The strongest reaction came from Montreal where Bernard Rheaume, president of the Montreal council of the young PCs, said "'it's time to change the party's Quebec leader and not the one in Ottawa." "We need a Conservative or- ganization in Quebec that will LEON BALCER join in the other provinces in strengthening the party nation- ally," said Mr. Rheaume, who is also vice-president of the Quebec province senior PCs. However, Mr. Balcer ob- tained support from Quebec in a statement by Claude Harari, vice-president, of both the Mont- real and proyincial young PCs. Mr. Harari called for the ouster of Mr. Diefenbaker as national party leader and the restoration of Mr. Balcer "to his honorable place in the Con- servative party." Mr. Rheaume said Mr. Ha- rari's statement was not on be- half of the Montreal council. In Nova Scotia, George Now- lan, finance minister in the last Conservative government, said "Mr. Diefenbaker is leader of the party now, and there is no vacancy at the moment." He did not elaborate. Campbell McLean, president of the PC Association of Mani- toba, said he "doubts a request by 10 members would force the party to hold a convention." Martin Pederson, only Con- servative member in the Sas- katchewan legislature and pro- vincial. party organizer, and Louis: Brand, president of the Saskatchewan PC Association, agreed that Mr, Balcer has set far too high a price--"a price that we are certain will not be met." Mr. Pederson said it was highly improper of Mr. Balcer to make such a suggestion--"to put a price for remaining in the party a leadership convention." Dr. J. J. Porter, president of the Albert Progressive Con- servatiye Association, said it would be a most unsuitable time to call a leadership con- vention. "We have full confidence in Mr. Diefenbaker," he said. ". . . We feel there should be concessions on both sides be- cause we do not wish to lose our representation in Quebec." Dr. Porter said Mr. Balcer is a strong influence in Quebec and his support is essential to retain the party's representa- tion in that province. W. A. McLennan, president of the British Columbia PC As- sociation, said he is surprised at Mr. Balcer's demand for a party leadership convention. He ... BALCER PRICE HELD "FAR TOO HIGH" DAVIE FULTON said he does not expect Mr, Balcer to bolt the, party. Davie Fulton, leader of the B.C. Progressive Conservative party, said 'Mr. Balcer has put it to the national executive and it is not going to help for indi- viduals to comment. I hope that when the decision is taken at the national executive level, it will be such as to restore unity in the party." Raymond O'Hurley, defence production minister in the for- mer Diefenbaker government, said the "crisis" within the PC party could be "cured by a change of leader." He said in an interview in Quebec that he hopes the party executive will tackle the problem and settle it as quickly as possible. Senator Jacques Flynn, Mines and technical surveys minister in the former Diefen- baker cabinet, said he hopes "the Balcer affair will open the eyes of members in the other provinces." In. Saskatoon, Robert Thom- son, ational 'Social Credit party leader, said the decision: by the Quebec MPs 'indicate "some members of. the Con- servative party have the cour- age of their convictions." He said in an interview, how- ever, that he believes the *'na- tional Conservative hierarchy"* will turn down the request. Creditiste Leader Real Ca- ouette said the Conservative party in Quebec "'doesn't know which way to turn." "The people of Quebec have no confidence now in the Pro- gressive Conservative," he said.

"First they want to bolt the party. Now they want to haggle, do some horse- trading," Mr. Starr told The Times. "This is very selfish on the part of Mr. Balcer and the others.

Flanked by his nine col- leagues, Quebec leader Leon Balcer told a press conference the group is asking national president .Dalton K.

Mr, Balcer, 47-year-old law- yer from Trois Rivieres riding, said about four weeks ago he was ering quitting the party.

Mrs. Rivard said Mr. Daoust did not give her the telephone number of Montreal lawyer Pierre Lamontagne at Chicout- imi, Que., where he was on hol- idays. She said she didn't tell Mr. Daoust that bail had been ar- ranged for her husband. There had been no mention of Mr. La- montagne. keeper at her husband's resort. She did not have any idea when she had returned this money, because she was 'so anxious" to give it back 'Will Continue are forced to send forces to Ma- laysia." He said psychologically this was part of the whole Malay- sian problem. In answer to another question he said Indonesia is prepared to meet Malaysia and Britain im- mediately, without precondi- tions, to try to find a solution to the peaceful settlement of the Malaysian - Indonesian dis- pute. Asked if he thought the con- tinual armed Indonesian attacks on Malaysia might lead to war, he said: "We know that. We are trying to limit that." READY FOR PEACE Earlier he said: "We want to solve this question peacefully to solve.' It was a matter of psychology and trust in each other, he said, and added that the entry of Ma- laysia in the Southeast Pacific area had not been sufficiently prepared. Subandrio acknowledged the buildup of 'Indonesian forces along the border with Malaysia, but said: "We are not prepar- ing ourselves for war.
