Bilingualism ‘Not Essential’

MONTREAL (CP) — Complete bilingualism is not essential for the development of a national spirit in Canada, Prime Minister Diefenbaker said Friday.

It is desirable as an educh- tional and cultural ideal for Cana- dians to be able to speak both English and French, he said in a convocation speech at the Uni- versity of Montreal.

“But I do not believe it is any more essential to the creation of

'a Canadian nationality that we

all speak the same language than that\we all belong to the same church or the same political party or have the same racial origins.””

The prime minister received an honorary degree at the conven- tion.

LIKE AMERICANS TO CANADIANS

Newfoundlanders Resent Ignorance Of Canadians

WINNIPEG (CP) — Newfound- land MP J. W. Pickersgill said Friday the attitude of mainland Canadians to Newfoundlanders is similar to that of Americans to Canadians — “a combination in about equal préportions of good will and ignorance.’

“And just as most Canadians tend to resent this American ig norance so do most Newfound- landers tend to resent the Cana- dian ignorance,” he said in a speech to the Canadian Club here. The statements were included in a text of the speech issued to the press.

The ‘Liberal MP for Bonavista- Twillingate, a former Manitoba history professor, traced the his- tory of the rugged island prov- ince up to its entry into Confed- eration as Canada’s 10th province in 1949.

INSIDER ON SECRETS

At that time Council secretary, an insider with cabinet secrets. He said the “great snag” as far as the Cana- dian government was concerned in considering Newfoundland’s entry to Confedefation was the unhealthy .state of the island’s finances. s

“I, can well. remember one evening when (former prime min- ister) St. Laurent told me he was afraid that problem just could not be solved.

But finally it was agreed that the federal government would provide certain financial assist- ance for eight years and .then whatever was needed thereafter to continue Newfoundland’s pub- lie services without a_ higher level of provincial taxes than in the Maritime provinces.
