TORONTO (CP) — Publisher Roy Thomson, saying he con- siders himself a Canadian de- spite an apparent cloud on his citizenship over his elevation to the British peerage, flew into Canada late Saturday and promised a “comprehensive” statement on the issue shortly.

The 69-year-old press baron- designate told reporters he was born a Canadian, one and will die one, though Prime Minister Pearson has referred to him as I "former" Canadian since his acquisition of ritish citizen- ship to clear the way for entry to the House of Lords.

But Toronto-born Mr. Thom- oon—-as he still is until his ap- pointment appears in the Royal Gazette—dec’.ined to go into de- tail on the citizenship question or to indicate whether he was travelling on a Canadian or British passport.

“I don't want to discuss it in bits and pieces—-it will all be in the statement," the multi-mi1- lionaire publishing and broad- casting executive said as he 1“ .
