Applewhaite, the Liberal candidate for Skeena in the federal election, made his debut on the public political platform in. Prince Rupert and the people who heard him last night political color notwithstandingwill probably agree that heimade a favorable impression. He displayed an air of sincerity in a brief talk and was clear cut enough' in the few matters that he was able to discuss. When a couple of C,C.F. disturbers interjected upon him he was cool and held to the point he wqs making in regard to the central control cabal of the Socialist party over its members and all their actions. We shall look forward, to hearing mure from Mr. Applewhaite in whom the Liberals of Skeena appear to have a very likely candidate in support of the Party and government for which Tom Reid, the fighting Scotsman from New Westminster and principal speaker, made out an able case. X C.C.F. anathemae dictatorship at home and abrqad and the Japanese question, If It wasn't for these, how simple the" Socialistic Utopia would be? Parting of Political Ways . . . Victory in Europe has not been long in producing a parting of the ways as far as the government pf Britain' is concerned. The British "THE MEN'S SHOP" Labor Party has decided that the time has come for it to go on its own, terminating the wartime alliance which produced the national government. This is the Labor party's answer to Mr. Churchill's proposal that his national government should see the war with Japan through before it relinquishes office. It would not be characteristically Churchillian to permit a situation like this to continue for long so a speedy move by the Prime Minister under the circumstances may be anticipated. It has been already suggested that this may come in the way of an early dissolution of Parliament, the formation of a new government consisting of Conservatives and stoch of the Prime Minister's present Labor colleagues as may choose to stay with him and the calling of a general electiqn in the near future. At this distance it might have seemed desirable to us for the National Government to have continued until after the war is really finished with the defeat of Japan. However, ten years is a longtime for any democratic country tp gq without a man? date. The British Labor Party may have some justification in now asking for an expression as to what kiwi of a government Britain is to have in the now drawing era of peace. Issues involved are almost entirely in theidomestic sphere. A, general election in Britain, even the accession of ' a bor government, could hardly haVo any major effect on foreign policy. Indeed it might even facilitate the solution of some of the different international problems which a'-e already loQrnjnfj up in the world's councils.

ISN'T SO SMALL! SPONSORED Ordinarily one Canadian in every sU gainfully employed, earns his livelihood, in a "small business." It may be a farm, a store or a lumber yard; an architect's office or a servicestation.Takentogcthcr.thcscindjvj'dual enterprises provide a very substantial part of Canada's total jobs must continue to do so after the war. During the years ahead many peopje who dropped small business for war reasons will want to return to their accustomed or mr-ways of making a living. Thus old businesses will be revived. Many pew ones will be started by returned men and people now in war industries. The new Industrial Development Bank and the commercial banks, together, afford assurance that no sound credit rcquirer ment need be left unserved in the field of small business. As SUch businesses grow, they create additional job openings; that has been the pattern of Canadian enterprises. Most large companies began in a small way, And practically all could name some bank which played a part in their growth by providing the loans tliey needed to finance their day-to-day operations.
