British Conservatives’ Plan In Britain where all political parties realize that a general election cannot long be delayed, the Conseriative party has designed its platform in the routing tussle against nationalization and bureauziacy". This blueprint which is called an “eight-point plan for freedom." was discussed at s party conference hcltl in London last week. Main fcaturcs of the program are: relaxation of all wartime controls; increased production and maintenance of living standards; a vigorous cxyvirt policy based on the en ment and stimulation of private enterprise, both by Capital and labor (including the use of mod- ern lllIlUlliilCTy and the application of science to industry ,1; fullcsi possible development of the rctcntion of conscription for the forces war: a long-term policy for agricul- turc.

Ida, as the new year gets under way, is one of maximum activity, says the Bank of Nova 5C0. The outstanding heavy war demands upon the economy-for munitions, for exports of agricultural, forest and minefll products, and These demands are clearly evident in the peak levels maintained by government outlays and by exports, and in the Pmvfllllflfl general shortage of labour, especial- ly of skilled, able-bodied men. economic trends over the past tw teen months, the Review notes th period there ivas undoubtedly some slackening in war ilcniands upon supplies of labour and materials.

In consequence Ln Droi! goes all out in support of the resolu- tion adopted by the Quebec House: “From 193i to 194i, the population of the Province of Quebec showed a considerable increase,‘ much greater than that of other Provinces. In con- sequence, a redistribution of electoral seats be- came necessary. It has been postponed until a later dare under the excuse that the state of war has caused abnormal displacements of the population. There is no less the result that, in the next Federal Parliament, the Parlia- mentary representation of theCanadiaii Prov- inces ivill not be in ‘conformity with the actual state of the populatlonyandthat it‘ is the Prov- ince of Quebec which will lose by it. There- fore, the Qucbec Legislative Assembly has done a good thing to make a pronouncement on this question, which is ‘of Lthentmost importance under our democratic system." ‘ u e e u Both men and women attending the blood donors clinic have been turned down for lack of iron. 1t has been proved by experience (says Saturday Night) that regular blood don- ors need to eat at least 75 Bramsof protein daily to enable them to give every three months.
