DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for OCTOBER 11,345 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1951 "3 Political Independence Two university debating teams recently debated the question of the degree to which a man could be independent in his political life and still retain the goodwill and the sup- port of his party, so necessary to his elec- tion. This hardly seems to us to be a sub- ject requiring much debate, because under our party system of government in Canada, the man who is independent never goes any- where, and exercises very little influence in affairs of government. If he happens to have been elected as a supporter of a particular party, and then exercises his independence to speak or vote against it and its policies, then his political career can be regarded as being close to an end. As a matter of fact, under the party system as it operates in Canada, there is no room for political independence. The candi- date who seeks election as an independent, without ties to any political party, has very little chance of ever being elected. He can succeed only where there are local considera- tions of sufficient importance to influence the result. If by €hance he is elected, he isa lone voice in the wilderness, and none of the parties will pay much attention to what that voice says. The member of parliament or of a legisla- ture who is elected as a party candidate, and then seeks to adopt an independent role, is in very much the same position. Party leaders are .not inclined to look kindly on political roamers, nor, indeed, are the elec- tors. And once a member has kicked over the party traces, then he need not ex- pect td be favored again with the party nomination. We have seen that happen in so many cases in recent years that it can well be established as a fact. The man who kicks over she party traces on scaie issue may for a time be regarded 2s » political hero, but before long he will find himself outside the party door, unmourned and un- wanted. Maybe it is a good thing that under a party system, loyalty to the party is essen- tial. It does at least let the electors know where their member stands. They will know that when he is elected as supporter of a specific party, he will stand loyally by the policies of that party, which, afte. all, is what he was elected to.do. Aad it is only because of loyalty to party that our present system of government can function. There could be no stability of governmert if mem- bers became political jumping-jacss support- ing or opposing their party at will. The Voice of Britain One certain result of the recent election in Britain and the =ccession of Winston Churchill to the office of Prime Minister is that the voice of Grea! Britain will be heard with more assurance and emphasis than has been the case during the past six years. His predecessor, Clement Attlee, is a man of many fine qualities, but during his whole term of office he never raised his voice to such an extent thac it' would be said he was giving his country dynamic leadership. On the contrary, he brought British state- manship in world affairs to the lowest point it has reached within the present century. It has almost seemed, during the Socialist regime, that its leaders were fearful of mak- ing their- voices heard in the realm of inter- national affairs. That will never be said of a government which is headed by Winston Churchill, The new British Prima Minister has the advantage of long association with world problems, and of working them out with the leaders of other great powers. He has an intense pride in the place which 'Britain can and should occupy in the world, and he will never stand back and allow his country to be trampled under féot or even ignored. He will not compromise where the honor and dignity of Britain are chzllenged: It is because of (his - that. Churchill will stand up boldly for British rights that his opponents termed him a warmonger. But there is a 'great difference between ly- ing down in the face of all attacks on Britain, just to preserve peace, and on determining to be so strong that these-attacks will not be made. Under Churchill, rearmament will not suffer, and one can be sure that Britain will take a much more positive stand for a recognized place in world affairs than has been the case under Attlee. Defeat The Communists While this newspaper takes an independent stand on matters of partisan politics in the present election campaign in Ontario, it has no hesitation whatever in suggesting that the electors of those constituencies in which Communists are candidates make sure of de- feating the Reds on November 22. There will and St. Andrew's Ridings of Toronto where they are the sitting members. A Communist has been nominated in the Windsor-Walker- L ville constituency, and there are rumors that in Oshawa. ® We have no hesitation in asking for the defeat of the Communist candidates, because we do not consider them as bona fide mem- bers of a political party. The Labor-Progres- sive Party, which is the name they have adopted,fwas set up as a device to fool the public, to get rid of the stigma which is attached in the minds of all thinking Cana- dians to the name of Communist. Its mem- bers are enemies of the Canadian state, who by their allegiance to the Communist Party are committed to a Moscow-made scheme for the overthrow of the established form of government in Canada. We cannot help feel- ing that the elected Communist members must take the oath of allegiance to His Majesty the King with their tongues in their cheeks, or with some mental reservations. There is no place in the halls of the On- tario Legislature for members of that stamp. That they are in the field as candidates is a tribute to the extent of freedom enjoyed under Canadian democracy. But it would be a sad reflection on the electorate of the rid- ings they are contesting were any of them to be elected. If the people who are not Com- munists in these ridings would go out and exercise their franchise to the same degree as do the Communists and their fellow-tra- vellers, there would be no Reds in the next Legislature. Surely that is not too much to ask of the people of these ridings at a time when Communism is posing so great a threat to our way of life. Editorial Notes Now that snow has arrived, it will soon be time to start thinking about the Santa Claus Parade. * a The 1951 census shows Montreal to be Canada's first city to attain a population of cne million. We wonder if Toronto will have anything to say by way of rebuttal. $ * $+ The Vancouver Province points to a great improvement in paper bags. Bags that used to hold $5.00 worth of groceries will now hold $10.00 worth. : KA * * Horse meat has one real merit. It is about half the price of beef. Somehow we teel that even that advantage will never make it popular. e Other Editors' Views eo FACTOE IN MOST CRIMES (Temperance Advocate, Toronto) Newspaper reporters who, day after day, listen to the proceedings of Canadian courts, are convinced of two thifgs. Firstly, intoxicating beverages are a factor in a large percentage of crimes, minor and major, Secondly, abstinence from such beverages would} in most instances, have saved the guilty party from' committing the overt crimes. e A Bit of Verse @ WINDS OF REASON * Fog, the intruder on the autumn scene Moves earthward, mute and meaningful in flight And draws its mantle over gold and green, Leaving a wraithi-like universe of white Mountains, those stalwart guardians ef the dawn, Fade at a breath and strangely disappear, While tree and bush are shadows feebly drawn Upon a canvas sombre and austere. So fog that for a little while obscures The promised land and hides its starry goal, Like mist that slowly rises from the moors Is scattered wide as winds of reason roll And man, the chosen, wakes at last to claim The stair to paradise, with heart aflame.

QUEBEC FORTRESS The national historic park at Chambly, Quebec, commemorates the fort first built by the French in 1665. Mac's Musings In these'days of Ween Competition in business And industrial life, It is highly important That "each individual Starting out in life Finds his proper place In which to develop his Talents and capabilities So as to avoid becoming A misfit in vocation Or a square peg In a round hole. In former days when the Pace was not so rapid And when competition Was not quite so keen The subnormal and the Misfits managed to get Along not too badly But with high efficiency And skills demanded today They find the going hard Because they have not Found their proper niche. Often the blame is not Their own but rather That of parents who forced Them into a vocation for Which they were not fitted And so made life miserable ~ And unprofitable for them. With the work now being Done in vocational guidance In the schools of today There is less likelihood Of young people becoming Misfits, because teachers Are able to assess their Capabilities and talents And guide them into the Right fields of work. It is fine for parents To be concerned about Their children's future But not to the extent of Forcing them into some Occupation for which their Teachers find they have No natural aptitude, so In this it is essential That the horge and the School work' together. Life Savers Favor Using Water Skis Auckland, N.Z. (CP) Safety patrols on surfbeaches throughout New Zealand have adopted water skis as a major life - saving de- vice and their use is rapidly in- creasing. They are a development of the large Hawaiian surfboards. New Zealand surf skis are hol- low and about 13 feet long with a beam ranging from 30 inches to two feet. Most are several inches deep and made of plywood bound with resin. They were introduced to this country from Australia. Life-sav- ing here is done entirely by volun- tary patrols. Most large beaches have surf clubs; members of which are rostered throughout the sum- mer months for spells of duty. Until the introduction of surf skis, most clubs used belts with line and reel for all surf rescue work. The guard swam out to the surfer in difficulties and the two were hauled in by the line. This method is still favored for heavy surf, but in normal condi- tions guards paddling out by surf skies are able to effect a rescue much faster. The guard picks up the patient, places him across the skis and brings him ashore for re- suscitation if necessary. Large numbers of swimmers are re- scued by this method each season.

INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Cutting Down Cabinet By BERT PERRY Toronto -- Walter Thomson cer- tainly isn't at a loss for ideas. His latest is that he will cut the cabinet to 10 men. It's an idea that soundk good but we would like Walter to explain it a little more. In the first place' with 20 port- folios, inclusive of the premiership, in the government now this is go- ing to mean that each of his min- isters will handle two cabinet jobs. But there are certain portfolios that require the full attention of one man. Agriculture is definitely one. Health is another. Lands and Forests still another. And though George Doucett until recently has been running both Highways and Public Works, there has been crit- icism for some gime he had too much work to do. The same fol- lows with Education. Though both Premier Drew and Hon. Dana Por- ter headed it as part of a dual ministry, a great many people were not too happy about it. { This means that Mr. Thomsoff' would load certain men with a minor portfolio along with a major one, or he would have other min- isters carrying three of the minor ones. This might be possible, but we would say the Liberal leader isn't fully acquainted with either the scope of the work involved in the departments today or with certain political influences. Model School Built to Scale London (CP) -- A model nursery school, feature of a "new schools" exhibit here, was an eye-opener to parehts and educauonists. Every detail was in harmony and everything was fitted to a child's size and strength. The cloakroom was fitted with a small coatrack, miniature wash basins and towel rails. The class room walls were covered with gay murals, and all shelves and cup boards were placed at the right height for children under five years of age. Shining toys on the floor were all carefully chosen to instruct and train the child, avhile a colored asphalt playground had a sandpit, pool and climbing frame for the more adventurous types. ® 20 Years Ago Norman Irwin established a new apple packing and storage plant for the Redwing Orchards at Whitby. Repairs to the Oshawa harbor were completed by the Federal De- partment of Public Works, Women's Welfare: League report showed over 700 families assisted in the past year. Difference of opinion among en- gineers resulted in plans for the sewage disposal plant being de- ferred. Four hundred unemployed men were given work on: a big sewer project on Bloor Street. Over 100 members of the Cana- dian Legion paraded to Memorial Park and prevented a Communist meeting being held there by Com- munists from Toronto. MAKE RECORD CATCH Yarmouth, England (CP) -- A record catch of more than 26 mil- of 230 fishing boats here. Fisher- men said the fish were "moon struck" and came to the surface in large shoals. Chickens have the nasty habit of pecking each other's eyps when they get into a tiff. And once the flock sees blood they all pile in and make it a free- for-all. One farmer made them cut out the rough stuff by mak- ing "spectacles" of aluminum foil. No more trouble! We never know who will think up what new use for alu- minum. But we do know that the demand for this light, stfong, non-rusting metal keeps on going up and up and up. That's why Alcan is busy on new dams and power plants and smelters to further step up supply.
