Commissioner in London Ministers retiring Hon Frank Geo Hon J Hon J Hon T The Liberals who have helped in the formation of the new Ad ministration are some of the most prominent men in public life today Including the Premier of Alberta the Premier of Nova Sco tia and the Loader of the On tario Opposition The purpose of the Union eminent la to have an adminis tration thai will not be hampered by parly prejudices and will feel itself free to adopt and enforce more aggressive progressive and efficient measures in the inter ests of he Canadian people that the war problems have made ne cessary but which a party Gov ernment would hesitate to at tempt So far as Liberals are concern ed it is just hard to say whore we arc at Many regard it as a bold stroke on the part of Prem ier Borden to continue in office They feel certain that the record of corruption and profiteering of the Borden Government over since the declaration of War is sufficient to cause defeat not withstanding the Disfranchise Act which is expected by them to retain control of the treasury branches and there is no doubt but that the Liberals who have accepted positions in the Union Cabinet sunk personal and party interests in the broadminded patriotic- view that demands the united efforts of all Canadians that this land does not fail eith er in her duty to the Empire or to her own citizens Tho Globe calls attention to the fact that there is only one paral lel in Canadian History to the present situation and that Is the formation of a coalition in which solved the federation is sue The union of today is ex pected to solve the problems of the proper prosecution of the war and give force and harmony to the application of conscrip tion At this moment there are prob ably thousands of men in both parties who think all is lost be cause their party has merged with the other In their belief in the value of parly discipline they think the loss is greater than any possible gain It is worth recalling the conditions of George- Brown and John A had been political anil personal enemies for years They bitterly assailed each oth er and it was last thought in anyones mind that they ever bury the hatchet Yet this is just what they did They cast aside personal prejudices and differences for the welfare of the country The Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Daily Mail and Em pire at the beginning of this week says an early election be looked for The same day it was further announced that Seven Liberals and thirteen Conserva tives composed the at Ottawa It is now called a Union War Administration Political changes are rapidly made these of butter la al most prohibitive to poor people The embargo on cQnncd peas and beans has been lifted from air Provinces of the Dominion It
