J3S
Saturday,

UNITED
STATES
POLITICS
Belying
the
theory
that
when
a
party
is
in
power
in
the
Dominion
it
is
liable
to
weaken
in
the
provinces,
the
tight
little
island
of
Prince
Edward
has
ousted
its
Liberal
government,
which
had
a
large
margin
in
the
provincial
legislature
last
session,
and,
with
no
uncertain
voice,
has
estab
lished
a
Conservative
government
in
its
place.
Although
Prince
Edward
Island
is
only
a
tiny
portion
of
this
great
Dominion,
Conservatives
will,
no
doubt,
derive
some
satisfaction
out
of
the
result
of
Thursday's
election
there.
It
is
not
for
us
to
say
they
are
not
justified
and
entitled
to
feel
that
way
about
it.
Anyway,
Prince1
Edward
Island
was
the
second
to
the
last
remaining
Liberal
government
in
all
of
Canada.
In
ancient
Quebec
only
does
the
Grand
Old
Party
survive
today
and
even
there
later
this
month
there
is
to
be
the
test
of
a
general
election.
"While
nobody
seriously
expects
to
see
the
Liberals
go
out
of
power
in
Quebec,
it
Is
quite
logical
to
anticipate
that
the
cumbersome
majority
now
heloby
the
administration
of
Premier
Taschereau
in
the
legislature
will
be
materially
cut
down.
Mr.
Taschereau
himself
has
admitted
that
it
might
be
better
if
there
were
a
stronger
opposition.
In
addition
to
that,
the
Conservative
party
today
enjoys
in
Quebec,
the
leadership
of
Mayor
Camilien
Houde
of
Montreal,
one
of
the
most
popular
men
and
best
organizers
in
the
province.
In
inite
of
what
Quebec
may
do,
however,
it
must
be
admitted
that
the
Conservative
sun
is
much
in
the
ascendency
today
in
Canada
despite
the
present
hard
times.
There
will
be
a
turning
some
day,
however,
and
the
Liberals
will
just
have
to
be
patient
even
if
it
may
be
a
few
years
before
they
will
be
back
on
an
even
or
better
footing
than
the
Conservatives.
It
is
all
in
the
fortunes
of
war,
anyway.
WALTER
LOCKE
ON
RUSSIA
Soviet
Russia,
with
its
strenuous
attempt
to
chance
hand-minded
millions
into
machine-minded
men
under
the
so-called
five-year
plan,
presents
a
supreme
economic
challenge
to
the
rest
of
the
world.
Such
are
the
conclusions
of
Walter
Locke,
editor
of
the
Dayton.
Ohio.
Dailv
News,
following
a
tour
of
the
Soviet
Republic.
Writing
under
the
caption
"An
American
Looks
at
Russia,"
in
the
current
Rotarian
Magazine,
he
notes
these
facts
about
Russia.
Its
wheat
or
its
virgin
timber
lands
are
equal
in
area
to
the
entire
United
States.
Its
products
range
from
the
cotton
of
Turkestan
to
the
furs
of
the
Arctic.
Its
present
population
is
162,000,000
as
many
people
as
are
in
the
whole
United
States
and
France.
At
the
present
rate
of
increase,
Russia
will
have
nearly
200,000,000
people
in
twenty
years.
"Russia,"
Mr.
Locke
concludes,
''is
what
it
is.
We
could
not
change
it
if
we
would.
We
can
only
keep
cool,
and
calmly
adjust
ourselves
to
whatsoever
we
see
and
foresee
there.
"If
Russia
is
to
flood
the
world
with
wheat,
the
United
States
along
with
other
nations
must
make
plans
accordingly.
If
Russia
with
its
tremendous
resources
is
to
flood
the
world
with
wood
and
minerals
and
industrial
goods,
we
must
be
ready
to
adjust
ourselves
to
this
fact.
''Russia
and
the
United
States
and
other
nations
are
co-inheritors
of
the
earth.
No
one
can
escape
the
other.
This
shrunken
planet
must
house
them
all.
"Can
powerful
peoples,
with
their
seemingly
incompatible
social
arid
economic
systems,
find
a
way
to
share
the
world
in
peace?
Surely,
no
other
present
situation
has
bound
up
in
it
so
much
of
the
future
fate
of
the
world,
so
tough
a
test
of
common
sense."

district
to
get
into,
it
is
improbable
that
any
of
the
early
projectors
spent
much
time
there.
