ONTARIO’S POLITICAL LID IS OFF The lid of 'Ontario’s political pot is off and for the next two months or .so the campaign will be under way, peaching its climax, of course, on el- ■©ction day. Premier Hepburn, at his nominating meeting at St. Thomas, last Thursday, was expected to state the date of the elections. He did not go that far but he set the ball roll­ ing with the announcement that the election would be soon. The fact that the election will be held this Fall came not as a surprise as it was freely predicted that such would be the case. Premier Hepburn must be of the opinion that an elec­ tion at this time favors him as he could, by law, remain at the helm without future endorsation for a long time. To many an election is quite an event. These political-minded people get a great kick out of an election. There are many though who fail to get excited, indeed, we believe that the great majority are that Way. El­ ections to-day have not the same zip that they had years ago, party lines arc not so closely drawn and this leads to certain indifferences. How­ ever, it is reported that this election will be a hard fought one with both Mr. Hepburn, as Liberal leader, and Mr. Rowe at the Conservative helm, campaigning as never before. It may be with such a campaign ahead the old pot will boil as it has not done for some time. Fair-minded people will listen to and read the election propaganda and then go to the polls and cast their votes as they reason they should. It is this type of mind the leaders of both parties will be out to influence. It is these votes that win elections. 4: ij: ’ * FREEDOM OF THE PRESS Freedom of speech and freedom oi the press have always been a British principal so it is difficult for British people to understand why in Germany and Italy the press is more or less controlled by the powers that be. The > reason is quite obvious. In those die- I Duce joints Italian Royalty to Wit- tatorship countries the people are • ness War Games.” Mussolini will boil controlled either by fear or to use an American slang phrase, a good Hue. Probably no country except Germany or Italy, unless it Is Russia and Jap­ an, forces the will of government on its people as these two countries are to-day and have been for the past few years. The press is not always right by any means, but they have stood for years free to express opinions and by doing so have served well. A con­ trolled press such as they have in Germany and Italy is merely a sheet which vomits forth propaganda for the government and if they oppose or cross the authorities, off comes their head and their presses are silenced. During the last few months news­ paper representatives from Britain have been expelled from Germany and Italy. They were supposed to send only such news as was handed to them. The only countries that treat newspapers in this manner are those that are controlled by dictators or military powers. The freedom of the masses of the people is doomed when the press is muzzled. * sk * ♦ Two more weeks and schools will be opened for the fall term.
