The Oshawa Times " VOL. 92--NO. 149 OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1963 Pr ga ig gd py onfidence Vote Won By Liberals OTTAWA (CP)--A set of un- expected, precedent - creating circumstances including a mass abstention by the New Demo- crats combined to save the mi- mority Liberal government from defeat in a Commons vote Mon- day night. In the process Finance Minis- ter Gordon also was spared the personal censure of the Com- mons for his budget handling. Defeated 113 to 73 was a Con- servative non - confidence mo- tion, moved last week, con- demning Mr. Gordon for failure to maintain budget secrecy and slapping the budget itself on several counts, including an al- leged deterioration im Canada's international relations. Besides the en bloc abstention by the 13 NDP members then in the chamber, other factors and a degree of MP absenteeism that was surprising in a bud- get debate which has struck out a note of crisis. MANY SEATS EMPTY Biggest single factor was the number of empty seats. These were so heavily concentrated on the opposition side of the House that Prime Minister Pearson's government didn't need, as it turned out, any of the other help. Nineteen MPs were "paired"' --the deals members make not to vote, in case one is absent. The odd number resulted from the comic situation in which two Liberals, each apparently un- aware of what the other was doing, 'paired' with O. W. Wei- chel (PC--Waterloo North). Besides the nine Conserva- tives paired, 13 were absent. Of the 23 Social Credit MPs, only 10 were in the House to vote against the motion. Their ranks were thinned by Quebec's St. Jean Baptiste holiday. NDP Leader T. C. Douglas responsibility for the secrecy in which the budget was prepared. Key issue was his hiring of three Toronto men as tempor- ary budget advisers -- David Stanley, Martin O'Connell and Geoffrey Conway. Mr. Douglas called these men "the three budgeteers."" Mr. Gordon said he deplores what he called the insinuations, innuendoes and slanders against the three 'special consultants." He added that he has com- plete confidence in their integ- rity. Like all concerned with bud- get work, they took an oath of secrecy, he said. "Did they keep it?" asked an sition MP. yes they did,"" said the min- ister.

But now the Conservatives were claiming a conflict of imterest over the use of three men as budget advisers.

This has always been the rule, he said. He quoted Canadian procedure dating back to 1879. Speaker Alan Macnaughton ruled in effect that times have changed. He quoted a 1945 Speaker's ruling that reversed the tradition, and concluded that he had no power to demand a vote from the New Democrats. It was the first time in Cana- dian 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 sas refused to take a stand because it considers it in the national interest."

Kennedy argued that "a gen- eration of achievement" mir- rored in the Marshall Plan, NATO, the Schuman Plan and the Common Market 'urges us up the path of greater unity." "As one step for unity he em- phasized the U.S. proposal for the creation of a multi-national fleet of surface ships armed with nuclear - tipped Polaris missiles. "Such a force would bring strength instead of weakness, cohesion instead of division. It would belong to all members, not one, with all participating on a basis of full equality. And as Europe moves towards un- ity, its role and responsibility, here as elsewhere, would and must imcrease accordingly."
