Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 3, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press saturday february 3, 1968 French Canadian newspapers speak out on current issues Al a this is 3 peer lion of trials on current topics translated from the French language press of Canada. In Devoir Montreal the Federal Liberal meowing in Montreal was marked by two main Evams which arc closely linked. The first is the adoption of a fundamental Resolution explaining the Posu Invof que Bec Federal liberals on the constitutional question. The second is the Ascendancy to a dominant plice of or. Tru Deau s thinking in the Quebec Section of Tho Liberal federa Tion the Success Elliott Trudeau won among delegates is attributable is the outset to his intellectual vigor Subtle seduction and obvious Cour age. Many delegates have always considered or. Trudeau p. Cold intellectual Distant and abstract. They were astonished to find out that the Justice minister in Stead is capable of rising without artificial oratory to a Peak of clarity and simplicity perhaps a Peak of eloquence in our time. If in t h e constitutional problem delegates were not aware of the particular que Bec situation it s probably be cause this situation occupied Only a Small part in the whole question the Justice minister presented that morning. Of this particular situation or. Trudeau sees mostly the Nega Tive aspects and dangers. Even if be unfair to suggest that he wants to deny it the impression is that he does not want it explicitly and that he seeks to make some expedient shift in the Over All solution to make it apply vigorously to All prov inces. The personality of or tru Deau is too Rich his potential for enriching political tempting that everywhere in Canada there Are indications he will be an eventual Candi Date for1 the Liberal party leadership to condemn or reject him by a stroke of the pen for this single limitation. However we think or. Tru Deau in the should state precisely his thinking in a More satisfactory Way on this vital question of Quebec s place in the Canada of Tomor Row. In his present formula of or. Trudeau is too coldly logical and rational to reflect completely the complexity of the Canadian scene. If or. Trudeau could with out abandoning Priboi a broader approach to the. Subject he would have a better Chance to become party Leader in the of strongly representing not Only two cultures already has done in an exemplary manner for some time but also of two societies the two Basic communities of men and women who make up this c o u n t r Claude Ryan Jan. 29 Stern Csc trucks totally moved 999 mpg. 21, 786-3831 organist and choir director Simmid Fate opening St. Andrew s anglican Church apply in writing Rector Rev.

It must be noted at the Start that the particular Circum stances of a leadership race among l i b e r a 1 a detracted from its Complete., Success. For the average party Mem ber it was t easy to become keenly interested in such abstract questions As constitutional Reform while watching the personal Competition among the succeed or. Pearson unfold before their eyes. However what was dreaded did not happen. The inevitable near Battles Between develop ing factions did t Hurt objective discussion on Constitution Al matters As some feared. On this the advice and Cau Tion of the Quebec Leader Jean Marchand had been listened to. By most of the Dele Gates who for their part showed a Good degree of discipline. Despite the Side issues which endangered the result initially the convention As a. Whole reached its main objective which was to present the Var ious aspect to the constitutional option for consideration by the Quebec Wing of the f ederal lib eral. Party. Among the resolutions adopted last weekend the one that dealt with abolition of the symbols of the monarchy seems to us to be at first glance the most difficult one to be accepted by non Quebe cers if by Chance approved by the leadership convention. At the rate this idea is evolving there in t much believe that be ready for acceptance by non Quebe cers in the Short two months Felteau Jan. 29 Quebec i Actori in spite of the Avalanche of candidates the Liberal leadership convention does not yet Guaran tee us a substantial revival m Federal politics. The fact that about 10 candidates will run has certain advantages it permits All Points of View to be expressed and especially during along evening of free time on National network Tele vision studios have shown that nothing restores thei Glit Ter of a party like a lengthy democratic contest involving a half dozen Bacots. Interest is maintained during this period and the party program is exposed on All -.sides. These advantages aside the Multi plication of in t the essential thing the Liber Al party still seeks a top notch candidate who could unite the liberals and stimulate the population. On a hockey team it in t Al ways the team with the super stars that carries off the championship and the Chica go Black Hawks know that very Well. In politics the game is played differently the party Leader today has such Powers that he alone must be counted on to win an election. When the govern ment is beaten Down the Leader bails it out. When the party bubbles with1 dynamism the Leader gets the credit. In the Case of the Liberal party the chances arc slim of finding a scintillating Leader. It s known that the next lib eral Leader risks defeat and becoming the opposition Leader rather than is it necessary to stake everything on the Best Man and Send him to the Slaughter House would to it be better to let tilings carry to choose a temporary Leader and line up another slate of n e w la Picante Jan. 24 be Nouvel Liste trois Rev heres be Nouvel each year the trans port minister spends Large amounts of Money to maintain on the St Lawrence River m a in 1 a to prevent flooding.

The signs Are made of aluminium with a White reflect Tori Zed coating. The letters of a plastic adhesive material Are Black. Alderman Joseph Cropo chairman of the traffic commis Sion told the committee that the big advantage of the new signs was that they would t rust or Peel.

Reject crosswalks port Arthur up City Council and the City s traffic committee have rejected a Coro Ner s jury s recommendation to install crosswalks on All main thoroughfares.

How do you explain the Apa thy. Of our legislators towards this idea of St. Lawrence whiter navigation the answer very simply is tha they Yant to protect maritime ports notably the Purt of Halifax which profit greatly from the closing of Interior ports Dur ing the Winter.
