“If only one of those mem- bers, p e r h a! p s the Creditiste on whose party is entirely united, were to decide in favor of removing the Union Jack and having no vestige of the Union Jack in the flag. then the com— mittee would simply end then and there."

After the third meeting, ilk. Pearson told the Commons that while it failed to produce an agreement, “no doors have been closed for any subsequent meetings." And he announced that he was declaring a free Note on the flag resolution so there would be no threat of an election hanging over the heads of MPs.

The fact that the governmen‘. had previously announced the flag resolution as s question of confidence in the government, and that it would resign if de. feated in the vote, was one of contentious issues in the debate. There were repeated Causewa- tive changes that the govern- mnt was using the threat of an election to ram the new flag down Parliament's throat.

The announcement of a free vote did little to change that. Mr_ Diefenbaker said attitudes had frozen in emotional de- bate and "the decision . . day appears to be too late to permit the carrying into the full effect of the meaning of that term."

One of the chief difficulties in reaching a compro se involves the political manoeuvring neces- sary to achieve it. ‘ STANDING PAT

The government wants to avoid any impression that it is retreating from its determina- tion to give Canadians in dis- tinctive flag. The Conservatives don’t want to appear to be giv- ing up their fight to retain his- toric symbols.

F0 the most part, the three smaller parties, a majority of whose members support a new flag, are sit-ting on the side-

,Deed Says Plans Made Before Fathers Met Here

By JAMES NELSON

QUEBEC (CP) — A century- old document indicating the plan for Confederation was langer conceived here before the Fathers of Confederation held their first conference in Charlottetown has been made public by the federal centen- nial commission.

e document is a cabinet minute of the pro-Confederation united province of Lower an Upper Canada instructing John A. Macdonald and the other Fathers from Quebec is tario to go to the Charlottetown conference.

It is dated Aug. 29, 1884. Cen- tennial planners say the docu- ment has been among the pre- Confederation state papers at Canada in the Public Archives but so far as they can learn has never been publish .

Photocopies of the hand-writ.- ten cabinet record are to be presented the mayors of

The document says the Cans- dian cabinet "entirely concur with the opinion expressed by the lieutenant - governors that the proposed meeting (at Char- lottetown) must necessarily be of an informal character."

"But they (the cabinet) con- sider that very great advantage will flow from the rtuni that will be thus afforded. of con- sidering the practicability of

The document acknowledges

that in any union of the Bu:- ish North America colonies the British government must be consulted.

It speaks of placing “before the imperial government such a general outline of the pol- icy proposed as may enable her majesty's minister to deter mine whether the interests of the Empire will be thereby and of giving the unc- tion of the queen to the intro. negotiations on the nibject."

ocument concludes:

“The committee, therefore, respectfully recommend to Your Excellency that such of You! Excellency’s advisers as can conveniently be spared from their official duties at Quebec should be authorized to proceed to Charlottetown for the purpose of conferring informally with the representatives from the Maritime provinces.

“Certified, Wm. H. Lee, Snow rotary."

Macdonald and seven othnl ministers sailed Aug. 29. 1864, from Quebec City and met with 15 delegates representing the three Maritime provinces in Charlotteth Sept, 1. Af eral days setting out their ideas for Confederation, the Maritime delegates decided to shelve their plans for Maritime union and later at Halifax the confer- ence decided to hold a formal conference at Queue
