, In order to provide a seat in the
Ilellee of Commove eleighen,
Major Alan leockerant ha e reSignetl as
member for South York, where he wee
elected in WO witte(rn substantial lead
over "liberal and 0.0.F. eandidates.
Tile fLiberals 'are -not offering any op
position to,eir: alleighere6 election, but
the C.C.F. has announced its intentien,
of contesting the election with its
candidate of 1940 again In -the field.
*The C.C.F. people can 'hardly expect to
elect their candidate,. but from their
standpolut the move is a shrewd one.
In British Colima:lila, 'where the recent
° eleetion left the 'liberal.
Governmerit witheut a majority in the
'Legislature, there Is a strong move-
ment for a coalition of parties. The
Conservatives are willing th join with
tae Liberals lu earrying on the govern-
ment, aLiberal convention just held
has voted in favor of o coalition, but
the,- C.C.F„ which showed surprising
etrengele in the recent eleetiou, will
have othing-to do with it. If the
Liberals and :Conservatives in :the:
Legislature join force, the �V.. will
be the recognized opposition and ;May

Mr. Patten°, the defeated Premier,
says. that it: a Liberal -Conservative
coalition is formed in Britesh Columbia
sixty per cent. of the Liberals, will go
to the C.C.F. This is probably an
exaggeration, but no doubt the .C.C.F.
g
in holdin•out froxa the coalitima hopes
to strengthen itself by defections from
one or bete of the old, parties. It is
more thafilikely that_the earne strategy
is beinepractised in South York, where

portion of the vote east in 1940 foe the

In a • thoughtful article The OrTillit

its own ,suery, "What is keeping Can-
adian' yOuth front- responding to the
"call of duty?" It places upon pro-
fessors, preachers and others the re-
sponsibility for teaching the youth of
the . past two decades to look on
"patriotism as, bunkum and soldiering
aas folly." As -for the attitude 'I'm -
