The Brussels Post, 1949-5-25, Page 5As11 didemocracies, the personality of the
prime minister is one of the major facts of
Canadian politics. and, inevitably, a major
issue in a national election. At the polls on
Julie 27 the voter must ask himself, ahead
of anythieg else, who should be ileaci of
the state,
Considering the. alternatives available,
the answer to that. question should not be
in Louis St. Laurent Canada has found
not onh a- great national leader but the
most typical Canadian in its public life.
'That he had high abilities of the mind
was proved by his career in law. Thathe had
wisdom in cabinet, unique gifts in parlia-
mentary debate and a quick grasp of large
affairs became clear as soon as he entered the
Government. In international affoirs, as one
of the original advocates of the Atlantic
Pact, he made himself overnight a world
figure who spoke out as no Canadian before
higti in the councils of the nations.
But he has also revealed something much
larger an tinders Landing of ordi n ary
LOUIS ST. LAURENT, Prime Minister of Canada
people, because he is oue of them.
This warm and essentially simple human
being is the real St. Laurent, the product of
the small town, of humble beginnings, hard
work, a big family and. the friendliness of
rutin try iteigh bors.
Iti blood. language and instincts he is the
compact of (Mr two great races. In character
he. is the quiet, lumiely and practical stuff of
which the nation is made.
Co the voter it is equally important that
St. Laurent is the leader of a truly natival
party, with proved strength .frogn coast to
coast, the only.party which Call hope to form
a stable goverment after the election. And
not merely by office, but by unchallenged
ina.stery of government, he is the leader of
all the Canadian people.
St. Laurent's achievements as an
international statesman, his govern-
ment's achievements of debt reduc-
tion, fag reduction and increasing
social security ALONE justify the
election of him and his government.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
The result of the Manitoulin vote
would appear that the people of the
island whether they realize ,11 or not
are asking for more widespread sale
of alc000lic beverages provided under
Mw OntarIo Liquor Laws. Many sin -
ere people rterepted the wet propagan•
do and voted for repeal because they
tailed to see that the ones who
were pressing the. issue were those ,
who were not nearly so coneereed
about bootleggitig as in getting into
blIsineso for themselves, If the
Islanders think that bootlegging con -
(Unions will now dissa,ppear they are
in for a sad shock for they only have
to look n.t other ill'Exitg. of Ont„ where
ilte Licmor Control Act is in force
to see that there is no control,
The Alcohol probletn can only be im-
proved by less drinking not more
and we predict that more liquorallal
be nonaligned in Manitoulie Tm
this year than nt any time in it's
history because of freer sale. More
drinking anywhere means more am
cidents, more poverty, more crime
anti more murder, The v. T. A. is an
effective law and any fallere is due
