"Apart from the fact that we prophesied Social Credit would win a plurality, instead of a majority, in the last provincial election, and slightly underestimated the power of the Liberals federally, we scored on all the questions he asked just one year ago. For the record, our editorial on the subject, dated Jan. 2, 1953, read as follows: . "There will be a cease-fire in Korea but the peace will be an uneasy one. A heavily-guarded border between the north and south will be the scene of incidents from time to time. "There will be no world war involving the U.S. against Russia, or any other combination of forces. "Admission of organized German military units intathe western defence alliance will remain an important issue but nothing will be done to execute it. Too many dangers are involved. i'Russia will still be a UN member in good standing at the end of the year. "If there is a B.C. election during the year, Social Credit will be returned with an increased plurality but still lacking a majority. The order of the parties will remain unchanged. " "Louis St. Laurent will finish the year as our Prime Minister. "In the event of a federal election, the Liberal government will be returned with., a reduced majority.; The order of the parties, and the seats held by each, will be: Liberals, 142; Conservatives, 70; CCF, 23; Social Credit, 21; others, 0."
