SOCIALISM TEST

0ld Line Parties Prepare to Answer Challenge in

Spring Elections.

OTTAWA, Nov. 10.—~When Canadian voters go to the polls in federal elections which must be held before late spring, the key issue is whether the country will go socialist. . Premier MacKenzie King's Liberal government has been in power since the Conservatives ‘were turned out in 1935, and the Conservatives, with a liberalized plat form and new leadership, are making a determined bid for power again but, for the first time, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation offers a sefious challenge to both old line parties, In 1935, the C. C, F. was a negligible factor. In 1940, when King was returned to power, the C. C. F, won just eight seats. In subsequent byelections, however, four more seats have gone to the frankly socialistic C. C. FP. The senior parties appreciate the threat, and with ammunition provided by heavy industry and

under socialism, the big guns have opened a full barrage on the challenger, and with due reason,

Liberals Lose Seats

A year ago, provincial elections were held in Canada’s most developed province, Ontario. The Liberals were driven from office and the Conservatives moved in, It was not simply a party switch, however. The Conservatives won 37 seats, but in second place came the C, C. F. with 34, Liberals trailing with 15, The trend was explained by party spokesmen as due to political. consciousness whipped up in_ industrial centers by high pressure labor or-

happen, they suggested, in a. place like Saskatchewan, where the prop-erty-owning farmer is supreme, But, in June, the farmers in the heart of the national grain belt went to the polls after hearing of the danger of confiscation and expropriation hanging over them if the C. C. F. were elected. And the farmers ended an almost’ uninterrupted Liberal sway, dating from 1906, to give the C. CO. F. 47 of the legislature's 52 seats,

British Columbia Results

. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, the C. C. F. captured the popular vote, but won only 16 seats to the Liberals’ 20. In Manitoba, where a coalition government has extended the life of the legislature, no elec-

figures on socialist representation mean little, in view of the strong organization now existing there, In Alberta, Social Credit——still inoperative—continues firmly in control. Quebec is politically aparé from the rest of the country with its half dozen distinctive parties, and while the Roman Catholic church this year gave its adherents freedom of action, it made little headway in summer elections. Simlarly, it has made little progress in the Maritimes, with the -exception of labor-conscious Nova Scotia. Now the eyes of the nation are fixed on the socialist laboratory which is Saskatchewan, where bantam-sized T. C. Douglas, 37-year-old Baptist parson, is guiding C. C. F. through its first legislative program. From the ,outset he has contended the socialists plan no great expropriation program, but has warned that “commencement of large-scale undertakings may be discouraged in favor of public or co-operative ownership.”

Five-Year Mandate While his mandate is for five years, Douglas has promised to call Jan election in 1948. Meanwhile, his first year’s program calls for no expropriation and the most socialistic of its bills are two providing for government - owned packing plants and a provincial insurance company. Other key legislation makes collective bargaining and paid vacations’ compulsory, and compels mortgagees to share crop failure risks. Teachers are to get higher salaries and the government ministers have voted themselves a salary cut of $1000 per: year. When the federal elections come, the C.C.F. will be led by M. J, Cold~ well, a precise, urbane, 56-year-old former school teacher, who says that his party is socialistic “in exactly the same manner as the labor

wealth,” already in power in New Zealand and Australia and resurgent in Britain, The Conservatives, renamed the 2rogressive-Conservatives, will be led -by John Bracken, one-time leader of a protest party and latterly Liberal premier of Manitoba, who swung steadily to the right during his 21 years in office in the ‘west. © Premier King will lead the Liberals. It will probably be King's last campaign. He will be T0 next month and is ready to retire after serving as Premier for 18 of the last 23 years.
