(ALN) — The precast! that the next general ection in Britain will produce , “national government compris- s the” best men from all par- geS,” made by Ralph Asheton, §2w chairman of the Conserva- nieve party in his maiden speech @us week, has stirred heated snunciations from Tabor and iberal party spokesmen. gTANGLE ; § Arthur Greenwood. deputy ader’ of the Parliamentary La- jor party, replied that “‘Labor’s ectoral strength is far bigger gian in 1985, and Conservative @ength is far less.

Progressives Are Renominated

In Toronto Aldermanic Contest

By MEL COLBY, Tribune Staff Writer TORONTO, Ont.—Ex-alderman Stewart Smith, who,

bogey”

in the face of a terriffic red

campaign, polled more than 41,000 votes last year, announced this week that he

will be a candidate for the Toronto Board of Control in the forthcoming civic elections.

Failure “to elect Smith last year to the Board, where he is sorely needed as a champion of tax reform, low-rental housing and reduced hydro rates, re- sulted in the postponement of pressing civic reforms by the inept 1944 Board. For example, absolutely nothing has been done by the city government dur- ing this year to prepare for the postwar and the home-coming of Toronto’s men now overseas.

Another such “red bogey” campaign seems in the making against progressive non-parti- san candidates such as Mr. Smith. There will be, however, this difference: as a result of last year’s campaign, which fin- ally led to one of its instigators, W. <A. Sanderson, the “Bug Man,” being haled into court to face charges of libel, many citi- zens will have recognized the real motives behind the smear- ing tacties and will not de taken in “by them.

‘The outstanding eenaidare for

Board of Control is ex-alderman Stewart Smith. As a City Coun- ceil member for Ward 5 over a of years-he won wide respect and support for his un- wavering battle for civic re- forms and better municipal sov- ernment.

In and out of council he has led the fight for tax reform, low cost housing and city planning for postwar reconstruction. At the present time he is receiving Widespread support from all sections of the city for his fight for lower hydro rates. ,

Ald. Norman Freed, whose work during his first year in city council as a representative of Ward 4 has shown him to be one of the ablest fighters for the city’s interests, has an- nounced that he will seek re- election.

In Ward 5, Ald. Charles Sims, who has led the fight during the year on such issues as housing: and postwar reconstruction, will

ask the electors to renew his mandate in order that he may continue his work on their be- half.

Dewar Ferguson, acting pre- sident of the Canadian Sea- men’s Union, who made a strong

showing in Ward Six last year

will again seek election to the City Council. In the same ward Mrs. Hlizabeth Morton has been nominated as a candidate to the Board of Education. OTHER CANDIDATES |

Other labor candidates will be William .<Simpson in Ward 1 and Carl Prager, Ward 3. Both of these aldermanic candidates have lone records in the labor move- ment and have taken an active interest in civic affairs for many years.

In Ward 3 Mrs. Grace Wales Sugar, prominent in the activi-

ties of youth organizations, will _

contest the Board of Hducatioz

‘seat. Mrs. Sugar was a candidate

for the board last year.

cal wangle to form another na- tional government will not de- ceive electors,” he added.

LIBERAL COMMENT

In a caustic editorial comment on Asheton’s speech, the Daily Herald, Labor party organ, de- elared: “The Conservative high command now regards the very word ‘Conservative’ as a liabil- ity. They will find no adherents outside of their own ranks ex- cept for a few political vyag- rants:’ A statement issued by the liberal party warned that “the continuance of the so-called national government after the war, predominantly Tory in character, would be fraught with erave danger for national and international reconstruction.”
