'- This only goes to show that they not know their Bible because the were no lights in the Window for t prodigal son. All he_ get was go chains and fatted calves and he -had And his OW/1 way home. EVen if t Liberal Unionists were prodigal so -which they are not -the Oppositi could not afford to kill any veal f them on account of the high cost living. The light in the window much cheaper -although oil has go up too -and it is put there in. goo faith, not -for., prodigal sons, but f old friends and -members of the farni who may be warelexing in the cold an the dark. The Test thing the light in the wi dow wants to beckon is the rolig company of prodigal sons and sinner It is Simply calling the boys home - friendly twinide that conveys nothin but good will, It is more than , light -it is warmth and a welcome an if anybody thinks that he, has to corn in through the window simply becaus the light is there he has another gues corning, The light is a sign that th doorswings fre& and the latch. grin is on the outside and sensible peopl will; of course, come in by the doo which is the place to come in by and n through the window which is the plac where mosquitos and burglars an 'Other pests enter. Meanwhile the strayed Liberals o the other side M the House cast variou doubts on the light. Some say the it may be only a light and a window frame with no stout planks to make shelter fa the regenerated libera party.' Others complain that, whil leader MacK.enzie is the official sig nailer, he is assisted by a eommitte of ten, which makes the light hard t follow. When the light is in so man hands it is hard to keep track of as will -a -the -wisp -now here, now there now nowhere at all. They're waiting -so they say -until the light become one mares job and he has the job fo keep.. They do not expect the ligh to shine steadily and clearly until th National Convention is called and permanent leader is -chosen. Thie i a slim excuse, of course -there's reall nothing uncertain about the light - but it. goes to ehow that the wanderer are wistful about it. Th,e Hon. Frank Carvell, as I re member, refused to see the light, fo the present. Like the farmer who sat a giraffe for the first time he said "There aint no such durned thing.' Carvell has long had a low tariff ligh of his own. and it isn't so long ago tha he and that other Fighting Frank - Oliver to wit ---were flashing it vig'or ously. But just now, Mr. Carvell has gone out of the signalling business and the gleams he sees across the waves are not inviting. Somebody is throw- ing stones at the Carvell light -Charley Murphy perhaps -and somehow or other the stones seem to land hard on the Liberal organization in Western Ontario. People who carry glass lant- erns shouldn't throw stones -it's a bad way to harmonize the party. Meanwhile the light holds out to burn. The lion. Jamees Calder sees it, but is loth, for the time being, to leave Union Government which at least keeps his back warm, and to step oat into the cold future whither the Ight leads. Instead he sets his own light in the window for Premier Gouin of Quebec, who is on the outside, look- ing in. What will Premier Gouin do? What did September Morn do ---did she take the plunge or did she continue to shiver on the brink? The Hon. Thomas Crerar recognized the light at once, answered heartily that it was the same old light. that he had always -worked by, a light that Grain Growers and United Farmers admitted was almost identical with their own -a good light, a true light, Almost was the Hone Thomas -.no Thomas, the doubter this -persuaded. He put one foot out toward the friend- ly he backed up, Henders and Richardson and other Western 'members eaw the light more or lees distinctly but professed to fear pol- ities-theu'adit politics might clog the wick -and said they V10 -1114C1 stay where they were for a while anyway. Maharg had no misgivings about the light, in the, window -admitted that there was a light and a window and a weleeene behind it -arid then asked savagely why Union Government hadn't a light of its own. Maharg rather ruffled Union Government, They are not in a position to start a light of their (awn but 'rumor has it that they will burn. the seven per cent, war duty and the duty en Agricultural hn- 4*tern, Mein- ' me, how full pneng, ent ent parts and plements tek hers' feet wa In the fulln time will have to b nobody knows-Unt break up into its ce •••••••••••, the Liberals in it mil follow their low eriff light and the i. servatives, their high tariff light whic glows clear and steady in the hands of the Hon. Bob' Rogers, Sir Sam Hiighes, Col. John .Currie and the other auld lichters. All of Which means that f Union Govern - merit started to hang out tiny other lights now, thee a red- one to indicate danger, or a green one to say "go ateady," it would have so many lights to steer by that the ship would go on the rocks. As soon as the two parties have their charts mem:fed out their courses laid and their pilots aboard, Union government will cease to exist, Meanwhile to use a nautical phrase, the ship of state is "in stays" and as far as lights are concerned the casual observer doesn't know whether they are bow lights or stern lights, whether the ship is going or coming, backing or filling, drifting or sailing, The chances are that she is doing all six. Union Government is a for -and -aft arrangement, 'anyhow. Mr. Fielding did not apply the blind eye to the light in the window. No, indeed. He saw it the very first time' -good old light shilling bravely as ever. But he said, $sru take it for granted: A light like that has plenty of oil from public opinion. It will be shining with as pure a flame: a year hence as it ,is now. Cheer up boy - keep the home fires burning and when these fellows are up to their neeks in the swamp, I'll lead the rush toward ytur friendly signal." 'Mr. Fielding is a philosopher. He knows that every- thing comes to the light that waits. Among those who temporizedwith the light in the window was Dr. Mi- chael Clark, who took the grottfel that it was too good to beAtrue. Ile sur- Mised that it mightebe false morning, sun dogs, a Catherine wheel, almost anything but a real light in e real window. He would haveeto be surer of it.before he made a move. His ex- perience was that the light got smoky, when everybody was inside and the door locked. As if to, answer him the McMaster resolution was produced which showed that the light in the window was in good working order, the wick trimmed, the oil pure and. the flame steady. Union Government did withit, what it did With the knighthood question - treated it as a want of conadence no - tam. In other words it drew the blind, so that this fierce white light in the window wouldn't hurt its eyes. However the 'light is still there and any .strayed soul that remains out on the hills away has only himself to bleme. F. H, G. .
