OTTAWA (CP)—The issues the Nov. 8 election campaign, have been notable more for) quantity than high drama. And the ones hinge domestic rather than foreign affairs.

None of the wide range of 1965 talking points has the life- enud-death quality of the nuclear question that stimulated the 1963: campaign and produced sharp conflict both between and

‘ within politica! parties.

Instead» the politicians are talking about majority govern- ment, morality’ in government, national unity, Conservative party unity, a national medical care program and the Canade- | U.S. auto trade agreement.-

Such campaign staples a: wheat prices and the cost of Jiwing also have been tossed into the cauldron. The only for- eign affairs issue is the ques- tion of sending Canadian troops to Viet Nam.

Conservative Leader Dieleu- | baker has repeatedly sought to link the Liberal government ‘o the underworld, his comments covering everything from the Lucien Rivard scandal to Que- bec bankruptcy rackets.

The taunts went largely ur- answered by Mr. Pearson uniil late in the campaign when he delivered a blistering television denunciation of the accusations. It was a temporary break in his: pedestal-ype approach to. the campaign. + Liberal tactic was to avoid trading long-range insults or accusations with Mr. Diefenbaker.

Mr. Pearson rejected the charge categorically. He - said Canada has no troop commit- ments whatsoever in Viet Nam.

On th: Prairies, particularly, Mr. Diefenbaker ‘has laid the blame for last January’s wheat- price decline on the Léberal doorsteo However, in a Saskat- chewan visit, Mr. Pcarson cited facts and figures which, he said- showed farmers were doing well under the Liberals.

Mr. Pearson has termed the proposal unwoérkable and said those who need extra help, up to $125 if necessary, will get it under supplementary assist- ance.
