SMASHING VICTORY AT POLLS FOR MR. MACKENZIE KING
Ottawa, To-day. GERMAN
THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT of Canada has ob-
tained a smashing victory at the polls, a victory EXECUTIONS even greater than its most ardent supporters had IN POLAND
hoped for.
The latest figures are:-
Liberal: 174 seats (out of the total of 245) Conservative (or "National Government,
the party has been calling itself: 38; Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation: 8; New Democracy and Social Credit: 7; and
Others: 9.
and
One result has been deferred eight others are still doubtful. The results do not include the votes of the Canadian troops, which will be available next week,
The votes may alter some results but will not be enough to affect the main issue.
Every Communist candidate was defeated; the Social Credit party, only polled 1 out of the original 15 seats. All the leading lights of the Con- servative Party were defeated and so were all the women candidates!
