As_ it asserts, at_ the close of its editorial ~ “the defeated Conse‘rvati_ve candidates have no reason .. feel despondent over the result. They worked hard, they did their best to win but the tide of Liberalism was too strong to stem.” Theonly amendment we would sug- gest to this verdict is the substitution of the word "un- rest" for Liberalism,” alld the whole situation is explain- expected the victory would be so sweeping.” It certain- ly was not, not even the lnost optimistic Liberals expect- ing nlore thana small majority. We take this oppor- tunity of congratulating our colifrere, Mr. F. J. Nash, editor of the Patriot, oil being returned to the House. We note that his majority was 89, not 49 as reported in do worse than give Mr. Nash a place in his cabinet if there be enough seats to go round. _-__1lOl_i.

Such increases, however, cannot be granted indefinitely.” The same letter also states that the acreage seeded, this year ill all Canada is slightly _less than last year. This' latter is, of course, a natural sequence to the former. Had it not been for the increasing use of tractors in the prairie provinces the acreage for the present year would have been very much less than it is. We can sciircely hope that inacllinery can, in the years to como. olifsc-t the 'movement fron. the country to the cities. Macliinery will undoubtedly help but at a considerably increased cost, yet the real problem is how to arrest this cityward _ movement. _ According to the above extract and as is well known to all, the city attraction is _higher wages and shorter working hours, and it is an irresistible one. It would be the height of folly to ask any man to work anywhere for a lower wage and longer hours than he could obtain else- where. Elsewhere, that is, in the cities, higher wages and shorter hours are available and so long as they are _the blood of the country will flow into the cities. 1 It is not probable that there shall be any arresting of this cityward movement until, either wages in city and turned soldiers, who spent the destruction of war.
