“I personally believe that our political s y s t e m is flexible 3n0ugh allow one of the :roups which founded our coun- try to reach the normal objec- tives of any adult people by it- self and in its own way,"
‘ said.
Mr. Lesage spoke during con- vocation ceremonies at Darl- mouth College. The college con- ferred on him an honorary doc- torate of laws.
The premier was one of eight persons given honorary degrees
the, university. Among the
h
others were Christian Herter, former United States secretary of state and Arthur I-Iochs Sulz- berger. publisher of the New York Time .
Premier Lesage was the lnain
speaker at the outdoor cere- monies attended by 5.000 per-; sons.
He said that as far as Que- ibec Is concerned the role of the ederal government "will be radically altered by the changes that will take place In Can-
a...
These changes would occur “not only in the field of taxa- tion but also in the control that
ese .
bolized an “indestructible ira- ternity which has a solid ex- i pression in the friendship of two I great neighboring countries."
The premier said that since his government came to power ‘ in 1960 French - speaking Cana- dians have wanted to play a greater role in Canadian affairs I and have insisted on respect of ‘ their rights.
His Liberal administration I had reformed several provinCIal
institutions 1n seeking these ‘ goals and solidified ‘among ; ourselves the new
dynamism lthat was moving us." In the face of this movement. the rest of Canada discarded “the usual techniques of ap- peasement or diversion because we had risen almost unani- mously against, a fundamental 'defect in the. Canadian political Isystem." he sid. ‘ MAJOR CORRECTION I “Only a major correction of ‘this fundamental defect would ‘i succeed in satisfying our pres. ent aspirations."
The defect involved ‘the diffi- culty in which Quebec finds it- ‘ self of not being able to develop in its own manner In those spheres which either come un- der or should come under Its own jurisdiction." ‘
Mr. Lesage said his govern- ment “is not alone responsible" i for Quebec's progress so far but the government "played Its

If incomes for the displaced are to be maintained. “it. must be by income redistribution lrathcr t h a n by maintained
