THE UNHAPPY WARRIOR

By PETER C. NEWMAN

If you look closely at the doz- en or so major new laws which Lester Pearson has added to Canada’s statute books during the past two years, the most striking fact about them is this: few if any, of his government's legislative measures resemble the original proposals on which they were based.

‘s habit of allowing events to alter positions. to which he seemed firmly com- mitted has left him open to the eharge that, lacking the tem- perament to be a politi¢al fana- tic, he is something very nearly as unsettling—an amateur in

politics.
