But normal inter-party com- munications have been su- spended for this free vote. It re- sulted in rampant disorganiza- tion, as one abolitionist MP termed it, during Monday night's first vote of the debate. The capital punishment reso- lution, which abolitionist MPs figure won't be passed as it is written, would substitute a life sentence for the death. penalty in case of capital--planned and deliberate -- murder. It would make the federal cabinet ap- prove any parole of a person convicted of capital murder. The abolitionists saw an op- portunity for compromise last week when Charies - Arthur Gauthier (Creditiste -- Rober- val) proposed an amendment to retain the death penalty only for persons committing capital murder while under a life sent- ence. BETTER THAN LOSING The abolitionist leaders viewed the amendment as an opportunity to tip the voting balance in their favor. They sent out word to abolitionists that this was much better than losing the final vote tonight. But afier the Commons--bells began ringing at 8 p.m. Mon- day to summon MPs for the vote on the amendment, inform- ants said it became apparent that many Liberal party aboli- tionists wanted to go for broke. Abolitionists from Liberal, Conservative and New Demo- crat parties gathered in confer- ence in the centre of the Com- mons like a football team hud- died on third down. But without effective chan- nels of communication, many abolitionists never got the word. Some of theii--tike some reten- tionists--are unknown to organ- izers. In the 199-to-23 vote de- feating the amendment, several abolitionist MPs voted contrary to their cohorts. The 11th-hour confusion over the signal switch was apparent when voting started on the Lib- eral 'side of the 'Commons. Three ministers voted for the amendment prhile the others-- many of them favoring abolition --voted against. CREATE CONFUSION Informants say this voting pattern either confused aboli- tionists or caused them to switch their votes. Best example was the NDP, whose members all favor out- right abo!' ion. Some voted THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 5, 1966 7 | others stuck by a caucus decis- ion to support it. Pierre Elliott Trudeau, an abolitionist and parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Pearson, supported the amend- went He 3 2id---attervarte: "This yiew was popular only an hour before the vote."' Some MPs, ~-persuaded..that pport of the a d it rep- resented the best chance of pushing through modified aboli- tion, were worried. "It's almost certain the main motion will be defeated," said Reid Scott (NDP--Toronto Dan- forth). . cosuaisuc agolitionists were/f. assured by some of their allies that another amendment -- to wipe out the death penalty fer a five-year trial period--stands a better chance of success when the final vote comes at 9:30 P-td. tamgues Opposition Leader Dieien- baker supported such a trial period when he advocated out-\;- right abolition earlier in the day and two New Democratic MPs supported this proposal later.
