Whiie al Ibis is going on. in Canada, we aiso wili be on thie receiving end of the massive programs ini support of politicians, in the United States who wilL be votirnin their presidential election in Novembnýer. The Canadian Statesman will en- deaVonr ta, keep yau posted on local meetingsz and issues, showing as, littie bias as is humnanly possible. lougih W îiI Remain mepdia have been favorable to Mr. Mc- Keough and his "honorable" actionl in resigning. By the endof this wec1k, the stage will bc set for Mr. Davis to for- give 'and forget the wbole thing, slap Mr. McKeough on the wrist and refuse to accept bis resignation because lie is so hadiy needed in the cabinet as an out'standing man of vision and întegrity. If this bappens, Darcy probabiy wiil take a minute and a haîf to give the suggestion bis most sîncere considera- ion before accepting. With a' federal electinn derway, and -L'le country be- ing invoived so completeiy in the Rus- sian-Canadian hockey series, the inci- dent wili pass without too much furor and the Globe and Mail wiii bc con-. demned for exposing the thîng in the first place. It'ýs ail a matter of timing and people are peculiar. If Attorney Generai Diton Bales got away with bis problem, merely by stating hie would donate any profits hie niight make to charity, surely Darcy, lauded as the ablest, member' of, the cabinet, sbould have littie trouble in. being reinstated and purified. Affer ail, a great many, citizens think al poli - ticians are crooked anyway, Sc, thesýe two incidents merely confîrm their opinion. Who is next?

Turner wili also be, expecfed ta do- several ,.spots" on television and radio, urging the young peo- ple voting for the flrst time, f0 vote Liberal. Thius instead of this cam- paign heiug geared to Tru- deau, and Trudeau alone, as if was in 1968, the electorate will be confrouted by a Trudeau - Turner combina- tion. Apparently, private poils tHie Lîheral party has har tiken, haveshown that Trudfeau su'ad Turner are equally popular across the dountry. The Liberals planning strategy feel4 that Turer like Trudeau, is ne ol' the few members of the abne -wýho can be used antivvher:e in the country and he effec- tive la garneriug votesý. In s;omearas Turner is morei, populjar than Trudeau be- cause beîing less on the firiig line than the Prime Minister duriug the past four years, he bas not aroused the an- tagonisms thaf the key post of Prime Minister bas at- tract cd. Those rwbo see Tutrner a thle logâai Successor to MrX. Trudeau for týhe itop Job li thie Liberýal party, are not entirely happy witb the new election strategy. They fearc that if the election turns ont biadly, for the Grits their boy, Turner wiil get much of the biame, along with Trudeau. This will tsrnish his "golden boy" appeal in the uext leadership donven- tion. However, shonld the Lih- erals wîn a handsomne victory lu the upcoming Federai election and Turner bas played a major role, if wiil work fa bis advanfage if and when he seeks f0 sncceed Mn. Trutdeau, as' national leader. Mr. Turner, by em- harking an a national tour iu the campaigu urgiug the re- election of Mn. Trudeau, would be taking a calculat- ed risk. However, Mn Turner wheu he took on the job of Finance Minister iast Jan- uary, took a calculated risk. ,Hle was warned by many of bis friends that the fin- ance portfolio was "political suicide" focrayone with leadership ambitions. Neyer- tbeless, when Prime Minister Trudeau off ered hlm the job, Turner had f0 weigh the risk of taking the job against, the party autagonisms that would bave deveioped bad he refnsed fthe assignment. The word wouid have been passed thaf wben 'a tough job came aloug the politic- aliy ambitions. Mn. Turner ref used the assignmeut.
