Bennett's Record Shows He Was Great Premier Mr. W. A. C. Bennett has now moved from the pitiless glare of centre-stage onto the more shadowy stage of political history. How will his role there be assessed in the years to come? There can be no doubt that he quali- fles as the best premier British Columbia has had, by virtually any yardstick. This newspaper has from time to time said Blunt, harsh words about Mr. Bennett as premier, ‘but they never out-weighed the basic, assessment that he has been a great man in his time and place. British Columbia.owes him a tremend- z ous debt. He brought to its affairs courage, drive, imagination and a_ willingness to think big when this was still a rather timid and insecure province. He pushed the frontier north from the Fraser Canyon, and developed the bas- ic substructure on which virtually all future development of B.C, will depend. It is a record of which any man should be proud; it would entitle any premier to consider himself a “great” one. Throughout history men of such domin- ance have usually had flaws to match, Per- haps Mr. Bennett's most obvious one was that his constructive deeds were never mat- ched by his words with more - abstract things. “Thus some minor problems that this rich province had in dealing with federal governments seemed almost to become cause for war by the time he was through with them, sowing seeds of divisiveness, i founded worries hi Prompting that this was separatist country. These things, however, will probably become footnétes in history. The main re- cord will probably show that this will be- come the richest and most satisfying pro- vince to live in, and that he played an en- ormous role in its development. The province whose attitudes he shap- - ed so long is, now changing rapidly, too rapidly for one man in rigid control to cope with. Like much of society, it doesn’t really know where it is heading or what it wants. It knows mainly what it doesn’t want; when” ” it rejects something without a clear vision, it may find it doesn’t want the replacement either, and we shall embark on a period of changes in marked contrast with two de- cades of stability. Premier Dave Barrett is quoted as say- ing: “The day of growth initiative has gone in British Columbia, and as long as we are in power, it will not return. | am not a boomer, there will be no growth for grow- th’s sake.” Mr, Bennett will chuckle when he reads those words. He knows how hard the facts press on such theory, and how diffi- cult it will be for a socialist government to ease off on the pressure to provide more fobs. But mainly he will be entitled to sit back and smile with some contentment. For ha. knows that nobody could even begin to think that way unless he was taking over a province where all the basic material structure of a society had been built, and built well. — Vancouver Province Premier Barreff Following Benneti's Footsteps x While the old premier steps down, the new one begins to take on an uncanny re- semblance to him. In his first formal act as leader of a government, Premier David Barrett has put together what looks remark- ably like a Bennett-style cabinet. For a start, he has kept the finance portfolio to himself. Even in socialist gov- ernments, money spells power, and Mr. Barrett — despite his relative ignorance of financial matters — is keeping that power - to himself. It's a sensible move. Unless he learns to J the fi of the provi he will never really, be able to run his government. There is no better way to learn than to shoulder the responsibility, particularly if along the way Mr. Barrett can use the portfolio to underline the fact that he is in control from the outset. Like his predecessor, Mr. Barrett has . loaded his most enthusiastic cabinet minis- ters with the heaviest responsibilities. Per- haps the most zealous of the former MLAs is Robert Williams, the most ferocious critic of the Social Credit government and big business in the past. He has been given four district departments to manage — lands; forests, water resources and recrea- tion and conservation. Just finding his way around those departments, let alone re- forming them, should keep him busy for months. For the back-benchers, with all their freshman: eagerness, Mr. Barrett holds out “the prospect of future greatness. He has used the Constitution Act as the excuse for keeping his first cabinet small, but has also promised, in effect, that it will be expand- ed next spring at the end of the first full legislative session. That will mean port- folios for three or more of the new MLAs. Finally, just to show that he really does intend to choose among the newcom- ers, Mr. Barrett put one of them into his cabinet at the outset — railwayman Wil- liam King, a relative unknown who won in Revelstoke-Slocan. By doing so, the new premier kept that portfolio — perhaps the one that holds the most potential problems for an NDP government — firmly under his control. He also kept it free from the memory of the political strife in the party's past, much of which revolved around the power of labor in the party. To a considerable degree, Mr. Barrett's actions and statements add up to a declara- tion that his new ministers have nine mon- ths to prove they can handle their new responsibilities, while his backbenchers try fo prove that they're worthy of taking on bigger jobs. That combination may make the 1973 legislative session something of a ‘slaugh- terhouse, with the new and the old fight- ing for more permanent power. But it will be obvious to them that they can only win it by gaining the premier’s approval — a lesson that W. A. C. Bennett too made clear during most of his 20 years of power. — Vancouver Province ance section The regional location engineer is Pat Bonser.
