The uropoan tour would follow im- mediately the conclusion of the conference. throughout which he would remain in Paris.

The committee recommended that the red ensign with a golden maple leaf on a white background replacing the coat oi arms in the ilv be adopted ns Canada's flag. There has been no debate on the committee's report. presented last week. and can be none until a member of the committee moves its concurrence. It was learned that Quebec mem- planned an extensive against adoption of the r;- t e fllzht port have found that under house rules the report actuallv ls not in order. Thev found that the committee had not carried out its terms of reference to choose a de- llIIi for a Canadian flag. because the report did not specify what sine the Union Jack in the canton . should be or what size the maple ' leaf in the fly should be. One member said that under the House rules this was sufficient to. disqualify the committee's report. This view. he said. had been con- firmed bv authorities on House rules. His guess was that the flail issue would not be dealt with any further this session bu‘. tackled again next yea-r. A prominent member oi the flag eontmittee said he. too. had scan indications that the report would not be moved for concurrence this_ session. He had heard mention of a possibilitv that the details of the new design would be worked out after the end of the session and the new flag proclaimed by order-in-council. Postponement of the issue until next session would be satisfactory to many Quebec members who have been honing that in limo they will be able to swim! suffic- ient support their vray t0 hi" l “distlnctive" design chosen for the Canadian flag.
