character in nowfor gotten novel of the 19205 de scribed another as like badly cooked puddingfull of good stuff and the result beastly Perhaps beastly isnt quite the word but that could almost apply to Duplessis by Conrad Black McClelland and Stewart 743 pages $1695 The biography is meticulously and massively researched the author is one of only two people who have been granted unrestricted access to the papers and correspondence of Maurice LeNoblet Duplessis once the controversial premier onuebec He has obviously ransacked newspaper and magazine files in both French and English And he has talked at length with associates and adversaries of the Chef perhaps most prof itably with his longtime secre tary Aurea Cloutier The result is dull overlong cluttered with tedious and un necessary detail The author revels especially in dealing with the formation of the Union Nationale in imped ing his narrative with lists of names of the men who attended cabals committee meetings conventions or who just sat on thesame platform Black even lists the evanes cent names of the scriitineers at the convention that chose Dupl essis as leader when brief note that all the scrutineers were handpicked would have sufficed But this is scholarship by Golly and youd better not for get it CHLRCH ANI STATE The author is fond of quoting correspondencejustifiably at length on such matters

ex clusively entitled to the use for news dispatches in this paper credited to it or The Associated Press or Beuter and also the local news published therein The Barrie Examiner claims Copyright in all original adver tising and editorial material created by its employees and reproduced in this newspaper Co yright Num Registration r203815 register61 the British North America Act but again overdoing it when he sets out to show for example on one hand Duplessiss old world courtesy and on the other hand his polemicai or viii dictive side The section on Rodrigue ar dinal Villeneuve his public role and private relationship with the Chef as well as other dis sertations on the parts played by the Rev GeorgesHenri Le vesque Cardinal Leger and the Roman Catholic Church in general are essential But they could have been shorter and sharper and thus more telling The same technique is ap plied to election campaigns Meeting after meeting is repor ted drearily with places dates size of crowd tWherc by the way did Mr Black get his figures Any political reporter knows that the party holding rally exaggerates attendance while the opposition scales it down names of other speakers and quotations from Duplessis What we need to know is how the campaign progressed how the issues shifted and level oped Its there all right but the reader has to winnow it out SPECIAL INIERESI Mind you once the win nowing process is completed you have comprehensive biography of Duplessis 1800 1959 plus largely political but also social and economic history of Quebec from about 1920 through 1959 with glances backward and forward in cluding some analysis The question is whether its worth while for anyone but specialist to plow through all the verbiage The author pulls no punches in describing some of Dupl faults Ilis arrogant dictatorial attitude in the legislature where as premier he often told the Speaker how to rule on points of order correc ted his colleagues in mid speech or flouted the rules him self his dispensation of money to favorites and friends his heavy drinking sometimes with unfortunate consequences Duplessis went dry in 1943 and drank nothing stronger than orange juice until his death his ruthlessness often in anger but also in cold blood Mostly though the book is lost in admiration of the Chefs shrewdness wit charm gener osity and undoubted deep un derstanding of his fellow Quebecers ROLE Conrad Black is very much of the Establishment Ile is fair enough to apply few pejora tive adjectives to outright dis honesties of both the Ias chereau and Duplessis regimes but emerges as complacent spectator of kickbacks shady deals and cronyism He notes that the Chef for ex ample kept close eye on road costpermile figures in other provinces and insisted that Quebec contractors match them Thus he concludes con tributions ti the Union Nation ale war chest came out of le gitimate profits not inflated prices Ile naively fails to realize that profits can be expanded by slipping few dollars to an in spector to overlook shoddy ma terials or skimping on specifications And that hap pencd often Establishment vicws also emerge on the Padlock Law and the Itoncarclli case Jtlltr vahs Witnesses were public nuisance The Asbestos strike of 1040 was rather tawdry at fair and the idea that the con flict was turning point in labor relations in Quebec is mythology Most students of the period wouldnt agree even if it is mythology thc myth caught hold and things have never been the same since PASI Nl IlllRE Theres strong piciudicc against Le Devoii the only newspaper that emerged to fight Duplessiss paternalism authoritarianism and peculiar finances Iruc some of the at tacks were excessive but dcs peratc men use desperate measures And the book dismisses as lightweight dangerous radicals the likes of lrudcau Alan chand Pellcticr Laurcndcau Levesque ignoring the fact that in the long run they were the future while Duplessis was the past Finally the writing itself di spite occasional lclicitous phrases and shafts of wit is generally turgid or in comprehensible Many words are spelled the same in both English and Iicn ch but do not mean the same thing Conrad Black sup poscdly writing in English con tantly uses such words in the French sense 01 examples in 30 pages 445405i rendering scn fences or whole paragraphs lll comprehensible to anyone who isnt thoroughly bilingual In short really good biogra phy of Duplessis remains to be written Norman IliIoc for many years rcportcd national politics for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp innit
