- Stanfield: an n Abraham Lincoln
or a friendly Frankenstein? -

By HARRY BOYLE |

‘Abraham Lincoln? —-

Or a friendly Frankenstein with
o few gears missing?

The question stands: Is Robert
Stanfield a man for the times
or a manufactured man, a pro-
duct dreamed up in the backroom
of an advertising agency and
rushed into the market before
the bolts were tight?

.The upper echelon Estabe
lishment members who heard him
in Vancouver under the lulling
influence of wine and $50-a-plate
dinners went -home uncertain,

Vancouverites, as Canadians
everywhere, were looking for a
tall dark stranger te come stri-
ding into their lives armed with
fresh ‘ideas, inspiration and con-
fidence,

Instead they were greeted by
an almost diffident Maritimer
with a humour as dry and sharp
as salt herring tobacoo,

* * i]

Up from under the layers of
nawral reserve and up from
under the unnatural ‘“image’’
came flashes of warm humanity
and keen insight. . . an ability
to laugh at himself—at his own
pretensions and at the preten-
sions of athers,

The dinner, God knows, gave
him plenty of opportunity for
silent laughter .. too much
food and too much booze left
many of the 400 somnolent— some
dozed, others merely drowsed
as the session ran farther and
farther behind schedule,

Not everyone slept. Many
indeed most, were kept awake
by that desperate hopefulness
that characterizes Canadians to=

fails neither by flamboyance no

What did they see in Stanfieta’?

They saw & generality that
they had come to suspect in the
glimmerings of disappointment
that followed the shimmering suc«
cess of the Toronto convention,

But there was something more
substantial, too, There was a
subsurface of sincerity, a quick
appreciation of the Canadian
“scene:

“Yesterday's .compromise is
today’s commitment. Tt is be.

accumulation afold commitments
and old compromises falling due

ively and to respond effectively
to new situations,’*

Or: “The resort to an ine
crease in taxation— whileitmi
be dressed up as an anti-i wae ae
tionary measure — was really
necessary in order to pay the
bills.”

He's good when he's shooting
out these perceptive observa=
tions but he hasn’t yet come hard
to grips with the issues from
the main stream of political life,
He hasn't gone beyond the pre
liminaries— but he must soon—
if he’s going anywhere at all.

The dinner itself wasa masters

Report from Parliament Hill

By FRANK HOWARD, M.P,
The era of the ‘new politics’
is arriving. But, one can hardly
tell. it from the ‘old politics’
for the machinations are the

same, the purpose identical.

And the Liberal leadership
race is bringing to our attention | to
some of the connivances that
‘goon. in the internal operations
of government.

Mariy of you may recall an
article [ Wrote about a year
ago where I. pointed out that
Mr, - Joseph O'Keefe, Liberal
M.P, for St. John’s East in New.
foundland, had been choseri-‘to

about a construction project to
be underiaken in Newfoundland.

1 didn’t complain about this, but.
merely pointed it out to ‘show
that opposition M.P.’s never get

ment. . *
On December 22, 1967 the
Honourable “Paul _—_—‘Hellyer,

Minister of Transport and’ can.
didate for Prime Minister, is-
sued a press release . about

such honoured and favoured treats |.

Hellyer contained the statement
that Mr, ‘Robert “ Bud’ e,
M,P. had been working closely
with the government on this
matter. All well and good,

1 know “Bud Orange quite’

well 2 and have always found him

be forthright ‘and straight,
Pm sure he worked to obtain
this particular radio service and
I am pleased that it was ob
tained.

However, that is not the point,
The point. of ali this is that
bud’? Orange is.a Liberal M.P,
and the Liberal government ob-
viously .- channels information
about such matters through the
ranks of the Liberal Party. it-
self, In other words the Lib.
eral Party is out to adjustevery-
thing: to suit its own acceptance
in Canada,

* * L

If something good happens the
amouncement about it comes
from the Liberal Party. If somes
thing not so good. happens there
is silence in the.Liboral Party,

This is like taking ‘credit for
the sunshine and blaming some.

Liberal use of announcements

this, but I think that. it should
be exposed so the general pub-
lic. can come to a conclusion
as to whether they accept such
chicanery or reject it,

Let me repeat what I said
in the article I wrote about this
matter about a year ago, At
that time, with respect to the
announcement by Joe O'Keefe, the
Liberal M.P. for St, John's, I
said, and I quote it here word
for word:

- “Quite frankly, F- don’t care
who makes the announcement so

long, as the particular project

is undertaken, The important
thing is to get on with the job
and serve the people’s Interest
and not, I repeat, not serve a
political party's interest,” .

If there is an advantage in
being on the government side
it is simply that one is chosen
to make announcements on he»
half of the government,
