Vice-President counts, but at this moment it would appear Social Credit will be the government, with the C C F. once more the Opposition. There won't be a Conservative in the House; the Liberals will be lucky if they can seat two. If the straight voting system had been used last week, It would today be a Social Credit VICTORIA Extraordinary that's the only word to describe the determination of the B.C. public to annihilate Liberal and Conservative parties in B.C. This job of annihilation started a year ago. As far as the Conservatives were concerned. It was complete last week. The liberals are lelt gasping. All - 'fc,ijr, you V(lts U advance poll.

And their elation is far from exuberant. Their disappointment in British Columbia tempered the re-assurance they gained from the victory of the Campbell administration in Manitoba. The optimism which Liberal circles here professed on the eve ol the British Columbia voting va? NOT synthetic. It was the this, of course, is on first count; but It's not likely to change a great deal on the finals."

Those are the words of Premier Manning and in that respect I want to say: Let nobody write or think that if Social Credit should take over the reins of government here they would only follow along lines of good honest conservative government. If the Social Credit party took over the reins of government of Canada let It be understood they would Introduce Social Credit technique. There will not be any argument about that. If you want to go out on the election platform and fight on that ground that will be all right with us. That Hanscll Plan Is based on capturing power at Ottawa by precisely the same tactics they used in B.C. first to cuddle up to the Tories, then when that purpose Is served, to put the Tory dupes right out of the picture. ' , THE CLEVER, silent organizer who handled the capture of B.C. for Social Credit was E. O. Hansen, MP for Macleod, Alberta. In the House of Commons on December 1, TJ52, he made these points: 1. Liberals and CCF would sent to I The best thing that could hi iinsen.ee ballots are their home riding3. One wonders if th'' though behind CCF., came up with nearly 1,000 more votes.

According to his latest announcement, he intends to take an active part in the coming Dominion elections. While it is understandable that he should wish his Social Credit party wel represented at Ottawa, it would seem that he could do the province more good at this critical point by devoting all his thought and energy to its immediate problems. If he finds that he lias enough time between now and the next session to go campaigning, why could he not use that time instead to make a province-wide tour of inspection? x" This business of visiting more distant constituencies only when looking for votes is a political practice designed for nobody's benefit except the campaigner's. If Mr. Bennett really wants to gain esteem for his party, he should make a trip looking ( for nothing but information, He should visit lumber camps, mines and fish- M mini maiumy ui me people in me f ederal election It will be amazing if this boo n to Social Credit suddenly stops W LATER ARTICLES I hope to i are able to greatly inconven- I probably get back the Hoia it-nee the vast majority. , Commons seat he resinned The advance poll is for peo-Huke BC.

Without alienating the support of any of the old and discredited party machine, it had built up an entirely new organization with a strong "gra.sii-roots" atmosphere surrounding it. But it had laid its main emphasis upon drafting candidates of highest local prestige in every constituency. Logically, the formula should have commanded success. Its be forced., by facts, to merge. 2. Social Credit would ally itself with, and then annihilate the Progressive Conservatives. 3. Social Credit is in deadly earnest about its monetary ideas, and will drive them through at Ottawa. If elected. HERE is exactly wi.at Mr. Hanson himself said: show whv I partly agree with Mr. Hansell. that a 'big political re-alignment is coming in Canada; and that it will eventually include the Social Credits and Old Line Tory remnants on one hand, and the Liberals and CCF on the other. But I hope to show this w!;l r.ot be, as Mr. Hansell fonjly but wrongly hopes, on the issue of socialism. LAMPS ihave a way of carrying throuc.h J l to the end.

He could see this important port with its wasted opportunities and call at Kitimat, a city in the making. Continuing north, he could take a look at the Yukon watershed which one day might provide power for a vast industrial development. It is not necessary that Mr. Bennett be an engineer or an economist to profit by such a trip. If he returned home with nothing but a firmer impression of the size and possibilities of the province he SIMPSONS-SEARS LTD ingly smaller. But their pessimism for the future outlook is equal. The sorry showing made by a prominent Vancouver former City Father in the conxtitu-eni'y which federally has returned PC stalwart Howard Green has aroused a deep sense of foreboding amongst the Tories.

Mr. Bennett's compelling interest is to add to the power, he already has, or appears likely to have.

An office in 0t tawa with Prime Minister on the door might answer his need. is whether you want socialism or whether von want, private enterDri.se,- That is the issue, and that is going to be tin? issue as the. days go by in Canada. 1 I am not a prophet, but I will make this suggestion that, whether or not I live to see the day, either the CCF will take over the liberal party or the Liberal party will absorb the CCF. AN HON. MEMBER: Never. AN HON. MEMBKR: A 11 tl you will take over the Tories. MR. HANSELL: That is going to happen and they will emerge as one of the great parties in Canada . . . to break new; political territory. Such a demonstration would have increased' their dynamics in the provinces of Eastern Canada, where theij greatest potential consisted in the legend of unpredlctible strength which they were building in Western Canada. But that legend now is damaged seriously by the Manitoba set-back. As a consequence, the Social Crediters are a less reared and less -fearful factor in Eastern Canada politics than was the case a few months ago. In none of the Federal appraisals of the B.C. result is the showing made by the CCF being overlooked.
