Morris Mc- Dougall, president of the Parliament ary Press Gallery, spoke of the ap- preciation of the press gallery of which the Prime Minister is an hon- orary life member. Canada's Trained 'Leaders - One of the most significant things brought out at the, dinner was, that never in our history has Canada had so many -highly trained ;political lead- ers as it has today. All parties have ins n still young in years but old in experience ,gained through difficult war and. immediate pre-war years. John Bracken of the P.C. Party_ has had twenty years as a provincial lead• er which included most of 'the .first two years of war. C.C.F. Leader Cold - well bas borne most of the ,weight of the National leadership. of his party for mare than ten years of diverse and world-wide political problems. A large number' of men in the Liberal 'party have gained outstanding experi- en.ce in peace and war as Parliamen- o tary Assistants and Cabinet Minis - e . tees, handling all the difficult national t I and international problems, that are ✓ encountered in the Departments of Y Justice, Munitions and •.Supply, ..e- - construction, Finance, Agriculture Veteran's• 'Affairs; National Defence, 1 National Health and Labour. ~There - are also at least three of the five Lib ea:a_I—Frodincial P en+isrs with. watts experience in administration. It is - I doubtful if any country in .the world has as large• a number • of highly trained leaders in. their political par- ties as 'we have today. Mr. King will doff 'his. mantle:. with the satisfaction of knowing that' he has trained cap able men ready to' follow• in ;.his foot steps. • One Nation Political circles in Ottawa are all agreed that the most far reaching, ;incident_.in.. Canada's-. -Dominion-Pre.. vincial 'negotiations occurred last week -when Canada's Minister of Jus tice, Hon- L -St. Laurent, put an end, ,it is hoped, for all time; to the argu ment that Canada' was the creation of the .Provinces and_thaL tli.etefore_ the Provincial Governments must be consulted before any changes eoul'd•"be made in our constitution. On this argument hung all the opposition and obstruction of Premiers Drew and Duplessis. at the Dominion -Provincial Conference: Acceptance of this theory v buil- !lave doomed Canada forever to the—straight. jacket of r constitu tion designed for the horse and buggy days •and completely inadequate in this atomic age.

Observers in Canada's Capi- tal have noted that our' Prime Mins ister was one of the first•to advocate • this •step. In a • notab'le speech.,•in parliament Mr: King warned that the United Nations, as at present consti- tuted, is not a sufficient ,washer to the problems of; the world. He ex- pressed the belief ..that- .we.,must be willing to give up some of our nation- al sovereignty to . a. sovereign world state: Budget Reactions ' Almost .6.00;000"Canadians were per- fectly 'satisfied with the terms of the budget brought down by Hon.

The general opiniones pressed by hundreds across Canada in almost the same words was: "Well it's about time, and I guess . that is as. _far sas-sthesgoveenment can go now." Small businessmen 'were happjtoo, because excess profit taxes were. wip ed out for them. 'Corporation offic- ials felt that'the 'government 'should have followed the- example of the Labour' Government in Britain and wiped • out their excess profit tax too. _ Farmers and :fishermen are pleased - that they will now 'pay their tax, on the" basis of 'their ,average income over .a 'three-year period.
