Parliament prorogued last week and in those closing hours of the session which had lasted since December there was a very marked feeling that not only had we come to the end Qf 'a parliamentary session but that in a sense we had come to the end of an :era.‘ This feeling of course was inspired by the impending retirement of Prime Minis- ter W. L. Mackenzie King. Mr. King devoted his life to public service, having been first made a ca‘finet minister 'in the Laurier government early in the present century. In his day and under his leadership Cdnad’a has made mighty strides and has ach- ieved the status of nationhood. History will accord him a place among the great leaders of the world. It naturallyis disturbing to contemplate the retirement of such a figure from the political scene, but Mr. King al- ways has been one to surround himself with able colleagues and leave to them plenty of responsibility. Fortunately surrounding him in the party are many men able and qualified to accept the party leadership and responsibilities of leading thengovernment. This leader will be chosen early next month at "a national convention in Ottawa and we are sure whoever is the choice of the convention, he will have for a long time the willing guidance and assis- tance of the retiring, leader who for So many years has served with distinction the people of Canada. Our Prime Minister has the. record of having served as the elected heaj'def a democratic government longer than anyone in history. Last April he exceeded the record of There is nation-wide, yes worldâ€"wide regret that Mr. King is retiring as in” this troubled world his great knowâ€" ledge and experience are of inestimable worth in piloting the ship of state and in meeting world problems. However none will deny that Mr. King now in his seventy-fourth year is right in accepting his physicians advice to relin- quish the heavy burden of state leadership. British Prime {Minister Sir Robert Walpole who until that time held the record for long service. The nationalization of the British coal mines was one of the first items’ in the LabOr Government program to so- cialize industry and make everybody happy and prosperâ€" ous. With the mines removed from private enterprise the miners would be more contented and there would be more and cheaper coal. But it has not so panned out. Commenting on the result of the experiment, the Manâ€" chester Guardian says: “The Labor leaders will be strong- ly tempted to blind themselves to the truth about coal. In their own intereststhey must resist. the temptation. The truth is unpleasant . . . To pretend that little or nothing is wrong will merely make people pay more attention to the most irresponsible ofl the Tory criticisms. The truth ir‘. that Sir Charles Reid is right; the nationalized coal in- dustry has done badly so far, and there is no prospect that with the preSent organization, it will do better in the fu- ture.” Insisting that it is essential “quickly to get more coal more cheaply,” the Guardian says: “At present we are getting -â€" from a larger labor force and after much investâ€" ment in new machinery â€"â€" 7 per cent more coal than we were doing a year ago; the total cost is! 24 per cent higher. The real efficiency of the coal mine’s part in our national effort has fallen. In spite of all the special attention they have had â€" better machinery, improvements in working conditions, every help in recruiting labor â€" the mines have done less well than many, if not most private indus- tries.” . v' ' While supporting the idea of nationalization of the mines, the Guardian contends that it can only succeed “if the Labor Party will really learn that nationalization is not a magic word. Premier McNairof New Brunsvvick has the proud disâ€" tinction of heading the only provincial government which improved its position on an appeal to the electors in 1948. Both the Ontario Conservative Government and the Sas- katchewan socialist government suffered losses which did serious damage to the prestige ofitheir leaders and their parties. ' -‘ With 5 members elected by ‘acclamation where they could technically claim 100% Of the vote, the Liberals in NB. received 57%“ of the 'votes cast, an increase of 7% over 1944. The Conservativelparty received 31 per cent, a loss of over 9 per cent since 1944- The SCI. failed to elect a single member and many of the party candidates forfeited deposits.
