...which Canada wanted continued into the years of peace (TIME, Feb. 9). On Capitol Hill, Nebraska's Senator Kenneth Wherry and his Small Business Committee had a staff of clerks digging through the files for a full-dress investigation, some time soon. On Parliament Hill, Saskatchewan's CCFer Thomas John Bentley asked that the Secretary of State for External Affairs tell the House of Commons all there was to tell about Hyde Park...
...divided as to whether Dionne's scheme is the "oeuvre de charité" (charitable act) that the Sisters of the Good Shepherd call it. The General Council of the Catholic Labor Syndicates called it a "great scandal." Other unions have protested. In the House of Commons at Ottawa, CCFer Clarence Gillis labeled it "a fire sale of human misery." But among the 12,000 D.P.s in Camp Wildflecken, near Fulda, Germany, the idea sounds fine. Last week Ludger Dionne, with the help of doctors and the Canadian consul, was busy hand-picking his 100 new mill employees from hundreds...

He demanded that all U.S. troops in Manitoba (there are 113 at the Canadian base at Fort Churchill) be forced to leave...

CCFer Gladys Strum proposed a flag picturing "a buffalo, a beaver, a maple leaf and a mountain. Yes, and we had better have a river...
Like millions of his fellow Canadians. William Lyon Mackenzie King spent the first days of last week waiting to learn whether he would win or lose in his own constituency of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. When the soldier votes were finally counted,* the Prime Minister had been beaten by socialist CCFer E. L. Bowerman. What made the dose doubly hard for King to take: his defeat was by a piddling 129 votes (out of 19,341 votes cast); Bowerman was running for public office for the first time...
