I Editorial Correspondence
Montreal, Oct. 2(1. Well our .newspaper friend was right, j
Premier Duplessis was anowed Under, and Canada is safe. Isola-1
tlon appears to be about ss popular here as in the U. S. Senate
Our apple-cheeked cabby refusea to Join in the general rejoic

And the cabby closed one blue

Committee rooms of a dozen
at least a score of voters arrested, in Montreal alone, and yet
everyone agrees It was a quiet
election would be?
We are staying at the Windsor hotel which Is at least 50 years
old, but charges modern Park Avenue prices. This is possible
thanks to the present King and Queen. When they visited Canada
last May they chose this hotel as
the "Queen" la older, the Mount
Ritz smarter. There arc huge enlarged photos of the great occasion
all over the place, the royal couple on the balcony, at the state
banquet in the dining room, etc,, etc. That's enough for the aver
age Canadian, In spite of its mid-Victorian and rather dingy
atmosphere the Windsor remains the "class" for him.
e
Across the square from the hotel Is the Sun Life building, a
HUGE affair rising into the air like a granite mountain, built at
the cost of many millions at the height of the post-war boom. The
Montreal Star persuaded the Sun to let them place a bulletin
board and loud-speaker in front of the building, last night, to
broadcast the election returns.

auspices of the "British Council"
A most elaborate costume affair, elegantly staged, and a huge
company of over BO, a great

ford, Maurice Colborne, and In
distinct and separate scenes, the
spondent cold, very cold.
But not the audience, far from It!
His Majesty's is a large theatre, with three tiers of boxes
on either side and the old fashioned gold-and-plush decor. It
was jammed, including the lower boxes, and not with French
Canadians either, but with "Westmount's Best," as thoroughly
British as "from Bond Street to Mayfair," with, we should say,
the average age of those assembled close to three score.
We never heard of Barry Jones before and know nothing
about "Charles the King," but believe the reaction of that typi
cally British audience of considerable significance at this time.
For the play completely upsets the Charles the 1st tradition,
(at least what we have always SUPPOSED to be the tradition)
that he was pretty much a reactionary "weak sister," and outside
of Ireland at least, Cromwell was a staunch patriot and rendered
a great service to liberal England.
That Is not the theme of this play at all, in fact quite the
reverse. Charles, in gorgeous velvets, knee breeches and laces
after the Van Dyke school, is an idealist and humanitarian, sacri
ficing everything for what he regards as the welfare of England,
while Cromwell Is the bigot, tyrant and all-around roughneck,
determined by fair means or foul, preferably the latter to do
his royal Highness in.
In fact in tho final trial scene the crowd the common peo
ple are all for Charles the King, and their woman spokesman,
who cries out against this railroading of His Majesty to the
headsman's axe, Is branded with a hot iron, right there on the
stage so all can see, by the Cromwell gangsters.
As a rather stilted costume play, an elaborate and authentic
historic spectacle, we can understand the interest of the Montreal
audience, but not the deep KEELING.
The sweet-faced, middle-aged woman on our right, frankly
wept throughout the final scene
and everyone rose to sing "God

Of course we may be wrong, that's ALWAYS possible, but

OK SUCH A PLAY AT ALL at this time demonstrate that the
feeling of the English people for their King and Queen, for the
royal symbol and all that It stands for, Is stronger today than
It has been for a great many years, and a vital factor In that
sentiment Is the widespread fear that the days of Its survival
may be numbered.

"PUBS" election day, also banks, but electioneering goes on
without shame. We decided It would be a good time lo take a
sight-seeing bus, and see "Montreal for a dollar."
We climbed Into a rattling old crate, which the driver apolo
gized for, all the modern ones equipped with loud speakers were
being used by the election forces, he explained!
Never have we been given as much for our money In the
direction of sight-seeing, the Island of Montreal being done up
In grand style from top to bottom.
There were only five passengers, a country doctor and his wife
from New Jersey, a sight seeing business man from Los Angeles
(we have yet to be In a group anywhere where L. A. Is not
represented) your correspondent and an actress from New York,
known as Nancy Williams. Not only did we get what we had
paid for but more was thrown In, Including a collision with an
armored car half way up the mountain, a sort of Table Rork
plateau about BOO feet high, at the edge of town, on the slopes of
which tycoons of Montreal reside, largely In granite castles.
It was at a turn, on a fairly sleep grade, and our driver
turning sharply lo avoid a motor car on his left failed to see the
armored car coming up on the right, and the latter speeding
ahead to escape the crash, failed by INCHES, the result being
a sort of sideswipe, which made a lot of noise, but only put the
bus out of commission for about a quarter of an hour while the
broken bumper was lied up with wire and the right wheel
straightened.
The only casualty was the doctor'( wife, who with a bad heart
had to receive first aid from her husband, and was so weakened
by the shock that she didn't get out at any of the remaining stops.
The actress was a brick and acted like a long lost sister and
trained nurse for the remainder of the Journey. (Did you ever
notice most actresses are like that when a crisis comes along")
The driver came next. He was due for a bonus In three
weeks, but this accident washes him up in that direction. "It
makes no difference." he said mournfully, "WHETHER It's my
fault or not", which should have been some consolation, for the
fault WAS his.
Never have we seen so many churches and cathedrals, so many
hospitals and benevolent institutions, and so many graveyards

Every government economist has
a trace of the professional
mourner which sometimes makes
the thinkers' forecasts err on
the gloomy side. Nevertheless,
it Is significant that, in the midst
of the present booming pros
perity, the storm warnings arc
out for a short but fairly sharp
slump in January, February and
March. The federal reserve pro
duction Index, best of business
indicators, is expected to drop
from an estimated 125 In De
cember to around 11a In the
three bad months.
The forecast deserves special
attention for two reasons. In
the first place, the government
economists are remarkably unan
imous. Recently, they have been

census of the federal reserve
board, and the labor, commerce
and agriculture departments re
veals agreement on all essential
points, and even the treasury
experts, who are commonly so
optimistic, are reported to sub
scribe to the others' findings.
In the second place, the opinion
of the government economists
is supported by the opinions of
several of New York's shrewd
est and biggest bankers.
At the same time, the fore
cast is not essentially pessimistic.
Both economists and bankers
confidently anticipate another
booming upward surge follow
ing the temporary business set
back. Furthermore, there are
grounds for belief that the fore
casters may have underestimated
the effect of war or'ders. They
say that the real war boom can
not get going until spring. But
word comes from New York of
substantial and as yet unan

such things as shoes and blan

more cheerfully than their ex
pert advisers.
The economists and bankers
expect a winter slump for one
simple reason: They do not
share Hanes' joyful hope that
war orders and domestic con
sumption will catch up with
large bulges in manufacturers'
and wholesalers' inventories reg
istered in the last couple of
months. The goods will be on
the shelves. Temporarily, de
mand will decrease. And, un
til demand catches up with sup
ply, business will slow down.
The slump Is expected to be
brief for reasons both more
numerous and more complex:
1. A sound recovery was un
der way before the war psy
chology transformed it Into a
boom.
2. While unhealthy price in
creases are still feared, the
economists think that prices
have behaved surprisingly well
so far. If undue Increases ap
pear, the administration is pre
paring to deal with them by
the so-called "Donny brook Fair"
method, which one new dealer
summarized as "hitting them
the minute they raise their little
heads."
3. For the first time in the
present recovery, the capital
goods industries railroads,
utilities, mines and the like
have really begun to improve
and replace their equipment.
4. Even though the present
war orders are not enot.gh to
keep business going, a real war
boom is pretty sure to be under
way by spring. Simultaneously,
certain peaceful branches of the
export trade, such as that to
South America, are prospering
vastly. And a large domestic
armament program will even
tually add its effect to the effect
of the orders from Britain and
France.
The astonishing feature of the
situation is that, for the first
time in recent new deal his
tory, a forecast of a slump has
not yet promoted plans for an
other extra-budgetary spending
program. Of all governmental
groups, the economists are close
est to the new dealers. Spend
ing Is the new dealerss' para
mount doctrine. Yet they are
not preparing to spend. Of
course, the answer to this puz
zle Is to be found in the confi
dence that the slump will be
short, and in the fact that the
domestic armament program will
constitute a sort of spending.

"The purchase of Manhattan

was SATISFACTORY TO BOTH
SIDES. The utility of Manhat

very small, because they had a

them."
THE point is that Manhattan
