4 The Canadian Statesmýnan, rowçýmanvil1e, Peb., 16, '1172 EDITORIAL COMMENT Shuffle at Queen 's Park Shall we join the ladies? William DaVis and'his fellow members ponder- ed the Question and decided to linger a littie longer over the port and cigars. A pity to break up the old club so early. Theyv could jofin the ladies . _ later. PHeaveýn help them w hen they do. The ladies aregointol ù be angry, says The Smiths Falls Record-News. William Dav îis prom-ised themn a place in bis cabîncft when he -was out campaigning in Smniths Falls. H4e didn't say "later" then. At wasý an unquaiified promise he has not kepi.ý Campaigning, he also boasted ab-out thie quality of Conserva- tive womnen canididates. Now he says that, the twvo who sit together in the riidctle of the government back bencb iieed rmore Cexperien ce. Thatý,too, is unconvincirtg, His wo- mrc einbers have good credentials - Margaret Scrivener in the field of urban plannring!, iVargret Birch in healtb. Both su(,rpass the unspectacular norms ofaiit and achievement expected of cabiniet ebes Mr. Davis was not mnerely- ungallant to break a promise to the ladies: he was foolhardy. Insid_îe the stil)-male club, there's a good deail ofshfln around the arm- chatirs,. At.thitage, inideed, movement îs more apprentthanpurpose. But iA îs clear \who's w i e prmier at the centre of the hat.There is the mas- terful Darcy MKognow adding mniiicipa;ýl affairs, to his already exten- siv spermiisty.And there is that c3apable autcratCnharlesMacNaughtoni, freedC fro is both-ersome portfolio in News f rom1 People are getti ng used to what passes for econon'ic management under the Trudeau administration because the, latest unemployment figures which re- vealed that 665,000, or 7.7 per cent, of t.he coury's-,8,5 million, labor force were unempl ïoyed did not cause mi4ch mnore disenchantment than there had' already tbeen. Not even flic fact that the number ,cf unemployed was actually increasing up from 530,000 in December - sur- prised people any mnorýe. After that, MIanpower -Minister Bryce Mackasey's bhland announcement that what happened was "pretty 'well" what had be expected was hardly strong enough stýuff to raise more than a few eebrowsý. The prediction by the minîster of Manpowerand Immigration that in'the next few- months even more people will b-e out of work rated front page expos- ure but only moderate headlines. News that the cost of living had transportation to ensure the smooth running of the complex new govern- Lment machinery at Queen's Park as chairman of 'the management board of cabinet. These are the Big Three. One step down are three other superminis- ters --- Bert, Lawrence, setting policy for resou()L iresýý development, Robert Wel]ch, responsible for social develop- mentf, anid Allaýn F. Lawren ce, for justice. At commoqor-ne gcrdencabinet level. the most. promijsig appointment brings Richard T. Potter, the reforin-minded doctor fromBeeile to the health ministry. Hei the rmanr who quit a com- mittee carasi rather than take dictati from former premier John Robarts; he-'s the man who pushed to bring nursinýg 1omes under the mcdi- care umibrella. The promotion of Rene Brunette to sociaol and family services could prove a n imaâginative touch. Though, he has inot so f ar been a strong minister, Mr. Brunelle, a man from the deprived Northi, understands the needs of the poor in Ontario. Efficient John White could be a winner at trade and developmient. 1On the niegative side, we don't anti- cipate inspired leadership from Thomas, Wells in education, John Yaremko as soticitor-generat, or James Auld as min- ister of thie environment. In contrast to the grand s ,weepj of the recent govern- ,ment restJructuring, tfhi looks a rather pedestrian hufle The whole 'club migbt hvperked up a bit ,~ if only they'd joinled the ladies., Parlia-ment Hili1 gone up again -antat wewr saved from more drastie .inrea1ses only by th.e tradihtinl anar sle -ws given more respectful treatmrent, if for nothin-ýg else perhaps because thiifla- tion is what the ecfonomic slow,ýdown and resulting unemploymrenitwa sup- posed to stop. Now we have both unempl[oymef-nt and inflation. It's too late to speculate on whether we would have beeni better off :with more jobs, even if it cos-t us a little inflation, but mostof the unem- ployed are inclined to agree that we would. With continuing 'deterioraýtioýn of the situation, we have reached the point where there is no longer much point in even demanding that the gov- ernment do something.

As far as anynne knows, even the Prime Minister shares the uncertainty about whirh date would be best or hlm to rail an election. In recent woeks, the indica- tions of a likely election date emanating from high government circles have changed 'considerabiy. First the "word" was that the electioni wouid be in Jùnc, likely late June, ai- most four years exartly from Piýrme Miister Pierre Trudeau's snasbing clectin victory lu f1968. The adi- vaaRges ilo J-uneint4 the fat hat by thVen, the difficuit times during wn ter are a vagiue memory to most Canadians. By June, the winter doldrums have ondod; the, economy is usu- aily movîng. well, and people iegnd, to be more op- timistic than at some other, times of the year. After everybody in Otta- wa, or lmost everiybody,' had boon talking about a June elertion for awbile, the "word", got around that the lortion 'would hoý in the Fail, in lato Septemnber or in October. The reasons for a Fait eloction' were again economir. The long range indicators supposedly sbowod that the cconomy would be funrtioning even better iiithe Fail than in the Spring., And the Can- adian oconomny wouid be benefitting from the spili- over effert as Pr-esîdent Richard Nj-xon stimnulated the US, conomin titime for -presidential voting soutb 0f tho odr al in No vember, The O(-ctobei rlvo- rates also pointed ouit thaýt another long livecdmns tration, the Onitarlo- Con . servative Gvp-n own a big ro-election iOctolbor last year., But in general, inumn- bent goveruments in Cana- da lîke to avoid Eall cicr- tions. In the Fall in Cana- da, people are preparing for a blard winter. Their gen- eral mood tends to be one of unbappiness, of unease, of dissatisfaction. Inu'On- tarin, this mood apparently made thcmn cautious, and tbey opted to stick with a leader they knew, rather than rhoose an untcsted premier. Nobody k-nows whether they wouid art the same way in a FalFeea olection,, pitting the more dramatir' Mr. Trudeau against the more solid Con- servative leader, Robert Stanfield. Wh-en Ocobe hd been thoouhlydicuscdas a possi1ý1ble daerorth e lec- tio a niew "wordc" rame out, setting the most likely time as in April. One reas- on for that time is tbat April is the month wben Spring realiy bits Canada. CGen- erally, inApril, ther1e is a feeling 0f newne-ss, of fresh- ness, of optimism among 'Canadians, said the poiýLtiral pundits favoring an) early Spring election.
