more. votes, increased their vote in every. riding “except Kenora, where their margin was eaten into by the New Democratic Party candidate. Even the NDP, although running a poor last in four of the five ridings, man- * aged to better its showing in every riding except Eglinton, and added “ 4,032 votes to the 1959 total. But the CCF did not contest Renfrew South in 1959, so that this improvement does not quite give the true picture, Both the Opposition parties con- tend that the figures reveal a wan- ing popularity of the Conservatives federally as well as provincially. That is questionable, But they do seem to reflect, as our Toronto contemporary is at pains to point out, a shift on the part of the independent or floating voters. More and more, it would geem, in Canadian politics as at ‘the United Nations, the appeal has to be mate to the “non-aligned”.

The corps, to be recruited for work in undeveloped countries, visionary scheme; it wouldn’t be ac- cepted in many parts, of the world, the doubters said. They have been proved wrong. So many countries ‘have submitted requests for the corps’ services that it is impossible | . to fill them all. Numerically, there have beer enough volunteers, but not enough of the applicants are immediately ready, suitable and available for training, ‘and not enough have technical skills. Almost 500 of the first 750 corpsmen in training or overseas are liberal arts college ‘graduates..Most of them have been assigned to teaching—and . teachers are needed. But the pro- jects also call for engineers; con- struction craftsmen, . agricultural specialists, medical technicians, nur- ses and others. oe ery month the peace corps has begun a recruiting campaign through la bor sional societies. It is also the reason why the corps cannot approve’ more. projects for sanitary systems, water- works, farm improvement and public health programs abroad. - Willingness to serve, it has been found, isn’t enough. The peace corps has to have people with heart, but it also needs thise who know how to do things with their hands. ‘This is worth taking note of,-in the ef- forts which are being made in Canada to organize similar schemes for peace corps activities, 4 .
