would not rise to the bait if the Conservatives attempted it.

It “takes two for a fight" and if one side refused to take up the challenge it could not amount to a major debating point. the Liberal MP for Tor- onto Davenport said

_ charge of Liberal ob- struction would not be effective because “everybody knows the truth."

The paramount issue would e “the crying need for strong and decisive government."

Other key Issues would be the

understanding of blculturalism and defence policy.

MAJORITY NEEDED In a restrained speech that made only one glancing refer-

ence to the cabinet defections Saturday of Trade Minister llees and Associate Defence

Minister Sevigny. Mr. Gordon stressed the need for obtaining a clear majority in the next “We have. seen what happens. when no party has a majority—under our sys- tem this simply does not work."

If elected. the Liberals would "within a week" taclde the prob- lem of reducing Canada's multi- million-dollar trade deficit with the United States.

This would lnvolve "producing at home some of the things that we have been buying from the United States."

A byproduct of the drive to redu.e the trade imbalance through increased secondary in- dustry also would be to create ne wjobs at the rate of 250.- flm-a-year over the n t four years instead of at the current rate of l00.000 a year.

"For us. a policy of isolation and hiin tariffs would be fatal; we must face up to the com- petition and beat it. There's no other course."

Mr. Gordon said Canada could not count on the implementa- tion of President Kennedy‘s trade expansion program. "I don’t know whether it is going to get off the ground." Some arrangement might be reached but of late there were protec- tionist tendencies in both the U.S. Congress and the Common Market countries.
