As the smoke clears it iooks as though the new ‘hief executive will be confronted with a Congress venly divided between Republicans and Democrats to the last man. Were Eisenhower a full- own Republican, the prospect no doubt would be a discouraging one. While the President has a certain xecutive independence of Congress, the time comes ooner or later when party support is needed to put major decisions into effect. Truman encountered his painful fact during his first term in office when he GOP had Congressional control. nost t In Eisenhower’s own political creed, however, is a division through the middle which is almost as distinct as that in the new Congress. To agree with the more orthodox Republican policies of Taft was obviously painful to him, and he made gestures fh that direction only fer the ap- parent purpose of keeping the party intact through the election. It is now evident, however, that what- ever continuing influence Taft may have will be greatly moderated by the presence of all those Democrats in the House and Senate. nere To Eisenhower such a state of affairs can mean nothing but happiness. His only concern now is like- ly to be that some of the key positions will fall to a few isolationists who can put a crimp in his foreign policy, which has no more resemblance to anything Republican than a donkey has to an elephant. In Canada, as well as in other countries, the huffle for power will be watched almost as closely in the U.S. itself. There is, in fact, a substantia! chance that the results may cancel in Ottawa any notions of calling an election this spring. It will be many months yet before the picture is ufficiently clear in the States to allow the Domin- ion government to settle on any fixed course of in- ternational policy. The Smoot-Hawley tariff of the last Republican administration still arouses uneasy memories at Ottawa, and it remains te be seen whether or not its ghost will rise again to become an issue in the next election. Another possible cause for hesitation is that change is often infectious. Conceivably the upset in the States could create a restless frame of mind this side of the border, From the Liberal point of view, therefore, it would seem that now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party by holding their horses. a Punishment Doesn't Reform RISON riots in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebee, and the jail-break of the Boyd gang, have caused Ontario to take a step in the handling of con- viets which is in complete contradiction to the modern trend in penal reform. The plan of that province is to build what is described as a “maximum security” penal institu- tion. According to Reform Institution Minister J. W. Foote, this present-day Bastille will offer no recreation, no training program and no “pampering and frills.” Although the rash of prison outbreaks in this country and the States has assumed serious propor- tions, it is by no means clear that correction lies in a backward direction. On the contrary, it would ap- pear that these prisons where trouble has occurred are institutions which have failed to keep pace with the times. “It has been amply demonstrated that punish- ment and repression do not lead to reform,” says the Canadian Welfare Couneil at Ottawa. “Reform flourishes where restraint is at a minimum. The value of open institutions has been shown in Great Britain’s borstals, in British Columbia’s forestry camps, and in the American federal prison system whose director asserts that fewer than one-third of the inmates are in maximum security institutions.” If, by “pampering,” Mr. Foote means the. be- havior of corrupt guards, he is certainly right in trying to eliminate it. But care. should be taken not to confuse this with an enlightened attitude which may turn a prisoner into a decent citizen, | Wheat Crisis Seen in Huge Surplus Stock By HAROLD MORRISON | Canadian Press Staff Write The world is slowly but surely heading for a crisis in wheat The problem: too much wheat chasing too few dollars It threatens to become one of the biggest fights involving | wheat prices.
