Reading from a prepared text, | he informed the Commons for- mally of his resignation from the New Democratic Party and announced he wants to seek re- election in his Saskatchewan constituency of Assiniboia.

TRIES TO COMMENT

Mr. Fisher, who nominated Mr. Argue for the NDP leader- ship at the founding convention Jast August, made an unsuccess- ful attempt to reply to his for- mer parliamentary |e ader’s statement. He then gavé notice he will do so today during the throne speech debate.

Since his resignation from the NDP, Mr. Argue has steered a steady course toward Liberal ranks, stopping short of actually saying he will join the Liberals.

Liberal Leader Pearson, out of town until Thursday. has in- dicated Mr. Argue will be ac- ceptable as a Liberal MP.

Mr Argue told the Commons that ‘‘much careful and heart- searching thought preceded his decision to quit the NDP.

“who have served their country and their constituencies with

distinetion and whose devotion t’ duty is an example to ‘he | whole House.”

| Tight a

The second difficulty was that his decision was bound to hurt close friends in the CCF who had tried to build a new party “based on social justice, econo- mic equality and with a basis of control in the constituency or- ganization.”

A small labor cliquc, he said, controls the party. Their hold

ould strengthen with affiliation of more union locals. With labor predominating at conventions, debate ‘‘becomes superfluous and votes become an exercise merely to rubber-stamp prev- iously agreed-to platform direc- tives."

“As to the future, I shall merely say that I desire to seek re-election to Parliament in my own riding of Assiniboia and

that I expect to make a further -

announcement bearing on my sylitical future at an early date.”

Gas Chamber Is Advocated

OTTAWA (CP)—-A bill to pro vide for execution by the gas chamber instead of the gallows was introduced in the Commons Wednesday by Judy La Marsh (L—Niagara Falls).

It is unlikely to be debated in the near future, since a long list of other private members’ bills have priority.

Miss La Marsh aalso_ intro duced another bill to amend the Copy-right Act and to give ef- fect to the International Copy- right Convention. A government resolution to ratify the conven- tion is already before the Com mons.

Nuclear Arms Indecision Blasted By Liberal Critic

Action Need Said Urgent

OTTAWA (CP) — Canada hap become the “laughing stock of because of govern- ment indecision on nuclear war- heads for its weapon systems, Liberal defence critic Paul Hel- lyer said in the Commons Wed- nesday

He said it is hecoming in- creasingly urgent that a decis- jon be reached soon ‘‘one way or another.”

The indecision on nuclear weapons was ‘extremely frus trating’ and ‘‘altogether incom- prehensible’’ to Canada's allies.

“We are spending a lot of money for weapon systems which are operational now ex- cept for the fact that they are unarmed and we are continuing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for further weapon systems which are in the same category,’ he said during the throne speech debate

ATTACKS ATTITUDE

Mr Hellyer also attacked the government for taking a ‘‘nega- tive attitude’ on Britain's nego tiations for membership in the European Common Market

Forward - thinking Canadian business leaders were urging Canada to take a positive ap- proach, to exploit the trade op- portunities opening up

The government must change its attitude. he said. ‘or Can- ada may be left as a little island isolated from the mainstream of world events.’
