Excepting a number of outstanding individual performances the premiere edition of the ice show in waxed less than sensational. A Chimpanzee named Spanky stole the show with a perform France on skates that rivalled Jat of some of the chorus line r which was at least Amateur ish in its timing and presenta Tion. Skaters Guy Revell and Ger Trude Desjardins reached the audience with two outstanding displays on the Blades. Comic Terry. Head was not entirely his skating stunts and his professionalism and presence on the ice were full of value for the applause he received and probably the High spot of the program. Some of the hollow ground choreography was outstanding particularly the High Button shoes routine which used a movie screen at the end of the ice for one of Uriost exciting displays seen on or off the ice in years. The precision and Faming shown by the skaters during the routine vastly overshadowed the blandness of the act itself the artists dashed in and out of the screen action with a smoothness that had to be seen to be believed. Technical effects and costuming in this edition of ice Capanes Are probably As Good As troupe could manage. Television screens they did t work tuesday and highly professional lighting consoles combined to present dramatic results of a Broadway production. Comedy in this year s ice Capanes is seriously lacking. Vic Zoble did a.

Their Lack of smooth timing overdose of errors and shortage of stage presentation soured the audience for tie better things to come. Ice Capanes runs until Sun Day. Some aspects will have to improve in a week. To Eye shaping continued meet guiding its assessment of the conference according to its to the various speak ers around the confederation table. This has produced some cur ious results Daniel Johnson who has never been tougher in what he is demanding has generated a great Deal of sympathy he simply does t look or behave like a Man who would break up Canada. The image he projects is that of a thoughtful politician anxious to please troubled that he As always being misunderstood. Although his demands if implemented would result in a divided Canada his1 conduct seems to imply that the whole thing is a semantic min under standing and that he s really a much maligned Patriot.

It s ironic that in these final few weeks of his Steward ship the country has at last been Given a Chance to observe him in the kind of environment in which he he knows exactly when an appropriate quip or the Call for a Coffee break will Drain the tension out of potentially explosive confrontation. He is the eternal Diplomat producing order out of chaos and future possibilities out of confusion. On sight Ike Smith the new Nova Scotia Premier is so restrained As to make Robert Stanfield. Look like a personality kid.

He seems to be making Gargantuan efforts to be pleasant and his acceptance of the b and b commission s main recommendations was a Gallant gesture. Yet there remains a sense of Reserve about his commitment and you feel that he would be spending his time. More profitably drumming up business for his province. Alex Campbell of. , is the Young statesman of this con Ference. Here is a Man who has nothing to Gam and Little to lose from the subjects under discus Sion. But he has risen above the parochial concerns of his prov Ince that his vision is wide enough to make him an important new father of Canada s re confederation.

He acknowledged the value of such programs As Arda Fred funds for Rural economic develop ment and tile Nelson River development but added i am not speaking i a spirit of complaint but Only to suggest the need for better co ordination and in some of these pro Grams he noted that certain Side effects had occurred which had been unforeseen and in some respects less than favourable. He under lined the need for greater planning and More efficient machinery to carry out these efforts at regional development. Noted that such prov inces As Quebec new Brunswick Nova Scotia and Newfoundland had continuously underlined the problems of regional Dis parity at the conference. It is Manitoba s. View that economic development is a Factor which ranks equally with constitutional and language matters in importance for National Quebec allies at Odds continued to or. Johnson it is a secondary matter. Tuesday morning he referred to it As an the major concern of the Quebec government is Progress to War the enlarged Powers of the True National state that was a Union National election Promise. But the aspirin of bilingualism would help Cool the currently feverish climate in Quebec enable or. John son s government to Post showdown until it is better to win it and allow or. Johnson to carry a trophy Home from Ottawa. The Snag for or. John son in bilingualism in the Long run it under mines his argument that Quebec must have special Powers As the Only govern ment that French canadians can Trust. It gives the Federal government an even break in its contest with the provincial government for the interest and support of. Quebec s population. These two conflicting sides of bilingualism left or. Johnson Little room to manoeuvre at this Confer ence. And he 4 was further hemmed in by the impression he had at the confederation of tomorrow conference in Toronto last november. In Toronto he heaviest emphasis to to the extent that Many of his delegation were unhappy and that Quebec officials Felt it necessary to insist to reporters afterwards that language rights in other provinces were Only a secondary goal for Quebec. Tactical reason for this emphasis on bilingual ism was simple. It was the Lone Issue on which a majority of other provinces were manifestly in sympathy with Quebec. Stressing it was the one Way to create the impression that Quebec was gain ing allies for the Day when. Would have a Constitution Al showdown with Ottawa an. Impression that or Johnson and his had been cultivating earn Estly All through the sum Mer and fall of 1967. Cramped As he was or Johnson was making the most of the cards he had when the first Day of the current conference ended monday afternoon. He had said before the conference that division of Powers was the primary Issue and language rights secondary in comparison. But in talking to reporters in the corridor late monday he gave the heaviest stress to the encouraging Progress toward bilingualism Wasi far however from going along with the Trudeau View that bilingual ism was an alternative to More Power for Quebec. To or. Johnson the most encouraging thing about the Progress toward bilingual ism was that it seemed to offer Hope of Progress to Ward the constitutional aim Quebec considered of much greater importance a new division of Powers. The Best thing Bird in the hand was that it would Lead to the two in the Bush. The Fly in this. Ointment was the monday afternoon performance of Premier Joey Smallwood of Newfoundland. Or. Smallwood had been enthusiastically in favor of bilingualism but he had attacked Quebec s claim to special status with a in cruder form Many of the argue Man held after car gun Battle f continued ments often heard from or. Trudeau. Or Johnson could not return to Quebec appearing to have accepted the sit Ion that bilingualism was an alternative to More Powers for Quebec. Or. Smallwood had plunked the. Strategic conflict Between or. Trudeau and himself into the Centre of the conference Horseshoe and nobody could go on pretending to ignore it. Tuesday morning or. Johnson moved to protect his strategic position by counter attacking in reply to or. Sati word s use of the main Trudeau arguments against special status. That brought or. Trudeau to position in Quebec which in turn gave or. Johnson an opening for one of the biggest weapons in his Arsenal the argument that the provinces Are More sympathetic to Quebec s bairns than the Federal spokesman is. It was the familiar sound of that big gun that brought or. Trudeau Back for a second charge against the Johnson position the clash was Funda mentally an engagement Between two quebecois its style and tone would have fitted comfortably into a debate in the Quebec legis lature in one of the Good tempered moods of that House or. Trudeau s refer ence to or Johnson As an irishman and or Johnson s reference to or. Trudeau As the member for mount Royal were both family jokes that came off badly outside Quebec. At the moment or tru Deau and or Johnson Are the most prominent spokes men Lor the two Maui and conflicting schools of thought in Quebec the federalist and. The proponent of the Quebec National state. Politics Sharpen the Divi Sion Between then. If or. Trudeau were to become Liberal Leader and Catry Quebec in the next Federal election it would amount to a major defeat for the nationalist position which or. Johnson defends and which claims to have the near unanimous support of Quebec s population. Ste. Anne policeman Arthur Fiola got touch with the ramp at Ste Ribach and Road blocks were set up throughout Eastern Manitoba greater Winnipeg police forces were also alerted.

The showdown Over Divi Sion of Powers is for later on.
