x MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Notes The weakness of the present federal administration is clearly set forth in the key statement of the Prime Minister to the delegates to the National Conservative Convention recently convened in Ottawa. He told them: "Do not bind us in any way to policies which may in the next few months turn out to be ill-advised or pre- mature." The one policy which seems to have motivated the Conservatives is a policy of do-nothing-that-would-disturb the sta- tus quo. The present government is not giving the leadership it should. Nor is it tackling the: tough problems which con- front this country. . : Jean . Casselman, lady Conservative M.P. and daughter of the newly appointed Lieutenant-Governor for Ontario, made a speech the other day typical of the kind of thinking rampart in the party. She said: "Everything in Canada is just wonderful and there is no need for pessimism; those things which seem to show some pessim- istic signs will turn out to be optimistic." What kind of balderdash is this for a bril- liant M.P. to be spouting. Surely such- an empty statement cannot be meant either seriously or sincerely. The Glassco Report indicates the maj- or weakness in the operation. of the busi- France's Gambit Charles de Gaulle is in some ways a dictator. What he has been able to do for his country has been quite significant. It is doubtful if any other man could have brought France out of the Algerian mess the way he did. It is doubtful that any other man could have stabilized the gov- ernment the way he did. It is doubtful, too, that any other man could have served as a rallying symbol for the French. Having acknowledged the greatness of the man in these particular achieve- ments, something still remains to be said. De Gaulle sees himself ag something of a Messianic figure in France. There is noth- ing wrong of itself in this. The wrong comes when -hé starts to make use of personal whims in the guise of national policy. Here de Gaulle becomes dangerous, not only to his own country but to the and Comments The Conservative Convention ness of the government. It makes recom- mendations. These evoke such an equivocal response from the Prime Minister that one wonders why the Commission was ever set up in the first place. The task of government is not simple. Not even in a small country like Canada where space is an embarrassment rather than an opportunity. But that does not excuse any government from shying away from its responsibilities. They are, in the main, three. First to determine what the main problems are as they take office. Secondly, to plan as wisely and intel- ligently as possible some course of action. Third to commit themselves to the action they have determined upon. The question arises, What has the present administration done about these responsibilities? We are not expert when it comes to giving answers. There are others much better qualified to that than we are and they tell us that the Conserv- atives have failed to come to.grips with any of them. In the light of this it is understand- able that the Prime Minister should cau- 'tion the Convention members. Don't have policies; they made lead to action. rest of the free world. Louis the XIV, said, L'etat c¢'est moi. De Gaulle says, France, it is me. He is determined that France shall play a leading role inthe world. He wants to make use of nuclear bombs and arma- ments to ensure that France has a real voice in the future. He wants to keep Great Britain out of the European Common Market for the same reason. He fears that with her in, France will no longer dom- inate. That is why he has vetoed her entering the common market. Pressure by the other members of the E. C. M. and by the United States may force him to give in. At the moment he is intractable. The characteristics he now makes use of are typical of the man who finds himself with the mantle of dictatorship. against Hector William Shortridge, - portion of the Ross Golden buildings District BURKETON GIRL WILL RECEIVE $8,600 ACCIDENT SETTLEMENT Miss June Turnbull, age 15, Burke- ton, will reccive $8,600 through a, settlement in her favor, approved by Mr. Justice Morand on Monday.
