Takinir a long distance view of the situation, th a t opposition,, u-'u? bitter and has been so fbr'long months as it-appears to MS who have no bias either for or, against the new economic nroposals. Like President Roosevelt, Premier Aberhardt has becii tiring to do something in a very unorthodox or, as many siiicci oiy believe, an u tterly insane way, and the best ,'method with such is to close up and let them hang themselves. Which (hev will'most assuredly do, unless their new formulas are •iflcj' all cofrect, when, they are worthy of all support.,,, As it iii i' i-(Mnier"AberhaTdt and' his" Government "have apparently- been given'a fu rther lease, of power, since the support of the cities and towns m ust how be added to th a t of the country, (list.victs.'

Allowing for the bad political tactics to which we have alluded, which may , and, may not have, affected the .result, it has to be i-eniombered th a t a ll-the power and prestige of the old economic order, both financial and political,• went down there, to signal defeat. .The continued unemployment and condition of trade has driven the average Canadian into th a t state of mind where" he is almost willing to try anything once, which is an un­ healthy if not a dangerous'.condition to_obtain.in .any democ­ racy. Further than tha t, he has realized th a t much- of the delay in .solving these vexed -questions has been and. is the ambiguous constitutional status existing as between th e Fed­ eral and IT'o.vincial Governments. There has been considerable passing- of the buck on the part of all, much quarrelling as to the exact "powers possessed b y each,- and- recently-three prov­ inces have for all intents ■ and purposes -asserted their inde­ pendence,of Ottawa. Meanwhile, men go hungry and business . generally does hot know what policies, to follow, because it * cannot guage ju s t w hat is going to happen.
