There may be reasons against.a coaiitio;l between the older parties, but the fegg that this might make the C.C.F. the official Opposition is most certainly not one of those reasons. It was because Liberals and Conservatives were fighting each other that the Socialists won 24 seats in the recent Provincial election in Ontario. If Liberals and Conservatives had formed a coalition, and the party vote had remained as it was in the election, the fact is that practically no C.C.F. members would have been elected at all. In Manitoba and British Columbia the C.C.F. are the official Opposition. In Saskatchewan they have formed a Government. As a matter of fact, failure of Liberals and Conservatives to form a coalition is not going to stop Socialists from becoming the official Opposition. It is not likely to happen. Socialism does not appeal to the great majority of Canadians. They prefer liberty. If the time comes, howâ€" ever, when Socialism does win majority support in Canada, then the Socialists will win an election, whether they have been the official Opposition or not. . > Why not? If the Canadian people want this to be a Socialist country, they will arrange that regardless of whether there are two parties or one party opposed to Socialism. THBR BELL TBLEPMONR Many people are suggesting that, since the only important domestic issue in Canadian politics is Socialism against no Socidlism, Liberals and Progressive Conservatives should form a coalition. _ _~ » The chief objection which is offered is that if the Liberals and Profressive Conservatives get together, the C.C.F. will become the official Opposition and that would mean, in another election, the C.C.F. might become the Government. The late C. H. Cahan, a Cabinet Minister in the Belnnett Governâ€" ment, once rose in the House of Commons to protest against a ruling which seemed likely to deny the Socialists a fair opportunity to state their opinions, He pointed out that some day Socialists might be in the majority in the House of Commons, and th'at others might then regret any unfairness in debate. True, it ahead of m favours a sy compulsory? That is the trouble of all Socialist discussion. It promises all sorts of improvements in our society, which could only be obtained by making people do what they are told, but then the Socialist weakens, and argues that he would not interfere with people‘s liberty. There is still no reason why these two \arties should not form a coalition, if they feel that they have no rea: to remain separate. That may or may not be a good idea. Probably, most Canadians who do not believe i&iocialism would prefer to see either the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives taking a firm stand against Socialism, and campaigning on that issue. t a Then, how does Mr. Coldwell know what people need? He will say that they need a certain standard of living, but is he prepared to define that standard of living for them, to say, for example, that, in order that one man may have some more milk for his children, another man is to be forbidden to buy a motor car? This is the sort of double talk which passes for an explunation of Socialism in Canada. Of course, it means exactly nothing, except that there should be a totalitarian state, in which the Government tells everyone what to produce and consume. Since Mr. Coldwell will be the first to announce that he does not believe in that sort of state, why does he use language of this sort? Think it over realistically. There has to be some method by which A will be persuaded to build a factory, or any other sort of enterprise; by which B will be persuaded to work for A in the building and equipping of the factory; by which C will be persuaded to work in the factory; by which D will be persuaded to undertake to distribute the goods which the factory produces, and, above all, by which E will be persuaded to buy those goods. It is very simple in the totalitarian state. The Government sends these people to do their jobs, including the job which E has to do of consuming those goods which the Government believes that he should have In a free society, someone has to persuade these people to do these things, and how could that be done if there were no such thing as profit? If profit means anything it means the reward which people get for doing certain acts. It does not matter whether the act is using a shovel or sitting in an office and selling bonds. It does not matter whether the act is working today, or is spending the savings which were obtained out of working yesterday, and not spending all one‘s income. Mr. Coldwell reecntly announced that he did not object to profits from one point of view but that he did object "to profit when it becomes the motive of production and replaces human need as the motive of producing the goods that humanity requires." lish newspaper, devoted to the interests of the City of mm 'lh*loocm::y‘:nm‘ufgzch mmmmmh.muh-m of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association and of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Newspaper Association.
