Lester B. Pearson is offering the voters he talks to in the opening stages of the federal election campaign. In doing so he is showing courage and, yes, just plain guts.”—Toronto Telegram courageous leadership “Canadian people hunger for things like interna- tional respect, a sound and expanding economy, brave decisions and strong direction at the seat of government. There are impressive indications to- day that these are the things Canadians do feel starved of. Not pie in the sky or pie on a plate but the dignity of a national character that reflects courage and resolve. This is what Liberal leader “Mr. Pearson is following the honest course of not trying to bribe the electorate with promises to spend vast sums of their own money. It takes cour- age, when the highest elective office is within his grasp, to follow that course. That he has the fortitude to do so is evidence he possesses qualities of courageous leadership which the nation sorely needs.’’— Regina Leader-Post team ‘There will be a government, and it must be made up of men of government stature; a team of political leaders and administrators capable of assuming ministerial responsibilities. On this basis, the most complete team seems to be the Liberals. Mr. Pearson has already held an important ministry with success. He is surrounded by a number of men with a feeling for public affairs, realistic ideas and administrative experience.” —Le Devoir Mr. Pearson makesitplain “Mr. Pearson has made it plain that he has no intention of getting down into the gutter with Mr. Douglas or, for that matter, with Mr. Diefenbaker, whose attacks on the Liberal leader have been equally des- picable. But the campaign of mud-slinging goes on. In the end, the result will be a serious loss of respect for the NDP among people who have felt this party stood for honour in politics.”’—Otlawa Citizen “Mr. Pearson mentioned as firston the list of Liberal welfare priorities theestablishment ofa contributory pension plan for Canadians. Then would come a national health plan; but first the economy must be ex- panded to the point where the nat- jonal economy could pay for such measures without going further into debt. We added that the gov- ernment should spend not a nickel on anything that would not in- crease production andreduceunem- ployment.” — Winnipeg I'ree Press “Once upon a time it was com- mon to accuse politicians of talk- | ing one way in Quebec and the other way in English Canada. It is noteworthy that Liberal leader Pearson has left Quebecin no doubt as to his nuclear weap- ons stand,” — Vancouver Sun , IT’S TIME FOR ACTION : Pullivhod by the Uatlonat Liberal Fodaration VOTE LIBERAL In Skeena Vote for John Magor_.
