It would "have the 'Bank of Eng land publicly owned and there would be "public control" of all transport by road, rail and coastal shipping and puuuc uwnersmp ana operation oi an railways, n trie party returns to power in the near future the coal industry is to be nationalized as well as gas and electric services .and wages and working conditions of coal miners are to be improved In addition to all this the party plans to enforce by law a shorter working week. While this constitutes the program, it must not be expected that all the chances will be brought about in the life of one parliament, the experience of former labor governments was that comparatively little legislation of a radical nature was passed by parliament. As a matter oi tact, Conservative governments have passed as much radical legislation as did the laborites. In dealing with these large questions it has been found desirable to move slowly and with caution so that there mav be no violent reaction. It is necessary to look back to the political history of many countries to see how fickle is the general public and how easily they are stampeded. Elections are easy to win but, as in the case of Alberta, realization of political ambitions is slow in coming. Will Canada Be French? It has been figured out by statisticians that, at the present rate of increase, if it continues, the French Cana dian people will have overtaken the English-speaking population in less than one hundred years. As everyone knows, large families are the rule in Quebec but thero is always the possibility that the prejudice against large families may spread from Ontario into Quebec and there may oe a slowing up ot the birth rate among the French .speaKing peoples. At any rate these conditions always ad just themselves. If the French increase in nonulation suf ficiently to overcome the English speaking majority, there is a possibility that the large family idea may spread westward and the French predominance be headed off. At any rate nothing important will happen if the habitants continue as at present and we find we have to bow to a French speaking majority. We shall still be Canada even though we may have to write ourselves DOES YOUR FLOOlt COVERING LOOK DRAB? Have it Renewed With DOMINION LINOLEUM It's easy to keep clean.
