SALES MANAGER Phone, DONALD BISHOP PLANT MR.' MacDuff Report Summertime is Government Tim e The Libosal Governmont Ibis summer bas been bey- ing ho take advantage of a truism in polies - summer- lime gîves a govern ment a chance bo overshadow the opposition. A series of press conferences and -news an- nouncemerihs have flowed rom tbe cabinet ministers as lbey tried ho gain , as mucb attention as possible, Their aim is ho learti the impression of an active, de- cisive governmentcontrast- ed with the almost non-ex- istent opposition. In the summer, there is a shortage of news.' News- papers, radio and television stations need capy b fli their pages or newscasts. Thus, almost anything the government says or does during the summner reccîves far more coverage than lb. deserves. The 'Lîberais, know this and have givea Canadians a well-orchestniîh- cd series of announcements ranging from the New Hor- izons Program bo the sale of Polymer Corporation. While the govornmont benefîts from the slow news days in the summor, tbc opposition suffers bocause il chocs fot have a natural plat- form from which to oper- aIe. Wben Parliament la in session, opposition spokes- mon have an opportunity bo put forward thoir views about governmont announce- monts as soon as they are madeo. The Blouse of Com- mons rules require that government announcements be foliowed by lime for op- position reaction. But thore is no such requiroment about out-of-session govern- ernmont press conferences, And bbc opposition foars calling its own press con- forencos to attack govern- mont announcements be- cause then it is cloarly ho- ing criical merely for the sakeo f criticizing.' The summer shortage of news also helps the govern- ment because the Prime Minister - partly through bis office and partly through bis eonit - receivos greater attention than norm- al. Pierre Trudeau is an attractive man with a photo- geoic family. Even if ho were unattractive ho would draw considerable allen- tion because of tbe office ho holds. With his public appeal ho is a natural sub- ject for pictures and stories wben he goes on hcliday. This year his summor holiday- perbaps by co- incidence- has been perfect as a prelude ho an election campaign. He crossed Cana- da by train - whieh strehch- cd the ime of bis travell1- ing in Canada and gave hlm a chance to spend a few minutes at various sta- tion stops along the lino that normally he would onily, fly over. At these, stops ho shook some bands and was photographed, This" is iiuch bett-r, than gîving a press~ coolerence, At a press conference ho can ho asked tougb questions and may g iv e emharrassing answers. Sbaking hands and signing auhographs is la, line withhebbc ovie star style of carnpaigning whicb took hlm successfullY tbrough the Liberal con- vention and general election four years, ago and doesn't give him a chance 10 bace votes by saying the wrong tbing. Behind Ibis style of cam- paigning, however, lies bbc theory that people will vote for an attractive man solely bocause ho is attractive and proecets the image of a Prime Minister. It is, a theory that has heen suc- cessfully challenged in bbc United States. George Mc- Govern won bbc Democratie Parhy's, prosidential nomin- ation while bragging that ho lackod charisma. The attractive and charming John Lindsay nover came close to victory. The încum- bent Prosident, Richard Nix- on, would nover be accusod of being attractive. Ho is a hard-working, determined polîician. Perbaps the "ah- braotiveness is gond" tbeory of politics is dead but Car- adýian palitical strategists loi)'t know it yet The next elerhion will show ,wtb-r ti-up eople wbo fhocl, 40 sec Trudeau aise vote for him.
