ELECTION TALK 'Diefenbaker Misleading On Pact' MONTREAL (CP) --_ Indus- try Minister Charles M. Drury said Wednesday that opposition critics of the States automotive "appear to be trying to misieaa the public." Addressing a luncheon of the Canadian Institute of Steel Con- struction, he said the agree- Canada-United| agreement} car prices in Canada. "Either the critics are com- pletely uncomprehending of the' basic importance of this agree- ment to Canadians or they are Gelperalely sewing our to mis lead the public," Mr, Drury said. : The automotive agreement, approved earlier this year by li t, abolished the pro- ment has r d in exy of Canada's automotive indus- try, an increase in automotive} employment and a lowering of ar tective tariff on automobile parts entering Canada from the United States. Judy Extols Pension Plan HAMILTON (CP) -- Finance Minister Walter Gordon said here Wednesday night the basic issue in the Nov. 8 federal elec- tion is whether Canadians want prosperity to continue or a re- turn to the "awful years" under the previous. Progressive Con- servative administration. Mr. Gordon was addressing 350 guests at a $25-a-plate fund- raising dinner for John Munro, Hamilion East Liberal nominee, to aid in the election of four Hamilton, Liberal candidates. He said Prime Minister Pear- son's rebuilding of the Liberal party after the 1958 election will be recorded as "the most mas- terly political performance since Confederation." "Anyone who tells you that Mr. Pearson has not taught himself to be an extraordinary skillful politician is . talking through his hat," he said, 'Prosperity Or Tories?' - Gordon SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. (CP) Health Minister Judy LaMarsh said here Wednesday the Can- ada Pension Plan 'is the largest non-means-test pension in the world." Miss LaMarsh said: "We are not the richest country, but we pay more to the aged than any other country in the world." She denied a statement at- tributed to her in a published report from Preston, Ont., Oct. 18 that 'a pensioner in Prince Edward Island doesn't need in jactual dollars anything like a pensioner living in Toronto," Speaking during a_ ladies night, Miss LaMarsh said the report "is completely erroneous . . . it's preposterous." Scandal-Monger, Cries Favreau reau, president of the Privy Council, Wednesday called Con- servative Leader John Diefen- baker a "scandal monger' and a "true separatist, trying to separate Quebec from the rest of Canada through his cam- paign of vilification and un- founded accusation." Addressing a Montreal Lib- eral rally, Mr. charged Mr. Diefenbaker with "dragging the campaign in the mud" and with aiming "indis- criminate invective' at Que- bec. Dorion's Son Tory Candidate QUEBEC (CP)--Guy Dorion, son of Chief Justice Frederic Dorion of Quebec Superior Court, was nominated Wednes- day night to carry the Progres- sive Conservative banner in Quebec South. Mr. Dorion told the nominat- ing convention the Conserva- tives would set up a committee to study changes in the consti- tution which would make it capable of dealing with current Canadian problems. Touching on the scandals which his father investigated port into bribery and influence- tawa, he denounced the provin- cial Liberal government of Que- bec Premier Jean Lesage "'for aiding the federal Liberal cause," He concluded: 'It is the friends of the Pearson admin- istration who will fill the pris- ons of Mr. Wagner (Quebec jus- tice minister)."

Government statements on Viet Nam, he said here Wednes- day,~ represent jon amounting to deception." He challenged Prime Minister Pearson to make public a letter written last summer by Presi- dent Johnson to the government which sought Canadian assist- ance in Viet Nam, Mr. Diefenbaker said Mr. Pearson had stated at the time that Mr, Johnson wanted Can- ada to send troops to Viet Nam. Martin had said the U.S. presi- dent hadn't asked for troops. The Conservative leader said Finance Minister Gordon, Lib- eral campaign chairman, now has stated that the letter asked for troops while Defence Minis- ter Hellyer said he hadn't seen the letter. "What heights of ridiculour nonsense does this reveal?" Mr. Diefenbaker said. | The government had no right ito keep Canadians in the dark land Mr. Johnson's letter must |be made public. LBJ SAID NO (Mr. Pearson issued a state- ment Aug, 14 saying that Mr. Johnson considered publication of the exchange of letters "to = undesirable because these letters formed part of a series jof exchanges between the pres- jernment.") | Later, at an evening rally at \Shawville, Que., across the Ot- jtawa River from jenbaker quoted Mr. Hellyer as |saying the Liberals need a ma- \jority for some unpopular mea- isures they want to introduce in |Parliament. and published in the Dorion re-| What were these unpopular| |measures? peddling in high places in Ot-| 'Is one connected with Viet|Strain as the patient |\Nam2" Mr. Diefenbaker asked. The Opposition chieftain made ithree speeches Wednesday. He laddressed about 250 persons at Cobden, Ont., in the morning, another 250 here in the after- noon when he was introduced as "the comeback prime minis- ter," and a standing-room-only crowd of about 900 at Shawville in the evening. Total speaking time was some 2% hours. Mr. Diefenbaker now has tra- velled more than 7,000 miles and made nearly 30 major speeches in the Nov. 8 election campaign. He tours Ottawa rid- \Brockville.

He was referring to the prime minister's promise to increase the $75-a-month pensions to $100 cr more for pensioners who needed the increase. He: said Mr, Pearson ex- pressed shock at the Conserva- tive proposal to increase old- lage pensions to $100 a month |by using money out of the Can- jada Pension Fund, | But Health Minister Judy La- |Marsh had said $2,100,000 worth of "electioneering" advertise- ments on the pension plan would be paid out of the fund.

(CP) -- Prime Minister Pearson cli- maxed a western campaign swing Wednesday night with a rally that emphasized unity with an old sparring mate, Sas- katchewan Premier Ross That- cher, Both Liberal leaders told a near-capacity crowd of 2,800 in the Humboldt arena that they have had their differences in the past but stand and work to- gether all the same. Said Mr. Thatcher: 'When the chips are down, a Liberal prime minister can always count on Saskatchewan." It was no secret that Saskat- chewan and the federal govern- ment have had their differences Tories Solid Feels Pierre MONTREAL (CP) -- Pierre Sevigny, a former Conservative cabinet minister who resigned in 1963 in a dispute over Can- ada's acquisition of nuclear arms, said Wednesday night the Progressive Conservative party now "stands united from one ocean to the other." Mr. Sevigny, author of This Game of Politics, told a party rally he felt, honored to have been a member of the Diefen- baker cabinet. | |. "I had occasional disputes with my fellow cabinet minis- ters and with my leader," he said, "but this is normal in any} \democratic government.

One necessary change was to make French an official language across Canada. Speaking in French at a rally in support of Jean Methot, Con- servative candidate in Trois- Rivieres, Mr. Roblin said polit- {eal independence for Quebec would destroy the cultural inde- pendence the province has en- joyed for 300 years. Canada would be broken up and thus weakened economic- ally, paving the way for absorp- tion. into North American con- tinentalism. Quebec lacked the economic | strength to resist the pressures by itself, and there was no place in the "melting pot ide- ology" for the French language and culture. He said the Fulton-Favreau formula for bringing consttu- tion-amending power to Ottawa from London should be rejected in favor of a conference of polit- ieal leaders. Mr. Roblin, the first outside provincial premier to campaign federally in Quebec, was ad- dressing some 250 persons who| | FIREPLACE ion policy and they may differ again, "But details are one thing and principles are an- other," he said, bats Feaipum termed Dir, Thatcher a vigorous fighter for Saskatchewan rights.

One area of disagreement has been Saskatchewan demands for tax concessions for solution po- tash mines similar to conces- sions for shaft potash mines, CHANGES MAY RESULT Mr. Pearson said the report of the federal royal commis- sion on taxation is expected soon and may result in whole- sale changes in the tax struc- ture, Without saying precisely that the solution potash tax conces- sion will be granted, Mr, Pear- son said that when _ changes come about no discrimination will be permitted in potash. Both shaft and solution type mines will be treated on the same basis. The rally in this community 70 miles east of Saskatoon ended a two-day swing for Mr Pearson through Alberta and Saskatchewan in a bid to break the Conservative hold in the Nov. 8 election. Conservatives held 14 of the 17 Alberta seats in the last Parliament and all 17 of the Saskatchewan seats, SATURDAY SUNDAY OCTOBER 23rd and 24th Classes for ALL KARTS TROPHIES AND CASH AWARDS KARTWAYS Highway No. 12 North of Whitby for information coll 699-8767 Toronto Pearson Patches Up Past With 'Spar-Mate' Thatcher During the tour Mr. Pearson made direct appeals to his au- diences for more Prairie repre- camtating aterrreste tere) ta Wheat He 8aiG Wil DE a Liberal majority government after the election. The prime minister generally steered away from opposition charges, but said the suggestion the Liberal government plans to send Canadian soldiers to Viet Nam "is one of the falsest ac- cusations made in this cam- paign and there have been some pretty false ones."
