august 22 though a gen eral election may be sprung anj day now there is a curious lack of clear- cut political issues before the public in 1926 the constitutional question centering around the authority of the governor general was the highlight in 1930 it was cure employment or perish in the attempt in 1935 the cry was king or chaos so far 1939 has lamentably failed to produce either an outstanding issue or a bright slogan however there is plenty of time for these to emerge in 1930 the show was stolen by the dynamic personality of rt hon r b bennett who first raised the cry that unemployment was a national issue in 1935 the sensation was provided by the resignation of hon h h stevens and the launching of the reconstruc tion party one wonders what the coming election will provide a ong these lines light sklrmshmg up to now the political leaders have satisfied themselves with light skir mishing premier king- has been con tent to date to rely upon the reccrd although the experience in 1930 with similar tactics should be a disturbing thought dr manlon curiously enough for an opposition leader has also made quite a bit of the record of the con servative party he is busy defending attacks on consevatlve policy third- party observers say that of course the relative harmony between messrs king and manlon is that there is no serious clash between them they hold similar views on many matters the liberals however attribute the luke warm colorless nature of the cam paign to date to the fact that the con scrvative party has failed to produce an original or striking
