We don’t wish to comment on the results; that is a matter for Americans to decide on for them- selves, even though we, cannot. hep. to be affected by those results, What did ‘strike us though, was the manner. in which ‘things were done. We had. an election ‘of our own. last summer, of greater relative‘ importance’ than the “off-year”’ contest which has just: con- cluded in the U.S. But at no time was there half the heat generated, or. half the enthusiasm aroused to compare with the American ‘election: Why this should ‘be so is hard'to understand: Talk to ‘atiyone in Canada _ with” firm political opini and complex brought about: by the close: con- a large power, and that this inhibits them ‘from expressing them- hection with selves.

It isn't a matter of advertising or public ‘relations. In’ our last federal -elec- tion, both. major parties had their. cam: paigns handled by 1 but. any enthusiasm which they aroused was strictly ersatz. It has often been said that Canadians suffer from an inferiority along. To have .a firm government, that government must have.a firm, mandate. To: have a firm mandate. requires voters with firm’ convictions. We'd’ suggést that they get up off their beds of asphodel and get interested in what is: going on in the world around them.
