What seems evident is that the |

Opposition, scenting an election in the offing catching possibilities of the federal medicare scheme, intends to ride it for all it is worth. We suggest, in the circumstances, that the government . concentrate on throwing the fullest possible light on the problem our tax- payers are confronted with in this issue. It\ has, we believe, a strong case. But. it could lose out by playing its cards too close to its chest.

A Sorry Mess

A spokesman for Prime Minister Pearson has stated that he had been authorized “to deny completely and categorically published and broadcast reports that he plans to_resign or that he indicated any such intention.” Ordinarily this would have satisfied the public mind. But so many of Mr. Pearson’s plans have gone askew of late, and he has demonstrated such little ability to make decisions and stick to them, that even his own supporters would hesitate to gamble on what he may do a week, a month, or three months from now.

What does seem apparent is that for the first time since he took over as Liberal leader, there has been talk of revolt in the Cabinet and caucus.

The Toronto Telegram reports that.

a concensus of top Liberals, confirm- _ing these developments, is that the PM's resignation may come this sum- mer, with a leadership convention in the fall. The Montreal Star reports some ministers as suggesting they would welcome his replacement, by. a

- But there’s always something for worry-warts to beef about.

~Nqw where have we heard that refrain before? Closer home, certain- ly. But who would think that Mr. Aalborg would be so stingy to the municipalities, with all the richest at his disposal. That’s the way it goes,
