Free press. Wednesday june 6.1962 Reserve to limit Quin attn a thousand by Alan Donnelly Ottawa up it s been said a Good picture is Worth a thou Sand words in the political scale of values one Good slogan can sometimes be Worth a thousand speeches. A Good one must have punch tug at the emotions and be adaptable to just about any Situa Tion in 1935, Mackenzie King and the liberals shouted King or chaos and toppled prime min ister Bennett s conservatives. Political pundits pretty Well agree that As a catch phrase it has never been bettered. For this Campaign the four parties have thought deeply and come up with slogans they Hope can be just As effective. Prime minister Diefenbaker is being presented As the Man for All Canada with emphasis on take a stand for tomorrow., the liberals reply. It s that can be easily adding such words As vote vote the Pearson new democratic party the slogan is new leadership with Douglas and its no coincidence that the phrase is evocative of the party s name. Liberal or with the red for the liberals. But for the nip and social credit the distinction is blurred. Both use Green. On the Cal candidates sometimes seize on slogans and new techniques that Are just As effective As those devised by National head quarters. One conservative candidate in Montreal Tours his constituency in a truck fitted up As a coffe Wagon. Another in the Ottawa area rented a twin to whistle Stop his Way through his Riding this weekend. In Vancouver some Liberal supporters carry stickers on their car bumpers saying. Hit me i m a Liberal social.

One variety originated in West Ern Canada carries a caricature of finance minister Fleming and an end Section marked cents with the words this Section not negotiable please since it carries the name of none of the opposition parties it can be used by any of them. Progressive conservatives on the West coast have adapted a gimmick that was highly successful in the 1958 Campaign. That year s version showed foot prints with the words follow John and its use spread from Vancouver across Canada. This year the words Are keep in comic gag social credit however has come up with a new wrinkle. It s an eight Page Story in col ored pictures of the career of party Leader Robert n. Thomp son in the format of a news paper coloured comics Section which goes with an eight Page tabloid size newspaper called focus. Election slogans have a Long history in Canadian politics. Still remembered in the phrase the old Man. The old Flag the old party used by sir John a. Macdonald in 1891 in winning his last election for the conservatives. Even More memorable is the no truck nor Trade with the Yankees coined by the conservatives in 1911 to counter the Liberal party s proposals of Trade reciprocity with the United states. Slogans can be turned against the party that used them. After the King or chaos one in 1935, the conservatives were saying we got but it did them no Good in 1940. In the present Campaign the liberals used the phrase the wasted years Early in the con test to attack the government s record. Liberal strategists say the Best Job of publicising the phrase was done by prime min ister Diefenbaker when he referred to it eight times in a Nat ional to speech while defending his record. Traditional party colors have always been used in elections Blue for the conservatives and i in Piui to i in a More productive Ture. There is no reason to think that the russian people Are going to go hungry because of the shortage of meat and butter. But the new prices Are a strik ing reminder to them that their Standard of life is being Depres sed by the costs of the race of armaments. This contrasts with the advanced nations of Western Europe and North Amer Ica. There although the Mili tary costs Are High and Are rising the popular Standard of life is rising too. It would Rise even More rapidly if the Ameri can Economy were not throttled Down. Bad news it is a reasonable guess that the bad news that Premier Khrushchev has had to Tell the russian people is closely related to the hardening of soviet Diplo Macy at Geneva and in the Rusk Dobrynin talks in Washington. The soviet government like other governments shrinks from offering to make concessions abroad when it is demanding sacrifices at Home. An agreement about Berlin which affirmed sex i elicit by the Western rights of a Cess it May look to or. A very big Concession when seen from mos cow. In All probability or. Khrushchev is at present not Strong enough to make such a Concession. This will not be a Surprise to those who in favor of attempting to negotiate about Berlin. They have known from the beginning that is since last summer that Only a Miracle could produce an agreement on a statute governing the position of West Berlin. Eor neither Side can now make the concessions which such an agreement would require. And so some have asked Why bother about talking with the russians diplomacy the Best reason for continuing to talk though no agreement is sight is that by remaining in close diplomatic Contact Washington and Moscow have been Able to prevent the dangerous situation in Berlin from getting out of control. In this both Washington and Moscow and of course London Paris and Bonn As Well have a common vital interest with or without the Wall the divided City of Berlin is a Breed ing ground for adventure and conspiracy. With no lasting Settle ment in sight it is enormously important that Moscow and Washington be in such close Contact Cost of recounts hit by inflation Ottawa Cost of election recounts like every thing else has gone up. A candidate in the june 18 election if he wants the ballots recounted to the Price used to be it was increased through an amendment to the Canada elections act passed at the 1960 session of parliament. The commons committee on privileges and elections which proposed the boost agreed that no longer covers the Cost of a judicial recount. Some members Felt that even would not cover it. Another Factor was the desire to discourage indiscriminate and far fetched recounts. I hate to imply any ulterior motives to candidates but there have been recounts where the majority has been. Chief electoral officer Nelson. Caston Guay told the committee. That May be a Fashing expedition on the part of the per son applying for the recount t examine All documents to As certain whether there a grounds to contest an elec Tion. But i think the member of the committee will agree that to apply for a recount with a majority of is not Rea the constituency returning finer sets the Date for the official recount held no Earlie than a week after the election within four Days a candidate May appear before a judge an ask for a recount. He must have the sworn Aff Davit of a credible in the words of the election a that ballots were improperly counted or rejected o night or that the i turning o f f i c e r improper added the vote totals from each poll. The Deposit is Security for the court costs of the can originally declared win Ner. Hat they cannot be dragged into a by local accidents and local misunderstandings. That is the reason Why the Alks As such Why continual meeting and talking As such Are Good thing. The Basic fact is lat the soviet Union and the United states Are the two no ear Powers who have the Capa Ity to ruin each other and pro uce an irreparable disaster to in civilized world. For them nth this Power and this responsibility abstaining in the Rand manner from diplomatic intact would be irresponsible rid mad. Euro Mart in the Western negotiations bout Britain s entering into the common Market and in the talks bout . Relations with France s respects nuclear affairs the ame Rule of continuing to talk applies. The . Must Hope that Britain will be Able to join this ear and that America will be we to work out a trading part Reship with the european Community beginning next year. Mist Hope too that proposals an be made about nuclear of airs which will persuade French Pinion if not Gen. De Gaulle himself that instead of an in dependent nuclear Force there hould be an integration of the British and the French nuclear efforts in the Alliance with the United states. The facts of nuclear life Are Uch that the attempt to create n Independent striking Power will not reinforce but will break apart the Atlantic Alliance. The . Could never permit a French government to use an ind Epen ent Force to make a first no Lear strike without american consent. The French government now knows this. The . Cannot Ermit a first nuclear strike which would precipitate a War which America alone could finish. Integration what the . Can do is to Enist British and French nuclear industries and research and the military personnel in building up an integrated Western strategic Force. The . Has already be gun so i hear to do this with great Britain where it is real Zed that the British nuclear Force will almost certainly be obsolete within ten years. There the . S investing in the development of a very advanced air plane which the British have done More about than anyone else. The rivalry within the West Ike the rivalry Between East Ano West cannot be settled neatly or settled soon. But the True policy s to keep on talking never let Arig the argument come to a showdown and a breakdown. Copyright 1962 new York Herald Tribune incorporated.
