Cetainly, we shall face many problenis as we grow but we can now hold aur heads high as we acknow- ledge the new respect the world must have for Canada. We have the capacify, the resour- ces and the people who can make this an even greafer nation. Ail thaf is ne- quired is the will, the enterprise and the persîstence ta follow through an whaf bas been sfarted this year.

Mr. Roblin wilh have ta make- his decision within the nexf week or two ofherwise.the pres- ent runners wili have fao greàt a head start. If Premier Roblin decides to stay in Winnipeg Dalton Camp will prob-. ably feel that if is bis duty ta save the party from whaf he conceives ta be the mediocnicy of the present contest- ants. If Camp cornes in fa the race the faf will be in the fine. The bifterness between the Camp and Diefenibaker farces is aimost un- believable. One could neyer identify them as being in the sanie parfy. Dief- enibaker ioyalîsts make na atfempt ta bide their contempt for the mari who led the inten-party rebellion hast Octo- ber which bumiliafed the Chief. If Dalton Camp enters the race, if will insure Mn. Diefenbaker's partici- pation as a candidate fa succeed hini- self. The former Prime Minister led the Canservative Party ta its greaf est electonal triumph. He moved if froni the public image ai a right wirig Bay Street party fa what the Chief believ- es is the party ai the ittie mari, and he is nof gaing fa sit idly by and see if handed over fa a slick adverfising executive who represents everything that Diefenibaker bas challenged ahl bis lufe. Such a confrontation- would be bitter and bloody --if wouhd cause an irreparable rift in the Canservative Party. The victinis would be that Party anid Canada. The anly beneficiary would be the NDP.
