He reported a saving of $3,000 on the closing of No. 6 School. "School costs are too high. Real estate cannot stand the cost of education much longer," said W. P.

E. 1VIcQUAID President. JAS. St. Laurent -- the Ultimates Canadian (By Bruce Hutchison) Bruce Hutchison is Editor of the Victoria Daily Times and one of Canada's best known writers, author of "The Un- known Country" and frequent contributor to publications in the U.S.A. and other countries. Mr. St. Laurent has ach'evet more in less time than any states- man in Canadian history, Th'.s statement is' nota bit of banquet rratory. It is a mathematical fact. Macdonald became Prime Minis- ter after a lifetime of apprentice- ship' Laurier similarly prepared from his youth and, as a party lead- er; suffered cruel defeats before he reached office, Mackenzie King set his ultimate goal in college and needed thirty years to achieve it. Within seven years of entering pol- 'tics'`(with no inteetion of remain- ing there) Mr. St, Laurent was Prime Minister, But there is a broad, though in- tangible gulf between the leader- slrip of a government and the lead- ership of the nation. At least sev- en Canadian Prime Ministers were unable to cross that gulf. They heldd officebut they were neverrac- repted by the nation. Mr. S Laurent was fully accepted Within one year, 'Phat is the final test of a. Canadian statesman. That is the measure of Mr. St. Laurent. A Unique Achievement Why this achievement, unique on lur national record? How has this man telescoped a life's work into a angle decade or really into a third of a decade? It will be said that his succes "as been built on his character, as all success must b'4. Thatis trepe, but it misses the real point of Mr. St. Laurent's career. Many other Canadian statesmen of this genera- tion have shown character and abil- ity worthy of the highest office in the state. Mr, St. Laurent possess- es something else whi no con- temporary possesses i the same degree—he is the mos Canadian of all living Canadian . Outwardly and inwardly the is the image and essence of the Canadian .people, He succeeds because the people have seen in him, almost overnight, the true expression of themselves, • t' Now, it is commonly said of Mr. St. Laurent that he came too late into politics and thereby deprivedCanada of many useful years of ser- vice, This also is true but misses the point of his career, For in fact—almost as if the timing had been carefully arranged half a cen- tury in advance—Mr. St. Laurent arrived, by ..pure chance, at precise- ly the -right moment, for him .and for the nation- " e The Man Met the Occasion He was ready, and he was school- ed by seven years of intensive training, to fill the void left by Mac- kenzie King. It was not only in re- lation to Macken`zie's King's retire- ment -that Mr. St. Laurent arrived at just bhe fight moment but in re- lation to a much larger occasion. Mr. St. Laurent alighted, as it were, on a decisive '?Watershed in the nation's life. From that water- shed,..bis life, like the nation's, has'flowed in these last three year,. This, if ever, was the—momentwhen the man met the occasion. .The man we know pretty clear- ly. The occasion is still obscure andits outcome incalculable. His- tory's ultimate opinion on Mr. St. Laurent will depend upon his suc- cess or failure in grappling with the occasion, with the two sover- eign facts of his time—a deep change in Canada's own life and the sudden involvement of Canada in the s'].pr'eme' e: i=i t ofehwman life everywhere. Hopes and Dangers of a New Age By the end of the last war Can- ada stood on the threshold• of a 8 new age. It was not the age which Canada expected, for which it had toiled and bled in two world wars. it was the age in which mankind could see, for the first time in all its experience on earth, the chance of settled peace and prosperity and yet .at the same time .the danger of. destroying, ]n a single explo- sion, the• civilization of five thou- sand years. For the ilractical purposes of statecraft yesterday was centuries ago and toulorro-g a terrain where no male l d:d ever set foot. Like all Other statesmen, Mr, St. Laurent had no map of this unknown coun- try but he had an asset which sew people noticed at the time — he stood on the threshold and looked out on the unknown without any presonceived prejudices, .without," obligation to anyone since he had sought nothing for himself, without any promises to make good, with- out the necessity of justifying for- mer mistakes. without commit- ments to any policy now obsolete. The nation was setting a new course. it had found a leader who could do the same. A New Influence on Politics Now it will be found, I tltink, when all the record is in, that poli- tics affected Mr, St. Laurent as much as be affected politics. Politics, it may be said, revealed I Born With Canada in Him Mr. St. Laurent's-,deseent from the two great blood streams of our mace is obviou4 enough. He Was born with Canada in him. A good many Canadians, however, have in- herited the same twin legacy. Some- 'hing much more is required, some- thing also besides character and •'bility. to make a Prime Minister nd . finaily no make an accepted, :trader of the nation, far beyond arty politics. Mr. St. Laurent suc- ceeds because his reactions to ev- ery problem, public and private, are so typically Canadian. He is, above all, practical, seek- ing instantly and instinctively Per :h'e solution which will Work. That is the inttinct on which Canada was built from the day when Cham- plain bulit his habitation on the ti ozen rocks of Quebec to .the pre- sent hour when Canada, as part of the New World, is returning to re- dress the balance of the Old, That has been the Canadian approach to geographical, economic and "politi- cal diff'culties which seemed to doom .a Canadian nation from the beginning. Again, unwill'ng to lcse the good in the pbrsuit of the per- fect, and understanding that poli- tics is the art of the possible, Mr, 5t, Laurent knows how to compro- wise. And Canada,, in every aspect of its life, is and must le a corn prom°se to survive. A Great Man By Any Standard There is in him something else still more Canadian here is a great man by any standard of measure- ment, es even his strongest critics will agree. But he refuses to cre- ate and the Canadian people would never tolerate the postures and at- tiudes of the self-conscious Great. Man. They arek greatness in their leaders but they distrust any man' Who parades it. No man, in poli- tics or the other art;, has yet arti culated what we call for la "'a better word, the Canada 1 d d: ant'. Mr. St..Laurent is ac ept'fi by the CanadianAoA elackinga le bec.us oratory, the gleaming ,0 4, se and the grand gesture, he somehow art- iculates Canadianlsm better than any' contotiiDorary by Witt I reeise- Iy what he is in public and private, 'fit. Canadian. Mr. St. Laurent to Canada. One -suspects that politico outlaliy re- Pealed Mr, St. Laurent to himself. But for his accidental entry into politics the whole of this man would •never have been known to the nation or to himself. For observe the record so far: Here was a country boy out of a country. store in Compton who had made° himself one of the chief law- yers of Canada but, up to ten years ago, nothing more, and it seemed enough. He had passed middle age and yet half of his nature, one might say, and certainly this high- est igh est talents had not been uncovefed or even suspected, They were not fully suspected when he succeeded Mackenzie King. Only. polities at the highest level revealed them to their owner and to the public. Full Use Of Talents Begins At "first, it now seems evident, the shock of this transttit 11 from a par- taar'to a full use of his talents was severe. For a short time, A few weeks, Mr, St. Laurent showed it. By the election of 1949 the shock Shad been fully absorbed but not in the fashion which most of Mr. St. Laurent's friends suppose. It is said that, after 'briefly at- tempting to carry the methods", the outlook and the manner of the law Into the -Prime Minister's office, Mr. St. Laurent, an apt pupil, quickly learned a new approach to the pub- lic. The factual lawyer, the rather theoretical constitutionalist was transformed in the election as the, homespun, friendly, colloquial fig- ure of the hustings. The legend of "Uncle Louis," given f a "name and label by some imaginative newspa- per ewspaper writer,-' Sealed at first to be synthetic. Somebody, it was gen- erally thought, had taken the Prime Minister aside and taught him a new act. His enemies, hearing those radio addresses which, for Canadian purposes, were as effec- tive as Roosevelt's; fireside chats or Churchill's eloquence, imagined that Mr. St. Laurent had been 'tak- ing lessons. The True Man Emerges At Sixty The fact, like most important facts, was quite simple—for the first time, in the boundless terri- tory of politics, Mr. St. Laurent could be liilnself. The whole man, the instincts of the country boy, th.e inherited qualities of a people living in Canada for three centur- ies, combined with the accumulated experience of, his own sixty busy years fused in politics as they could not possibly develop in any other medium. At the proper moment --- probably • to his 'own surprise -'-.he fitted into the Prime Minister's of- fice as into a well-worn shoe. Many of his friends thought tile-'• were ob- serving a new man. What they be- held 'vas the true man and the whole man released into the ele- ment where he belonged, Theeeo- 1, grasped that fact before the pol- iticians. P iticians. They voted overwthelming- ly for a Prime Minister whose name they had hardly known yesterday and could not pronounce today. The man had 'met the occasion.
