So But the reality of Canadian politics is .such that each of these two leaders has two chances for the Prime Ministry. If either the Liberals or Conservatives win more than 132 seats then the winning party will be able to form a government from within its own ranks. But if the Liberals fell just short of the necessary margin they would be absolutely sure of C'CF support', either from within or out.side a coalition. And if Social Credit swept B.C. with Duplessis lining up openly behind Drew in Quebec, we could well have a new lineup on the "right" wing of poll-tics. We could have a DruDu-Low hodge-podge government. GEORGE DREW'S keynote speech at Guelph was a powerful effort. It struck shrewd ing its own game of bluff if, in- I ('epd. it is playing a game of I bluff, an allegation which all the Cabineteei s would strenuously , deny. Actually, there's a very real ' danger that Leader Drew's ut- tempt to captdre the initiative in the campaign may land him on the defensive. For increasingly i dav bv dav he's being eallei: : upon to defend one or other of ' the 16 points in the party's manl-! festo. That's making it hard for ;h!m to focus the campaign spotlight on the alleged extravagances and Inefficiencies of the government which he wants to highlight. But. while government tactic?

The rebellion in East Germany and restless .tirrings elsewhere in East Europe appear to be ' Symptoms of the internal Soviet ailment insecurity at the top. - The Soviet Union's economic strength, that is, its swift pace in the strategic heavy industries as opposed to civilian consumer industries, seems offset by increasing political weakness arising from the unresolved struggle for .Stalin's power. Indeed, the shift from total dictatorship to committee dictatorship may have created an impossible situation that can le resolved eventually only by force. The uneasy transition from one-man rub? to government by committee seems to have caused divisions and nervousness among parties in the cap-' tive nations. ' The great Soviet peace offensive launched after Stalin died was an elaboration and extension of a peace offensive already in operation for a full year. The new- Kremlin rulers apparently depended on it to relieve tensions sufficiently to permit them to entrench themselves and to break up the sopid front of the West. But now the peace offensive seems to be getting in the Kremlin's way. The Russians tried an experiment in East Germany to let off steam. They' fell into their own trap. Trying to make a gesture to convince the jCLermans they had the right of protest, they permitted a coached, organized demonstration to get out of hand. It blew up into riotous rebellion and forced the Russians to wheel. up the tanks. A major gesture toward Germany undoubtedly bad been planned. The East German riots gummed Ttj' Soviet' plans, making Russian talk of German jTiiification look like so much rubbish. t The Soviet timetable in Europe has been upset.

Mr. Drew may cash in on that contradiction.

BUT SURELY George Drew does not expect the Canadian people to take him seriously when he says his first act as Prime event of a; Labor government being elected, although there is no sign Prime Minister Churchill's Conservative administration plans a national vote in the near future. On the controversial question of nationalization, the manifesto says Labor would take over "key" machine tool companies, water supplies, some, sections of the engineering industry, aircraft' fac-tories deemed inefficient, the sugar beet industry and, if necessary, some farm land. Steel would be "renationalized" and road haulage, brought back vinto public ownership. Throughout, the theme is not necessarily nationalization, but nationalization, if necessary. The statement forecasts a 10-year program for j3?ritish agriculture, designed to increase production &y one-third in the first five years. The manifesto also said the party should press for removal of United States trade restrictions and would favor a permanent sterling organization for joint planning among sterling area countries. The party promised abolition of all health service charges imposed by the Churchill government and adjustment of social security benefits to any rise in the cost of living. It expressed labor's opposition to commercial television in Britain, now under control of the BBC. Miracle Beach Park Is t258 acres. It's a beautiful area, heavily forested wjth a fine stand of Douglas fir, hemlock, and broadleaf maple. Fronting this forest Is the smooth, sandy, salt-water beach.
