On a number of cecasions- in the B.C, Legislature I have referred to Bob Williams as the - architect ‘for Socialism ~ and Government: policy -in British. Columbia. . ct Lreally believe that Williams / is-the sort of -grey! eminence behind the throne of King David Barrett, Williams maintains a very low profile these days so low. thal he is almost a shadowy figure 10 those who wish an audience,‘ and he grants his Dave-Barrelt’ is the visible leader; and he does’ it well : downing his way through the busines of . British Columbia, while Williams is hard at.work, building; a socalled Sociallst ulopia. The. Williams influence is. everywhere. . In every -depart- ment of. government there is a.. Williams henchman somewhere “influential. ‘being: Dr. Mason’ . Gatiney, the man who authored the theory that it is much more gensible.to achieve,.a socialist stale through taxation rather’ than takeover, And if Williams is the architect, then Gaffney,” as head of the B.C. Institule for Economie ‘Policy Analysis, is the leading drafisman. - It is significant that Williams, (a former planner) once served: - on the execulive of. the Lower Mainland . Regional, Planning. ‘Board,’ Look who else is around: “today, : “Alistair-Crerar is’. “director of. the ‘all. powerful ‘ Environment ‘and: Land Use: . Secretarial... The? assistant: director ’is’ Dennis D, O'Gor- man, Both were withthe Lower. “Mainland Regional Planning Board, Norm Pearson is ~ Willams Executive Assistant.

Parker Is: director of Transit services inthe government, All were planning buddies and co- workers with Willlams. So was BDI Lane, now Chairman of the _Land Commission. So was Mary Rawson, who Is also a director of the Land. Com- _ mission - in fact she used to be ‘Williams pariner ina consulting business. And there are several more but I'm sure you begin lo get the pattern and it must be much more clear exactly who is the, monkey and who is. (he erdan grinder. Finally, | want to talk to you - aboul the slate. of the- Social Credit Party of British Columbia and friends It is all good news. ~ Never in my memory in this province has a political parly progressed so far, so quickly. There have been a. lot of rumours around about my role in B.C. political future. For -gome reason, the hotliners and newspaper columnists were forever sliding me into bed with “the so-called ‘Unity’ Party, 1 was going to be the first Socred to defect and in fact some of them even had me as (he new leader of this political albatross, And then the other day, I turned the radio on, and here I was aboul lo become the leader of some kind of a mony strosity called the Soeial- Conservative Parly. These rumours are greal fun for the news pecple, and I know thal wilh the Legislature not in sessidn they have (o gel their stories wherever [hey can. even if they have to make them up. Bul lel me make it clear, once and for all, that I’m nal going _anywhere, My commit(ment is \o the Brilish Columbia Social The Cabinet Ministers, Senators, the Provincial Leader, Members of both Federal © Provincial Houses of Parliament, all the Delegates from Lower Post lo the border were out in force!
