In the last Gallup poll, 51 percent of the < respondents declared themselves favorable to the Liberal government. Heaitn Minister Marc Lalonde said in Montreal yesterday that the government would have to call an election before | seeking constitutional changes to guarantee minority rights. Lalonde had earlier stated that a fall 1977 election, two years before Trudeau’s mandate expires, would not be a waste of public funds. And Solicitor-General Francis Fox has stated publicly that he prefers an early election. But there is nothing more detestable than an election bare of major issues and called for only one reason: power, The last three provincial elections, in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, were called without an important issue and in each case, the incumbent premier failed to receive the mandate he sought. An election called by Trudeau for no other reason than good poll results would be perceived by most Canadians as an opportunistic maneuver. For this reason, the prime minister holding backroom talks with his top political advisers, such as Jim Coutts, Keith Davey, and Gerry Robinson, in an attempt to turn up an election issue that can be credibly linked to the question of national unity. The possibility is a so-called charter of minority rights, hinted at by Lalonde yesterday, which would be designed to protect French-speaking minorities in English provinces as well as Quebec's English-speaking minority-currently presented to the rest of Canada as the victim of a power play by the Parti Quebecois government. The big loser in an early contest would be Canadian democracy and the multi-party system. An early election would deprive the Conservatives of the benefits of an orientation congress; scheduled for November, and a possible challenge to Joe Chark's leadership. Social Credit, still a force in rural Quebec, is in a state of disarray following the recent death of its leader in an automobile accident. The New Democrats have failed to pose themselves as a federal alternative and their lack- lustre policy on national unity will deny them the chance to increase their share of the popular vote. A rushed election would, in fact, be a plebiscite on national unity, disguised as an election. Even worse, the Opposition would be almost totally absent. Trudeau could ride the referendum results to power until 1981, assuring the prime minister of a 13-year reign. It’s as if the rise of the Quebec independence movement means the disappearance of Canada’s party system. When power never changes hands, it’s hardly possible to talk of democracy.

I tried to play It straight, to stick to the facts in thinking that most voters are common-sense people,” he said, ‘‘That doesn’t seem to be the answer.”’ In a written statement ublished Wednesday in ‘ancouver, Wallace said polariza tion and extremism B.C, politics makes it. difficult for a party that! actical policies. with social reform in a mixed economy.

He also. noted the rsonality and style of the eader are of greater importance than. ever before, CHARISMA NEEDED “The leader with that hard-to-define quality which turns people on, popularly known as charisma, has a head-start .on ‘all his competitors,’’ he said, adding he doubted Mackenzie King would have enjoyed lasting political. supremacy in today’s media-oriented world. the president's optimism, especially since Begin’s proposals for settlement appear: to’ be in’ direct: conflict with the positions . take by the Arab countries and by Carter himself.

Another week, another column, let’s start this one off with some general information for all of us to read and heed, 10-4? TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR C.B.'ers: 1. Thou Shalt Noi Use a 10- 33 In Vain. Remember the shepherd who cried ‘‘wolf” too often. | A 10-33 is for- emergencies only, ; 2. Thou Shalt Respect A 10-33 In Progress. The person who calls a 10- 33 and the first person to respond are the only ‘people wired. If the radio traffic - is limiting the exchange of information THEY must insure that the channel remains clear. Calls by other CBers to clear the channel just add to the traffi c. 3. Thou Shall Respond To A Request For A “Break” If You Have Control] Of A Channel, Unless you have a signed bill of sale from DOC every channel is available to any ‘CB’er. Give the breaker a short time to use the channel, . 4. Thou Shalt Not Give What You Don’t Possess, Don't tell a breaker to go ahead if you are not speaking on the channel. meone you can’t hear may be there. 5, Thou Shalit Use The “Break! Correctly. Don't “Break” an empty channel. Just go ahead and make your call. If you “Break” a busy channel, wait for a response, give a short reason for breaking, Give The Channel. Back. 6, Thou Shall Not Use Profanity or Abusive Language. , Profanity is the crutch of the illiterate, Although the person you are talking to may not mind, there is no way to count the number of children who may be listening, 7, Thou Shalt Not Step On Another CB’ers Answer. When one CB’er calls for another. , give him a chance to answer. Jumping on the _channel to give your own call will only cover the response that is expected. 8. Thou Shall Not Steal. Breaking into a conversation and talking to one CB’er, while ignoring the other is ‘‘stealing” the channel. Talk to them both or “stand on the side’’. 9. Thou Shall Look Before You Leap. Transmission of silence squeals, whistles, anim: sounds, radio programs and other such idiocies take up talking space. 10. Again Thow Shall Look Before You Leap. After contacting a CB'er on the local call channel move to another channel But listen before starting to talk. Some CB’er may be just taking a breath, And another to think. ahout: 11. Thou Shall Not Crank Up.

He said the Progressive . Conservative party had not developed into a viable force under his leadership and showed no sign of doing so if he remained leader until the next election, , "Wallace added that he had lost his zest and enthusiasm, and said “it was time for the Progressive Conservative part to seek out a new eader to articulate moderate ideas in an effective way and attract that large percentage of the electorate. which earnestly seeks a third option between the polarized forces of the present.” 0 At the time of his Begin has ruled out the creation of a Palestinian homeland on the. west, bank. .. of the Jordan River, which’ Israel has occupied since seizing it from Jordan in the 1967 war and which Begin now regards as part of the Land.

Palestinian refugees. . However, diplomats tend ‘to regard Begin’s hard-line ition, at least on some issues, to be in the realm of diplomatic shadow-boxing. They suggest that all overnments enter in- ernational negotiations with tough terms in hand but modify them as bargaining gets andar way “My $24,000 as a party leader has been quite adequate,’”’ he said, adding that in any case, he would have had to return to his general practice at Oak Bay goon, because he has been out of medicine for so long. Wallace said the basic two-party system now existing in B.C. - Social Credit and New Democratic Party - will continue for a number of years and -deplored what he termed the factors of fear and coercion that will force uncommitted voters to choose the lesser of the two evils. a There is a way out of the wilderness, however, he said, But as far as Dr. Scott Wallace is concerned, he is not to be the leader wh blazes the trail. : termed ‘“‘a just settlement of the refugee problem.” Begin also has said that ‘the participants should go to the conference, which: has been standing adjourned since shortly after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, without pre-conditions, This proposal, while it seems to inconsistent with his own apparent pre-condition on the surrender of the west bank, is laken to indicate a willingness at least to listen to Arab views on the subject. .
