A 1 6 Thimday, April 3, 1958 MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. SIXTH AND GRAPE STREETS (KUdDCCIETriEIin 41 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS BIG FREE PARKING LOTS IN BACK OF OUR STORE P.M. : What happens in Canada Is always interesting to us on this side of the border, be cause we feel we have more in common with the Cana dians than with any other people. The results of Monday's Canadian election are more than usually interesting to us because they may provide a preview of what will happen to us thi3 coming November. THE NEWLY KEM0EHELEB GR0CETTEMA WOLD. Ml M ! : -i ; IN Canada, as down here, they have a recession. In Canada, as on this jfde, the recession was the BIG political issue. The campaign revolved around WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE SLUMP the Liberals, who had been in power for 22 years up to last June, or the Conservatives who came into power ' then and have been running things since. Both parties put forth pro erams to fix things up. The Liberals proposed tax cuts of as much as 400 million dol lars aimed at stimulating con sumer spending. The Conservatives, who came to a rather shaky seat of power last June and were seekine to firm up their con trol, called for a mammoth tmblic works program as the thine needed to turn the trick. mHE voters settled it. They -- went lor tne conservative s program of big public works. They went for it in a big way. Before Monday's election, the Conservatives had only 113 of the 265 seats in the Canadian house of commons 20 less than a majority. They came out of the Donney brook with 205 seats. The once powerful Liberals came out of it with only 47 seats. ON this side of the border, as you will probably note, the program of the Eisenhow er administration runs more or less in the same direction ai the program of the Can adian Liberal party. The Dem ocrats down here are more closely in line with the pro gram of the Canadian Con servatives that is, govern ment spending in a large way. " " "" ' " The result of the Canadian election will probably c o n firm the Democrats in their belief that big government spending is the political an swer It will probably shake the confidence in the Eisen hower administration's wait-and-see policy. Votes, after all, are what it takes to win elections. A WORD of explanation as to party names is prob ably in order here. In these modern days, party names mean little or nothing. The modern Canadian Conserva tive party is far less conser vative than the Canadian Lib eral party. The Canadian Liberal party is far less "liberal" in the sense of being liberal with the taxpayers' money than the Conservatives. On the face of it, the Can adian election looks like a turn toward the left in the sense that "leftists" tend gen erally toward heavy depend ence on Big Government. THAT isn't true. In Monday's election in Canada, there were four par ties the Liberals and the Conservatives on one side of the fence and the Social Cred it party and the Socialist Co operative Commonwealth fed eration on the other. The Lib erals and the Conservatives are middle-of-the-rcaders. The other two parties were well over on the leftist side. The Socialist-leaning par ties took a terrible licking. One of them disappeared en tirely, losing all its former seats. The other dropped from 26 seats to eight.
