PAGE TWO Red Deer Advocate SUNSHINE AND Published at No. 21, First Street Southeast RED DEER By THE RED DEER ADVOCATE, LIMITED Publishers and Proprietors FRED TURNBULL, President si F, P. GALBRAITH, Secretary Bubscription 2.00 per year; 2.50 to United States Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, MRS. GEO. W. SMITH THERE will be widespread sorrow at the passing on Monday of Mrs. George W. Smith, widow of the late Geo. W. Smith, former provincial member for Red Deer, and daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Leon- ard Gaetz, the founders of Red Deer. Until illness laid her aside in her later years, there was no individual in this whole district who took a more kindly interest in the people who live here. Red Deer was her home for more than sixty years and the number of people who experienced her graciousness and warmth of heart down the years could never be counted. They were all comfort- ed and cheered and helped by her sym- pathetic interest. She played an important part in the making of this town, a part that perhaps is not fully realized. Those of us who live here now do not realize as we might how th people who establish a town put their mark on it. It is in large measure due to Mrs, Smith, her father and mother, -her husband, and her brothers and sisters that this town of ours got started on such sound lines, and her individual contribution was one of the greatest, THE BRITISH , COLUMBIA ELECTION MIER JOHN HART and his Coalition government received an emphatic en- dorsation from the British Columbia elec- tors on Thursday and were returned with an increased majority, winning 35 of the 48 seats, with three still undecided. The . CCF., which held 15 seats at dissolution, returned ten members, a loss of five, with 8 possibility of gaining one or more of the doubtful seats. It is difficult at this dis- tance to decide what were the dominant factors in the result. One experienced observer with a reasonably good knowledge of the British Columbia picture, believes that the program of the Coalition govern- ment, which includes large provincial elec- trification schemes, made a powerful ap- peal to many who want these things and who might have voted for the C.C.F. The provincial legislature, as well as the C.C.F. Party, lost heavily by the defeat of four . prominent C.C.F. members in Vancouver Mrs. Dorothy Steeves, North Vancouver; Mrs. Laura Jamieson, Vancouver Centre, and Mrs. Grace MacInnis and Grant Mac- Neil, in Vancouver Burrard. All four were experienced and well-informed members and had been members for some years, Mrs. Steeves since 1934. The verdict was de- cisive, and Mr. Hart and his colleagues have reason to be well staisfied with the result. THANK YOU, SIR A SEEre has been fortunate in her sol- diers in this and two other wars. Her men have stood up with the best from other parts of Canada and other nations on the battlefields of land and sea and air. They were good boys to start with, and they were well trained. Much of that training was given to them in their home province, and the man chiefly responsible for the high standard of that training was Brig. F. M. W. Harvey, V.C., District Officer Command- ing, Military District 13. It will be with mixed feelings that the people of the prov- ince, military and civilian, will read of his early retirement. They will be glad for his sake he is to have a rest after thirty years of soldiering, the last six in the greatest war in history. They will. be sorry that the enormously difficult job of reconverting the military machine built up in this province is not to be directed by his skilled hand. The load of respohsibility on a D.O.C. is heavy., The ultimate responsibility for every individual in the Army in Alb rta and every piece of military equipment rests on his shoulders. Brig. Harvey would be the first to tell you that the excellent staff he has built up is primarily responsible for the successful operation of this huge ma- chine, but that is only partly true. No matter how good the staff may be, without the spark of quality at the top they cannot function at their best. The fact that Brig. Harvey won the Victoria Cross in, the First Great War is an indication of his personal courage. The further fact that M.D. 13 gained the reputation of being the best operated military district in Canada shows his administrative ability. He has earned the respect of the many thousands of sol- diers who have passed through his hands and. of all the civilians with whom he has come into contact during his long years. of service. They are deeply grateful to him for the splendid job he s done and they will unite in wishing him everything of the best in the quieter years which lie ahead. SHADOW Topays news presents an unhappy pic- ture. Fighting in China, in Indo-China, and in Java, revolutions with more fighting in Venezeula, in Argentine and in Brazil, grim total, Millions of people in add up to Europe and a are still starving in spite of the best efforts of the Allied Nations and UNRRA and other agencies. But there are some bright spots, and they hold a great deal of promise for a happier future. Eighty per cent of the pre-war cultivated area of the Ukraine has been restored to grain pro- duction. This is one of the richest and larg- est grain producing areas in the world and before the war supplied the bulk of the enormous grain requirements of Soviet Russia. Its restoration to production means that millions of hungry people will soon have enough to eat. There are other hope- ful signs. Speaking in Quebec following his appointment as director-general of the Food and Agriculture Organization, Sir John Orr, the great Scottish nutritionist, pointed out to his audience that all peoples every- where could obtain enough to eat and to shelter them if all the nations of the world co-operated and concentrated on such a worth-while objective. He was careful to point out that this condition does not exist now, and never has existed, but he was sure that it was easily obtainable. The success- ful launching of a world-scale project like the Food and Agriculture Organization, set up for this specific purpose, is-one of the most hopeful things of this generation. Canadians may well be proud that it was in their country that this great undertaking began its work. BRITISH M.P. s REBEL (By Elmore Philpott) SIXTY BRITISH LABOR M.P. s HAVE signed a public protest against the armed intervention of British troops in Indonesia and Indo-China. Here surely is the begin- ning of the wrath to come unless the Attlee government. changes its ways. The Churchill government was swept out of office, not because the British people wer unaware of, or ungrateful for, its mag- nificent wartime achievements. It was be- cause Churchill was not considered the right man for the job of making peace that the greatest wartime leader that Britain ever produced was thrown out. Hence the growing dismay and now rebellion of or- dinary. Labor Members of Parliament. For the new government has only carried on and worsened some of the most mischievous of Churchill's foreign policies. Nothing that Churchill did in Greece, or did not do in Spain, is as bad as British forces have been compelled to do in Asia by a Socialist government. se THE NEW BRITISH PRIME MINISTER explains the armed intervention in Indo- nesia as being due to our deep moral obli- gation to the Netherlands. What about the equally. deep moral obligation indeed, even greater moral obligation to the na- tive peoples of Asia? Friends tell me that large British forces long idle in Holland were shipped from Antwerp to Palestine on Dutch transports. Here surely we see the working out of the interlocking imperialist internationale. The Dutch would not have a snowball's chance to get back into Indonesia, nor: the French into Indo-China, except for the violence now being employed by allied forces in- cluding troops of our enemy, Japan Surely it's a strange victory for demo- cracy, and a stranger application of the famous Four Freedoms, when we use even troops to make sure that nobody but Euro- Peans get liberated. No wonder that British soldiers, indig- nant at being shipped to Palestine without even so much as a few days leave at home, are chalking ribald but effective slogans of protest on ships, buildings, and any place else available. ; . se THIS CONTINENT HAS MOSTLY OVER- looked Professor Harold Laski s recent warning to the leaders of the Labor Speaking before the powerful Trade Congress, Laski declared: Either it convinces the ple that democratic socialist principles are valid in practice, or it will give way to men ready for some other experiment which will not be democratic. at was. just another way of saying that if the present Labor government, not- withstanding its huge majority, were to fall down on its job, the British people would lose faith in the Parliamentary. process. There would be a squaring away for a show- down fight between potential dictatorships from the extreme right or extreme left. But that need not be. or IT IS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS that the present British government has its greatest chance to redeem its obviously de- clining prestige. All it has to do is to apply, in fact,.the. democratic and liberationist principles it. has so long and: fervently championed in theory, Let it use its troops in Indonesia and Indo-China only to maintain order till the .whole native population has a chance to yote freely whether it wants its ex-over- lords back from Europe or not. Let that, vote be taken before the ex-overlords come back in possession of all the guns and handcuffs. In the economic field, Britain's problems are more difficult, That is all the more rea- son why rank-and-file British Labor will be adamant on drastic, immediate changes in the international field. As Laski put it: Our leaders have been given the tools. Let us see to it that they finish the job. ty. inion THE RED DEER ADVOCAT Sylvan Lake Has Over 60 Per Cent of Quota October 29, 1949 JK.
