The press boys cannot forget that it was the samne Mr. Trudeau, who when lie was elected leader in 1968, told a press conference there was no possibility of a snap gen- eral election. Only a few days later lie called just such a snap election in 1968. But this time hielbas told bis, own M.P.'s behind the closed doors of the ceucus room thaf there will be no june vote. This would seein to indicate lie defînîtelyba ruled out a Spring electian. Wliy lias the Prime Min- ister decided against ýan early vote? He bas not been very entbusiastic about it riglit from the lieginning. Liberal election planners within tie orgenization had been split over thc ad- vantages of going to the country thîs Spring, four years after fhe last election, or waiting unt il Octolier. Recent polis taken by the Lilicral Party have curbed the enthusiasm of the Lii- cral vote planners. Tliey show tie support of the Party had dropped in To- ronto and in British Co- lumbia, wiile rising slight- ly on the prairies and in the Maritimes. Tiat was a shocker to the Grits. Adding to their con- cern weýs a recent Gallup Poil. It showed that the Liberels support et the end of Mardi had slipped ta 25 per cent across the country and the Conservatives to 17 per cent, that is only eight points separeting tiem. Wbat really worried flie Lilierals however was thet ecross Canada 43 per cent of the voters, were ln the "undecided"' column. That was a higli rise from flie 29 per cent who could flot say which party tiey would support in 1968 just before the general election wes called. more surprising however was the fact that ia French Canada those in the "Can't Sayý' column had soared f0 59 per cent while those in English Canada who cannot make up their minds were reported at '34 per cent. That poliliby the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion was pulilished in newspapers the niglit that fhe caucus iwas told fiere would be no June election. ,Lieral liackbencliers scanning if were happy fiat the Prime iMinister lied becked away fromn a Spririg election, Tiey were disturbed liY the re- suits of the poil and by tic conclusion by pollists fiat: "The higli level of inde- cision is ýmade up ,toaa cer- tain degece off voters who hiave lost faiti in the Lii- eral party.' If the Liberal party is lus- ing ifs solid support in Que- bec it could lose the next electian. It lias been count- ing on strong support in Qucbec and on picking up enough seats in Ontario, British Columbia and flic Maritimes ta came fhrough with a large enough-me- jority taý easily formi the next govcrnment. Tic end of March Gallup Poli with 159 ýper cent undecided in Quebec astonisied Libemels and came asa pleasent sur- prise ta their opponents. 1 The Conservetives have got ta fry and convert thc uindecided into pro-Progres- Lsive Conser-vetives. Another poli, this time teken at the request of the Officiai Op- position Party in fie fed- erel field also caused sur- prise, by its findîngs. i showed Judge Claude Wegnier, Justice Minister in tie 1960-66 Liliemai gavera- ment in Quebec, was more popular in some instances, then Prime Minister Tru- deau. As a resuit specula- tion wes revived thet the Conservetîves migit try fo persuade Judge Wagner ta leave tie bencli and leed fie Conservetive forces in Que- Ibec. ___________ Trudeau Confusing Local PC'S Tic apparent indecision dis- plniAyed byMr. Trudeeu, iin the and wou]d like tlie nomination meeting lield'la May.
