Here in West Vancouver Major Tapper lead the successful candidate by almost 3P0 votes and Grant MncNeil by 605 votes. Taking the country as a whole, a' Liberal victory had been trenorully expected, ..although scarcely the landslide, which eventuated. The Conservatives placed th^ir fortunes on Na­ tional Government and a general condemnation of the Gov­ ernment's war effort. The returns indicate clearly th a t Can­ adians throughout the country, possibly from past experience, did not favor National Government,, and were quite satisfied with what the Mackenzie King Governm ent: had done as re­ gards the war, Below will be found official figures of the voting, so far as it has been possible to obtain them up to the time of going to press: ' ' • J .

And it must be admitted tha t ;Canadians,. with the exception of a few odd individuals and little groups scattered here and there throughout the country, have never been more united in their determination to pull their , weight in the Emprie's life and death struggle'^against -the 'forces of world aggression. This is, of course, due chiefly to the fact-that only those who have wilfully closed their eyes to facts would deny the conflict was forced upon us. For there has been on< the part of the dictat­ ors a certain impudent self-asfeertiveiiess and a brutal disregard of the rights of others, especially of the weak, which make any other conclusion logically, impossible. So fa r as the few odd individuals.and little.groups referred to above are con­ cerned they have for years so taken advantage of the free­ dom of speech and' action i^rrhiftejd under our democratic system as to have rendered thein^lves marked men and women ̂ Being known they'fcan be watched, and, if they per­ sist in their subversive activities, ejan be placed where they can do no harm. ./ - Everybody knows the old saw about the power of argu- jnents on religion and politics to destroy friendship, although vontucius made no remarks on th e subject, so far as our knowl­ edge goes.
