Conservatives Consider Party Policy

Reading the stories with
the single-column headlines in
the inside ‘pages of the news-
papers over. these past weeks,
one discovers that the’ Progres-
sive Conservative ‘party, and
their leatership candidates
particular, have given a lot e
thougne 't to party policy.

One wae the great eee since
Diefenbaker took over the lead-
‘ership, or more particularly
since he was elected prime min-

ister, has been in the area of! th

clearly defined policies, and
programs based on those policies,
The most persistent criti-
cism of the Chief has been that
he equated personal triumph
with party success. So, while he
watched carefully to see wheth-
er his own star was waxing or
waning, his party’s image ebbed
ever lower in ‘public esteem.

tumble of the fight for the lea-

dership ‘has held the headlines,

candidates and the policy dis-
cussions at the convention may,
in the long run, have'a more

ting influence on the party's
future.

One policy item that was
destined to grab the headlines,
of course, was the decision to
adopt the two-nation concept of
Canada, Mr. Diefenbaker, al-
‘ways a one-Canada man, fought
the move vigorously and must
have been startled to find that
he had an ally in Justice Min-
ister Trudeeu. It must have
been one of a very few occas-
ions when these two, who taunt
each other across the floor of
the Commons, found themselves
on common ground.

While the convention dele-
gates in Toronto were pushing.
through the two-Canada resol-
ution against the Chief’s oppo-
istion, Mr. Trudeau was telling

As it happens, these things

th There are two reasons for

The first of these is that
newspapers deal with a vastly

therefore suffer from the law
