It may be that the Camp group regards Mr. Diefenbaker - as an Obstacle to a policy realignment on these issues,-or some of them. But if such is the case, their real. objec- tives are being concealed and the real power -play transcends the issue :

- A furore has been raised about a “smashing victory” for the anti-Dief- enbaker faction at a pre-conference executive meéting on, Sunday night, which boiled down to the fact that the election of officers had been re- scheduled from late Wednesday to 2.30 p.m. today. This change of
