DeGaulle’s Quebec Tour MacDUFF OTTAWA REPORT Before General Charles de Gaulle arrived in Canada the federal government was ap- prehensive over the difficul- ties he might create. But even in their wildest mom- ents of concern the minis- ters never dreamed that the President of France would precipitate the kind of crisis that exploded over the coun- try durinq his visit to Que- bec for Centennial year. When he arrived and made a few speeches which The decision to have De Gaulle land at Wolfe’s Cove on the French Cruiser Colbert at the very spot where Wolfe defeated Montcalm 208 years ago and Canada came under British jurisdiction, was all part of a grand plan to turn back the hands of time. The French ship’s failure to grant Canada the common court- esy of flying her flag in our coastal waters was an early indication of the humiliating form the De Gaulle-John- son tour would take. The federal government should have wasted no time in telling the general that there is only one national capital in Canada Throughout the four days he was in Quebec General de Gaulle was in- sulting to Canada as a nation and offered succor and encouragement to those in Quebec who would destroy confederation. Premier Daniel John~ son and his National Union Govern- ment, which likes to act as if it is a state unto itself, planned the whole visit in such a way as to make it as insulting as possible to the federal government and English-speaking Canadians. One can hardly conceive of a more blatant intrusion into the domestic affairs of this nation by a foreign head of state. General de Gaulle by his many emotional utterances made during the tour, such as comparing his Quebec welcome with that he received during his march through liberated France after the German occupation, systematically attempted to create dissension. What he very conveniently forgot to mention was that France was set free through the joint efforts of Canadian, British and American troops. This point, like so many others, is forgotten by the general when events don't favor his particular point of view. Most Canadians reacted angrily to the inflammatory statements of Gen- eral Charles (19. Gaulle during his recent visit to Quebec. The climax to the French President’s open sup- port for the Quebec Separatists came when he‘ uttered those infamous words “Quebec Libre” from the bal- cony of the Montreal City Hall.

Istanbul, Johannesburg and Winnipeg. spoke of the close affilia- tion of the people of France with the French speaking Canadians in the province of Quebec. the press sought to read things into these remarks. At least this was the official reaction in Ot- tawa. Even Prime Minister Pearson was annoyed over what he believed was a tendency on the part of the press to try and create a "crisis atmosphere", The word was quietly passed to the parliamentary press gal- Although De Gaulle and Johnson are the two main villains in this whole unhappy episode, the Pearson Government must also bear the main responsibility for the events that have led up to it. It was Mr. Pear- son’s two nations policy which has catered to Quebec’s every whim and which, in so doing, has weakened the whole fabric of the federal govern- ment. He has given Canada weak, divisive leadership which has encour- aged the extremist elements in Que- bec to flaunt the authority of the central government and a united Can- ada. He has wasted thousands of our tax dollars on such exercises in futility as the Bi-Bi Commission which has done nothing but fan the flames of division. This newspaper has repeatedly maintained that Canada needs vig- orous, dedicated leadership and an equally strong central government if this country we love is to continue into its second century as a united land. Another extremely rude gesture was Mr. Johnson’s refusal to fly Canada‘s new flag. Everywhere De Gaulle travelled, with the exception of Montreal, he was greeted with the fleur-de-lis, the official flag of Que- bec. The ironical part is that the major reason the Pearson Govern- ment sponsored the flag issue through Parliament was to appease Quebec and maintain our so-called national unity. Now we have the sorry spectacle of the Quebec Gov- ernment refusing to fly that flag. One of the rudest snubs was the decision not to include Canada’s Min- ister of External Affairs the Hon. Paul Martin among the head table guests at the official dinner tendered De Gaulle by the Quebec Government. When Mr. Martin protested his ex- clusion, Quebec’s youthful Minister of Education Marcel Masse who was in charge of arrangements said, “he might be able to squeeze in a small folding chair for Mr. Martin.” and if he was going to visit this coun- try he would have to come to Ottawa first. Mr. Deacon, a six-foot-six father of six, is deeply inter- ested in municipal problems. A former deputy-reeve of Markham Township, he is the Liberal Candidate in the new provincial riding of York Cen- tre and he makes no secret of the fact that he would like to be Minister of Municipal Af- fairs some day. He ran unsuc- cessfully in the Beaches in .1963. ' Mr. Deacon, who last year visited Mexico City. Lima. Rio de J a n e i r 0, Johannesburg, Moscow. Vienna, Hamburg, Stockholm, Oslo. Glasgow and' London, in January, called group leaders together in an abbey outside Paris. The rap- port achieved there in two days and the enthusiasm en- gendered by the good recep- tion of Canadian initiative con- vinced him that the Toronto gathering will be a memorable success. The exchange of ideas will be on an extremely practical level, he is sure. Some of the cities with the greatest growth problems are in regions of limited economic opportunity and the result is often a highly imaginative use of limited re- sourses available. dent of Consumers‘ Gas Co.. like Mr. Deacon, visited 20 of the participating cities to help establish 5 t u d .v committees, while Simon Miles, associate director of the bureau, visited all 40. lery that Mr. Pearson had been comparing the state- ments made that first day of de Gaulle's visit with statements he had made in the past to Mr. Pearson and to External Affairs Minis- ter Paul Martin.

He scanned them and came to the con- clusion that the general was not saying more than he had said before.

The Legion stands for unity, comradeship. mutual help and the furthering of worthy traditions. It is the members’ constant task to perpetuate the memory and deeds of the fallen. They keep an annual remembrance day to commemorate the valor and sacrifice of their fallen comrades. The public must not‘be allowed to forget this. The welfare of members is its prime concern, including descendants, disabled or needy wherever they may be: The Legion strives for peace, good will and friendship between all nations at the same time advocating the maintenance by Canada of sufficient forces on land, sea and air for the defense of our country and for the discharge of those obligations which rest on us by virtue of our membership in the British Commonwealth. The Legion is an association based on demo- cratic and non-sectarian principles. Members are re- cruited from those who served in Her Majesty’s navy. army, air force, or any auxiliary force. Legionnaires support programs for training. employment and settlement of ex-service men and women and the education of their children. They campaign for adequate pensions, allowances, grants and war gratuitles. It is not easy to belong to the Legion. Stiff disciplinary measures are for those who break bylaws or become obnoxious in some way. An unruly mem- ber can be expelled, suspended, deprived of office or position or barred from clubhouse privileges. The offender may be admonished and reprimanded for any of the following reasons and punishment admin- istered according to the offense: (1) breach of obligations to the Legion or its bylaws, (2) seditious or disloyal utterances and acts, (3) profane or dis- orderly conduct at a Legion meeting or on Legion premises, (4) maliciously making a complaint against a member, (5) conduct unworthy of a memâ€" ber which in any way tends to bring discredit to the Legion. They' organize and regulate Iadies’ auxiliaries for the purpose of assisting the Legion. The auxil- iary is a unit in its own right. 7 They encourage, promofe, engage in, and support all forms of national, provincial, municipal and com- munity service, or any charitable or philanthropic purpose. 7 7 7 V _A U‘ RICHMOND HILL BRANCH 375, RCL Frank Barrott, the genial, outgoing president of the local branch, has held his post for six years.

The opposition parties agree} that the province should as- sume a far higher proportion of education costs than it now does. An 80 per cent figure is often mentioned.

Apart from education costs, the whole principle of munici- pal-provincial tax relations should be reviewed. The pro- vince should be obliged to fin- ance, out of its broad tax base, services which benefit people rather than property. Social welfare could well be added to education as a major provincial commitment.

OF CANADA Dr. Park, who like Dr. Maini, was requested to return to his home country, is completing a three-month stay in South Korea at the request of that country’s government. While in Kore'a he is advising and instructing in mushroom cul- ture, a major industry in that country. “This has the advantage,“ said Dr. Maini. “of training ecologists in India under actual conditions. It will also enable many more persons rto be trained because of the high cost of bringing students all the way from the Far East." ships which is being conducted in developing nations such as lndia. During his stay in India he observed that one major problem is the shortage of prop- erly trained ecologists. In his report to the Smithsonian Insti- tution he will recommend that advanced university training in ecology be expanded in In- dia rather than having Indians come to the west. to study. Dr. Maini came to Canada from India in 1957 and joined the Department of Forestry and Rural Development in 1962. In his work with the De- partment he specializes in the ecology of Canadian poplars. Before Dr. Park joined the department early this year. he carried out research for a Southern Ontario mushroom grower. During his one and a half years with the company, he devised a method of inâ€" creasing production by 50%. Much of this was attributed to an} additive he discovered whi'ch is prepared from waste coffee grounds used in the manufacture of Instant coffee. AURORA: A survey will be conducted to determine whether this town has need of a low- rental project and of senior citizens‘ housing. It will be conducted by the Ontario Hous- ing Corporation. Before coming to the west, Dr. Park received a long list of honors and awards in the Philippines for his research into human nutritional prob- lems. He produced an inexpenâ€" sive protein food which is to- day known as “Dr. Park's Misc" and is a very popular food supplement in the Philip- pines where fish makes up the greatest portion of the people's diet. Dr. Park studied in Japan, South Korea and the United States before coming to Can- ada in 1963. Elizabeth Jeffrey, Richmond Hill. BIGa HST THAT 1357111957
