Owing to the regrettable illness •of Mr.

Day, be has not been able this year to conduct
the usual campaign. However, it is hoped
many other sources with great wisdom along'
this line. We prefer to present in oun news
columns a fair and impartial report of the
claims of opposing parties. Then, we have
every confidence in the intelligence of the
voters to vote as they see fit. They •will do
that, anyway!
But we do urge with all sinver'ity that
everyone exercises her or his franchise. That
might seem a worn phrase to some people but
its importance is inestimable. If ybu will not

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.
