Predictions, Perilous
IT WAS AT the 1957 Dominion
election, yoti will recall, that one of the
best taught lessons of journalism Was
laid on, It was basic: "Never take any-
thing for granted.”
Remember that Canada's national
magazine, MacLean's . appeared on the
newstands the day of the election, or
very shortly following it, with editorial
material based on the premise that the
Liberals had .been re-elected, and reas-
ons set forth pointing out why they
had been.
Of course, the reason was that
MacLean's was trying to be timely, and
had to go to press much too early to
have the results of the election at hand:
They were following an old daily paper
ruse, of writing the story ahead of time,
and hoping that the facts would fit,
It was a strong reminder that pre-
dicting the future (especially with re-
gard to election results) was in the
realm of fool's activity, and even the
mighty could fall with a resounding
smash.
But predictions continue to fascin-
ate us.
For instance, it is easy enough to
• make 'the sweeping statement that John
Diefenbaker will be re-elected and most
of his cabinet with him, and enough of
the other Conservative members to
form ,a government. But where do you
go after that? '
Analysing the rest of the situation
is a tricky task. Will the entry of Social
Credit steal votes from the Liberals, or, •
from the Conservatives? Will the Lib-
erals be able to gain enough seats that
they can make the 'Conservative mem-
bers hue more closely to their knitting
than, they have done in the past few
years? '
Will the New Democrats 'come
through w,.ith flying colours as their
many supporters hope, and at least
show up tri Ottawa in enough numbers
to have their modern ideas heard?
Mr. Diefenbaker says that the New
Democrats have no chance of forming
the next government, and urged the
people in British Columbia to vote for
someone who will have a chance to
"take part in a crusade on behalf of an
expanding Canada".
That is a fine thought. d However,
again analysing the situation, we would
wonder if Mr., Diefenbaker has for-
gotten so soon the exhilerating• sweep
into power that his own party exper-
ienced in 1957. After all, that was as a
result of people wanting a change.
Then we ponder just how much
of a change it would be for Canada to
return a Liberal government. at Ottawa.
And we ponder many other things.
Among them is why the political party
headed by Lester Pearson feels it can
honestly grumble at John Diefenbaker
for devaluating the Canadian dollar,
when it was under the Liberal govern-
ment prior to 1957 that we as a nation
started feeling so all mighty sure of
ourselves, that an inflated dollar seem-
ed a healthy thing. It was not healthy,
as more recent events have proven. It
appears now that in terms of world wide
trade our dollar should never have gone
up so in value, and now that we have to
tuck in our belts, it hurts considerably
more than it would have if it had not
gotten out of hand in the first place.
But we will go on pondering -even
unto election day, and the announce-
ment of Canada's decision that night.
Of one thing only can we be sure,
and that is that we'll be glued to a tele-
vision set that night, right after the re-
sults of our own Huron riding are
known. The cross -Canada unveiling of
votes is more fascinating than the
Stanley Cup championship.
A Victim of 'Circumstances
The little dog across the street
Looks so forlorn and sad;
He wonders why he's tied all day,
"Has he been very bad?"
We're • To Blame
"We cannot blame anybody other
than ourselves, if the results of living
beyond our means have now caught up
with us," says Stuart Armour, ecbnomic
adviser, The Steel Company of Canada,
Limited. "Actually, we must in all fair-
ness blame ourselves rather than gov-
ernment for what has happened to our
economy. No nation can survive if its
citizens seek to,. evade their personal
responsibilities. There is no ' point in
lopking to someone else to solve the
problems which we now face. We must
avoid the fatal mistake of thinking that
government—any government—can do
for us what we should do for ourselves."
He has a strap around his neck,
Attached to it, a chain;
He'd like to rid himself of both
And wander off again.
It seems so cruel to tie a dog
When he would like to run,
But laws were made to be obeyed
By each and everyone.
So, for the present he must stay
In his own small domain;
When garden things are gathered in
He will be free again.
(Inspired by the little d'o'g which
had to be kept tied all summer.
Thetis the law in Mount Forest.)

SUGAR and SPI(:E
Fellow suggested I write a
column this week about the
election. "You know the sort
of thing," he said airily. "Dief-
enbaker drivel, Pearson poppy-
cock, Douglas dribble." It's .all
very well for .horn. But it's not
so easy fear a columnist who is
scared stiff of offending his
readers.
Besides, I'm - not that type
of fellow. I, have enough faults
of my .own without'p'ioking hal-
es in dedicated chaps who are
ready and wiling to give aWa(r
every nickel they can squeeze
out of •us.

Why should I ,admit that
every time .Diet shakes his wat-
ales at me on the television, 1
almndst ,burst out laughing?
Why should 1 confess that
each :time Mike lisps 'another
platitude I plunge into despair?
Why should I coarse right out
and state bluntly that Tommy's
folksy manner
and oarefelly
studied •anecdotes . bore me
rigid?
There's another character
around there somewhere called
Johnson or Swa'nsen 'or Gonvpe
son •ar something, but I haven't
seen much cif hiin and I don't
knew much about the Crucial
Septic party, or whatever they
call it. He's the beet lboikin;g
one of the lot, but 1 quit voting
for the .best -looking candidates
iliiany last year in ht
Every day I read • h school:
the .papers
and stay ta aK certain Who... is
aliaad: And every der T bee
aline mere confused. All they
tell me is that Diefenibakem' is
gathering inoanenbum, Pearson
is gaining strength, Douglas is
(By W. B. T. SMILEY)
rolling them in aisles out west
and the Crucial Septic chap
is packing them in down in
Quebec.

As fon platforms, they are
even more confusing. The whale
thing reminds me of one of
those Three Stooges comedies.
One of the parties nails a plank
into his plaitfoxm. As soon as
he turns his back to get an-
other plank, one of the other
comedians walks away with the
one he .jest nailed down. Whole.
each of the three is trying to
build a platform with planks
swiped from the others', their
idiot cousin is down in the
basement constructing a mas-
sive platform which he will
never be able to get either out
of the callar window or up the
cellar stairs.
* * *
The giveaway programs have
,also become inextricably inter-
woven. By this tame I haven't
a clue es to which party is giv-
ing the biggest old -age pension,
which is giving away free medi-
cine, which 'is going to reduce
taxes, or which is going to end
unemployment by sending all
the unemployed .to school and
paying them a 5'alary to •go.
About all :that I have been
able to gather in concrete farm,
as the whirlwind campaign
kicks up the chaff, is that all
parties are an favor of the
common mean and 'motherhood,
and that alt parties. are againstwar, lung cancer, sin, crop flail=
u -ries and the other tliffee per
ti'es.
Wewere trying .bo, govt things
out at the dinner table .the oth-
er night. My eon, who IS 14,
came up with the idea that
suggests he aright have a bril-
liant political future. He
thought one party should offer
a national pension of one dollar
a month for each year of your
age.
This would eliminate 'a lot
of the squabbling over the old-
agepension. Of couns'e,. to get
it going, en the right foot, we'd
throw out tihe baby bonus.
Those kids are getting so much
money when they're little that
mast of them are ruined by the
time they're about six years old.
Then we'd give everybody a
straight dollar a month per
,birthday. If you were seven,
you'd get seven smackers a
month. If you were 84, you'd
get $84 a month. What coulcl
be more fair? And it's the
only thing I've ever heard of
that might ease women over
that 39 -mark gracefully.
,a *
And that seems to be my only
solid contribution, until I can
spend another week or so: an'-
,alyzing the campaign, Let's
see, now, if we can get things
'straightened out a bit, before
we leave it:
The socialists are lndeepee.
The Crucial Septics are going
to put bhe dollar back lap to
what it's worth fifty cents'.
The Liberals, laving up to their
name, are going to give away
everything that isn't nailed
down, The Tories are going to
run on their record and,

The PM also hurled a chat-

whether the Liberals would re-

they are elected.
"I will be frank," Mr. Pear-
son said in reply. "We aren't

are i. n Winnipeg. Former

ing to recapture Winnipeg

vince.

The Social Credit campaign
has been surprisingly quiet in
B.C. and the party is not ex-
pected to do much mare than
draft} off PC votes, thus helping
Liberals and NDP.
In the West, Liberals and
New Democrats look to me ,as
if they should each win about
15 seats, with perhaps: five go-
ing Social Credit. That would
leave the PC's with 37 seats. A
tight race in the East could
thus bring all parties to the
"moment of truth" in the West

NEXT WEEK: What to look
for election night.
Messages To Huron Voters.
Following are two articles published free of charge in the interests of
supplying readers with information about candidates in the June 18 election.
Space on this page has been offered t o each of the four candidates.
Social Credit
The four basic principles
were ,covered in last week's Is-
sue. From these basic principl-
es Social Credit offers a com-
prehenniive and practical seven
paint program to develop a
freer and more prosperous
Canada, and to guarantee econ-
axnic security to every citizen.
These seven paints will be de-
tailed in this and next week's
issue.
Free Enterprise
To encourage free enterprise,
and to restrict monopoly, Social
Credit would:
—Provide for all sections of
society, and for all branches of
industry, a just and equitable
economic climate designed to
encourage enterprise, reward
initiative, and preserve the in-
dividual's freedoms and respon-
sibilities.
—Prohibit abuse and exploit-
ation of the public by vested
interests, combines, and other
forams' of monopoly.
'-Respect and preserve the
dignity of man and the rule of
la w , guaranteeing absolute
equality before the law to all
men irrespective of colour,
race, creed or social status.
Economic Development
To provide the economic cli-
mate necessary for expansion
and development of Canada's
resources and industries, Social
Credit would:
—Set up a two price system
parity pool for agriculture and
basic industry. Tariff income
derived from goods purchased
through the sale of agricultural
exports will be reserved to sup-
plement this parity pool
—Explore new home and for-
eign markets, and develop freer
trade through agreements with
the United States, the Common-
wealth, Latin America, and
other ifiiiendly nations.
Fiscal Policy
To effectively limit Canada's
growing burden of debt . and
taxation, Social Credit would:
—Establish a pay-as-you-go
system of government designed
to ,haft Canada's ruinous deficit
finance policies.
—Make the Bank of Canada
an effective 'agency of Parlia-
ment, so that Canada's credit
can be used for the benefit of
every Canadian:
—Lower taxes to encourage
individual and corporate enter-
prise by;
Progressively decreasing cor-
poration taxes, with special
consideration far companies
having at Least 51 percent
Canadian ownership and man-
agement.
Allowing equitable recapture
and depletion allowances to en-
courage Canadian investment
and devellopment.
Authoriziig depreciation ail-
lowances an private homes,
Increasing family ittcoane tart
exectfiptiotig for d IiefdaEitt,
Social Credit Candidate,
Earl Dangles,
New Democrats
As intimated in my last art-
icle I will try to give you my
idea of Canada's economic con-
dition.
When we speak of billions or
even millions I feel as if I were
travelling in space so I will
think of Canada as a family
size farm.
Let us suppose there was a
family farms of 100 acres beside
a town back in 1951. The faxen
income ,is good, due to the post-
war boom, and the farmer is
happy. Prices drop a bit but
the Korean war keeps the
economy going fairly well and
the farmer still has money to
spend, 1955, money starts to get
scarce but the farmer has be-
come accustomed to spending.
He makes $2,000 but unfortun-
ately finds near the end of the
year that he has spent $2,500.
It just 'happens that one of the
factory employees in the town
has saved enough money in the
"boom" years after the war
to build the house he has al-
ways wanted. The factory
worker buys •a lot from the
farmer' at $1,000. The fanner
is happy he hacl a "trade defic-
it" but by selling some of his
"natural resources" he is $500
up.
The businessmen love him.
His money is at a • premium.
($1.06 es reported in last
week's article by the Liberal
oandid'ate. This was in the per-
iod of Liberal Administration,)
The following year, since the
farmer had sold some of his
land and because of lower pric-
es his income dropped to
$1,900 but again a factory
worker appeared to purchase
another lot at $1,000. The far-
mer Lias only $400 to the good.
This is repeated for a few
years with the farmer's income
dropping due to reduced acre-
age but the deficit made up,
fiest with the sale of one lot a
year, then two, then three. Butt
the factory is now working re-
duced hours. Suddenlythere
are no more buyers f or
lots and the farm income has
dropped to $1,300. He needs
$1,200. He wants a mortgage.
The money lenders look the
situation over and are not
pleased with the risk. But,
"Yes he can have .a ''bonus'
mortgage." That is for a $1,500
