"What lis important is that we (the goverament)' have te move in the 'good direction, because our conscience is not satisfied if we da net move la gocd direc- tion. If' this governmnent does net succeed then I doa't know who is goingte succeed," ho said. the decisions were boîng made by, honest, men, men who were in- teliectually above average, such as Mr. Trudeau himselif. "Soen people feel Mr. Trudolau is not as- goed as thoy thought he was go- ing te be, but I think hie is bot- ter than I originally tihcught. lie is stroag morally and intellectu- ally, much differenit fromn the pub- lic imnage.
