According to one re- port starvation faces hundreds of families. A special correspondent of the Daily Herald thus describes what are termed miles of desolation: "Long lines of brussels sprouts, ragged and blue, look like the lines of a beaten army. Here and there a giant of a cabbage rises above the rest, its leaves in bluish- yellow rags and covered with lilli- putian hordes that have sapped its life. "The vegetable gardens give off a dreadful stench and at eventide the flies, rising in their myriads, give an impression of fog or of rain. Tt is a remarkable sight. It is also a menace. The medical officers have been prompt to rea- lize this. In consequence you see pyres and the plough. For no rain could save crops which would cost hundreds of thousands expenditure in harvesting alone." In other parts of England farm- ers are hauling water for stock over vast distances.

Three important benefits to the moral welfare of .

He continued: "I believe the law in a general way has worked out very well. I do not claim it is perfect. We will have to im- prove it from time to time.

Extension of the public owner- ship principle. A law to permit the election of police commissions. A liquor referendum, Compulsory public liability -au- tomobile insurance. Amendments to the Old Age Pensions and Mothers' Allowance acts. The manifesto criticizes Pre- mier G. Howard Ferguson, leader of the Conservative party, for bringing on an election 'long be- fore it was necessary to appeal to the country." It says that "posing as an advocate of responsible gov- ernment he has not thought fit to use the British method, where the Premier announces on the floor of parliament before the elected rep- I resentatives of the nation that on a certain date an election will be held. Instead of using the tactics of a fair sportsman, Mr, Ferguson waits his opportunity and lets the elected representatives leave the legislature thinking that another session will be held, and in an hour when least expected, he plun- ges the Province into the expense of an election campaign estimat- ed at $775,000) in order to gratify his lust for power and to gain political advantage for his party.

Marie, and that a director of the Insull power in- terests was appointed by the pres- ent government as government re- presentative on the Niagara Falls park commission, The manifesto ues: "In regard to the recent discov- ery of lignite coal in Northern On- tario, recently announced by Pre- mier Ferguson, the Labor party urges that such coal deposits in part contin- ' oy should not be leased to private .
