Cowan had worn out his Wel come and would not be invited under any circumstances to attend another caucus. The member from York Humber or York Humbug As disgruntled liberals Call him was advised of the meeting but did not attend. Or. Honey sent him a letter telling him of the caucus decision and copies were also forwarded to or. Cowan s rid ing association National Liberal federation president senator John Nichol and or. Pearson. The movie results from a Long series of outbursts from or. Cowan which have sent a collective shudder through Liberal ranks. One of his prime targets has been or. Pearson personally but he has directed pot shots at several Cabinet ministers with a vigor which equals and often excels that of the most partisan opposition critic. Opposing or. Sharp s tax Bill was the final Straw. When or. Cowan was in formed of the decision his initial reaction was a cryptic Jesus Christ that s really he would not comment at length but promised a full statement monday. But he sharply challenged any suggestion that he would not be eligible to attend the leadership convention and vote. I am already registered As Delegate he said. I May not be a member of the Liberal caucus but i am still a Liberal member of Parlia i or. Cowan added that he was t bothered in the slightest by the caucus decision and maintained he was still a True Liberal. A possible fracas could develop Over his convention credentials. Sen.

J Fay an Anglo Irish journalist whose writings celebrated the heyday of Dublin s theatrical world was a Well known Colum nist and reviewer whose love of the theatre was reflected in j Many books. The scene of Kennedy s news conference was the historic Cau Cus room of the old Senate of fice building where John f. Kennedy announced his candidacy Jan. 2, 1960. But the setting was drastically different. The 42-year-old former attorney general begins his quest under enormous handicaps he is seeking to dislodge an incumbent president. He is a step behind another democratic dissident senator Eugene j. Mccarthy of Minnesota who made a impressive showing in the new Hampshire primary. His Early surroundings have indicated Strong opposition to his plunge from Many democratic leaders who fear a party Cleav age that could hand the presidency to the Republican candidate in november. Kennedy made his decision late thursday. The decision came after lengthy secret conferences with his of whom were in on the John Kennedy strategy sessions in 1960. Firmly on his Side from the beginning was his wife Ethel. Urging that the political Reali ties dictated against his running was one of John Kennedy s Clos est associates Theodore c. Sor Ensen. Ambivalent was his brother senator Edward m. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Once the decision was made however it was Clear to Kennedy he would go the whole route popular support in the state primaries As his brother did and attempting to Corral convention delegates in state president Johnson s course in the Vietnam War it is under stood will be the key Issue in Kennedy s Campaign. He is expected to speak in specific terms As he Calls for alternatives urging As before a gradual de escalation of Mili tary Force to the Point where negotiations can be held and Al lowing for a coalition govern ment including representatives of the Viet Cong. He has told friends the key Tammy representing the society for crippled children and adults paid a visit to the Manitoba legislature Friday where she met nip Leader a. R. Russ Paulley left and Liberal Leader Gil molar. Keep Calm Sharp continued and services which was characteristic of the great depression but continuing Strong demand. The problem now is to decide priorities and decide what things must be done first while others Are delayed. This has to internationally we that we did not have in those the International monetary i fund and the Central Bank co there were then or the internal operation among Many coun he said. Moreover tries gave the world More Sta have tech Bilitz than it had in the late in. Done he added to avoid straining the world s resources. Canada will not be represented at this weekend s meet ing of the International Gold Pool countries in Washington since it is not a member of the Pool. Or. Sharp said there Are other As the coun cil of the International Mone tary fund of which Canada is a which c a n a d a s views can be aired if need be. He would t Rule out the need for a meeting but said he would t be Likely to take the initiative in calling one. With an Eye to the leadership race and some of the pledges made by other candidates or. Issue is can be done for Sharp Jaid with a Laugn a Don t think any initiative taken solely to Advance my own cause would do my own cause much the Gold Pool countries Are those major Powers that Are not producers or exporters of Gold i but use Gold As a basis for their monetary system. Canada is a producer of about Fine ounces of Gold a year. Or. Sharp told reporters i expect a change in policy will be made in Washington. I Don t think the present policy will continue. There Are As i see it just two possibilities. The group May decide to continue supplying Gold at s35 an ounce for All who want to buy it. Alternatively the group May Stop supplying pressed for his views or. Sharp said he did believe a change will be announced and the change will be to the two Price system. He did not know How it would ready or not Here i come for dealing with liquidity j 1920s. A reporter asked highest Hopes dashed continued the government s decision to meet the crisis by a harsh wage Price freeze rather than devaluation was taken Over or. Brown s outraged protests and he came close to leaving the government at that time. As his multiplied increasingly frustrations or. Brown have has let his impulsive or. Sharp How canadians should protect themselves i current Circum stances. Act he said. It is very important that you do just what you normally would do. The Best thing tha people can do under these circumstances is not go get excited. Most of the problems o the moment Are one reporter asked what or. Sharp s views were on establish ing an Atlantic free Trade area if a two Price Gold system is established i or. Sharp said he did not see a connection Between the two. He restated his View on a free Trade area which is that free Trade Between Canada and the United states alone would not be helpful to Canada but a at a moment when sure noted direction is most needed. The new situation has made Ess palatable the often heard argument of a great Many Small a liberals that the leadership should be Given to aul Martin As a Reward for Ong service on a kind of caretaker basis so that even if be s Defeated in an election the arty would have time to refurbish itself. Now the time option has disappeared both for the party ind for the country. The next six pre election months won t be i time when the Leader can dig n. And consolidate his Power. He must take office with great personal authority and carry with him the Confidence inspiring Promise of a Long future. In other circumstances Mit Chell Sharp would be the natural inheritor of any crisis requiring economic competence. But his reputation has been so badly mauled by the events of the past few weeks that he needs a Miracle to get Back into serious Contention. Robert Winters might be another Benefactor of the cur crisis but neither his political or fiscal skills have yet been tested and his record in Ottawa betrays no willingness to Pioneer daring solutions to difficult problems. Eric Kierans who seems like a Man machine tooled for the occasion he is both a competent economist and a Tough politician has yet to prove that he can Muster the Delegate s try nth needed to be a Winner. Still whoever wins would be foolish indeed not to name or. Kierans to a senior portfolio on the Day he swears in his Cabinet although the currency crisis is the most critical problem facing the Canadian govern ment Otheir equally significant issues will require immediate attention from the new prime minister. He will have to set the limits to the continuing Federal provincial negotiations on the Constitution. The North american air defence command Norad agreement expires on May 12 1968 and Canada will have to decide whether it should be renewed and on what terms. At the same time Parlia ment s legislative program is so far behind that even the legis lation now on the commons order paper would take at Leas a year to Clear up. At a press conference on aug. 15, 1967 Lester Pearson declared 4c Leader May face crisis continued nature run away with him and last autumn this culminated in an ugly slanging match with the press. From that Point his Days As foreign Secretary seemed numbered. Though his name was less in the headlines after novembers devaluation the deterioration in his position continued apace. He Seldom seemed in tune with prime minister Harold Wilson during the Long Cabinet debates Over cutbacks in social services and defence and the Content of the budget which will be brought in next tuesday. Grow ing pressure for a repetition of the 1966 wage Price freeze has put him completely on the defensive and it was pretty clearly this which brought him to the Brink of resignation. What apparently pushed him wider free Trade area is Worth examining. Tax hike seen by Miller eco Unity urged continued Paris a France s for eign minister has urged the Sis european common Market nations to act together in the International Money crisis. Foreign m in i s t e r Maurice Couve de Murville spoke Friday night on the eve of an International conference on the crisis to which four of the six com Mon Market no been invited. A european monetary uni might be a Long term objective he told a student meeting a Nancy but meanwhile it j More important for the is countries to come to an agree i ment and follow the same policy i toward the outside essential Bills would have to e passed in the current session and the list has hardly Een touched. J vital decisions Are pending in most every government department. The Gabon affair was he forerunner of some unprecedented a fed unpleasant future problems in Canada s external relations. Despite the enormity of these and other issues the leadership candidates continue to slip away rom Ottawa during the even nos and on weekends to con Niue their Roundup of potential delegates. At the moment Pierre Trudeau seems to be slightly ahead with or. Martin second. The entry of or. Winters so a has attracted More attention Han delegates. One of the main problems is that the prime minister won t accept his Resig nation setting him free to attack the government s fiscal or Winters desperately wants an Early release but or. Sharp advised the prime minis or that the resignation of a Rade and Commerce minister highly regarded in the inter National financial Community at his precarious moment might Larm Canada s position on world Money markets. At the same time or. Winters has not been Able to sweep the maritime Dele a Jons As he had hoped. offset a Winters surge in he East Allan Maceachen paid Rush visits to the four provincial readers in the Atlantic Provin Ces. He made the telling Point hat no matter who wins the convention he would remain the maritime main representative in the new Cabinet and that he could not present their Case very forcefully unless he made a respectable showing at the convention. In p.e.i., Nova Scotia Anc new Brunswick this Point of View carried a lot of weight and or. Maceachen is now expected to go into the Conven Tion with something like 200 delegates. The situation in Quebec Mains confused. One surprising development is the expected declaration next week of Llaurice Sauve in support of or. Martin. Although he was he first and most outspoken of Jie Quebec reformers in j the Pearson Cabinet or.

Sauve s decision not to. Sack or. Trudeau although he helped recruit him into the Liberal party i 1965, is based on his conviction that this is the wrong time for the country to have a prime minister from Quebec. He feels that the concessions which will have to be made to French Canada will have a better Chance of gaining acceptance outside if they Are championed by an English Canadian prime minis Ter.

It probably would mean they could sell new Gold at a Price higher than an ounce when it goes into commercial Chan Nels. There was an open Market for Gold alongside the official Market from about 1948 to about 1956, or. Sharp said. He said it is obviously bet Ter to have a single Price for Gold but a system can function.
