What Country Wanted’ Was a Gov't. It cannot be truthfully said that the country wanted an election at the present time. What it: wanted was a government and a budget. It has neither now. and will have to wait’ until the voters decide what party is to assume power. Almost the only issue on- which the government can go to the polls is the matter of U.S, intrusion into Canadian politics. This was a strong issue in the past, but it is. questionable’ whether an election can nowy, be; won on that point alone. Some Canadi: may be about the inept way in which the US. State Department’ has assumed, ‘the right ‘them what -their! foreign | and ‘de- ce policies should ‘be, “but most of them recognize that, for better or worse, Canada’s: defence policy is tied” to that of the U.S. An antt-U.S. policy would ‘not attract votes from: the mass. of undecided elec- tors who will now decide the political complexion of the next government. At best, it might drive the Liberals into sup- porting U.S. political interference and thus alienate some possible votes from that'party; but surely the Liberals have the political astuteness to avoid such a trap. Virtually’ nothing has been accom- plished by parli: since the of last June, and the government must assume its share of responsibility for the inaction. It is true that there has been some obstruction of the government by the op- position parties, but, with Social Credit support, the government had it in its power to introduce and carry the es- sential legislation desired by the country.
