LaMarsh Claims Liberals Only Party With Chance

By RALPH CAMERON ‘ Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer insisting the Liberal Party was

the only one "with a mathe-‘ matical chance" in tile coming‘ election. Miss Judy LaMarsh. MP for Niagara Falls in the last parliament. said the Conserva-

tives would not get one seat in l

Quebec and “can‘t get 10 in On- tario" as she addreSSed a wom~ en's gathering in Memorial Hall. Mt. Stewart yesterday afternoon. The tiny hall was filled as Miss LaMarsh expressed the belief that Social Credit was finished tn Alberta. might get one or two seats in British Columbia. had no hope in Ontario and was “be- ing contained" in Quebec. She dismissed the NDP with a refer- ence to Tommy Douglas. the lea- der. as “the Regina reject." She said the Diberals were the only ones showing unity behind their leader and told her and fence of the defections of Con- servative cabinet members. She said only extremely serious con- slderatlons could make top men take this action as she stated men high in government had many time: given to it their life’s work and “for a Cabinet minister to reject his leader and ‘vs up all the things in which his life is wrapped up is a seri- ous thing. It is even more seri- ous for a politician than leaving his church. or even his wife.”

DENIES OBSTRUCTION ‘

She referred to remarks fre- quently made by people that they were opposed to Lester Pearson "because I don't like him on television." Miss La- Marsh commented that if TV had been in existence in former days "Mackenzie King would never have been elected even once. in— stead of many times. if he had been seen on television.”

The speaker denied the Lib- erals had "obstructed" the gov~ ernmcnt in its settling up of the Atlantic Development Board and

which tried unsuccessfully to support the board by making funds available to it. As it is constituted at present the board has no money to help anyone and all it can do is “make re-

:commendations to the prime min-

ter.‘

Speaking of the Gordon report she noted it suggested taking the unemployed from the Maritim- es and helping them settle else- where where there was Work. “But that is no good any more as under Diefenbaker there is no more employment elsewhere than there is here." she said.

Of some of the Prime Minis- ter's recent statements she said "and that is the truth according to St. John."

Tired from her long trip. and admittedly half sick from hun- ger as she had no dinner. Miss LaMarsh showed her legal train- ing as she appeared at what she had understood was to be a woman‘s afternoon tea‘" only to discoVer it was a full'scale poli- tical gathering in a tiny village.

On her way to take her place on the stage she noticed a table set up for later refreshments and stopped a moment to snatch a pickle which she chewed hap. pily.

Opening her talk. made with. out notes. she said she thought the people were “as sick of poll- tical campaigns as I am tired of elections. But we have had a minority government hovering daily on the brink of dissolution and only held in office by Social Credit.”

CRISIS NO’I‘ SUDDEN

She said the financial crises of last year had not happened suddenly. as claimed by the prime minister. "the r c c o r d I produced later proved there had been a consistently long drain on our reserves.”

She maintained the government had imposed its austerity taxes without legal sanction — “not o
