Democrat as member to / Ottawa, ‘In addition, Mr. Douglas had certain other advantages, be- ing: nationally known and highly. respected as well as being an outstanding speaker and a sea- ’ soned campaigner. On. the other. hand, nothing in an election is. certain as the voters up in Edmonton proved, ‘and Tommy Douglas did have the big disadvantage of being an outsider coming into an area and opposing a popular local man, ", However, he overcame this dis-__ advantage and didin fact increase uothe New..Democrat vote by sev~ eral thousand, In part this is probably an- indication. that. Trudeau mania is beginning to wear a bit thin, and. in its place is coming the " first shadéw of disillusionment. Partly this “is the fauit of the “public. which every now and again gets completely . swept ‘off its feet by some emerging political personality.. When such a per- sonality comes along, a Diefen- baker or a. Trudeau, the “public gives its adoration and votes, and then sits back, ‘confident that it- now has a miracle. working super leader who will promptly solve their problems. When this Last. week was ‘certainly ine “what “with © ‘ment; ’ few years ago. = However; if disillusionment is partly ‘the public’s fault, it is also -partly that of Mr. Trudeau. He “is certainly “an “oustanding “man, ‘cultured, intelligent, witty and. fluent, possessing many.of the attributes that: may “make him a great Prime Minister, yet in the eight months that he has been in: office he has un- fortunately, performed very little. | Now the idea of re- examining and re-assessing. all our problems is meritorious but. while’ the. Prime Minister and his advisers are deep in this contemplation, . these -problems don’t go away. but get bigger. and bigger and the public tends” to becoine more and more im- ‘patient about the lack of action. Ofcourse one shouldn’t try to read:too much -into the re- sults: from Nanaimo, Cowichan and. The Islands... Undoubtedly, - Mr. Trudeau’ still has great ap- peal and very considerable back- ing from the Canadian people; but-I think it can-be taken as a gentle hint to him that while we are all in favour of re-exam- ination and re-appraisal of old positions, of seeking concensus © of opinions and .of- encouraging meaningful dialogue, we don’t ‘want these fine sounding words - and. concepts ‘to: become-a sub- ‘stitute for forward action.
