LIBERALS, NDPs RAP EACH OTHER By THE CANADIAN PRESS The apathy evident in the campaign for the Oct. 17 Ontar- fo general election was recog- nized by Premier John Robarts Thursday. Confirming what already was generally felt, the Progressive Conservative Premier told a Peterborough rally that the campaign has "FAILED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AROUND ANY SINGLE ISSUE AND DEBATE . . . HAS TENDED TO BECOME DIFFUSE." Mr. Robarts, Liberal Leader Robert Nixon and Donald MacDonald of the New Demo- cratic Party spent the day giv- ing weight to the permier's observation, each criticizing the two other parties and ignoring the problems confronting Ontare fo. Mr. Robarts slapped at both the Liberals and the NDP for their "never-ending carping" at government policy and action; Mr. Nixon continued to take exception to Mr, Robarts call for a national conference on Confederation; and Mr. Mac- Donald said the premier Wednesday quoted an NDP election pamphlet out of context before saying that the Liberals no longer are a potent force in Ontario politics but are "drop- ping out of the picture." tr, Robarts said both opposi- tion parties continually criti- cized the government for spend- ing too much money, then went out and promised programs that would only boost taxation. He said they were trying to destroy national confidence in Ontario while trying to under- mine voter confidence in the Conservatives. SPECIAL QUEBEC STATUS ASKED He said both opposition lead- ers have refused to discuss what he considers the main issues--the future of Confedera- tion, Ontario's role in Confeder- ation and the problems of urban growth. But Mr. Nixon spent a good part of Thursday in Toronto telling a news conference, again, why he felt it was pres- umptuous of a provincial pre- mier to call a conference on Confederation without full and prior consultation with and the co - operation of federal author- ities, He said Ontario can do much to cement unity in Canada, but that the province shouldn't usurp Ottawa's role in leading the country toward constitution- al revision, He said that, if elected, he would continue plans for the Nov. 26-30 conference in Torsn- to, but that unless he had full federal support it would be with a far different agenda--deaiing with areas of provincial respon- sibility only, For his part, Mr. MacDonald told a Cooksville, Ont., news conference that Quebec alwavs had a special status and should continue to do so, Mr. MacDonald spent today touring, ending with an eveaing meeting in Peterborough while the premier was in Lindsay and Oshawa and Mr. Nixon was in Trenton and Sarnia. At dissolution of the 108-seat legislature, the Conservatives had 75 seats, the Liberals 20, the NDP eight and there were five vacancies. In contention for the 117 seats available fol- lowing a 1966 redistribution are a record 366 candidates, Robarts Admits Campaign Apathetic By THE CANADIAN PRESS THURSDAY, Oct. 5, 1967 A New Democrat motion of non-confidence went down to a crushing 141 to 17 defeat in the C Sharp On The Hot Seat For Tax Boost Threat By THE CANADIAN PRESS Two western premiers joined Canadian labor leaders Thurs- day in an attack on Finance Minister Sharp's threat to Increase taxes, if necessary, to curb inflation. Manitoba Premier Duff Rob- lin called Mr. Sharp a "John- come-lately," adding that Otta- wa's own "deliberate policies" led to inflation. ' Premier Ernest Manning of Alberta said Mr. Sharp's pro- blamed "fantastic federal waste" for the problem. Opera- tions of the CBC and the royal commission on bilingualism and bilculturalism alone "poured $7,000,000 down the drain." Mr. Sharp told the Commons Wednesday the government would act to end an inflationary spiral if voluntary restraints failed to curb wage demands and price increases. Meanwhile, the Canadian Labor Congress warned that posals are two years late, and any tax increase would have Road Ahead Seen Rough For Roblin In Seat Bid OTTAWA (CP)--Duff Roblin, Is not expected to get the same) easy ride into the Commons Robert Stanfield appears to be getting. There appears to be little ressure on other political par- jes to make it easy for Mr. Roblin to win a federal seat. In fact, the pressure seems to be the other way. Mr. Roblin will probably run in the Manitoba riding of Mar- quette after he steps down as Manitoba premier next month. Nicholas Mandziuk wants to give up the Conservative seat for Mr. Roblin, runner-up to Mr. Stanfield. at last month's party leadership convention. For Mr. Stanfield, everybody co-operated from Prime Minis- ter Pearson down. The Liberal leader called a quick byelection for Colchester-Hants after the Conservative member for the Nova Scotia riding quit to open it for Mr. Stanfield. Both the Liberals and the New Democratic Party decided to let him in unopposed--an action at least partly due to the public feeling that it would be courteous and proper to allow Mr. Stanfield to take his place as leader of the Opposition as quickly as possible. There were also suggestions both parties. were acknowledg- ing the inevitable by not run- ning against Mr. Stanfield, a where he had been premier since 1956. NO PRESSURE By contrast, the Liberals and New Democrats are likely to treat Mr. Roblin as just another politician trying for a Commons seat. Moreover, there is no pressure on Mr. Pearson to call a prompt byelection if Mr. Mandziuk steps down. As a result, Mr. Roblin may find himself in a byelection timed to suit the Liberal gov- ernment. No matter where he runs, it will be a temptation for both the. NDP and the Liberals to attempt to beat Mr. Roblin with Strong, well-financed cam- aigns. f if the Roblin choice is Mar- quette, the NDP will be in a position to throw in workers from Winnipeg and other Mani- toba points and Saskatchewan, even though the party ran a poor third there in the 1965 fed- eral election. The Liberal candidate, Rudy Usick, ran a fairly respectable second in the 1965 election with 6,424 votes, compared with 10,- 613 for Mr. Mandziuk. The Liberals recall that it used to be a Liberal seat before Mr, Mandziuk won it in 1957. It was once held by Stuart Gar- son, justice minister in the St. Laurent administration and also a former Manitoba Pre- power in Nova Scotia politics mier. Operator Of Marina Doubts Thornes Aband PARRY SOUND, Ont. (CP) --A marina operator said Thursday people in this area doubt that Mr. and Mrs, Victor Thorne abandoned their mute, retarded son, Ricky. "This things smells to high heaven," said Wellington : Welsh, the operator. "There's more here than meets the eye. They're not that kind of people. "They are old friends in the district. They are well-liked, awfully nice people. Everyone here can't believe it." The Thornes have been accused by officials in Miami of abandoning their son, although no charges have been laid. : Mr. Welsh said the Thornes have not been at their cottage, oned Mute Son sooner believe that they were sort of given reason to believe that if they did what they did now the state would have to look after him." Ricky also was found aban- doned at Miami Airport two damaging effect on the econ- omy. SUPPORTS LABOR It rejected "implications" in Mr. Sharp's remarks that labor is largely responsible for cost- price increases, but added it was willing to meet with the minister to discuss the prob- lem. In a statement at Victoria, Attorney-General Robert Bon- ner of British Columbia said the threat is an admission by Mr. Sharp that the federal gov- ernment has made a shambles of the Canadian economy. Mr, Bonner said it also dem- onstrates that the Liberal gov- ernment have national policies that are applied on a selective basis. "The more shocking state- ment, if Mr. Sharp has been correctly reported, is that although they now admit it was a mistake, they are neverthe- less making an exception for Saskatchewan--which just hap- pens to be in the midst of an election where the Liberal party has troubles of its own." Saskatchewan Premier Ross Thatcher, meanwhile, expressed agreement with Mr. Sharp's views: "We're certain- ly sympathetic to his objectives and we'll co-operate wherever we can." CUT SPENDING Premier Alex Campbell of Prince Edward Island said his province has already co-operat- ed by cutting spending. Similar statements were made by G. I. Smith, acting premier of Nova Scotia; A. O. Aalborg, Alberta provincial treasurer and Ralph Loffmakr, B.C. trade and com- merce minister. David Archer, president of the Ontario Federation of Labor, said voluntary restraints are unrealistic: "Who is going to cut his own profits or wages?" George. Burt, Canadian direc- tor of the United Auto Workers, rejected any implication that labor is responsible for infla- tion. "We have proposed a price review board to establish just who is responsible. . . ." Ralph M. Barford, president of the Canadian Electrical Man- ufacturers Association, said he was impressed by the finance minister's "laying it on the line." R. A. Engholm, president of the Canadian Manufacturers Association, agreed that the inflation threat was serious. "But no industry raises prices for the fun of it." He blamed rising taxes and wages as cost factors that are "beyond the control of manage- ment" and yet have contributed years ago, with three cents and half-eaten sandwich in his pocket. significantly to soaring prices. The motion criticized the government for not taking steps to amend income tax regulations so that any mar- ried couple with an annual income of $4,000 or less would be exempt from tax. It said also the government should have removed the 11-per-cent sales tax on building mate- rials. During debate on the budg- et before the vote, Finance Minister Sharp got advice from within and outside his own party on how to keep the costs of government down. Gerald W. Baldwin (PC-- Peace River) said the govern- ment is on trial because of OTTAWA - AT - A- GLANCE mismanagement of the ecen- omy. Jack Davis (L--Coast Capi- lano) said the economy has made steady advances for seven consecutive years, Prime Minister Pearson said Canada opposes any increased use of nuclear weapons, Barry Mather (NDP--New Westminster) presented a bill that would regulate cigarette advertising on radio and tele- vision. Manpower Minister Mar- chand said it would be "'abso- lutely impossible" to control the winter works program if each municipality was allowed to pick its own start- ing date for the program.

"This trend is welikely to strengthen our bargaining| power in Washington, but it leaves us freer to follow our own course," he writes in the October issue of Foreign Affairs, an American publica- tion. "American independence of Canada encourages Canadian independence of the U.S." Mr. Holmes, assistant deputy minister of external affairs from 1953 to 1960, says '"'the language of the 1950s fits the Canada-U.S. relationship little better than it fits that between the U.S. and its European associates." But he concludes: "We are all less likely to pay lip service to solidarity, but in practice it is doubtful if we can escape, or really want to escape, from the habits of consultation, the rec- ognition of mutual interests, the restraint in our disputations which we work out in forms that defy neat definition but represent a basic need to hang together in a highly uncertain territory for defence in a mis-| jfrom Europe in a few years.

The chamber delivered its main attack at a proposal for integration of corporate and personal income taxes.

Mr. Holmes says the U.S. will not care much whether or not Canada collaborates in an anti- ballistic-missile system because experts tend to regard Cana- dian soil as of marginal value.
