'BRITAIN'S ELECTION
The. elections. : to the British
House of Coultudns `giVe the & otl-
seiivat'ivea 'a Majority of 2t Oyer
tho Labor party,.. with two' ridings
`'still unreported. 'rftere are six
Liberals and three others, leaving
an over -ail majority of only 17 for
11r. Ohurcivill. This cleans that the
new Government arty tend 'difficulty
in maintaining ,its pas tion, but els
the Labor Governtiteut manage + • to
hold on for over a year With a
majority. of :.one Mr.:,Churchill
should not feel so very uncotnfurt-
,able „with his ' larger majority,
espe'cially as the Liberals .will line
up with the -Conservatives more
often than not.
Much is made of the fact that
the Labor party ' polled ti. larger
"popular vote" than the Conserv-
atives, but the difference is More
than made up by the I,.iberal )ite,
• largely' east against Attlee Uoveru-
metit. candidates. Labor eveu polled
a larget"'pe'reentage of the total
vote - then , in the •1950 electiou, a
'situation accounted for •by,'the fact
',that the ave -lag Liibor member -
elect polled a larger-iutrjoritj' than
the average. Conservative candidate
elected. 'Thi;., while uousual, is
not without precedent.: e*en one or,
two United' States. Presid nts have

What is to be noted in this ,een-
nec,trion'is the distinct cleavage in

.— Word.from Ottawa is that there
is to be some revision, of the so:-
called
o-called "cot -of -Living index." The
`dame itself is misleading, for it
does not represext the eost of
living. If furniture, for instance,
advances in -price the advance is
doted in the cost -of -living figure
published monthly) but' everybody
doesn't buy new furniture every
mouth. So with ninny ,_other, cum-
moditie, and services. If a gen-
eral increase, in rents is noted, this
does nut nteltn ' that • everybody's
rent -- is increased. 'Food prices
affect nearly every faiulily, but even
here there is a'°'choiee between tale
dearer and the cheaper • articles.
Jutwhat form the new, index is' t,o•
take • is • not yet mac i ":ikrblie, but
if, it; u<ere called a price: index, in-
stead of tt 'cost -of -living fudex, , that
