THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1949 THE DAwLY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVENTEEN Social Policies Election Issue For Australians By ANTHONY WHITLOCK Canadjan Press Correspondent Canberra --(CP)-- Electioneering is warming up in Australia for the Commonwealth's second post-war general election later this fall. And though the date has not been set, the main issues are already fairly well defined: socialism, in- dustrial relations and the Commun- ist Party. The Labor government, now under Prime Minister Benedict Chifley, has been in power since October, 1941, when the late John Curtin led it to victory over Robert G. Men- zies, leader of the United Australia party. With 43 seats of the 75 in the House of Repxesentatives, the Labor- ites will go to the polls against Mr. Menzies' Liberal party--successor to the - United Australia party--and the Country party. And political ob- servers here give the Laborites a good chance of riding back into power if Liberals and the Country party do not put an end to three- cornered fights for federal seats, es- pecially in the country where Labor support is often surprisingly strong. The Liberals gained 17 seats in the last general election in 1946 after five years in opposition. As the United Australia party it held office from 1931 to 1941 on a private enter- prise policy. The Country party, third party of consequence in federal politics, gained 12 seats in 1946. Represent- ing mainly bigger farming inter- ests, it has often held the balance of power in Canberra, It is primarily anti-Labor. But its great weakness is that it is a third party. In its 32 years' existence it has mostly worked with the Liberals and its leaders have at times been prime ministers. Though at present the Country party and Liberals speak with much the same voice, there are signs that difference may creep in before election time. With no general campaign as yet, this is the outline of what the two major groups are likely to put be- fore the electors: Labor: Prime Minister Chifley will appeal to electors to look at Labor's record; he will propose minor tax cuts "if possible;" he will describe government, semi-government and industrial plans for spending £1,000,~ 000,000 in public works and indus- trial expansion plans, and he may warn that there might be a minor depression coming and ask that his government be returned to meet it. Following the Privy Council's rul- ing that bank nationalization plans were invalid, Mr. Clifley is not likely to call for increased nationalization. Liberal and Country parties: Will probably tell electors they would ban the Communist party and. institute secret ballots in union elections and strike decisions; will promise tax cuts; may propose compulsory mili- tary service in peacetime, and will promise greater encouragement for private enterprise and new indus- tries, The two parties will warn electors that Labor's official policy of social- izing the means of production, dis- tribution and exchange might mean complete socialism for Australia, Trend Is Upward In Hog Marketing The upward trend in Canadian hog marketings, noticeable in July, became more marked in August, the firat month to show an increase over last year. Marketings in Aug- ust were 7.4 per cent above market- ings in August, 1948, while in July they were 6 per cent below (in Family Faces Winter In Tent # Canada's housing problem has reached the ultimate for the Killen family of Trafalgar Township, Ont.

The whitefish, used as food for the mink, died off due to lack of oxygen in the water during the winter months. Provincial game authorities say a heavy weed growth on the lake floor used up the oxy- gen in the water. As a result commercial fishing in the lake has been banned until the now-meagre whitefish colonies are once again in sufficient supply. Enough fish survived that authori- ties decided restocking would be un- necessary, and it is hoped the lake may be reopened to commercial fishing aagin next year. Meanwhile the mink industry is in the doldrums, Some ranchers even tried to fly flish into the area to feed the mink, but high trans- portation costs and falling mink prices made this impractical, Now many of the farmers have turned to raising alfalfa, waiting for the day when the lake's fish population gets back to normal.
