Within j NJ0T oven the announcement itself that the rlry- I N dock was to be sold had the explosive effect ; of the local Liberal association's resolution Friday ; demanding that the federal government change its ' i attitude?. " . Mich a, move was far more, than just a pro ; test against the government's action. It was a des- perate warning from within . the Liberals own j ranks that the party was failing to keep faith with ! its historic 'principles of building a Canada that is . strong in every nail. It was a reminder that down ; through the ytit's the Liberal party has proclaimed ; itself as reprwntativo of the people, not of sec-' tional interests. Where private enterprise fails to . meet those people's needs, the party traditionally is supposed Jo extend its strong hand. I In pursuance of its policy to reach to the out- "wont fringes of the country, the federal govern-. merit recently established a department specific-; ally responsible: for the development of Canada's I northland. To jutige from our experiences here, I however, the northland must skirt around B.O.'s "wst northerly port. Perhaps itapnjies only to the J Aretie Circle which was examined a short while a by Defence Minister Claxtoif. If the drydock : vv'ere ' Aklavik or some such place, it might earn J more respect than it does in its present position. ; As a result of its handling of this affair, the : federal government should be advised that being a Liberal out here at the present moment is some-; thing like being. a case of measles.
