Is that a satisfying explanation ? Not when we look at the United States. In the United States today there is unrest and a shortage of houses, and what to do.

"Probably, if her hirsband is a working man, she has more dollars to do with than she ever had before. But they don't buy much more, if any more, and you can't blame her if she is a bit bewildered and even resentful. "What answer can you make to her? Well, you can tell her about the long years of war, when every-thing went into making war goods which in a sense were just that much waste, and the resulting scarcity in the things she wants to buy, and the pent-up demand for these things, and the war-savings dollars that pushed prices higher and higher-when they became available, and the pent-up demand also for higher and higher wages that added to the cost of everything. You can explain about the vicious spiral of inflation and the difficulty of controlling it. . "You can explain all that, and it still doesn't make sense to her that her own position, as the manager of a household, has become so difficult. And you can't blame her.

If in the United States, where social, economic and industrial conditions are practically those of Canada, the older parties, Democrats and republicans, remain unchallenged, why should a third partv, and a Socialist party at that, be making inroads in Canada? The answer, we believe, is that older Canadian parties, unlike the older parties in the United States, have been failing in organization, failing in propaganda, failing in education failing, in short, to keep close to the people. In the Und States party organization, allied with party propaganda, is a full-time job. In Canada it is an election job something which our old parties undertake once every four years and then promptly suspend when an election is over. In the United States a president is head of the state ; he is also head of his party. Franklin Roosevelt gave richly of his genius to the war; at no time during the war, with all its demands upon him, did he neglect his party, forget the source of his power. Harry Hgpkins and others of the Roosevelt inner Cabinet might call often at the White House; hard on their heels would come the Jim Farley s and others whose job was the Democratic party. Mr. Roosevelt might hold his press conferences with his assistant secretary of state standing behind him. Standing- behind him also would be the veteran publicity director of the Democratic party. Never, no matter what came, must the party be forgotten. ; In Canada a prime minister (we are speaking of more recent years) considers himself above party or as greater than the party.. Mr. Bennett 'was an example. Under Mr. Bennett the Conservative party was subordinated to Mr. Bennett; its organization .exms dismantled; the theory being, apparently, that people vote for a leader, not a party. The consequence was a Conservative debacle. ! Mr. Mackenzie is King sometimes pictured as a sort of genius in politics. The historic truth is that Mr. King is the result of a combination of accidental political circumstances which have no relation to personal political genius at all. The truth, also, as Liberals well know, is that Mr. King as Prime Minister, has paid little attention to party organization, has never been close to the people, has lived in fact the life of a monastic, seemingly content to regard himself as a star dwelling apart. Twenty years ago, 10 years ago, the older parties maintained in Ottawa active, aggressive headquarters staffs; carried on education and propaganda; sent out their best speakers to meet and talk with the people kept steadily in touch with the people. Iot today. Today the Ottawa staffs of the old parties are skeleton set-ups of complete futility futil? because they are not supported by the party leaders. To sum up, the Liberal party and the Progressive Conservative party have ceased to be "grass root" parties; are deficient in organization and education, are too remote from the people. As a result they in-cur the danger of not merely miscalculating public , opinion, but, what is worse, of miscalcul?ting the t entiment and circumstances by which public opinion is predetermined. . Meanwhile the Socialists, the work of organization yielded to them as a monopoly, go about their work of propaganda with energy and zeal They are on th platform ; they are in the press ; The Journal receives frequent well written letters from them; they are on the radio; and their leaflets and proseletysers are in every doorway. It is this aided by the lethargy of the old parties, which is the principal explanation of CCF victories. The Journal doesn't believe that the CCF party can ever take power in this country. What is possible though, ynd what must come if the older parties do not look to their defences, is that the CCF party will win enough victories to bring to this country political confusion and perhaps paralysis. Unless the older parties are prepared to accept that, are content to abdicate their functions and vcspons-ibilitis, they had better be Up and doing:.
