WHAT WO. WR HAVE DONE?

Many, ' no .doubt, have been follow
ing the news accounts of"' thet bushworkers• ,
strik e at Kapuskasing,; ; and; of the subsea
eluent death of three of the union mem-
bees ,when this strike action flared into
violence, ' ; ' {
No one can condone taking the law
into. ones 'own hands, 'and the ' use 'of fire'
arms with the resultant loss of life is :de--
plorable.. Whether it was wilful or done
in fear and self defence cannot be judged
from afar. But, we wonder whatwe would'
have done under the same 'circumstances.
About: twenty .men known to the
trade as "settlers', non ' .union members

union .;inen,; . were apparently continuing,
their work despite intimidation and har
assment .:from union members. There are
also other. groups of thesenob-union mem'' ,

In ' using firearms, rightly or wrongly,

WILL IT SERVE' 'ANY' PURPOSE?
There is a '.possibility. that Canaclia n.

Mindful of the negativeness of policy
clarification in the election campaign of
less than a' year: ago,and the sterility .of
accomplishment and harassment of the
short-lived: •government, the electorate have
little stomach " for a•.repeat performance.:
• What. is needed' and .demanded is a
forthright: •statement of party policies, pre-
sented in. 'concise; clear• cut'.•form .,so that
the 'little... `'man' is .enabled_ to cast • an
intelligent .ballot for what he ' thinks • is
best for Canada.
The • nuclear arms question, the . dollair

all matters .which should r: not be "political
