Momentum Given Movement
For'' National Government;
The Past Week in the Capital
Perplexing Economic Prob-
lems Revive Talk of Gov-
ernment Composed o f
Best Minds in Both Par-
tieA.
PARTIES, HOWEVER,
, ARE NOT FAVORABLE
Though it may be brushed aside by
both political parties at Ottawa, the
idea of a national government for
Canada, nurtured by many thought=
fu'1 people outside the capital, is be-
ing. revived. Before another election,
it may 'take, definite form and the
election can the next year. Canada
had a union igotverniinent, made up of
one political party and half of an-
other, in time of • war. The memory
of dist Ministry, supposedly of pal--
riottic motive, is not very savory.'If
anything of the kind is to be at-
temrlpted, anew, 'it would ;be called a
"'natioria'I" 'govern'm'ent;, the terfm
used in Great Britain. The idea is a
gov'ernm'ent made up of the "best
minds", of the Conservative and Lib-
eral"parties. Of course; .if vt 'would
come into it, the new Socialist party
would be welcome.
Bag Full of Problems.
The question may arise as to what
is !behind this quiet but sedulous
propaganda. The theory is that, like
the United States and all other coun-
tries, Canada has 'a 'bag full of per-
pleicin'g '•prab1envseefundanuentally fin-
ancial—and that, to solve them and
put across the perhaps drastic reme-
dies called for, a merger of parties;
tentativelyat least, is called for. It
may be and admittedly is necessary
io bring controllable expenditures in
line with revenues—•to reduce great-
ly the gaviernment pay roll, in wihich.
already some progress is noted --and
effect either economies. But most im-
portant of all in the eyes of ,people
who have -at heart the financial stab-
ility of the country is a consolida-
tion of the railroads. It, was not re-
ceimmended by the comtrtmission which
investigated the 'problem ,last year.
The (majority of them would have lik-
ed to have done so, but the govern-
ment, which brought on the ecquiry,
,,,b felt constrained to follow its •find-
ings. No doubt care was taken to
see that one of these findings was
not for a merger. The reason is the
political unpopularity of such a move.
Any government sponsoring such a
plan, if opposed by the' other politi-
cal party, would be doo•rned to inevit-
ab1e defeat.'In place of the roads be-
ing consolidated, they are co-operat-
ing and saving considerable money.
Yet the estimated deficit of the Can-
adian National this year is again a-
bout $50,000,000, while the Canadian
Pacific is paying no div'id'ends.
Two Could Accomplish More.
Among other 'things, it is •eontend-
•ed, a national government might stop
sill this. The theory is that one party
alone cannot do what two parties
well might do. They could merge
the railroads, slash expenditures, ev-
en the hefty pensions bill, cut down
the civil service and generally reduce
public 'administration to the minimum
of necessities. No doubt in the pres-
ent condition of things, if all this
could be done, through a benevolent
accord of political parties. the posi-
tion of the public treasury would be
strengthened greatly and the burden
on the taxpayer enormously relieved.
Parties Unsympathetic
But the obstacles• f$i the way are
great. 'Marriage takes place only with
mutual consent. That between politi-
cal parties such consent is not likely
is manifest. The Canadian premier,
+Mr. Bennett, has many high attri-
bmteg. Ocie of them is a supreme con-
fidence in himself. He would) not ad-
mait that his government ,would be
strengthened in the slightest by
bringing in people from the other
side. And the Liberal leader, Mr. Mac-
kenzie King, never would be able to
agree with M. Bennett. Their re-
spective policies and programs and
ideas norrniaily are about as suseept-
ible of fusion as oil and water. Dif-
ferenees, however, might be reconcil-
ed in a 'Crisis. Meanwhile, one cannot
be made to invite the other and, if
be were invited, he could not be forc-
ed to accept. In fact, nei't'her party
at heart has the slightest sympathy
with the 'Mave'ment. Nevertheless it
is under way again with much to be
said in favor of it if it can accomp-
lish all that is' planned, and do it
without the usual political ruction.
There is another factor 1‘1. it. Premier
' Bennett may not relish or even be
aware of it, ;but somle of the most in-
fluential interests in the country,
' wholly sympathetic to hianself, think
that in this n'a'tional govermnri•ent idea
lie's the only way of being "saved."
Fit will be very interesting to watch
the trend df events. The next session
of Parliament well May prase to be
tihe last before dissolution and a gen-
eral electiion.

Potato
Mr. John Murray, Egmondville,
well known potato specialist, has
a new record this year.. This
spring he planted potatoes which
had been harvested in 1931 and
which had been in his cellar in
the' meantime, and Mr. Murray
says the two year old seed grew
as well as any in his garden. Mr.
Murray is . no stranger to good
potatoes, his father having won
first prize at the . first World's
Fair many years ago. He, him-
self, annually collects many of
the potato prizes at Seaforth's
Fall Fair.

LOCAL HYDRO USERS

,VARNA
H.E.P.C. Returns 10 Per
Cent. of Amount Paid
in 1932 For Power.
CREDITED ON BILLS
Seaforth is one of the 7,8 Ontario -
hydro municipalities who will re-
ceive a rebate on,.power ,purcbases
during 1922 from the Ontario Hydro
Electric Power, Comlmission.
iSeaforth's portion of the good news
amounts to $2,090.00', or 10 Rer cent.
of the amount which the local Com-
mission paid for power during the
past year. The total amounted .to
$20,900.00.
Secretary -treasurer J. A. Wilson, of
the local Commission, stated that the
windfall would be applied' to ednsum-
ers' 'bulls in the form of a credit. He
did not know what month's• biij would
be affected because of the clerical
work that had to be done.
The official Coarvmiission statement
announcing the rebates said in part:
"The annual study of 'financial con-
ditions of the Hydmol 'Systems of the
municipalities served by the 'Cons -
mission has just been completed for
the purpose of rate adjustments.
These studies are made for the pur-
pose of •adjusting rates so that each
class of service is supplied as nearly
as possible at cost, and so that the
actual cost of tpolwer supplied +for
municipal purposes, .such as street
lighting and waterworks, may be ac-
tually ascertained. The Power Com-
mission Act provides that power sup-
plied by local system's fox municipal
purposes shall be supplied ah actual
cost and any surplus accumulated
during each year is handed back in
cash to the general fund of the mtun-
icipality,
"In some of the municipalities it is
sometimes found 'advisable to actu-
ally refund in cash directly to the
consumer a part of the. surplus -rev-
enue, rather than 'make reductions
in rates. •In fact, in some of the
>rruriicipalities . refunds have been
Tirade as well as rate reductions."

which some 2,000 employees are
laid off because they have reached
the age of 65 years. The situation is
modified somewhat by the fact that
many •of them are entitled to pen -
scions and that those who are not
will get a bonus of so"many 'months'
salary. 'Following the reductions
neade in general staffs, regardless of
age, this maneuver of the govern-
ment brings much protest, though it
is likely to he abortive. It is repre-
sented that the hardship resulting
from this saving perhaps $1,000,00"0
a year, is very great aid that,. much
more fairly; other expenditures
should be cut. But the government
answers that it is doing that, too.
The economy is enforced by declines
in revenues without a proportionate
decline in expenditure. There is room
for argument as to whether, particu-
larly in custonrrs revenue, this fall;
ing off May not he attributable to the
practical prdhibition of du'tia'ble imir
ports over a tariff wall of high pro-
tection.

An announcement of particular .in- ,
terest to parents of s'm'all children �
teres
was that made this week of the ap-
pointmlenrt of a supervisor for the
Lions Park Swimming Pool.
For some time the Park'Committee
has felt that more use would be neade
of the park if parents 'could be as- '
scared that their children would be t
looked after while there. With this t
in mind the committee looked for a
soave reliable person who would be r
on duty at the .park, during stated i
hours. 1
A5 a result, Clarence Trott has been 1
appointed supervisor and he will be 1
at the park each day, inc'ludi'ng Sun- j
days, front 10-12 in the .Imlornings,
and from 2-5 in the afternoons. Par- c
ents are asked to co-operate by al- i
lowing small children. to swim in the 1
pool only during these hours. 1
In addition to looking after small 7
children, Mr. Trott will be in charge <
of the park while on duty. The pres- i
ence of a supervisor, it is. •thought, 1
will tend iso prevent any rowdyism ti
that might otherwise prevail. The ".
supervisor °will wear a distinguishing i
sweater in order that he .may readily i
be identified.
• The park committee expect to have 1
the pool cleaned out at the conclusion :
of the bathing season and is seek- 1
ing ways of, preventing the accumula- i
tion of. silt.

efereed 'by Clark, of Stratford. The

Clinton 17, Seaforth
Seaforth fell heavily at Clinton 'on
'T'uesday and didn't g'et up before
Clinton had piled up a 15-0 score. The
locals played the worst game of the
season and seemed unable to do any-
thing correctly. Every member. • of
the team had an off night. ,•,,Seaforth
'became awai'ened in the eighth to
score four runs and another in the
ninth for their total of five. It was a
bad dream for the whole team and
very disheartening to the large crowd
of supporters who went to cheer.
Nine -tenths of the crowd were from,
Seaforth.
The locals, however, hope for a vic-'
tory to -night (Thursday), which will
put them on even footing with Clin-
ton.
The score clearly indicates the play.
Clinton took the lead right at the
beginning and tallied in every inning
except the first and fourth.

Both teams were in need of a rest
es the whistle blew to end the first
half. The crowd 'surged onto the
field to congratulate their favorites
and give advice to some of the others.
. For the first eight minutes of tb:e
second, half, Ethel put on an attack
that had St. 'Columban worried. Ry-
an was called upon to save some hard
shots, but managed to clear every
time, The play was around St. Col-
umban', goal mouth for about four
minutes, hut after a. goal kick St.
Colunrhan carried the 'ball into Ethel
territory and V, Eckert again scored
en a rebound from goal pest. H. Mc-
Iver had kicked from his side of
the field but the ball struck the right
hand post and bounded out to Eckert,
who slipped it neatly past Alexander.
'this goal comer after ten minutes of
second half had been played, making
the count 4-2.
From then until' end of the game
Ethel seemed to drop back and lag a
little. The spurt they had. put on in
the 'beginning of the second half
seemed to tire them and they could
not rally enough to stage a come-
back. St. Columban, however, were
always on the job and took every op-
portunity to ge, the ball. Being;
N;ounge,r and lighter on their feet,
they could weave in and but amongst
the Ethel boys at will.
The Ethel team made some e.mart
nlays hut when it came to running
they were no match for St. Colum -
ban. Although evenly matched in
previous games, the St. . Colum'ban
team showed up better in Saturday
night's game and were undoubtedly
the hest tears. The Ethel players
placed some good kick's- bri,,t- .didn't
follow then un. The St, Colunrhan
team play. d every shot to advantage
and dirt not spare themselves in their
efforts to win.
Bowes ,howod up for Ethel while
V. Eckert matte some smart play
and was the ir.ig goal-ge.ter for St
Columban, H. McIver also looked
like= a prospect for future games:
The St. Columban eleven played well
AS a team.
Seaforth took a Huron Countysoft-
ball game front Goderich . Friday last
by 11-2. The score was•2-1 for Gode-
rich up till the sixth when Goderich
'slew up and allcwed six runs to bei
,cored by Seaforth.
There was no score in the first two
innings and. it looked like a close
game. Goderich put themselves in
the lead 2-0 in the third; Seaforth•
made it 2-1 in the fourth and there
was no score in the fifth. The crowd
was very g,uiet up until this time but
when Seaforth broke loose on a scor-
ing rampage in the sixth, they went
wild_ E. Rennie came to bat and
knocked a single. •Burgess, the next
batter, was called out. Buckran
knocked a single and E. Rennie went
to third. Taman clouted out a two-
bagger and brought Buckram and
Rennie home. B. Christie popped a
fly to short stop for second out and
C. Christie knocked a single. G. Ren-
nie got to first and Taman came home
and Muir brought G. Rennie and
Christie home.
Carrick pitched the full game for
Goderich, but was given poor support
after the fi4'th inning. Bucknam went
the limit for the locals and struck
out seven nien and walked three.
Barge; s knocked the only home run
when Carrick pitc•h;d him a slow
hall.
