The Sweeping
rift LIBERAL VICTORY in Monday's
Federal election, was the most decisive in, the
history of Canada. In fact, it was so oneerided
that• many Liberals could hardly believe their
ears, and also in fact, the result has had a
rather sobering effect, even on the Liberals
themselves.
Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, his
Government and the members of his party in
Parliament, are faced with a tremendous re-
sponsibiltiy. The fact that, the endorsation
given them was so overwhehning carries with
it the implication that much will be expected
by an electorate which voted nearly fifty per
cent 'for the winning party.
And here crops up an anomaly in our
political system, Whereas the Liberals secured
about half of the popular votes in the country
as a whole, they elected about three-quarters
of the members. On the other hand, the Pro-
greseve Conservative candidates tallied about
thirty per cent of the popular vote—which was
'More than pre-election polls indicated — but
Liberal Victory
elected only 16 per cent of the members chosen.
Too, the 'CCF amassed 13.6 per cent of the
popular vote, but elected less than five per
cent.of the total House.
The result of the election would indicate
that Canada is on its way back to two-party
government—or what amounts to that. And
the two-party system—with all its defects—
probably is muchbetter than the "splinter"
system we have had in Canada for a number
of years, and which ha's been the ruination of
countries like France.
Santa Claus.has.been very generous with
his baby bonuses, old age pensions, reductions
in income tax, and ,what have you, and he goot
countless votes for his generosity. But come
a recession—or something like that --the same
Santa Claus overnight could change very easily
into a bad old bogeyman.
The normal• life of this next parliament is
not more than five years; and believe you us,
plenty could happen inthe next five years in
this country! Make no mistake about that
Tomorrow We . Celebrate Canada's Birthday
CANADA, WHOSE DESTINY is that of
being one of the world's greatest nations, will
celebrate her 82nd birthday tomorrow, July 1•.
For it was on that date, back in 1867, that the
British North America Act, federating the four
original provinces, came into force.
It is interesting, therefore, to recall that
less than a hundred years ago, the noted British.
historian, Sir Archibald Alison, wrote about
Canada: "seven -eighths of this immense sur-
face . . . are doomed to eternal . sterility from
th e destiny of this country—its climate, and its
yields only a scanty heritage to the reindeer,
the elk and the muskox."
In his day, Alison could see only two of
the vital elements that would go into shaping
the destiny of this country --is climate, and its
lend. What Alison could not foresee at all was
the third factor the character of the people
who would be Canadians, who would make
Canada a nation in the century that has watch-
ed the migration of civilization that has been
called "the northward course of empire."
The name Canada has had many different
meanings. Within the past year, it has achieved
a new meaning. Once, Canada meant only the
north shore of the St. Lawrence River, from
the Ottawa River to the Saguenay; at another
time it included in its meaning the lands that
are now the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin; later, it meant only
what is now Ontario and Quebec. Today, with
the addition of Newfoundland end Labrador,
it means the whole of British North America—
the largest country in the Western Hemisphere,
third largest in the world, a single country
with an area of more than 3,500,000 square
miles, larger than all of Europe.
Nature has been good to Canada and, since
Alison's day, Canadians have made much of
their natural heritage. Some other countries
have more of some of the basic materials that
are the backbone of industrial prosperity, but
nowhere else in the world are there so many
of them, in such vast quantities. Canada actually
produces more nickel, more asbestos, more
newsprint, more platinum than any other coun-
try. Only one other country in the world has
more gold or woodpulp or more exportable
flour. Two countries have more copper than
We, and three have more silver, wheat, lead
and magnesium, but Canada has plenty of all
of them for her own needs and more besides.
In the day of the British historian, Alison,
no one could have foretold what Canada was
to become; what ambition and energy and
enterprise of a people would achieve. For
instance, today there are 2,635,000 homes in
Canada and 54 per cent of them are owned by
the people who live in them; on the farm, 81
per cent of all the homes are owned by the
users, Every second house has a car. Better
than three-quarters of all homes in Canada
have a radio; 40 per cent of them have tele-
phones, 51 per cent hove refrigeration, and
24 per cent have electric vacuum cleaners.
Almost all urban homes have electrical ser-
vice, as has one in every five farm houses.
Perhaps these ere only material evidences of
Canadian progress, but they are the common-
place, everyday benefits that Canadians have
gained for themselves.
It seems that Canadians need not be greatly
worried about taking a back seat to anyone.
Although signs of trouble are appearing, the
ultimate future of our country appears very
bright indeed.

To your youngster a dollar
means more now than it will
in later life. If he can retain
this youthful respect for money
as he matures, he will be likely
to form lifelong habits of wise
spending and regular saving. As
countless "success -stories' show,
these habits are of vital, assist-
ance in career -building and happy
living.
You can impress these import-
ant traits on your child's mind by
using a simple method. Thousands
of Canadian parents have em-
ployed it successfully. You just
give your youngster a dollar to
start a Bank of Montreal savings
account. You encourage him to
save from his pocket money for
some of the things he, wants.
Thus, you help him to help him-
self, and he achieves patience and
purposefulness.
Why not send him around to
the B of M to open his• account
tomorrow? Mr. W. H. Robinson,
local branch manager, and his
staff will be glad to assist your
youngster to start his own "suc-
cess -story." 26-b
