by Statesman Observer Ottawa*- Theoretically, no group in Canada should be more expert'at sizing up the national poitical picture at any given moment than the prof essional dwellers on Parliament Hill. Con- ulsting ai Cabinet Ministers, Mem- bers af Parliament, senior pmrty officers and journaMltic observers, they live canstantly in an at- ziiosphere heavy with the drama of public affairs. They are in the very thick of whatever may hmp- pen ta be the cantroversy ai the moment. But that is just the trouble. In the words ai the aid adage, Par- liament Hill's specialists in the great game ai politics aiten are "'too close ta the woods ta sec the trees." They find it difficuit ta view things in perspective. They are apt, for example, ta credit too much significance ta saine by- election that the governinent has won simply by shameless out- pourinig ai millions ai dollars iroin the public tremsuny. On the other hand, they are no less likely ta' ~~THE CANADTAN S.TATESMAN, ~OWMMqVffL!, OHTAM~)~ _ ________ (ail ta discern the long-term pat- tern which the mare basic politi- cal trends ai the time mmy imdi- cate.

The article us thus regarded as a completely objective discussion of the current political scene in this country, and the conclusions which It draws are laoked upon as in- teresting in the extreme. The article is impressed with the strategic position of the Pro- gressive Conservative Party, whlch it regards as much more favour- able than has been appreciated so 1far by the Canadian public gener- ally. It believes that the P.C.'s stand on the Dominion-Provincial issue will demanstrate ilsefc tiveness with the passaeo turne. But it alsa believes that thel Brackenites have other mdvant- ages of the immediate moment. "The great mdvmntage the Con- servatives have, outside of the Dominion - Provincial relations question," the Atlantic Monthly article declares, "'is that they can promise, and shouici be better able than the Liberals ta eiiect, a real reductian in the horde oi 'bificials and buremus, and regula- tors, and inspectors who dug themselves in during the war and whom the present gavernment has flot the courage ta throw out." "The Liberals,"1 the Atlantic Monthly writer stresses, "'have had ta aPPly ta Parliament f* a con- tinuation af the special pawers which enabled thein ta aperate these contrais during the war and for two years miter it, but the Conseryatives put up a good fight for a much greater reduction ai the contrais than the governinent was willing ta accept and this attitude is, undoubtedly popular with the country.", On the issue of Dominion-Pro- vincial relations the Atlantic Monthly article remarks: "There is abviously a unmit ta the total amount ta be taken out ai a limited national incarne by way af taxes an persanal'and cor- poration incarne and inheritance. And the Conservatives in Ontario and their Allies, the purely French-Canadian Party called Union Nationale in Quebec, are taking the ground that the Llb- erals are destroying the autonomy ai the provinces by taking away their sources ai revenue . . They have at last found an issue upan which the French ai Quebec and the Conservatives ai Ontario can combine with saine degree ai plausibility."1 Ini conclusion the Atlantic Manthly article finds that "It looks as if the present tactics might have saine prospect ai suc- ceeding." If theY do one ai the factors will be, the writer adds, "the weaknesses which mlways develop in a party which has been long in power."

We can hold aur own in the British market.

These birds, acq4ulred fromn the Department of Fîsh and Game, have been fed and raised in pens, holding about 20 ta 25 per pen on farina in the district. As the cars, each conveying a few of the birds proceeded slow- ly along the roads, a bird or two were released from turne ta time. Upon approaching a wood or thicket, the birds, with a flutter of wings rose into the air and sailed over severai flelds before alightîng ta inspect their new surroundings. It is expected the pheasants will flot roam more than a hall mile ta a mile, and since they feed on grasshoppers and weed seeds will be a benefit to the far- mers on whose property they set- tic. Stan Linton, secretary-treasur- er of the Fish and Gaine Club, re- Ported that in the near future they hope ta obtain another 200 birds for raising and releasing. They wiil be kept approximateiy two weeks an the farins.
