For many years--starting with the Port Perry Standard, this per has been considered an exponent of Liberal policies. It is a fact that the present editor has in most cases voted for the Liberal candidates, and reserves the right to vote and think as he pleases, just as any other citizen. So far as considering the Port Perry Star a Liberal organ, however, we beg to decline the honour, for these reasons: 1. Our subscribers include both Conservatives and Liberals; and they have a right to think for themselves. 2. No political information can be guaranteed by the editor as being entirely without bias. This being the case, articles that appear in the Star will be for information only, and so far as we can arrange it they shall he reliable. Our advertising columns are open to both political parties, at the same rates and under the same conditions. We shall welcome a constructive statement of the Conserva- tive platform, written in such style as the article on this page giving the Liberal platform. This article is published without cost, and a similar article from the Conservative angle, will be accorded the same courtesy. The Liberal Platform Synopsis of an Editorial from the Globe. In accordance with the foregoing article as to our attitude in this Federal Election, the following synopsis of the Globe's editorial on the Liberal platform is given. We shall be pleased to pubilsh a similar synopsis of the proposed constructive work which the Conservatives would carry out, if they are placed in office by the people. : In the forefront of the Liberal platform stands the Dunning Budget, with its chief item---the fostering of Empire trade. Markets are needed for a billion dollars' worth of Canadian pro- ducts, which do not seem to be welcomed in the United States. Indeed, the attitude of the United States seems to leave no option but to seek Empire markets for Canadian products. The recep- tion of the Dunning Budget in the Mother Country has been most cordial. The voters will have an opportunity to approve or dis- approve of this effort to cement British ties with Canada. _ The war pension legislation has given general satisfaction to the veterans and to their friends and admirers. This was a difficult problem, and the Liberal Government has met it in an ef- fective and satisfactory way. k _ : The liquor problem has been met by withdrawing clearances to rum-runners. This measure was much needed, and one must admit that it received considerable Conservative support. : The immigration policy has been placed on a new footing, giv- ing. the Provinces more control of their own affairs. This is a move in the right direction, as the Provinces should be in a better position than the Federal house to decide both the type of im- migrants required; and the number that can be absorbed in a given time, ; di This outline is not exhaustive, but gives the main issues and the accomplishments of the Liberal Government. | Ate Principals Forcing Youths to be Cadets? later, the General Council.

O'dell replied that if the name were furnished the Minister of Education, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, prime minister of Ontario, that prin- cipal would, on proof, be looking for another job within 24 hours. It is believed that Col O'dell as a representative of the Department of Education, will be duty bound to re- port the charge made and that the Minister of Education will have to take official cognizance of the matter.

G. Howard Ferguson, that the Department of 'Education is prepared to inaugurate in September next a of training for teachers at the normal schools. sachers are permitted to teach four years," said Mr. Ferguson, when questioned 'on the point, "before they are required to take their second year normal training. It is uncertain at the present time how many teachers desire to take up the second-year work this fall. If they come forward in sufficient numbers to warrant the second-year class of the course, this course will be set up. It all rests with teachers themselves. two-year course 'The Conservative Outlook. The campaign is on. Parliament is dissolved bus, under British practice, tHe Government carries on until its successor takes office. The election aroma is already in evidence through the country. As it develops the importance of the budget as an issue recedes. Except insofar as it is a compromise of principle on the part of the Government it has al- ready lost caste. Mr. Bennett and his Conservative aids have pointed out that it does not add one man to the employed of the Dominion and that, if it is fulfilling in any degree the stated expectations, through develop- ment of Empire trade, it will reduce employment in Canada. Tinkering with the tariff as affect- ing the United States through the medium of countervailing duties af- fects a total import trade of slightly more than $14,000,000 or approxi- mately 1% per cent of Canada's im- popts from that Country. These countervailing duties number sixteen items out of a total of 1188 in the new tariff schedules. " With respect to the extension of the British Preference the new items, ac- cording to Conservative criticism, fall within two classifications. The first is a splitting up of items already on the preferential list swells the total without affecting any change in con- ditions. The second is the supple- menting of the list with a wide range of items which Canada does not im- port from Empire sources and which Canada will not import from such sources under an additional five per cent. preference. Within the five provinces governed by Conservative Prime Ministers it is indicated that Mr. King's announce- ment that he would not give a "five cent piece" or a "single cent" to such provinces, will be a very live issue. Outstanding amongst the develop- ment during the last hours of parki- ment was the disclosure of the Gov- ernment's uneaseiness lest the forth- coming election should end in a stale- mate. Premier King discussed the possibility with the members frankly, setting forth what the course of the government would be in such a con- tingency. Considerable significance was attached to his pronouncement by political observers. It was interpreted as an indication that the Prime Minister viewed the outlook for his administration with so little optimisim that the possibility of a draw, not the probability of a victory, was engageing his thoughts. In the courseof his statements, Mr. | King declared that the government, if faced by a stalemate, would not at- tempt to carry on this time, but would advise His Excellency to summon parliament immediately in order that the future course of events might be determined as speedily as possible. It would follow as a matter of course that the Government would not pre- sume to represent Canada as the Im- perial Conference in London until the issue of confidence should be settled. Apart from this statement the winding-up routine business. Any- thing of a contentious nature was jettisoned, with consequent loss to many interests. Christian Scientists lost the amendment to the criminal code relieving them of the obligation of summoning medical attention in cases of serious illness. Montreal lost Federal assistance to a bridge project at Caughnawaga. The Gov- ernment however, was the principal sufferer, It failed to get through a bill to add a part of the district of "The idea of the second year of: Patricia to the riding of Kenora- training is thoroughly approved by ex-! Rain perienced educationalists. A repre- sentative deputation of public school teachers came to the department more than two years ago and urged that the normal school training be extend- ed to a two-year course, similar to the practice in England. This has now been done, but, as the teachers are free to teach on their interim cer- tificates for four years, we do not yet know how many of them will decide to take advantage of putting in their second year after two years' teaching. "The second-year course will begin at the normal schools at the same date about the middle of Séptember, as the y sch are etna ng their are demands in resolution, asserted that that the new plan will give to the training required in y River, of which the Minister of bor sits. Hon. Lucien Cannon, Solicitor Gen- eral, claimed that the section in ques- tion had been left out of any riding in 1924 redistribution. Hon Mr. Ben- nett, however, denying this, charged the "most bare-faced, bold, and in- quitous attempt ever made in the dy- ing hours of a parliament to pass a piece of political legislation." The purpose of the bill, as the opposition leader saw it, was to make Hon. Peter Heenan's seat safe for the Liberal Party. Hon. R. B. Bennett sounded the key- The Conservatives declared the bud- get itself is not an issue, so far as a choice between themselves and the government is concerned.

There promises to be a subsidery issue of importance in the campaign. It is over the Beauharnois power deal. The final days of parliament served to reveal the manner in which favored interests had been able to exploit a natural resource to provide a new "rat fund" for the government to defray election expenses.
