CONSERVATIVES
WIN SWEEPING VICTORY
Toronto, Nov, 23.
The I'rogressive Conservative Party today rolled up the most sweeping election victory in Ontario's recent history.
A tidal wave of votes of near- record proportions returned the administration of Premier Leslie Front, all but wiped out the Socialist CCF as an opposi- tion party in the legislature and elevated a reduced Liberal representation to the status of official opposition.
With one seal come, this was standing of the 90-seat

COMMENT OF THE DAY
"Tolerated" Squatter Areas
MERGING from the disastrous fire
are re-
a aquatters' village in Kowloon City is the revelation that the Authorities are not in a position to exert effective con- trol over these camps which garded as "tolerated areas." Our Fire Brigade chief is reasonably certain that Wednesday's blaze emanated from an explosion in one of the numerous small factories set up within the squat- ters' village; yet it is clearly laid down that the existence of factories in such an area is illegal; so. too, is the storing of dangerous goods. Thus the lives and property of thousands of people can be placed in jeopardy by the undetected presence of premises either storing inflammable goods or are being used illegally for manufacturing products without proper safeguards against fire risks. "Not enough personnel is avail- able for carrying out check-ups" is the ples when attention is called to the existence of these illegal establish- ments in squatters' areas. This, how- ever, cannot wholly exonerate the Authorities from responsibility in the matter. Experience has shown that where squatters are allowed to establish camps opportunity will quickly be taken to introduce into the area unlicensed and illegal enterprises. This is not the first squatters' village, razed by fire, in which "cottage" factories, harbouring all sorts of combustible and inflammable materials, have operated. It would have been quite fair, therefore, to assume that similar enterprises existed nt, the Tung Tau village, and to have taken some sort of,nction long ago. Unofficial squatters' settlements, used exclusively for residential purposes can be tolerated, but this toleration cannot be extended to the establishment of dangerous factories within those set- tlements. As we understand it, Gov- ernment's view of the problem is that' while the presence of small-time Zorteclas within a residential squatters'
area is intolerable, it is not desirable to deny anyone the right of enterprise or a livelihood, and that merely to prevent a person from running a small factory serves no useful purpose. We would not cavil about this as a general principle. On the contrary it has the merits of being generous and far- sighted. But it is a dangerous policy to pursue unless it is accompanied by a wholesale resettlement scheme where- by squatter factories can be located in their own areas, leaving squatter living huts free of contamination. The Tung Tau village is to be officially resettled- wise step. Nothing could be more de- plorable than to allow those dispossessed squatters to rebuild in their usual haphazard manner and to run once again the same appalling risks of fire. death and destruction. But there remain other "tolerated" squatter areas which, It can be fairly presumed, are cursed with the presence of huts storing dangerous goods and of one. room factories dealing daily with highly combustible materials. If resettlement is the most effective way of reducing fire and explosion risks to the minimum, Government has to contrive to apply its scheme to all existing "tolerated" squatter villages. Recognisably this in not an easy problem to resolve. Suit- able accommodation for squatter campa is at a premium, and it is appreciated that full-scale resettlement cannot be accomplished overnight. Nevertheless, it is noted with satisfaction that Government intends to carry out a com prehensive resettlement of squatters. In the meantime it should be possible to make some sort of a check-up as to what extent unpermitted factories and storehouses exist in "tolerated", squat ter areas and where. classifiable as dangerous to the welfare and safety of the inhabitants, to have them removed.
