These two leading candidates are thus avoiding the issues on which the Liberal party leadership should be decided. Delegates to the party's April convention in Ottawa should be able to choose the successor to Prime Minister Pearson on the basis of where the party is to stand on the controversies of the day. - ' Some of these include the Liberal party's attitude toward free trade with the United States and the extent of U.S. domination of Canadian indus- try. There are major fiscal ques: tions to be answered, such as whether the federal government should ease back on spending so as to come in with balanced budgets. Should; the -country proceed with medicare July 1 despite warnings this will impose heav- ier burdens on government bud- gets, leading to higher taxes? There are delicate questions of international finance, the most important of which Is whether the U.S. will be able to escape devaluation, of its, currency, which.would thereby knock the props out for under the Caned- ian dollar. Robert Winters, because he is 'regarded. as a spokesman for big business, a "Bay street boy" and an accomplished fi- nancier, stresses instead, his mo- dest Nova Scotia background. By nature more conservative than most Conservatives, Mr. Winters ,is going out of his way to avoid attacking welfare state programs. He has stayed out of the French -English debate, avoided the stand which has cost Mr. Trudeau considerable support in Quebec, but -has spoken of the need for greater opportunity for French Cana- dians, something with which neither English or French Ca- nadians will disagree. The main outlines of Mr. Winters campaign can thus be seen to make him a -moderate, a man of •the centre,in very much the image of Robert Stan- field, the reasoned, intelligent but aggressive businessman who will assure good Canadian com- mon sense at the helm of gov- ernment. While Mr. Winters p,ursues the reforniist element in the Liberal Party knowing that he already has right-wing Liberals backing him (and thus doesn't have to woo them). Widely regarded as a radicil, a reformist, a swinger and in-. deed almost a socialist from some of his past pronounce- ments, it might be expected that Mr. Trudeau would stake out new high ground to which he would propose to take Cana- da and the Liberal party if he became leader and -Prime Min- ister. But instead, again the em- phasis is on what Mr. Trudeau is not. Because he has the left- wing Liberalsbacking him, there is no need to court their favor. The wooing must be of the old guard, stand -pat Liber- als of the Mackenzie King and St. Laurent era. Thus Mr. Trudeau attacks the idea of ,a minimum annual wage as one which would merelyen- sure Canadians of a minimum standard of welfare, instead of maximum opportunity. He criti- cizes U.S. bombing of North Vietnam but says we should , continue to sell military equip- ment to the U.S. because to d9 so is profitable to our industry. Only on• the issue of federalism, has Mr. Trudeau spoken clearly to the issue — at the risk of losing support in Quebec he has gained a tremendous following in the'rest of Canada. He says medicare should; he the last uni- versal welfare program laun- ched in Canada. By taking these approaches, neither Mr. Winters nor Mr. Trudeau are being dishonest or insincere. But anyone who ex- pects a political candidate to really stake out his position is asking to much. It's too risky. MITCHELL, MONKTON and SEAFORTH . can now call DUBLIN without Long Distance charges.

N� Canadian Should remain indifferent to the fact that there 1e, in this country, a ,program whose objective is to promote progress in dis-. advantaged rural areas. ARDA is a joint Federal -Provincial program and its goals are tO increase income and eMployment opportunities of rural peopie and increase the efficient use of rural lands. In order to achieve thase,objectives, ARDA is using various means: — In Ontario, for example, major emphasis is being direct to the farm enlargement program and to the counselling, training and mobility programs which are applicable to the entire rural population. -The problem in Ontario resolves itself -into the improved . utilization of both human and natural resources. Our changing technology almost dictates that society Win be , increasingly urbanized. ARDA in Ontario can and is as- • sisting in the many facets of relocating rural people in urban centers, while at the same time and wherever possible the land resources of the rural areas are being developed and brought into improved productivity to • better serve the rural population. In brief, social and economic development for rural people and optimum utilization of natural resources are the two concepts inspiring ARDA.
