Net Paid Circulation Mveragt Pr 8 7 207 FRIDAY; JUNE 25, 1948 A Popular Choice As was predicted earlysa the convention, the Republican Party yesterday selected Mr. Thomas E. Dewey as its can- didate to contest the presidential election in the United States this fall. Although seven men had been nominated, Mr. Dewey was the unanimous choic&of the convention after such party stalwarts as Senator Vandenburg of Michi- gan, Governor Earl Warren of California, Harold Stassen and Senator Taft withdrew from the contest. The selection of the former governor of New York State as the Republican candidate would seem to give the party its best chance of electing a president to the White House since Herbert E. Hoover held the office. Dewey, who dealt Tammany Hall its most crushing blow and who prosecuted New York vice leaders, was not received with any great acclaim when He opened his campaign to secure the Republican nomination, but his following increased with leaps and bounds in recent months. He is the type of man who will get things done and, if allowed his own way, will weed out malpractice from the government. , Looking back upon this, the 24th convention of the Republican Party at which Mr. Dewey was chosen on third ballot, it is interesting to note that in the previous conven- tions, the candidate has been chosen on the first ballot at 15. Two were chosen on the fourth ballot and one was chosen on each of the third, sixth, seventh, eighth, 10th and 36th ballots. : * It I 1880. fired 36 ballots to choose James A. Garfield in eVwas elected and was assassinated. It took 10 ballotf to choose Warren G. Harding in 1920. He was electe died in office. The eighth ballot saw the nom- ination of Benjamin Harrison, who was elected in 1888. Seven ballots were needed to choose Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected in 1876. Six ballots brought the nomina- tion of Wendell L. Willkie, who was defeated in 1940. Four ballots were needed to choose Abraham Lincoln in 1860. He was elected and was assassinated after re-election. It was also on the fourth ballot that James G. Blaine was nom- inated in 1884, He was defeated. Charles Evans Hughes was chosen 'on the third ballot in 1916 and he lost by a narrow margin to President Woodrow Wilson: Well Said » In his maiden speech in the House of Commons at Ottawa on Monday last, Mr. Arthur Williams, recently elect- ed C.C.F. member for Ontario Riding, wasted few words in upbraiding the members of the House for wasting time. The speech was made after Clare Gillis, C.C.F. member for Cape Breton, and Donald Fleming, Progressive Con- servative member for Toronto Eglinton, had engaged in a debate as to the reason why the C.C.F. had won three recent by-elections. Mr. Williams told them he was not elected "to come down here and wasté time in this kind of debate." No matter how you take it, Mr. Williams' remarks were characteristic of the man. It is always his.desire to get things done. At the same time his remarks will not win him popularity among his fellow members of the House, although they will no doubt be applauded by taxpayers who are wont to think that too much time is given to talk by those whom they elect as their representatives® Mr. Williams at least has the courage of his own convic- tions. Few new members of the House of Commons would have had the temerity to speak so forcefully in their first address in the House. Not Wanted, But- (Vancouver Province) Veterans of the Canadian Legion, the men who fought our battles in two wars, reiterated at their recent convention their demand for compulsory peacetime military training in Canada. Nobody has a better right or better qualifications to speak on this subject. : These men know and hate war and they, above all others, hope that their sons will be spared an ordeal they never can forget. But they are realists too. They know that we are living in a tense, unsafe world--one in which they want their country to have an equal chance of survival. They know that practically all countries except the United States, the Dominican Republic and four British Dominions--Australia, Canada, India and New Zealand -- practise conscription. Even now a peacetime draft is being debated in the United States, Britain calls her young men at the age of 18 for 22 months' service; Russia drafts her young men mostly at 19 from two to five years; France calls them up at 20 for a year's service. ; Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzer- | land, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Czecho-Slovakia, Greece, Portugal and Yugoslavia draft their young men at various ages. Nobody in Canada likes or wants compulsory military training in this country in peacetime, But that is not the point. . : ' Is compulsory military training necessary to our national safety and survival? That is the only question we can ask purselves. "Less Cackle And More Eggs" Named Master Dr, J.E. Carson Heads O.M.A. ™ Toronto, June 25 -- (CP) -- Dr. J. E.

Beaten by Clubs, Bars, 5 Sailors in Hospital; 4 Beaten at Montreal Welland, June 24 (CP)--Five men were taken to hospital here today for treatment of injuries re- ceived when they were beaten with clubs and iron bars in a fresh out- burst of violence in the lake ship- ping strike. The five were in a group of 17 men travelling in a truck from Brantford to the Welland South docks. It was reported they, were to man the freighter Joseph B. Burke of Sarnia Steamship Lines. She has been tied up since June 17 in the shipping strike called by the Canadian Seamen's Union (T.L.C.). Some nine miles from Welland, the truck was intercepted by an- other truck and the men were at- tacked. ' I The injured were picked up from the roadside and brought to hos- | pital here. Three were released | shortly afterwards. | + Names and conditions of the two | still in hospital were not im:medi- ately available. Royal Canadian Mounted and Ontario Provincial Police launched an immediate investigation. Ten men were placed under ar- rest and police said they would be charged with assault. Their names were not made known imnrediately. Montreal, June 24 (CP).--Four men were injured here early today when a group of seamen, identified by police as members of the Cana- dian Seamen's Union (T.L.C), boarded the Canada Steamships Lines vessel Kinmount and engaged the crew in a fist fight. The C.S.U. men were said to be from the Mont Sandra of the Mon- treal Shipping Company. All was quiet for a while. Then, as some of the Kinmount's crew went ashore, the CS.U. men swarmed aboard and the fight began. By the time the scrap was over, the galley was partly wrecked. Some of the fighting also took place in the forecastle. When police arrived, they could not find any members of the board- ing party, which had scattered, No arrests were made, The four injured men, all from the Kinmount, were taken to hos- pital, but none was reported seriously hurt. ® Other Editors COULDN'T BE TRUE ui (Brantford Expositor) A press repoort from Calgary says that residents of that city have complained to the police that some Scot in their district is disturbing the neighborhood by continually playing the bagpipes. The officers are said too be listening for the culprit. The yarn sounds like a fable. In the first place, the cul- | tured folk of Calgary like music. In the second, if anyone wanted to discover a piper all he would have to do would be to come within a block or two of him and come in on the beam. NOT SO COOL AT THAT! (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) As for Port Arthur and Fort Wil- liam, they continue in what has sometimes been described as the cool shades of opposition. They may not be so cool at that. How- ever it may be, it is to be hoped the Government's recognition of this district will not lessen by the result. There is still much that governments can, in justice, do for this part of Ontario. WHERE THEY DON'T BET | (Collier's Magazine) Bullfighting is believed to be the only spectator sport on which there is no betting, because the bull is almost alwaysk illed. Should it leave the arena alive, it is either saved for breeding purposes or else it is shot, as the experience in the ring makes the animal too danger- ous for a matador to fight it again. NEW ELECTION SOON (Port Arthur News-Chrenicle) The Liberal majority at Ottawa is almost gone as a result of the by- elections which saw the party lose two seats to the C.C.F. It would be pretty safe for all concerned to look for a new election, at least soon after the convehtion in Au- gust at which it is planned to select a new leader, ® 45 Ycars Ago Epidemic of horse stealing hits town with many horses belonging to prominent residents missing.

The three-man court headed by Col. N. P. Bogert of Kingston, offi- cer commanding the eastern Ontario military area, will move to London Friday. If their conditions permit evidence will be taken from the cadets who are patients in West- minster Hospital. A spokesman said that Maj.-Gen, Chris Vokes of Toronto, Command- ing Officer Central Command, was expected in the Western Ontario niilitary area overnight to visit the camp and possibly to conduct his own investigation into the accident. The trio of youths, accompanied by a fourth cadet identified as John "Cookson, are said to have wandered into a restricted section of the camp and to have found three or more grenades on the ground. They were returning to their quarters when, in some manner, the grenades exploded. Cookson was the only one to escape injury. Most severely hurt was Nicholas Timoshenko, 15, who lost part of one foot, three fingers of one hand and suffered an eye injury which may destroy the sight of the mem- ber. His condition still is serious. James Vaughan, 17, son of W. H. Vaughan, Executive Editor of the Windsor Star, and Ernest Ebbing- haus, 16, escaped major injuries though they have multiple shrapnel wounds.

Did you earn it? Take it out of your pocket and feel it. What makes you think it's yours? It isn't Canadians are now paying 40 cents out of every dollar of personal income to support various -muni- cipal, provincial and federal gov- ernments, It's rather a broad generalization to say that each individual who has a dollar will pay 40 cents .of it to the tax collector. But that's the | way it works out on a national | scale. In 1947 the total personal income | of Canadians was $10,110 millions. The total taxes levied by all gov- ernments was $4,058 millions or 40 percent. Collections and expenditures by our politicians in the year 1948 won't make a whittle of difference, despite the changes which are due in the so-called Youll still be paying on the 40- percent structure. It's almost incredible to believe that a nation of 12 million people requires a tax-cellection of more than four billions*each year. The federal government is the worst offender in the matter of taxes, taking a total that goes be- yond the two-billion mark. : And of the two-billion-plus, more than 21 percent is: used to pay the interest on public. debt--debt piled up by this and previous govern- ments. The total annual interest bill on our debt now runs above the $466 million mark every year. This is more than was required to administer the whole federal gov- ernment a few years before the war. Canadians might as well resign themselves to high taxes for a long time to come. There will. be occasional moments of relief-- in election years, for example. But the oppressive rate now in exist- ence will remain substantially the same. Once the people give away anything to their governments-- small personal freedoms or docile acceptance of taxes--they seldom get anything restored to them.
