LAURENT one of the builders of the North | Prime Minister and Liberal Leader By THE CANADIAN PRESS Prime Minister St. Laurent, 71, fs an accomplished Quebec lawyer who stepped into the political arena at an age when most men are making plans for retirement. He entered federal politics at the age of 59. He won a smashing victory at the polls in his first major elec- tion battle as prime minister and Liberal party leader in 1949. At that time he sought a personal mandate from the peoplf of Can- ada as successor to the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King. This time he is seeking a vote of confidence in his government's policies and administration. SCHOLARLY FIGURE This is the first time an August election date has been called since Confederation and Mr. St. Laurent, a serene, scholarly-appearing man, confesses he chose the date re- luctantly. He would rather have had a June election--but the Coronation inter- vened. The only alternative was #8 November election--a time of year which he said would be neither appealing to the campaign- ers nor the voters. "I would rather be at my sum- mer home at St. Patrick, Que., in July and August," he told a press conference recently, "but it cannot be helped." Mr. St. Laurent's political career stemmed from a wartime call from law practice and take the post made vacant by the death of Just- ice Minister Lapointe. That was in 1941. It was to be a wartime job only, but Mr. St. Laur: ent remained on at the request of his leader, winning a strong follow- ing in the Commons. He was amed external affairs minister in KEEN DEBATER His able performance in meet- ings abroad enhanced his reputa- tion at home. His penetrating ap- proach to crucial world issues and his keenness in parliamentary de- | bate convinced Mr. King that here was an able successor. Mr. St. Laurent told a press con- ference in 1942 that he knew *'noth- ing about politics." But he learned quickly. He frequently showed sur- prising fire and ability in clashes with George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, in the last Parliament. At home he set his eye on de- veloping the nationhood of the country and bringing the English and French - speaking elements €loser together. Abroad he became | Atlantic pact and one of its | strongest supporters. An accomplished bilingualist, Mr. St. Laurent is the son of a French- | speaking Canadian father and an | Irish-Canadian mother, whose par- ents came from Galway, Ireland. From his childhood he spoke both languages. Mr. St. Laurent was swept into power on the heels of a long tenure in power by the Liberal party, at a time when the threat of world communism was spilling over into Korean bloodshed. It was in power, too, when Canada's economy underwent spectacular expansion. "The prospects of peace are brighter than they have been," he says. "Given an era of peace, my The Tory HON. GEORGE A. DREW Progressive Conservative Leader Hon. George Drew, 59-year-old leader of the Progressive Conser- vatives, is heading the party for the second time in a federal elec- tion. i A former premier of Ontario, he was picked to lead the 'party at a national convention in Ottawa in October, 1948. Since then as leader of the official opposition in the Commons he has spearheaded a series of attacks on the Liberal government. This spring he was appointed to the Privy Council--largely an hon- orary post--shortly before his de- parture for England as a member of the Canadian delegation to the Coronation. Mr. Drew, a native of Guelph Ont., entered the Commons in a by-election in Ontario's Carleton constituency two months after he assumed party leadership. He re- tained the seat in the 1949 general election and is running in Carle- ton again this year. PROVINCIAL LEADER Political battles are not new to the one-time Toronto lawyer, who led the Progressive Conservatives in Ontario to victory in three pro- vincial elections. In the last Commons session he led a running attack against the Liberal government, charging it with waste and extravagance in the defence effort.
