bitterness ahdmuch ofthedfrec responsibility for an earlier general election can be attributed to the excessive and aggressive political tactics in this period of the war these charges are reaching a climax since the defeat of defence minister mcnaughton in the by- election because it is alleged open ly that political parties should not have broken conventions that have been followed in britain and can ada by entering candidates in a by- election which had been held for the sole purpose of getting a cabi net minister into parliament it is known along parliament hill of course lhat lately political agitation was approaching rapidly a climax but it must be stated that there have been numerous causes for political controversy and sharp differences of opinion however the main part to bear in mind is that a general election in 1945 had been inevitable from a legal angle and for several months it had been- an open secret in ottawa that the party in power as well as the oppositions were preparing for such an early event in 1945- more over there have been many instances in canadas past when ministers of the cabinet were opposed in their attempts to be elected in byelections the first instance was as far back as april 20 1869 and there have been about 34 cases since that time these other ministers who were opposed in byelections have included such famous names in canadas past as sir wilfred laurier sir charles tuppef sir george foster sir francis hincks etc and in our time such events have marked the careers of premier king hon l lafleche hon louis stlaurent hon humphrey mitchell etc therefore it is a serious fallacy to assume that the oplitical bitterness as well as tumult that culminated in the strong appressive opposition to defence minister mcnaughton in the byelection nor the tactics in political circles which are pre ceding a general election can be blamed on any excessive political agitation at this time though such a popular idea seems to be sweep ing

that prime minister king has shown in the past to be some what in favour of a distinct flag for canada as well as a national anthem then again he was not opposed to the abolition of appeals to the privy council in britain when this was raised prior to this war on the two other points it must be asserted that it is possible for the- government of canada to recommend the appointment of a canadian to be a governorgeneral if such should be desired by the federal government but there is nothing definite in this capital about canadas possible entry into the pan american union though this may take place under certain conditions these were the five main points alleged in a report in quebec about a new platform for the liberal party there has- been- a peculiar ex change of letters between premier
