a i ee ig am ea mR rag my ty tg ng ing tg pc ny STARR MAY IN HIS COMMONS office tary when he was labor Ottawa. She is the widow of By FARMER TISSINGTON Ottawa Bureau of The Oshawa Times OTTAWA -- Ontario riding MP Michael Starr '"'might" be a contender for the. leadership of the Conservative party if the present leader resigns. In an interview with the Ottawa bureau of The Times, Mr. Starr said that while he had no 'planned ambitions, he would give serious considera- tion to going before a national party convention as a leader- ship candidate. He said that suggestions that he consider the leadership had come from a number of indi- viduals in the past but that there was no organized group of supporters behind him at this stage. 'My basic philosophy is to be loyal to my party leader and I do not believe I should try to take on the role of an usurper and try to displace Mr. Diefenbaker," Mr. Starr said. "He was chosen at a national position, as a member of the party caucus I believe I owe him my allegiance." IN CAUCUS The Oshawa MP said that this did not mean he could not disagree with Mr. Diefenbaker on matters of policy or strategy. "T have opportunity in caucus to express any disagreements with the course he is following or I can express such feelings to him personally. As chairman of our party caucus, I discuss policy questions with Mr. Dief- enbaker fairly regularly. His door has always been open to me," Mr. Starr declared. He declined to single out any one person as the most likely successor to Mr. Diefenbaker but he agreed that the names of three Conservative provincial nremiers, John Robarts, Robert Stanfield and Duff Roblin, along with former justice minister Davie Fulton had all been men- tioned prominently. leagues," Mr. Starr, the Con- servator labor minister from 1957 to 1963, said. In a frank statement of his party's position, Mr. Starr ad- mitted that his own riding ex- ecutive has had serious doubts about the party leadership prior to the last two federal elections. "T have reached an under- standing with my executive and they are free and I am free to express our opinions without any reservations on this issue. They fully recognize the prin- ciples of party loyalty that I believe in and at the same time they know they are free to voice their criticisms of what is , being done. But when it comes to election time, we stand shoul- der to shoulder," Mr. Starr said. He said that Oshawa was in the political sphere of influen¢e of Toronto where most of the opinion in favor of a change in leadership rested. Most of his own executive believe that it would be to the advantage of the 1963 election this belief manifested itself in strong Lib- eral and New Democratic show- ings in the golden horseshoe of Ontario, running from Niagara Falls to almost Kingston. He was the only Conservative can- didate re-elected in this entire "horseshoe" in 1963. D. R. Alkenbrack, in Prince Edward- Lennox, was re-elected at the extreme eastern end, while the closest Conservative to Mr, Starr, outside the "horseshoe" is Alfred Hales, MP far Wel- lington South, Mr. Starr commented that he had very little reaction to the fact that since the present session resumed after the Christmas recess he has be- come the Commons' seat-mate of Mr. Diefenbaker. "T don't think anyone -- at- taches much significance to this and I don't think it would have any real effect on my chances of re-election," Mr. Starr said. Besides being chairman of don "Churchill, But he has no. . ambitions to become leader if Mr. Churchill 'we relinquish this post, "I wouldn't be interested in» this post and, in fact, 1 would. © decline to accept it.
