TRIES TO COMMENT Mr. Fisher, who nominated Mr. Argue for the NDP leader- ship at the founding convention Jast August, made an unsuccess- ful attempt to reply to his for- mer parliamentary |e ader’s statement. He then gavé notice he will do so today during the throne speech debate. Since his resignation from the NDP, Mr. Argue has steered a steady course toward Liberal ranks, stopping short of actually saying he will join the Liberals. Liberal Leader Pearson, out of town until Thursday. has in- dicated Mr. Argue will be ac- ceptable as a Liberal MP. Mr Argue told the Commons that ‘‘much careful and heart- searching thought preceded his decision to quit the NDP. hardest._pa W aving “who have served their country and their constituencies with distinetion and whose devotion t’ duty is an example to ‘he | whole House.” | Tight a The second difficulty was that his decision was bound to hurt close friends in the CCF who had tried to build a new party “based on social justice, econo- mic equality and with a basis of control in the constituency or- ganization.” A small labor cliquc, he said, controls the party. Their hold ould strengthen with affiliation of more union locals. With labor predominating at conventions, debate ‘‘becomes superfluous and votes become an exercise merely to rubber-stamp prev- iously agreed-to platform direc- tives." “As to the future, I shall merely say that I desire to seek re-election to Parliament in my own riding of Assiniboia and that I expect to make a further - announcement bearing on my sylitical future at an early date.” o 4 Boe wis HOUSE LEADER H.W. Herridge, CCF mem ber of Parliament for the British Columbia riding of Kootenay West, has been elect- ed House Leader of the CCF- NDP. He succeeded Hazen Argue who resigned Sunday.
