Dhar Prime Minister Ill-Advised In Calling August Election The mystery which surrounded selec- tion of the date for the coming federal election has been cleared up by the an-, nouncement of Prime Minister St. Laurent that the people of Canada will go to the polls on August 10. We might qualify that by saying that all who are not away on holidays, or who return from their holidays for the specific purpose, will vote on that day. It is difficult to understand why the Prime Minister, in the face of all the cri- ticism that has been levelled at the possi- bility of an August election, should persist in holding it on the date selected. We doubt if there could be a worse month of the year in which to hold a federal general "election. It is bad both for the industrial centres and for the agricultural areas. The month of August is generally re- garded as vacation month in industry. Hundreds of thousands of workers, busi- ness and professional as well as industrial, will be away on vacation on election day. We doubt if many of them would be suf- ficiently seized with a sense of public duty to break their holidays and return home for the purpose of voting. They will thus be deprived of their privilege of casting their ballots because of the selection of a date which conflicts with holidays. In the prairie provinces, harvesting operations will be in full sying at the time of the election campaign and of voting, and the same will be true to some extent in Ontario. Political leaders, realizing that this would keep large numbers away from the polls on voting day, have steered clear of harvest time as a suitable period for an election. Mr. St. Laurent has gone completely against this practice, and agriculturists will have just as much rea- son for feeling aggrieved as the industrial worker on vacation, However, the date is fixed, unwise as it may be, and the electors of Canada have placed on their shoulders the responsi- bility of voting to elect their next parlia- ment, regardless of what personal sacri- fices might be involved in doing their duty as electors of a democratic country. U.S. Tariffs and Canada's Trade When General Eisenhower and the Re- publican Party won a landslide victory in the United States elections last Novem- ber, there were many in this country who expressed fears as to the effect of the change in government on Canada's trade with the country to the south. It was pointed out that the Republican party was traditionally a party of high tariffs, of _ absolute protection for American industry , and American products. That a return of the traditional Republican policies would be harmful to this country was the fear whieh prevailed at that time. Events are proving that there were good grounds for these fears. In spite of General Eisenhower's statements that he favored freer channels of trade between the United States and other countries, especially Canada, his party in Congress is going ahead laying foundations for a policy of higher tariffs and greater trade restrictions. They do not seem to realize that such a policy is short-sighted, that restriction of trade is bound to hurt their own country if carried to the extreme that some of them wish to carry it. It is natural that the Canadian govern- ment should protest against any United States measures which are detrimental to Canada's volume of exports to the United States, Under the General Agreements on Trade and Tariffs negotiated at an in- ternational conference, the United States was pledged to reduce tariffs to encourage freer trade. The present policy is just the opposite of that. The United States cannot expect to benefit from the pro- visions of this agreement while at the same time denying 'its benefits to other countries. For the sake of maintaining the economic health of the whole world, Canada and the other nations joined in this agreement would do well to make the strongest possible protest to President Eisenhower. To Study Alcohol and Road Traffic The second International Conference on Alcohol and Road Traffic, which will study ways and means of reducing motor vehicle accidents involving use of alcohol, is to be held in Toronto in September. Under the sponsorship of the Ontario government and the University of Toronto, the conference is expected to bring to- gether experts on this vital subject from all parts of the world. It is anticipated that an opportunity will thus be afforded to learn what is being done to cope with the problem of alcohol and traffic acci- dents, legislation, education and enforce- ment. Included among 600 experts from 20 na- tions expected at the conference will be medical, legal, safety, insurance and law enforcement experts. Anything that can be learned which would serve to solve the complexities of motoring, aggravated by the consumption of alcohol by car drivers, would be of un- told value to the people of this city and country. Editorial Notes The Soviet is now allowing the Russian wives of foreign citizens to leave the coun- try. That surely marks a radical change in Soviet policy, and for the better.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR MAY 12,214 Ontario, 225 There can be no doubt that the schedul- ed conference is undertaking a difficult task in essaying to find a solution to this very serious problem. Whether a person drinks or not before getting behind the wheel of a car is a matter of personal con- duct resulting from habit or, in many in- stances conformity to modern social standards. The old saying that "one man's meat is another man's poison" never ap- plied more truly to food than it does to drink. The ability of one person to handle a stated amount of liquor, with or without impairment of their driving or other func- tions, is something which could be debat- ed to no end. However it is not our purpose to ques- tion the possibility of much good coming from the proposed conference in Septem- ber. On the contrary we sincerely hope it will result in light being thrown on a very vital problem of the day. If means to reduce the contribution of alcohol to traf- fic accidents can be evolved the gathering will perform a wonderful service to the people of this and other countries. Other Editors' Views WHY KEEP ON ADVERTISING? (Executive Digest) Once, when William Wrigley, the chewing gum king, was riding an airliner, his seat companion said, "I can't understand why you keep pouring millions of dollars every year into advertising. Everybody knows about your product." Mr. Wrigley thought for a moment, "How fast would you say this plane was travelling?" "About 300 miles an hour." "In that case," said Mr. Wrrigley, "why doesn't the pilot just throw avay the engine and let the plane continue on its own momentum?" Bible Thought "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and cver; sceptre of Thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Thy deminion endureth throughout all generations." (Psalm 45:6; 145:13.) Some day we shall hear "great voices in heaven, saying, 'Thy kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever «+ « We give Thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy great power, and hast reigned.'

GLEWIS CARROLL) GALLUP POLL OF CANADA British Conservative Party Takes Firm Lead Over Labor By BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Sir Winston Churchill's Conser- vative party in Britain has been gradually gaining voter support and today, for the first time since the last general election, holds a firm lead over Labor. The British Institute of Public Opinion's latest survey was senti- ment am those expressing an prinion, dividing as follows: "If there were a general elec- tion tomorrow, how would you vote?" . Conservative, 50.5 per cent. Labor, 47.0 per cent. Liberal and other, 2.5 per cent. Total, 100 per cent. A total of 13.5 per cent were undecided as to their choice of party. In the 1951 general election, La- bor nosed out the Conservatives in the popular vote, but the Con- servatives won the most seats and took over the government. Labor started to gain in popularity im- mediately following the election and reached a high point of 52.5 per cent against the Conservative's 45.0 per cent in July, 1952. Then the monthly surveys of the British Institute began to show a decline in Labor's 'strength. In March of this year, Labor still .. enjoyed a 2-point lead, however. That has been erased and the Conservatives have forged ahead by 3.5 percentage points in today's survey. One reason for the dropping off of Labor support is found in a survey of British views on national- ization of industries today. Britishers were asked: "What are your views about nationaliza- tion? Do you think there should be more nationalization, more de- nationalization, or should things be left as they are?" More nationalization, 12 per cent. More de-nationalization, 28 per cent. Left as they are, 40 per cent. 'Don't know, 20 per cent. Total, 100 per cent. Further evidence of the popular- ity of the Conservative govern- ment is seen in the fact that six out of every 10 British voters ex- press satisfaction today with the government's record up to now. The question: "Are you satisfied or dissatis- fied with the government's record to date?" : Satisfied, 60 per cent. Dissatisfied, 27 per cent. Don't know, 13 per. cent. Total, 100 per cent. (World Copyright Reserved) ... READERS' VIEWS About Free Enterprise, Taxes and Rent Control The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir, -- Free enterprise has made Canada the great progressive na- tion that it is today. In an uncon- trolled economy men have buflt industries, chain stores and, speci- alty shops large and small. They have built office buildings, hotels and dwelling houses. Manufactur- ers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers have grown with an ex- anding Canada because they en- Joyed the benefits of a natural economy." The printing business, insurance business, the grocery business, the agricultural business and a thousand others form the backbone of our national and local economy. And why is this so? It is so because they have had the right of free enterprise -- the right to make a profit according to the laws of competition, and accord- ing to the law of supply and de- mand. Do all Canadians enjoy the bene- fits of free 'enterprise today? We blush to say it, we blush to write it, we blush even to think it; but it is a fact that all do not. There is a great class, the most stable, the most loyal and the most patriotic class in the nation that is being discriminated against: it's the property owner, the landlord. Th2 grocer may sell his groceries according to the law of competi- tion. The automobile manufacturer may do the same thing, and does. The druggist may mark up his commodities 50, 100 or 150 per cent --all that the "traffic will bear". The newspaper publisher is at liberty to increase the price of his paper and his advertising rates. But is the "squeezed" landlord able to raise his rents to meet advancing costs? He certainly is not. If he does he is in trouble with the Rent Control Board. Why this injustice? Why this un- fairness? Why this discrimination? Why is it that with today's high Bankers' Group wages the landlord is compelled by law to house a tenant at anything less than the competitive value of his commodity? In other words, why is the landlord forced, against his will, to support the tenant, in any part at all, who in many cases is making more money per day, money per month and more money per year than is the landlord him- self? Why is the landlord put under discriminatory law? Why is he not permitted "to enjoy the same right of "free enterprise" that every oth- er business man in Oshawa en- joys? Who builds the city buildings: the fire house, the police station, the city hall, the municipal offices and the public schools? Who pays the firemen, the policemen, and every city officer and employee? Who maintains the public library, the welfare service, the public parks? To put it bluntly: Who puts his hand in his pocket every year to the tune of several hundred dol- lars for the support of the City Administration -- the tenant or the landlord? It won't take a ten-story intellect to come up with the ans- wer to that question. All know it is the landlord, the property owner. And he does it, generally speaking, without too much complaint. He recognizes the right of taxation, but he denies the right of the gov- ernment to discriminate against him in the sale of his commodity in Canada, the nation of tradition- ally free enterprise. There is an old fable told of an unwise man who killed the goose that laid the golden egg. It is to be hoped that the Oshawa City Fath- ers will not be so unwise. It is to be hoped that they will "unfetter" the "landlord" goose, who will then without too much "honking and hissing' about it continue to lay his annual golden egg into the nest of the City Treasurer.

Andrew's MAC'S MUSINGS We notice that in Oakville Some of the loveliest Gardens in the district Are being thrown open For public inspection On payment of a small fee The proceeds of which go To help with the work of Their Memorial Hospital. Thus a double purpose Is served by those who Generously open up their Gardens to the public Because they are able to View all their loveliness =" And at the same time Contribute financially To a worthy cause. This is not altogether A new idea because we Noticed over in Britain Even in wartime, that It was an established Custom at certain times Of the year for gardens To be opened up to the Public in this way, In aid of worthy causes. We mention this because It is a splendid idea And one which might be Copied in any community Where there are gardens Of exceptional beauty Which the general public Would like to see, and For this privilege they Would be only too willing To contribute their mites To support worthy causes. And we mention it, also With a vein of curiosity To find out whether there Are any people here with Gardens out of the ordinary Who would be willing to Pioneer such a venture To assist some good cause In this community. deer and moose, closing Nov. 17 for deer and Dec. 15 for moose.
