SATURDAY. NOVEMBER. 25. 1939. k ‘I! Cabinet Representation It is interesting to note, on the authority of our local contemporary, that this Province suf- fers an “injustice" when it is deprived of rep- resentation iii the Dominion Cabinet. Well, we had cabinet representation contin- uously under the Meighen and Bennett Govern- ments, in the person of one of our own lsland members, Hon. john A. MacDonald; and it was not until the King Government came back in I926 that “injustice” was perpetrated. B1111 f“? went without a. cabinet member until thc dying davs of thc (ioveriimciit in i930, when lloii. (Tvirus hlacmillan was appointed Minister of Fisheries in the pro-election cabinet shuffle. This eleventh-hour gesture of repentence didiit impress the electors, and so the new Minister as well as the King Government ‘went down to de- feat. O-ur cabinet representation was then re- stored by Premier Bennett and we continued t0 enjoy it until the Conservatives were defeated in i935. _ _ _ It was thought, in view of the emphasis placed on llon_ Cyrus I\'lacmillan's unquestioned ability that hc would have been renoininated as Liberal candidate at that ‘time; but he was dotible-crossed. The convention was stiruiigdwi) years before the election, while Dr. blaeinlllflfl ; . “t. A- ._. .454 - ivas recovering from a serious illness, and thc ' result was the noiiiiiizitioii of Mr. Pcter Sinclair in his place. _ \\'h.-it happened our cabinet representation then? Did l\lr. Sinclair obtain the coveted place? Did the deserving and experienced Mr. A. F.. NzicLcan gct a look-in? At the time there was strong’ representation made by the Fi5li@i'li\8l1'5 Liiiion as well as by prominent Island Liberals to have l\lr. MacLeaii appointed Minister of Fisheries in the new King Government. There was no question as to his qualifications for the job, but l\lr. King turned him down cold. (That was his gratitude to the Cotinty which harbor- ed him when he himself was looking for a seat!) Not only did we get no portfolio appointment, but no representation of any kind iii the King Gov- ernment. And it was argued by our contempor- zzrv at that time that cabinet representation didn't matter much, after all, and that a rcp- resgntative would really have more time to de- vote to his constituents if he were out of the Cabinet. Bc that as it may be, we remained the only Province unrepresented in the King Cabinet until it became necessary to find a seat for Fin- ance Minister Dunning. When Mr. Dunning re- linquished his portfolio we heard nothing fur- ther about Cabinet representation until a seat had to be found for his successor, Colonel Ral- $1011, who has accepted nomination at the hands of the executives of the Prince County liberal Associations with quite understandable alacrity. \\'c have no concern with how Liberals run their noiiiiiizititiiis. but one thing is as clear as a pike-staff: The whole record of the king (lov- €‘l'1llll(‘lll in thc matter of P. l5. l. cabinet rcp- rt-sciitzition has been one of political expediency. iviihout the slightest regard either for thc claims of local talent or the interests of the Province. \\"hv otherwise have resident Liberal mcmbcrs failed repeatedly to “make the grade," and been turned down in favor of neccssitous outsiders? ' l Ii-‘remier Hepburifs Example " A piltflflllC example has been set to other gov- ermiiciit leaders, federal and proizincial, by thc formerly much-criticised Premier Hcpbtirn.

Ilcpburii at oiicc got iii touch with Colonel George Drew, Con- servative lcadcr in the province, and disclosed to him “all major legislation so far considered by the tiovcrniiicnt.” This gesture undoubtedly will make for smoother legislative action and iiiorc intelligent co-operatitin from the Opposition party in Un- tario. lt docs not mean, of course, that Pre- niier llepliurii has rid himself of any part of his responsibility for government legislation and admiiiistratitiii. l\'ot' docs it mean that the Op- position loader has surrendered any of his right or duty of criticism because he has been given a prc-vicw 0f thc sessioiial programme. lillt it shows a “latidable desire on the part of the Government leader to lay his cards on the table: a desire inspired, no doubt, by the gravity of the war-time task which Canada has assumed aiiil in support of which all the provinces havc plcilgcd their loyal support and co-operatioii. The Polish Conquest A special article in the Globe and Mail des- cribes what actually happened to bring Poland so speedily to defeat. The indiizidiial details arc not new, but taken together they make a striking picture. \Vitli only thirty-five divisions to man her virtually uiifortificd frontiers, Po- land was prevented from rallying her forces by the swift and widely spaced Nazi motorized of- fensive. Planes lvorked with tanks to sever communication lines and the bulk of the Polish forces never did get iiilo position. Authoritative sources estimate that Germany used sixty (livis- ions, having fifteen times as many motorized units as the defenders. These were supported bv 2.000 aircraft, more than 55 per cent of which were bombers. In the first ten days of the war, those bombers had raided fifty-two iliffi-reiit towns and cities, reaching almost to the Soviet frontier. The. Poles had 30o planes, only 4o of which were bombers, with which to igbt back. Yet for all the superiority of the German forces, and without discounting the precision with which the nuchines rolled forward, it was Russia. which smashed the Polish defense.
