Nationale Party in Sunday's Quebec election gave food for thought to editorial writers across the Dominion, A sampi- ing of some of the editorials follows: Woodstock Sentinel Review-- Mr. Lesage and his associates had shown themselves to be most progressive in the pursuit of the Quiet Revolution to bring their. province abreast of the rest of Canada. ... What ap- pears to have emerged from a peview of this past weekend's vote is that possibly the Liber- als had become overconfident and had gone too far too fast. Peterborough Examimer (Ind) --To sort out the factors which led to this reversal will take some time. . . . The Liberals have been careless of the church. Some of the party's spokesmen--notably Rene Le- vesque -- have occasionally made statements which could have given the church no com- fort. Educational reforms in Quebec also. made the church uneasy. And though there may have been no more direct a con- nection between the church's Election Result Spurs Comment The unset victory of the Union| viously all sorts of factors, long in the listing, have figured in this strange campaign . . . the Liberals' error was to minimize the discontent stirred up by im- plementation of the big reforms that were needed. They didn't take sufficient account of local problems. . . . The Union Na- tionale profited from its years in. opposition, the last two espe- cially, to break with its authori- tarian and monolithic past and to adopt a new democratic im- age. ... Truly, we are entering a new era of uncertainty, of confusion and of harrowing changes, Montreal Star--, . . Mr. John- son deserves his chance. How much difference it will make to the Quiet Revolution is unclear. There is not that much between the two party platforms -- a/§ more cautious note, perhaps, in the policies of Mr. Johnson but very little more. . . . The Lib-| eral organization, so effective) four years ago, appears to have gone soft; the half-hearted at- tempt at (electoral) redistribu- tion left a rural vote still worth far more than its urban coun- terpart and it was the country which went to the Union Na- tionale; and perhaps most im- ment a few days from now.

Im- patient politicians usually end up with worried voters--people who find the pace of change too fact for them, neonle who find they haven't had the time or sometimes the opportunity to study fully the implications of new and quick action, And so they react by putting on the brakes--in this case, on Jean Lesage and his Liberal party.

It calls the «rrow vote "'an- other exe if one wanted, of the ambiguous an- swers being given in this decade by the electorate throughout Canada." Of Union Nationale Leader) Danie] Johnson, the paper says: | "There seems little doubt that while, like most opposition lead-| ers who win office he will bow to practicalities, he will pursue the politique de grandeur with) a Quebec accent even more mili-| tantly than did his predeces- sor." | It says both Johnson and Lib-| eral Premier Jean Lesage sought the separatist yote but "the discontent of the farming community, which does not share in the tremendous indus-| trial surge of the province, did the trick' for Johnson. NEW YORK (CP)--The Times | says in an editorial today that) the "countryside beat the city in Quebec province, putting Jean Lesage's Liberal party out of office." "Mr. Johnson's talk of 'inde-| pendence' one the electoral) campaign probably meant pation from the federal govern- ment," says The Times. 'Que- bec is a bit like Puerto Rico in this respect--independence is a fine ideal, but practical consid-| erations would hardly induce/ the great majority of Quebecers| to give up the protection and privileges of the British North America Act. "In this election it looked as ff the rural inhabitants were voting in protest against Pre-| mier Lesage's 'quiet revolu-| tion,' . . . besides, rural Quebec} is intensely conservative and old-fashioned in its ways." Revolution End: Le Monde Says | PARIS (Reuters)--The inde pendent newspaper Le Monde) sald Monday the victory of Dan-| fel Johnson's Union Nationale party in Sunday's Quebec pro-| vincial elections "'has taken the country back six years." In a front-page editorial en-| titled "the end of the quiet rev-| olution,"" Le Monde said: | "Whether he (Johnson) likes it or not, in fact the man who has all the chances of becoming the next Quebec head of govern- ment remains tied to a bad ex- perience: The 20-year 'reign' of (the late) Union Nationale leader Maurice Duplessis over the French-speaking province." It said Johnson's post as nat- selves and a hardening of po- sitions, once they come to grips oral resources minister under; | Duplessis was significant. "Tt is to be hoped that despite) the unfavorable factors Mr. Johnson and his team will be able to prefer the rational. de- & velopment of a viable commu- nity to a withdrawal into them- with the realities of power.
