REACTION IN LONDON LUKEWARM TO FRIGID

By DOUG MARSHALL

LONDON (CP) — Canada’s new national flag fluttered bravely over London for the first time Monday and was greeted by comments that ranged from lukewarm to fri- gid. .

“Very nice, I suppose” and “well, it’s certainly distine- tive’ were common remarks from Britons anxious not to offend as they passed by Can- ada House in Trafalgar Square.

But one long-haired art sty- dent heading for the National Gallery had stronger views.

““Congratulations,”’ he told a

reporter. “Canada has be- come the first country to in- corporate pop art in its na- tional emblem.” . .. Other Britons were puzzled because the flag’s maple leaf is red instead of green, the color usually associated with Canadian leaves.
