THURSDAY, JANUARY 17th, 1957 EDEN OUT, MACMILLAN 1N Political unrest in Britain has been some - wt lessened by the resignation of Sir An- rony Eden and the formation of a new Conservative Government under Ilarold Mac- iitllana Sir Anthony is withdrawing from public life ostensibly because of ill -health, but the failure of the Anglo-French' Suez affair a doubt had much to do with it, Macmillan stood staunchly by Eden in that i1'1 -fated venture and declares that he has not changed his views regarding it, but Eden is the scape- goat. There is deep resentment among Britons, at least among those who supported Sir .An- thony, at the way in which he has been treated, and much of this resentment is directed at the The NOT SETTLED strike of the Canadian Pacific rail- waymen has been lifted and the trains on the vast transcontinental system are running 'again. The main question in dispute, how- ever, has not been settled, merely shelved for a few months while a commission of three edges ciolleets and examines the facts and gives a'En,ding as to whether the railway com- pany is or is, not justified in doing away with airemen (or helpers to the engineer) on diesel engines on freight trains and in yard opera- tions. What the judges think about it may not nettle the dispute,) either, for the railwaymen's r United States Government. Washington was shocked, annoyed, and took , it as an affront, when the attack on Suez was launched without notice given to the United Nations, particularly the United States. -Now President Eisenhower is asking Congress to give him power to send U.S. troops, without consulting his, own Con- gress or his allies, to any'point where aggres- sion seems to be raising itn head. Eden ie pilloried for doing; what the President pro- poses to do. In Britain the• Labor party is demanding a ge.eral election, counting on the reaction age°: ;;;it the Suez bungle to swing them back. into power, but the Conservatives have a fairly comfortable majority which they hope to re- tain until their term in office expires. UT, POSTPONED union would not agree to accept the judges' decision as binding. The judges are to have until October to report and in the meantime there 'will be an uneasy peace, with the pos- sibility that the strike may be renewed in full force. o - The ten-day strike established two things elearly: (1) that the coast-to-coast tie -'up of one of the country's great railway systems was exceedingly unpopular with the public; (2) that the weight of public opinion as to the merits of the position., taken respectively by the strikers and the railway 'company was deieidedly against the strikers. THE GORDON REPORT The Gordon Commission, appointed to re- port on prospects Tor Canada's economic future, and headed by Walter L. Gordon, a Toronto accountant, has submitted its report, which will provide texts for numberless polit- ical speeches before the coming Federal elec- tion, and then perhaps be forgotten. The• report had a rather unfavorable in - e iii'Fd lig f a, a i .-ealt-._iaiade the predic- tion, which of course was seized by the daily papers as a.: dainty bit' 'cif mentis, that .,-iim . .. years Canadians will be earning 75 per cent. more than at present, with a 31 -hour work week. This seems somewhat outside the intend- ed scope of the commission, and readers of the own Memory's Lane 45 Years Ago Though �h the local /option fol'4C5 lost their bane at the polls, they annolanceal (they wouldpetition Town Council to cut the slumber of liquor licenses in Goderich from nine to our.

The Dominion Board of Railway Oo missionems ordered construc- tion of anrater-switching between the Gid Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways at Goderich. The inter -switching was to be located on the commercial wharf, a short distance west of the Western Canada Flour Mills. The Seafor±th E positor rapped postal authorities for failing to install telephones in the pest of- fices at Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich. Meeting in Goderich, represent- atives of interested district muni- cipalities decided . to ask the On- ttario Railway and Municipal Board to investigate the Ontario West Shore -Railway.. It was reported that the company had -spent $600,000 in constructing 15 miles of railway. report might wonder how any serious-minded commissioner. could sponsor such a predietion without fore knowledge of possible wars, strikes, depressions and what not that could up- set this fine prospect. And if incomes are to in- crease so hugely, what about the value of the dollars so earned? Are they to be 50c dollars, 25e dollars, or 10e dollars? True, We have nart. read tiie report.

EDITORIAL NOTES We have just about come to the conclusion that We chose the wrong job when we were younger than we are now. Here is Jackie Robinson, retiring from the Dodgers roster And from baseball at 18 years of age, in"spite of an offer of $50,000 from another club for next year. He must be spouting money, and look at all the fun he has had every summer and the trips to Florida in the winter for training. Fifty thousand for playing ball and free admission at the gate! Yea, we missed it,. . . But perhaps we would not have been much use at the bat.
