It Is this alleged "blind spot-in his otherwise broad and bril- : liant mental equipment which a Parliament Hill Liberals blame , for his failure to understand the he- Rmit Central Ontario industr ial area over the failure to accord it Cabinet representation. Mr.: .St. . Laurent believes that the I viewpoint of industry and finance are adequately and ably represented in the Cabinet by the great C. I).

The complaint they utter is similar to the Toronto and Central Ontario grievance in the fact that it is : basically a charge of geographic omission in the Cabinet. Its basis is the fact that at, the present moment the MontrnM area, home of the Quebec Cardinal and in that sense centre ol Roman Catholicism in Quel-.-, has two Protestant Cabmtcrrs ' Messrs. Abbott and riaxion--lul no Roman Catholic represent a tives. Near-by St. John, whrc Postmaster-General Paul Cote sits, is not regarded as part of the Montreal area. Rt. Hon. Mr. St. Laurent Is said to be incapable of seeing the point raised against him. Like all sincerely religious men, he rebels instinctively against the misuse of religion as a political football. And he suspects that something of that order Is Involved In the Montreal unrest.
