The actions of government leaders and the opinions of many leading Canadians seem to foreshadow the entry of a new and stronger labor party into politics. It may well be that the powers had reason to think seriously. Fed- eral authorities estimate a C.l.0. membership in Canada before the end of the present year. Organizers are even now at work in five indus- tries including the automobile indus- try, the rubber industry. the mining industry, the textile industry and the steel industry. Danger signals have begun to fty all over the industrial map of Eastern Canada. Settlement of the General Motors strike at Osh- awa, though not a 0.1.0. victory. was far from a definite defeat and the readiness with which the euxiliary divisions of the industry have signed agreements based on the terms of the Oshawa peace pact is ample evidence of the new found power of this or- ganization. But was all quiet? There are those who sense a subtle difference in this year's labor parade. They say it was better organized. larger. while many of the banners curried the letters C. LO. Mr. Hepburn is one of those said to have sensed the difference. A conference was held With the leader of the Conservative opposition and the subject of discussion hinged on the possible formation of a coalition government to face this new force in the land. The Honourable Earl Rowe is said to have had hurried conferences with Mr. Bennett. who was about to sail for the Corona- tion, and other members of the Con- servative campaign division and the answer, if there was any, was no.

Br Peter Randal There were I great many head- aches last week and it wasn't only the stock market. Income tax returns had to be filed. To most of us. I few dollars would look like prosper- ity but one London, Ontario, man Things are happening so swiftly in Great Britain that it seems almost too much for one government to handle. Many think it is too much and that the present government leaves a good deal to be desired. For instance there is a very indefinite British foreign poliey in regard to Spain. For weeks British freighters were forced to lay with rotting car- goes in French ports while thousands of civilians starved in beleagued Bil- bao. It wasn't the British navy that took the situation into its own hands, in an attempt to break the blockade of the insurgent Spanish fleet, but Captain David (Potato) Jones of the Seven Seas Spray. With typical bull- dog determination, Potato Jones de- fied the blockade, helped a little it must be admitted, by the presence of a great British battlecruiser which rolled, as if by accident. into the Spanish line of fire. Other food ships have followed the example of the Seven Seas Spray and the blockade is ended. General Franco is said to be plenty angry about it and back in London, Potato Jones is the hero of the hour. FLOODS AT HOME But Western Ontario had more to Worry about than more economic un- rest in the past week. The forces of nature rebelled and the strongest government can do little against riv- ers which rise twenty-eight feet above their normal levels in the course of a single night. A train was wrecked, houses were dashes to pieces, dams and bridges were swept away. Five people lost their lives, ten thousand were driven from their homes and the repair bill is variously estimated at from $3,500,000 to $5,- 000,000. Chairman E. V. Buchanan of the London Public Utilities Com- mission says it will be a year before the damage to the city water system has been repaired. So high has been the loss that a plebiscite on a pro- posed aduition to Victoria Hospital, long a cherished project, has been dropped. According to insurance companies, few people carried flood insurance. For years they have thought of Ontario as a haven of se- curity out of which they might peep at the devastation of flood, famine and dust storm; so characteristic of the United States of the Middle West. Now it is a different story. Many are suddenly realizing that these visitation, are not acts of God but the results of civilized greed. If Canada has been spared until now, it is only because our capacity has not allowed us to keep up with our America" contemporaries. Too many forests have been cut down. Too many swamps have been drained. Some system of water storage must be devised to take the place of these natural distributors. Already engin- eers are studying the possibilities of controlling the rivers of Western 0n. tario and it is to be hoped that the results will bear fruit in something more concrete than academic discus. sion. in England they'are really kick- ing about the income tax and with I far hiuer reason than the - Cenadiu. Under the new budget announced by Neville Chamberlain the prosperous Englishman must pay the government one duller out of ev- err four he makes. There were kicks from without the Conservative fold but also from within. These were the most important as having a possible bearing on Mr. Chamber- lain's elevation to the Prime Mina. tesuhit, on the retirement of Mr. Baldwin. But Mr. Chamberlain shrugs his lean shoulders and ex- plains that his "soak the rich" policy is only one means of attempting to raise the price of Britain's marma- ment program. $7.500,000,000 is a lot of money but in these precarious times.

AND CIRCUMSTANCE The war in Spain must take a back seat to the great Coronation pageant to take place in London next week. From far " India. fabulous princes are even now on their way to the centre of the Empire. But the com- mon people of India will not be there. They are protesting against the new constitution imposed upon them by British diplomacy or lack of it. From every Empire country. tn act from the whole world people continue the movement toward London. Great plans have been made for their re- ception. Hotels are booked to ca- pacity. Seats along the coronation route are selling as high as 8200. The parks will be thrown upen the night before the big event for those who want to sleep on the ground. All in all. Great Britain expects to make approximately $80,000,000 out of the big show. But behind the scenes things are not moving as smoothly as they might. 25.000 bus- men have seized upon the opportun- ity to strike for a seven and a half hour day knowing that their demands must be met before the Coronation if traifie is not to become hopelessly jammed. The strike is now on and no settlement in sight. A KiNG--RETiRED In a sleepy little courtroom at Ips- wich, a job lot of divorces were made final this week. Workmen were ham- mering on Coronation devorations outside as the famous divorce vase of Simpson was finally closed. It was distinguished from many others of its kind only by a different cypher.
