EDITORIAL
The recent Ontario provincial elec-
tion returned the ProgressiveConserv-
atives to power for another term of
office. However, their former too-
large majority was considerably re-
duced. Ontario voters thus have shown
that they approve in general the type
of government they have been receiv-
ing in recent years, but at the same
time„ they have made certain by their
votes that there will be a strong op-
position in the houses of parliament
to ensure the best possible legislation
and government at all times.
The resurgence of the C.,C.F. party
to the role of chief opposition party
in Ontario, and their recent victories
in three Federal by-elections, shows
a very significant possible trend in
political thought in Canada. It should
be taken as a warning by the two old-
established political parties, the "Grits"
and the "Tories", to put their houses

it has been almost an established cite-

Canada yet.

high taxes caused by the war, labor
unrest and high prices have made the
people seek desperately for some rem.-
edy for their troubles. It is doubtful
that there is any panacea for these ills,
in the immediate future, but the recent
gains of th C.C.F. party show that
many people believe or hope that a
radical change of government may be
helpful.
And no matter which political party
is in power, all elected members of
parliament should remember that they
now lepiescut all the constitutents in
their riding. The election campaign
was only a preliminary skirmish to de-
cide who should have the honour of
serving and now the people expect and
look for hard work and good results
from each elected member of parlia-
ment, We extend hearty congratula-
tions to the winners and commend the
losers for their efforts to serve in the
public interests,

NEWFOUNDLAND STILL
UNDECIDED ABOUT FUTURE
The recent referendum in New-
foundland was inconclusive, in that no
one of the three political choices of-
fered to the voters won majority sup-
port. The votes for responsible gov-
ernment were about 68,000; for con-
federation with Canada, around 62,000
and for retention of the existing rule
by Commission, nearly, 22,000. As a
consequence, another test of public
opinion will be taken about the middle
of July, with the alternative narrowed
to two; responsible self-government or
union with Canada.
The most striking feature in the re-
sult of the referendum was the rise of
the vote for retention of the existing
Commission government. The result of
the final test next month will largely
depend on the placing of the 22,000
votes which favored Commission gov-
ernment in the first referendum, Can-
ada will welcome Newfoundland as a
tenth province, if their final choice is
for union, but the choice remains de-
finitely and exclusively theirs.

"The County of Huron is justly
