Mr. Diefenbaker polled the Conservative party's natianal executive here Saturday on whether he should attend the Peace Tower ceremony. Party sources said there was a heavy majority in the affirmative and Mr. Diefenbaker wrote Mr Pearson Monday that he would attend the ceremony

“Tm very glad the leader of the opposition will be there for this historie occasion,”’ Mr Pearson told reporters after a

_ cabinet meeting Tuesday

The great Canadian flag de- bate, an intermittent affair since Confederation in 1867, blew up into a political crisis last May 17 when Mr. Pearson addressed a hostile Royal Cana- dian Legion convention in Win- nipeg

He told the country's largest veterans’ organization the time had come to scrap the Red En sign and replace it with a-dis- tinctive maple leaf flag The en- sign, with a Union Jack in the upper left corner and the Cana- dian coat of arms on a red field, has flown over federal buildings since a cabinet order was passed in 1945

REFERRED TO COMMITTEE

4 government resolution for a three-leaf design with blue bars at each side stalemated the Commons all summer and the issue was referred to a special committee Sept. 10

Six weeks later, after -consul-

ing historians and heraldic ez. perts, « the committee recom. mended by a vote of 10 to 4 Can-

big red stylized maple leaf on a white squre and red panels on each side

A new deadlock developed in December when Enzglish-speak- ing Conservative MPs kept up their opposition to the new flag

For the first time since 1956. the closure rule was invoked to cut off debate and force-# vote The Commons approved the maple leaf flag by a vote of 163 to 78 in the wee hours of Dee 15

The Senate concurred two days later by a vote of 38% to 23 and Queen Elizabeth ap proved the design Christmas Eve. The Queen signed the of- ficial proclamation Jan 2% and it becomes effective Monday

The thinking behind the new flag is that a 1921 proclamation by King George V meant. in ef- fect. that red and white became the natiéfial colors of Canada and a cluster of three red maple leaves on white, the national emblem

Some heraldists feel a sinzie leaf design is more simple and attractive, while others hold a three-leaf flag is more correct in a heraldic sense

The on-and-off Commons flag debate consumed 33 days There were 279 speeches—195 hy Con servatives, 42 by Liberals and 42 by members of the three smaller parties.
