CONSERVATIVE WIN IN BRITAIN The British general election on May 20th geseulted, as generally expected, in a decisive victory for the Conservative party led by Sir ilnthony Eden', Of 030 seats in the House of Commons, Conservatives will hold 345, giving thein an over-all majority of 60, in comparison with a slim margin of less than 20 in. the .last Rouse. • The Labor party lost much support by mason of the split between the extreme leftists led by Aneurin Bevan and the more moderate, and larger section of the party which followed the o.fficial apposition leader, Clement Atlee. There was. no outstanding issue on foreign policy, although Bevan has persistently at- Racked the •Government for too closely follow- ing the lead of Washington in foreign affairs. • Britain is riding high on a wave of pros- perity''aft.er years of "hard times," and per- haps more than anything else this contributed to the suivess of the party in office. Sir An- thony Eden holds the confidence of the British a people iii the realm of foreign policy, in which for many years his tact and good- judgment - 'have achieved- a great measure of success. Most important .of all, the smashing. vic- tory at the ,polis ends a virtual deadlock be- tween the two great parties. and Sir Anthony and his colleagues. will now have a freer hand in advancing the causes which they have at heart. • Evidence of the political activity of Bri- tish women in a .greater degree than is to be seen in Canada is the "fact 'that the new House of Commons will have no fewer than 24 woman members. • •eoname Backv�'a�rd spring weather and excessive rainfalls had greatly re- , tarded completion of seeding oper- ations in Huron.
