Reaction can probably most,aptly be described as "mixed" to Prime Minister Pearson's announced in- tention to remain in his present post for at least the foreseeable fi- ture, Federal Liberals -have re- . affirmed confidence. in . his" leader- ship -- and for his part, he has re- cently demonstrated a much firmer resolve to give it. It was not many weeks ago that rumors were rife that time was fast running out for both h@® and Op- position Leader Diefenbaker in their présent roles. Neither, how- ever, have paid such stories much heed. \ For the Liberal Party it as well Prime Minister Pearson seems to have grasped the chal- lenge to continue, A, strong succes- sor, with the excepflon of the Hon, Paul Martin on a caretaker basis, has not yet emerged to follow him. The same cannot be said about the Conservatives. Both Geéryé Hees and Davie Fulton have shown some impatience to. assume the Tory chief's mantle. And, particularly is just recent weeks, Premier Robarts, has been mentioned prominently in the press across Canada, as the man forethe job, Mr. Robarts_carries a good deal of 'prestige as leader of Canada's largest province. Also to his credit is his firm resistaye to the tempta- tion to voice Anglo-Saxon resent- ment to Quebec proposals and pres- sures. Contrary to course of other provincial leaders, he has backed Ottawa's effort to find understand- ing with Quebec City. He has re- tained good relations with Premier Lesage maintaining Canada central govern- ment to counter provincial "empire- building". He has the potential of reasoning h Quebec 'withotit ac- quiescing to»-exaggerated demands. His stock will rise higher still as time brings wider recognition, Thus Mr. Pearson's determina- tion to continue can provide Liber- als with chance to find a man to match the potential of Conserva- tive candidates for Party leader- ship. while requires a strong wi New Deal At Long Last According to reports from Otta- wa, Canada's Hong Kong veterans are to be given a new pension deal, early in 1966. A preliminary report on their problems was recently sub- mitted to Veterans Affairs Minister Teillet, based on a two-year survey by the Canadian Pension Commis- sion. The survey found ample grounds for concluding that a new pension status for these veterans was overdue, It showed that the survivors of the ill-fated Hong Kong expedition -- now numbering only 1,100--had more social and economic problems The Oshawa Times' _ T.

An approach which was undertaken only 12 months ago when the government set up an Ontario Housing Corporation. This corporation is esséntially a government agency, But it is semi - autonomous. And it is headed by a very successful businessman, Kenneth Soble, acting-on a voluntary basis, The corporation was instruc- ted it was to cut through the red tape which had tied down housing for years. To. equip it to do this it was given the power to act-on its And it has been able to cut through the tape. Efficient operation is one rea- son why it's been able to do this.
