Hazen Robert Argue, CCF Member of Parliament for the past 17 years, since 1958 House Leader of the CCF Party, more recently the CCF - New Democratic Party, resigned very suddenly, charging domination by a small labour clique within the party.~In this program, Argue explains that he was exceedingly disturbed by the kind of labour-leader control developing in the NDP as opposed to a movement by the grass-roots members.~Four journalists questioning Argue about the CCF-NDP and the issues which influenced his resignation, are: Walter Grey, Toronto Globe and Mail; Pierre deBellefeuille, Maclean's Magazine; Norman DePoe, CBC News, and John Bird, Toronto Star.~Questions asked include:: Do you intend to join the Liberal Party? Are you a socialist? Would the NDP form a coalition with the Liberal government if, after the next election, neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives held a majority? What would you describe as an alternative to the NDP?
