DAILY EDITION The Home of Good Shoes EDITORIAL Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations TUESDAY, FEB. 10, 1942. Results of By-Elections . . . The results of at least three of the by-elections held in eastern Canada yesterday indicated, if nothing else, the steady determination of the voters not to disturb the present government in its work of carrying on the business of the country which business at the present time is. of course, almost exclusively concerned with the prosecution of the war effort. The majority of the voters concerned in these elections, despite the conflicting issues and diverting arguments which were brought before them, showed unwillingness to embark upon anything jn the way of political experimentation at this critical time. With the endorsation of the two new cabinet ministers Mr. Mitchell, minister of labor, in Wel-land. and Mr. St. Laurent, the minister of justice, in Que bec East the political situation in the government is stabilized. Surprising to many was the defeat of Senator Arthur Meighen for Youth South seat in parliament. This was a bad blow for the Conservative party and, of course, eliminates Mr. Meighen .finally from active public life. As for Montreal-St. Mary, where there was no official government candidate, it is notable that the candidate most sympathetic to the government was Reasonable Criticism Reasonable criticism must always be expected but military criticism is always difficult because information is usually incomplete. That is why it is desirable to give the public as much information as possible as long as it is consistent with public safety and does not give information that may be useful to the enemy. It seems that just recently there was a shortage of rifles for Canadian soldiers and in some cases obsolete weapons were handed out to them. The matter was aired in parliament and it was found that the new Canadian rifles had been sent to Singapore where they were badly needed. We think that Canadians will be glad that they were able to provide effective weapons for the troops ' who are holding the British fortress against the hordes of brown men now attacking. Even if they do not succeed in keeping the Japanese out we shall feel glad that they were given at least a fighting chance as a result of the efforts of Canadian factories. Where Is Best Point? It is quite impossible for we arm chair critics to describe where our men or munitions shall be used to best effect. We look across at Libya and wonder if the best possible use is being made of the men and material avail able. We hear that some of these are being sent to Russia and wonder if instead they should not have gone to Libya. Qur leaders have made certain promises of help to Russia and we agree that these promises must be kept, if it is possible to do so. The Russians are doing glorious work and so are the troops in North Africa. Our leaders see the whole picture while we see only a small part. Let us trust them and believe that while they sometimes may make mistakes they are doing the best they know how. Not Asked to Give . . . Just now we are being asked to loan to the limit of our money so that no man may be without the best possible weapon when the day of trial arrives. We are not being asked to give any money. If our cash is in the bank it is drawing probably one and a half percent interest. The government is offering three percent. It does not need the patriotic urge to buy that way. We can scarcely look upon ourselves as patriots if we invest that way. Let us help buy a few more rifles, a few machine guns and at the same time improve our own financial position. ; PREMIER 4 Most" PeopltLj'iton'j "Know About Successor to Mr. Kin?. TQRQNTQ. Feb. 10 - The Rt. lion. Arthur Meighen, Defence Minjster James L. Ralston apd1 Ontario Premier Mitchell Hepburn receive the largest number of mentions in a nation-wide surrey by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion, designed to discover which men stand out in the pub Hons than for its picture of Cana- 1 dian thinking at this moment. Using a question which has also been asked in Britain by the British Institute of Public Opinion, the present survey asked a cross- section of the Canadian voting i public: "If anything should happen to Mr. King, is there any pne yqu would particularly like to see succeed him?" No list of names or other sug gestions were put before the in-1 dividual voter, so that the replies are entirely spontaneous. Apart from the fact that Mr. Meighen, Colonel Ralston and Premier Hepburn received the largest number of mentions, the most noteworthy finding is that more than half of those Interviewed 55 to be exact were undecided on the question or had no suggestion to advance. Without Definite Choices The actual vote for the leaders was as follows: Mentioning Arthur Meighen 9 Colonel Ralston 8 Premier Hepburn 5 M. J.'Coldwell, C.C.F. leader 3 Air Minister C. G. Power 3 Col. George A. Drew : 2 Others 16 Undecided or no opinion 55 Among the other Canadian figures mentioned by rank-and-file voters were: Minister of Agriculture James Q. Gardiner: Supply Minister C. D. Howe; Transport Minister Pierre Cardin; J. F. Pouliot, M.P.; Premier John Bracken of Manitoba; Navy Minister Angus MacDonald;j Hon. R. B. Hanson, M.P.; forjner ! Premier R. B. Bennett; former Conservative Party Leader Robert Manion; Finance Minister Jame3 L. Ilsley, and Premier Adelard Godbout, of Quebec. Scattered votes were also given in the survey to General Mc-Naughton; Resources Minister T. A. Crerar; Hon. Maxime Raymond, M.P.; Justice Minister Louis S. St. Laurent; Premier William Aber-hart of Alberta; J. S. Woodswprth, M.P.; Pensions Minister Ian Mackenzie, and others. How Conservatives Voted Analysis of the results on a party basis shows Conservatives listing Mr. Meighen far ahead of all other possibilities. Colonel Ralston, Colonel George Drew and Premier Hepburn were pthers sharing a substantial portion of the Conservative's vote, .As a member of the Liberal party, of course, Colonel Ralston also stood high on the list named by Liberals. In order, the leaders were: Colonel Ralston, premier Hepburn, Mr. Meighen and Mr. Power.

' Virtually all similar studies of ppiiUcal thinking in Britain and the United States testify to the fact that unless the public is faced .with an imminent change of par ty government, or other political denouement, a substantial number of voters will be undecided or reserve their opinions in such sur veys. Hence observers of public opinion trends will not regard the present "no opinion" vote as necessarily unusual.
