Nov. 16 in three scat- tered by-elections. The great im- ponderable is the influence of the era that has just passed. notably of the man who dominated it, the late Premier Angus L. Macdon- ald. It's a mark of the length and the strength of the Angus L. era that men and women of 21 will cast their first ballots this time in a Province that has been Lib- eral since the year they were Worn. It is said. indeed. of -the Legisla- tive Building in Halifax that any- one of Conservative background who finds his or her rare way into the ranks of its staff is quietly ex- amined as would be a stranger from a suspect and foreign land. So these by-elections are bein fought and watched as few by-ele - tions have been in years because they will play their light on who- ther this sort of thing came about because Nnva Scotians voted prim- arily for Angus L. or simply are incurably Liberal. They will il- Iuminate both the Macdonald leg- end and questions that arise arounzl if have found comfort in tracking a steady rise in their voting strength in the past three pr6v- incial elections until they came to a point in 1953 where it is said some 500 voters in the right places could have turned the 'tide. This, they believe. indicates that even Angus L. was losing his grip on the Province. Without him, they hope the Liberals are ripe for a fall. The C.C.F.. too, has been stimulated by Mr. MacdonaId's exodus to the point where it is contesting two of the three ridings and predicting it will win both to double its House strength. The Liberals, on the other hand. are quietly keeping their fingers crossed as their new, 39-year-old Premier, Henry Da vies Hicks stumps the hustlngs. They nren". entirely sure what, they've got and they aren't entirely sure what they gained or lost in getting him. in the September party convention, . . . Mr. Hicks was a surprise winner a fifth-ballot choice over ored Harold Connolly. To and out- sider, the convention smacked less of division than of vigorous party life. In fact, Mr. Hicks appear; sive chord when he cried that the time has come for the party to stop living on its past and to strike forward into the future. The dela- gates went for that happily. If Ii; can sustain an! lead that urge to rejuvenation. A new Liberal er.-l could be opening. ' But the convention's vivid cum- petltion offered too good fuel for the opposition to miss. They've been proclaiming deep splits In the Liberal ranks and taunting Mr Hicks with the charge that his party's marvlate died with Angus L. The by-elections should help to clear that up. Certainly as of now the new Premier Is not credited with In a v I n g anything like the Angus L. flair or color or per- sonal popularity. Yet at a time of Supreme Opportunity the Conserva- tives themselves could use a bit of the Macdonald touch and well know It. Their 40-year-old leader, Robert Stanfield, in Halifax lawyer and member of a wealthy family. is a quiet, able and sincere man but he has to rely on something less than dynamic impact to win voter.

But if their predictions were valid it would raise their strength to 15 seats compared to 20 for the Liberals and would deeply affect Mr. l-licks' thinking about an elec- tion. The campaign has been stirred up by Conservative charges that the government has allowed agents of liquor firms to operate. among them men high in Liberal coun- cils, and by the government's lay- inlz of court charges against a group of men for such alleged misdemeanors. In a number of cases. mtably In Cape Breton, old- fashioned hammer-and-tongs po- litics has been packing them in and Interest generally is high.

Whether the hopes for whlchithey died will ever be realized in a question that cannot be answered at the mo- ment.

It takes In, Indeed, the whole sweep of human history which from the first recorded day until now has witnessed the birth and develop- ment of some rich ideal and some good promise. Because we live in the 20th cen- tury with Its emphasis on mass appeal as expressed In organiza- tions - the United Nations, for example -- we are apt to believe that systematic efforts to build and maintain peace in the world are more or less modern inven- tions. The inference is that other generations and other societies, because their war: were not as frightful as ours. were less con- cerned about building a peaceful world. The historian, however, does not hold that belief. Whether, like Toynbee, he sees history as the atory of the development of re- Iigiona and their Impact, or lack of It, on society; or, like Renan. he sees it as to proving ground for the inherent nobility in human nature. the historian knows that ever since war became a fact. In human life It has been assailed by the peace- makers. I 0 O In the past they had less to work with than we have: but they persevered, and they deserve re- membrance. veryone who has read history at all. even in the casual, fact-seeking way that most of us do, and who does not subscribe to the cynical view that "the facts of the past are as the calendar nl last year," knows something of what the historic religions have done to bring the human family as far as It has come in moral force and light. True. many wrong and cruel acts have hem l)el'pctmtcd In the name of religion: but no one today - except perhaps the Marxist dialectlclans-dispute the proposition that.
