A
Canadian
Politics
CONFIDENT
CANADA
conies
to
the
thresh
old
of
1947
after
a
year
of
vital
developments
and
decisions
which
left
a
historic
mark
on
the
Dominion's
1946
political
scene.
In
the
wake
of
the
old
year
lies
the
still-unfinished
story
of
Soviet
espionage,
the
collapse
of
the
Dominion-Provincial
conference,
government
defeat
in
three
federal
by-elections,
steps
to
select
a
distinctive
Canadian
flag
and
passage
by
parliament
of
a
Canadian
citizenship
bill
and
a
heavy
sate
of
other
important
government
legislation.
Ahead,
the
new
year
promises
another
lengthy
and
decisive
parliamentary
session,
new
tests
of
the
government's
post-war
programs
and
increasing
Canadian
activity
in
the
international
sphere.
For
1946,
the
most
stunning
development
of
all
was
the
Russian
spy
inquiry
which
echoed
within
the
walls
of
parliament
itself
when
it
resulted
in
the
arrest
and
conviction
of
the
lone
Labor-Progressive
member,
Fred
Rose,
and
touched
off
through
its
cither
ramifications
long,
.and
at
times
bitter,
debates.
Iu
all,
parliament
sat
hV
months
from
March
to
August
and
its
debates
covered
a
wide
range
of
subjects
in
the
national
and
international
fields.
Included
among
the
most
important
bills
passed
by
the
Commons
and
the
Senate
were
those
which
did
these
things:
Clearly
defined
Canadian
citizenship
;
extended
a
$1,250,000,000
loan
to
Britain;
provided
for
a
redistribution
which
will
boost
the
Commons
membership
from
245
to
255;
approved
Canadian
participation
in
several
international
organizations;
established
an
atomic
energy
control
board;
approved
trrde
treaties
with
Mexico
and
Colombia,
and
strengthened
the
Combines
Investigations
Act.
In
addition,
a
parliamentary
committee
recommended
the'adoption
of
a
revamped
version
of
the
Canadian
eisign
as
a
distinctive
Canadian
flag
but
its
report
was
not
acted
upon
before
prorogation.
Another
committee
tussled
unsuccessfully
with
the
disturbing
problem
of
industrial
unrest.
Outside
parliament,
the
government
took
drastic
action
to
protect
the
nation's
economy
against
external,
inflationary
tendencies
by
adjusting
the
Canadian
dollar
to
parity
with
the
United
States
dollar.
-
There
were
three
by-elections,
caused
by
deaths
and
a
retirement.
Progressive
Conservative
candidates
were
victorious
in
Portage
la
Prairie,
former
Liberal
seat,
and
Toronto
Parkdale,
formerly
Progressive
Conservative,
while
a
Social
Credit
adherent,
won
Pontiac,
which
had
been
in
the
Lib-eraVcolumn.
As
the
yaar-end

the
death

Hon.
P.

A.
Cardin,

independent.
.
Death
of
Mr.
Cardin,
whose
service
in
the
Commons
spamied
35
years,
left
Prime
Minister
Mackenzie
King,
who
has
sat
in
the
house
29
years,
the
member
with
the
longest
service.
Mr.
King,
now
72,
in
1046
also
entered
his
20th
year
as
prime
minister,
breaking
the
record
of
tenure
for
all
commonwealth
prime
ministers
over
the
last
two'
centuries.
Federal
cabinet
changes
in
the
last
month
of
the
year
saw
Justice
Minister
St.
Laurent,
who
had
been
also
administering
the
department
of
external
affairs
since
Sept.
4,
resign
from
the
justice
.ministry
and
take
on
the
external
affairs
post
on
a
full-time
basis.
James
L.
Ilsley
transferred
from
finance
to
the
ministry
of
justice
and
Douglas
C.
Abbott
became
minister
of
finance.
Mr.
Abbott
retains
the
joint
nrnry-navy
defence
post
on
a
temporary
basis.
-S'Jhe
passing
year
saw
worsening
of

er$,
government
sought
a
realignment
of
financial
responsibility
between
the
Dominion
and
the
provinces.
Now
it
seems
likely
the
conference
will
be
revived
and,
with
a
new
minister
of
finance,
prospects
for
a
successful
outcome
appear
improved.
Meantime
there
is
the
federal
budget
offer
of
individual
agreements
with
the
provinces,
which
took
the
form
of
new
financial
agreements
with
several
provinces,
including
British
Columbia,
toward
the
close
of
the
year.

SAVING
IN
AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY,
Australia
B
The
New
South
Wales
state
education
department
has
established
what
it
claims
to
be
the
first
sight-saving
school
in
Australia.
The
school,
in
operation
in
Sydney,
is'
attended
by
16
pupils,
aged
nine
to
13,
selected
after
a
medical
purvey
of
school
children
in
the
metropolitan
area
showed
that
up
to
nine
per
cent
have
defective
eyesight.
The
selected
children
have
defective
eyesight
in
varying
degrees.
Most
of
them
wear
spec
tacles
and
their
common
com
plaint
is
short-sightedness.
The
aim
of
the
school
is
to
preserve
their
existing
eyesight
and
restore
sight
to
normal
as
far
as
possible.
Special
fluorescent
lighting
is
used
and
the
children
work
at
adjustable
desks
permitting
them
to
get
close
to
their
work
or
away
from
it
as
their
affliction
demands.
Their
work
is
set
approximately
at
right
angles
to
their
line
of
vision,
and
specially-
selected
teachers
are
well-versed
in
their
handicaps
individually.
"Blackboards"
are
of
ground
glass
in
dark
green
and
primrose
yellow.
Blue
chalk
is
used
on
the
primrose
"blackboard"
and
ye!-lew
chalk
on
the
green
"blackboard."
Children
with
short
sight
are
given
thick
pencils
and
thick
pen
nibs
and
are
taught
to
write
in
big,
bold
characters.
The
education
department
intends
to
establish
other
sight-saving
schools
