the limit Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayfllld Strut Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher William Teller General Manager McPhanon Managing Editor THURSDAY JANUARY X5 PAGE Wlidt Sbrt or Man Will New Liberal it is iessthan three months until the Liberals will choose new leader and in the process new prime minister of Canada What sort of man will he be How close will he come to matching Prime Minister Pearsonsideas of the type of person who should lead this country asks The NewsChronicle of Port Arthur lllr Pearson has made it quite plain that he does not intend to support any candidate for the leadership but in one of his yearend interviews he gave his inion on the qualities of leadership at would be most important for Can ada in the years to come He numbered high among them the need to recognize the nature of our country and to act on the recognition In other words he said jour unity has to be based on diversity And any leader who doesnt understand that will not be successful in this country Now this means an ability to reconcile oppos ing points of view to balance one region against another This requires of course not only strength but diplomacy and above all patience Mr Pearson who will be retiring at 70 says youth is very important to lead ership because youth means energy the editorial continues Headded however that some people have youth when theyre elderly and some people dont have it when theyre young In other words he feels that youth can be mea sured by what aperson can give to the ob instead of merely how many years ave passed since he was born According to the interview one thing Mr Pearson doesnt believe in is ruth lessness You dont have to be ruthless to be strong its far better to get your way by an exercise of strengt doesnt leave any bad taste in anybodys mouth afterwards He believes that ruthlessness may seem sensational in which gt Leader Be its results at the time it is exercised but it leaves residual bitterness that makes for disunity later on In other words it seems that liir Pearson believes the uaiities the next Prime Minister shoul have are very similar to those he himself has demon strated during his five years as leader of the country It is hard to imagine that lllr Pear son had any of the tential candidates in mind when he laid down his speciflv cations of all those who are expected to be in the field Mrs Martin probably comes closest to meeting the re uirc merits if llr Pearsons rather eastic definition of youth can be taken serious ly The Minister of External Affairs is the oldest of all those who have been mentioned He will be 85 in June No of the other front runners Paul liellyer and Mitchell Sharp ma not walk as gently as Mr Pearson woul like Cer tainly Mr Hellyer didnt worry about leaving any bitter tastes when he was pushing through the unification of the armed forces against the dlehard tradi tionalists Neither did Mr Shar seem to worry too much about tender eellngs when he wiped out tax cut to pay for old age assistance imposed new taxes in his minibudget to eck inflation and threatened even further taxation if medi care should come into effect it could well be however that the delegates to the Ottawa convention may feel that Canada during the past five years has had enou diplomacy on the domestic scene an are some hardline decisions whether they are popular or not if this is the case the party is amply equipped wrth people ca able of givrng this type of leadership present Mr Shar and Mr Hellyer seem to stand at the orefront in this category but others may emerge as the convention draws nearer Stays With English Common sense won handy victory over emotionnltsmyihen the Lab snbha 1House of Commons in India voted 224 do 15 to retain English as an official

Correloondent 7flAWA One day little more than 70 years ago news from Ottawa filled the entire front pages of mast Canadian newspapers The government had made two announcements and released two bulky documents One gave delaiis of the first tariff cuts to be made under the new General Agreement on Tarlis and Trade GATT The were the largest and widest re ductions ever made and or the consumer meant
