The Daily News 6. A. HUNTER, Managing Editor EDITORIAL The Ottawa Issue . . . The issue which has resulted in the cabinet crisis at Ottawa with the resignation of Col. J. L. Ralston as minister of national defence and the appointment of General A. G. L. McNaughton as his successor is clear-cut enough. Col. Ralston favored the use of Home Defence call-up troops in any theatre of war. Gen. McNaughton favors the continuation of voluntary overseas" service. Prime Minister Mackenzie King and the majority of the cabinet did not agree with Col. Ralston so he resigned in support of his convictions. Quite possibly there may be resignations of other ministers on the same issue. The Prime Minister rightly enough paid tribute to the integrity of the retiring minister. No one who knows Col. Ralston could question his integrity or his strength of character. It is to be hoped that Gen. McNaughton will be as worthy and capable a successor. His position is not particularly to be envied for there may still be difficult times ahead before the war is over. The political situation at Ottawa for the time commands a large measure of interest and seems j fraught vith many possibilities. There are strong', convictions on the issue of unrestricted military service and quite possibly they may again transcend political lines as was the case back in the latter days of the First Great War. The Local Situation ... Meanwhile the local political situation, with the i certainty 'that an election will be held within the space of the next few months, remains unchanged with one party going ahead, and effectively sawing campaign wood while there appears difficulty in settling upon a good man to succeed Olof Hanson I who still appears obdurate in his declining to seek re-election. , Mr. Hanson has been such a good-member forms that naturally,there are few who feeljliat they could effectively fill his shoes. He has been so satisfactory that many feel he should reconsider and cany on the good work for another term of Parliament at least. No. doubt Mr. Hanson sons for not wishing. to continue theiarduous.parer difficult riding as this. He has his own business to consider and probably there are other considerations to justify his desire to retire now after he has served us so long and faithfully. There are none to deny that he has already done more than one man's share in the public service. In any case, it appears to be high time that something was done about the matter ofvdecidihg upon a candidate on whom we can all unite in enthusiastic support. Mr. Hanson is one such possible candidate but there must also surely be others. Ottawa's Financial Octopus . . . Shades of Duff Pattullo! Those words of Premier John Hart at Penticton, savoring of protest at the Ottawa financial bureaucracy seeking to embrace in its tentacles financial control of all Canada including the taxation rights of the provincial governments, sound muchly like the former premier and still our member for Prince Rupert who these many years has so strongly, championed the claims of the provinces to. taxation rights, going to extreme lengths' some times in doing so. When the always careful and usually conservative financial authority, John Hart, comes out in meeting and makes remarks like he did at Penticton we are constrained to admit that there must be something to it after all. Harsh words those coming from him about the fiscal octopus on the banks of the Ottawa. But, putting all levity aside, there were possibly some of us who did not realize it was actually so grasping as we had been led by others, principally Mr. Pattullo, to believe. .in- .... i PRINCE RUPERT . . .
