OTTAWA (©) —A set of un-

expected, precedent-creating cir-
cumstances including a mass ab-
stention by the New Democrats
combined to save the minority
Liberal government from defeat
in a Commons vote Monday
night.
Defeated 113 to 73 was a Con-
servative non-confidence motion,
moved last week, condemning Mr.
Gordon for failure to maintain
budget secrecy.

Besides the en bloc abstention
by, thte 13. NDP members then in
the chamber, other factors in the
roli-call were 10 Sccial Credit
votes in support of the govern-
mefit and the number of empty
seats. So many MPs were absent
ou the opposition side of the
House that Prime Minister Pear-
son’s government didn’t need, as
it éurned out, any of the other
help.

EXPLAINS DILEMMA

NDP Leader Douglas explained
his party’s position.as a dilemma.

He was sharply critical of the
budget and Mr. Gordon’s hand-
ling of it and said'-NDP -mem-
bers favored the Conservative
mbtion.

But on the other hand, Mr.
Douglas said, the NDP promised
during the election campaign to
support any minority govern-

‘ment for “a reasonable period of
‘time’. For the Liberal, the NDP
‘felt the time wasn’t up. Hence
the decision not to move.

But precedent was set when
the NDP members stayed in
their seats, instead of slipping
behind the green curtain of
the Commons chamber,
Opposition Leader Diefenbaker
said any member in his seat can
be challenged to vote. He quoted
'Canadian procedure dating back
to 1879.

| Speaker Alan MacNaughton
ruled in effect that times have
changed. He quoted a 1945 Spea-
Ker’s ruling that reversed the
tradition, and concluded that-he
had no power to demand a vote
from the New Democrats.
MAKES HISTORY

It was the first time in Can-
adian parliamentary history that
a party abstained en bloc.

‘Later, it was learned that the
NDP caucus had split on the
question. H. W. Herridge (Koot-
enay West), dean of the sitting
New Democrats, told reporters
later:

|” “This is the first time, to my

knowledge, that the group has
refused to take a stand because
it considers it in the national
interest.”
