‘. Tory Party History

With news of the proposal of a leadership convention being reject- ed by the Conservative national ex- ecutive, but by a reportedly narrow margin, the occasion is timely for a backward glance at the history of Canada’s oldest political party, and its record from the time of the at- tainment of responsible government and Confederation until the debacle which ended in the defeat of the Diefenbaker administration. It is by stepping back that we can see the present picture in better perspective.

A valuable contribution to this end has been made by Heath Mac- quarrie, junior MP for Queens, in a book just published by McCelland

game in this manner, the Conserva- tives should now be fighting among themselves over the result. Mr. Dief- enbaker, his critics within the party complain, is on too high a pedestal; he has become too dictatorial. They have been doing their best to ‘“de- bunk” him in what they claim to be the interests of party unity.

Mr. Macquarrie has nothing to say on this point. stead, to compare the periods be- tween 1957 and 1963 with the Ben- nett era of 1930-1935. Both periods, he notes, were difficult economically, and in both the party was led by a strong personality. nett was impressive and powerful on the platform he never had the popu- lar appeal and charismatic qualities of Diefenbaker.”’

ic plies only in very exceptional cases. It relates to qualities that are divine-

miracles. We should think that the party dissidents would question whether Mr. Diefenbaker is gifted in this way, or only imagines he is. Here, like the Delphic oracle of old, Mr. Macquarrie leaves his real mean- ing open to some doubt.

There is no question as to his high opinion of the revolt leader, Leon Balcer, whom he rates as a man of charm and popularity, personify-

in Quebec, and with the capacity and temperament to be the party’s mod- ern Cartier. But he says nothing about Leon’s “charismatic” qualities, one way or the other.

World Exchange Problem

By Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer

President de Gaulle’s call for { there is little world support for

a return to the gold standard emphasizes the difficulties the world faces as it seeks an al- ternative acceptable medium of world exchange at a time when both Britain and the United States are pursuing policies that would restrict the world flow of U.S. dollars and British pound sterling.

Currently, all three — gold, sterling and dollars—are widely used to finance an expanding world trade that must keep on growing if countries are to maintain economic health.

The amount of official gold that is available at current prices is insufficient to finance

!a@ return to the gold standard | and the rigidities of the 1931 esas system that proved untenable. e

But France has been turning , much of its surplus holdings of U.S dollars into gold, at the expense of the U.S. treasury. The European Common Market countries now hold about $13,- 213,000,000 in gold compared | with some $15,600,000,000 in ‘the | US. as of Dec. 31, 1964. | Wf European countries, includ- | ing France and West Germany, were to decide to convert more of their U.S. dollars into gold, Europe, and not the U.S., would become the predominant holder

a‘study of interest and importance. ~<A warm tribute is paid to the au- thor in a fereword by Hon. J. M.

many subjects. “One can hardly thagine.” says this competent judge, “any one better prepared for the task he has undertaken in. the writ-

ing of this history of the Conserva-—

tive Party in Canada.”

' RECENT EVENTS—Mr. Maction- néell’s foreword is dated November, 1964, when the book, presumably, was completed. This would explain why the more recent disturban- ces within the party are not dealt with, or even touched upon. Note is taken, however, of the abortive ef-

leadership in the dying days of his administration.

__..While many of the men igvolved_ in that movement were able and in- telligent, says the author, “it is dif- ficult to find a less glorious example of political revolution than theirs. A more effective liaison within ‘ the parliamentary caucus might have won them additional support or what is more likely warned them of the almost certain failure of their ef-

forts. Even if many Conservatives

shared their view that the leader should go there would be few. party people prepared to storfiach- such a course on the eve of an election.”

Mr. Macquarrie poses the question of what would have happened had a new leader taken office and received the support of Robert Thompson and his Social ‘Credit followers. What would continuation in office with Mr. Thompson’s parliamentary backing have meant? The query is left for the reader to suggest his own an- Swer.

LIBERAL TECHNIQUE—The au- thor goes back to 1949, under the Liberals, for “the new and greater emphasis on the deliberate projection of the leader image by the public re- lations experts of the Liberal Party.” They were, he says, “highly success- _ful in portraying George Drew as a stuffy, straight-laced, old-line Toronto Tory incapable ‘of establishing rap-

. strength after the 1958 -election may have proven its greatest political weakness in 1962. It probably con- tributed to ~ amazing attitude in any party so re- cently removed from a series of elec- toral reverses.” The party “relied too much on its record and devoted in- sufficent attention to publicizing it.” Space does not permit us to give attention to the earlier chapters of Mr. Macquarrie’s book, but they pro- vide, in Mr. Macdonnell’s words, “a discriminating and understanding Picture of the leaders of the past” + and of the party which for so long has been a vital force in Canadian history.

It Saved Lives

. Last year, prior to “Safe Driving Week” (Dec. 1 to 7) the Canadian Highway Safety Council launched an all-out effort to make Canadian mo- torists nore safety conscious. It elicited the support of government agencies, private industry, public ser- vice groups as well as the press and air channels, in the strongest cam- paign so far attempted along these lines. Many of those who cooperated doubtless wondered, from past ex- perience, if there was any point in these efforts. It seemed virtually im- possible to check the appalling death toll by such means.

Now the tabulations are in, and they point reassuringly to the fact that the campaign did register with the driving public. Not as much as could have been wished,; but unmis- takeably to some extent. During Safe Driving Week last December, 61 Canadians lost their lives in road ac- cidents. That was 11 more+than the Council had optimistically predicted.

—it represented 37 deaths less than the normal weekly average.

paign had proved effective.

lofts at King’s Lynn, Norfolk, attended the Olympaid on Sat- urday, January 30.

Pigeons can win as much as $5,600 for their owners during their racing career, and after- wards can demand good stud fees for breeding. One British- bred pigeon in an international race flew 686 miles one race day, while some of the fastest speeds known are as high as 93.5 miles an hour.

In the second world war pig- |

eons were used for messages more than in the previous war. During the period of the Ger- man _ occupation of Europe large numbers of pigeons were “dropped in ers to return in many cases with useful information about troop movements or particularly, du- ring the later years of the war, with information about rocket launching sites. They also car- ried emergency messages from _aircraft to bomber and coastal commands of the Royal Air force operating when a radio silence was essential. One of
