But the Tory ad men have only opened their mouth on army boots to put their own foot in it. on on the radio which says something like this: "Blank Is 68 per cent more efficient" or "Such-and-such gets clothes two thirds cleaner." They do not say "two thirds cleaner than any other soap can get them" or "two thirds cleaner than our old style soap." No, they just say "two thirds cleaner." THE FACTS about the army, navy and air force boots were I given by the Deputy Minister of National Defence in the 'House of Commons on June 20, THE advertisements ask: "Why survive under the regimentation involved in CCF Socialism. i Mr. Coldwell stands equally opposed to the idea of coalition with the Liberals because he believes firmly that, if Canadian Socialism has the endurance Just to paddle its own, canoe long enough, it is certain to arrive in due course at the snores of power. But from his knowledge of past coalitions in which the Liberals were one of the partners, he is satisfied that the CCF wouldn't retain its Identity long enough to claim its heritage, if it entered into a marriage of convenience 20 Pairs of Shoes?"

CAPACITY RockMounl,: From the standpoint of his personal fortunes, it's perhaps lust too bad for the CCF leader that he is so suspicious of Liberalism when it. comss bearing gifts. If he hadn't been so dis RockMunl 4rid Old INCE everybody seems to have an opinion about 0 whether or not Princess Margaret should marry Group Captain Townsend, we are moved to express the hope that she does not. Millions of devoted subjects apparently dis-igree, but that cannot be helped. As far as Margaret "lcrself is concerned, we would like to see her marry :.i man of her instinctive choice, whatever his title r lack of one. In Townaend's favor it must bft observed that he has an excellent title, though pos-?ibly not the kind thatVme critics of the match lave in mind. He is an officer in the RAP who has sained his rank in valiant defence of his country. That gives him a title that merits respect in any company. Moreover, Margaret, though only slightly removed by age from being a queen, will almost certainly never be one. Ranking in line after her sister's youthful and healthy family to which there may be additions yet to come, "she is already beyond likely stepping distance to the throne and probably quite happy to be so. But the point is that she is often going to be called upon as stand-in for Elizabeth without enjoying the Queen's distinction though still subjected to the rigors of that position. ' ; For these reasons it is important that Margaret's" personal life be as happy as possible, and it is the opinion of many that marriage to Townsend would provide this. Unfortunately in his case, however, there are two children by his former wife who would have to be exposed to the inquisitive and probably cruel publicity of national attention or pushed into a dark and intensely lonely background. Although the latter course possibly would be preferred, it is only the lesser of two bad ones. It can be argued, of course, that Margaret's happiness is as imperative as theirs and, because she has many trying duties to perform perhaps more so. But the truth is that one cannot be weighed against the other. Margaret could not, and would not want to, buy her happiness at the expense of theirs. The price of such a deal would be pain and heartache for all.
