It has gone through two Feder al and eight provincial election: since its reor- ganization i n 1961, but Its total strength today still is well short of the high wa- ter mark reach- ed just after the war by the CCF. As a conse- quence, the N D P is engag- ed this week in another soul-searching. It is ask- ing itself: Was it a mistake to water down its socialist platform? Why won't union members support a union -endorsed par- ty? How can the CCF's tradition - R. Argyle Sell that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Ex- positor Classified Ad.

CONTROLLED HATCHING • DEPENDABLE SERVICE '3I Swift 1 al farm support be transferred to the ND?? Dissatisfied with the party's record at the polls, a top-rank- ing Ontario NDP'er, Val Scott wrote last week to federal lead- er Tommy Douglas to urge that the NDP re -study its image and structure. Mr. Scutt suggested that the party's tie-up with trade un- ions was hurting its electoral chances. Trade union financial support, he suggested, wasn't worth the price of losing favor with non-union voters who see the tie-up as linking the NDP with "Big Labor" and in some cases, corrupt labor. The Scott line has by now pretty well been rejected by the party leadership, both in On- tario and the west. I1t' Saskatchewan especially, where the party still puts its CCF identification first, the Scott criticisms were quickly brushed aside. Mery Johnson of Regina, NDP national president, said: "Our strength now rests with the lib- erally -minded people in the la- bor -movement." He added that in Saskatchewan, at least, the party still had strong farm sup- port. It is not surprising in view of the NDP's disappointing show- ing in recent elections, that voices are now being raised for another overhaul of the social- ist political movement in Can- ada, Left-wing 'political workers, no Less than those allied to oth- er parties, hunger for the sweet satisfactions of power. In the case of CCF -NDP faith- ful, who have worked selflessly to better the general welfare of the Canadian nation, the hunger may be all the greater. It was the CCF, in the cold, hungry days of the 1930s that pointed the way toward the pro- sperous welfare state that Cana- dians enjoy today. Under the inspired leadership of that saint of Canadian politics, Joseph Woodsworth, the CCF blueprint- ed every social improvement that we enjoy today. The honor list is long and noble ... . unemployment in- surance, medical and health prq- tection, farm assistance, re- training of the unemployed, family allowances and improv- ed pensions. The CCF advocat- ed these and many other social advances, forcing the old-line parties to implement them or risk defeat at the hands of the new party. Now, all these hard-fought ad- vances have been won. Others remain to be secured, and it is understandable that the NDP must wonder why it cannot win a mandate for policies which will sooner or later be imple- mented by other parties. And it is this, one must sus- pect, which causes the greatest chagrin among the NDP faith- ful. To see your party's planks lifted, one by one, by every other party in the land, while your own continues to suffer re- jection by the voters, must be a dispiriting experience. Even though the NDP has nev- er won federal power, and per- haps never will, leaders must not desert the principles which have contributed so greatly to a better Canada. To d"esert prin- ciples now in pursuit of power would bankrupt both the party and Canadian political life.
