POLITICS & WAR
PROTEST BY CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER. ELECTION MAY BE NECESSARY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) OTTAWA, September 27. The Canadian Prime Minister, Mr Mackenzie King, addressing the National Liberal Federation, expressed the hope that there would be no necessity for a general election before the end of the war. He added that the elections would be held if the war was still raging in 1945, when the statutory life of the present Parliament ended, or earlier if the groups of Parliamentarians distorted the Government’s policies, thus making it impossible for the Government to carry on, or “if happenings at present beyond our ken outside Canada make an election necessary.” He also said that the Parliamentary Opposition groups who were consistently playing politics created an intolerable situation which could not be permitted to continue.
