We have a good chance of succeeding - if not democracy is in a sorry position. Gvts. come and go - I have not noticed in administration of public affairs any deterrent in a change of Govt. Our party has not had a chance of administration but in so far as last Govt is concerned except for 3 members - none were in Parliament prior to me, many will be associated with me in new Parliament.- (Will your Govt try to reduce the influence of U.S commercial interests in Canada": :Don't understand the question: I do not decry any influence in development, providing all shall operate for the maximum benefit of Canada. but as for taxation and the law when Canadians expend - 'risk' capital - and find themselves in an inferior position to U.S.A. invest? - that should be removed. I think all should have equality of opportunity in the development of the country:)Orig.neg. ITN Howard 16mm 4.27secs24/6/57/11.00pm:
