Mr. Pearson’s Shuffle

Before Mr. Pearson had a chance to make the announcement he did last evening about his cabinet changes, that oldtime Liberal watch- dog, Senator Pouliot, got in a few words. In a message issued while the Prime Minister was returning to the

~~capital from his Caribbean jaunt, the

senator told his party boss that he should postpone any decision about

the future composition of his cabinet |

“until after your parliamentary sup- porters are given the opportunity to express their views and make their recommendations in a party caucus.” He went on.to classify a third of the old cabinet as “above average,” an- other third “average,” and ‘“‘the last third much below average.” There was, he thought, “enough solid tim-

__ber to replace all the dead wood in

: your cabinet,” but he warned that

“your veteran supporters are your best friends” and that they should be heard before any decision was made.

It would be interesting to know how the new lineup, without benefit of caucus Consideration, meets Sena- tor -Pouliot’s conception of what is needed to make the cabinet sea- worthy. In any. case, the job has in- volved a great deal of carpentering. Five new members have been. named to fill vacancies created by electoral defeats and resignations, and the dut- fes of-several ministers have been

‘shuffled in accordance, as Mr. Pear-

son said, with “a far-reaching reor- ganization of the cabinet designed to adapt governmental machinery to

ent in the New York Times. This writer points out that of the approxi- mately 32 per cent of the vote cast for Francois Mitterrand in-last Sun- day’s poll, nearly 26 per cent was con- tributed by the French Communists. The Socialist party, from which

Mitterrand sought its full complement

of 15 per cent. gave him only about

7 per cent. So that, if the runner-up | ‘to de Gaulle has acquired the voting

majority which would. have ‘elected | him president, his principal obliga- | tion for victory would still have been ' to the Communists. “Even those in | the United States who have-violently | attacked de Gaulle’s foreign policies | as destructive of ‘the essential unity

| of the free world’,” says The Times -

| writer, “must balk at such a transfer of. power in France as the only pos- sible alternative.” We believe this would be the con- | sensus of opinion in Canada as well. | What one would like to see is a new | President de Gaulle emerging from | tomorrow’s contest, no longer arro- | gant, scornful and self-satisfied. but | heedful of the fact that his policies, though not his stabilizing influence, have failed of indorsement by his people. Nothing in the French Con- stitution could force him, if re-elect- ed, to unbend in this manner, but if would be the course of wisdom, sure- ly. There is' to be a parliamentary eleetion in another year,;-and if the French become too exasperated they can deny the Gaullists a majority in the next assembly.

Briefs & Money Galore

There will be a sigh of relief at the news that the B and B Commis- sion has completed its public forums

prepare ‘its report. Unfortunately, that won’t be the last we shall have heard from it, for it has‘warned that

of an “interim” nature. When it proposes to come to grips with a final _Feport, ‘goodness knows.' Perhaps a year or two from now. It the mean- time it has 410 briefs from groups” and individuals to digest, and oodles of money to carry on with-—all ten commissioners, and their army of bureaucrats and camp followers.

It’s been -the- costliest- and most

across the country. At last report, it had cost $2,500,000 but that was before it reopened its inquiries after the federal election. .One commis- sioner talks confidently of it costing

new conditions and changing needs.” Specific ministers would ‘be charged with responsibility for manpower, energy and resources, and crime and correction.,.Itwill be difficult, now,

to say who is holding those “key”

posts about which there has been so much contention. oe

. The new lineup gives eleven port- folios to Ontario, nine to Quebec, two ' to British Columbia and one each to. Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New.

-Brunswick and. Manitoba. Out in the

cold along with P.E:I. are. Saskat- chewan and Alberta. The West has lost out on Mr: Hays’ replacement as . agriculture minister to J. J. Greene, an Ontario newcomer. Miss LaMarsh has been shunted from Health and Welfare to the less accident-prone post of State Secretary. Mr. Favreau remains president of the Privy Coun- cil, and Mr. Sauve has an enlarged portfolio of Rural’ Development and Forestry. Mr. Winters, as expected, goes to Trade and Commerce, Mr. Sharp to Finance and Messrs. Martin,

Pickersgill,Hellyer,-MclIllraith_and-

Cardin to their old posts.

calling that. it was a year ago today that Mr. Pearson issued his memor- able “code of ethics” to his then cabinet colleagues, telling them how necessary it-was to avoid giving ‘ex- cuse for scandal and scuttlebutt. This wasn’t brought up at the press--con- ference yesterday; but it is too good a-code to fall into disuse, its reissue on this occasion would be timely. -i The French Election

' Despite the sharp campaign against him, it is expected that Gen- eral de Gaulle will weather the storm in the French. presidential election tomorrow. The chances favor him because of the wide range of political differences that separate the support- .ers of his recent opponents. The ef- fect of the voting on Dec. 5 was to show that the French people prefer keeping him for another term, but | w him to. reverse those policies which so dangerously isolate France: from its allies. a

’ This is a-matter of concern to the Western powers generally. But there is another angle to the run-off elec- tion tomorrow, which would cause

_ misgiving in the event of a defeat for

the general, and which is well sum.
