Dief Appeals For Unity Sn Tory Ranks TORONTO (CP)John Diefenbaker made a strong plea Monday night for unity in the Progressive Conservative party but did not allude directly to his leadership, questioned in some quarters.

"We've had our ups and downs over the years," tha former prime minister told more than 1,200 cheering delegates and guests at the annual meetings of the Ontario Conservative Association. "I kept the faith on behalf of this party," Mr. Diefenbaker said. He said it always had been his wish to do something ''on behalf of the average Canadian." Popularity Not Everything "Leadership consists of more things than being popular. It consists of taking a stand when you think you are right." There have been demands, notably from national Conservative President Dalton Camp, that the party's leadership should be reviewed.

New Democrats Rapped Mr. Diefenbaker had some harsh words Monday for the New Democratic Party as well as the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pearson.

"They're not talking about socialism Mr. Diefenbaker said of the NDP. He said the time has come now to halt Canada's march toward a welfare state. This would be after pension increases for the elderly and certain benefits for veterans were approved. "You'll never arouse the souls of young men and women with a socialistic government," Mr.

Diefenbaker said. "I want young Canadians to have the kind of hope.
