SEPTEMBER 2, 19“ Memorable Occasion It is unfortunate that yester- day’s re-enactment of an historic pro-Confederation scene should have Provoked Premier Lesage to com- plain that no French was used by the actors at the ceremony. There is no record, apparently. of French having being used at the Charlotte- town Conference, but the Quebec Premier maintains that it should have been spoken along with Eng- lish on this occasion. Surely, however, no “insult” was intended, and it would be doub- ly unfortunate if our French- speaking citizens of Quebec should insist on maintaining this attitude to what was, at worst, a faux pas on the part of the centennial com- mission programmers. V This caveat aside, yesterday’s events elicited warm and enthus- iastic response. Manitoba's Premier Roblin called them “a moving nat- ional occasion” and Prime Minister Pearson struck the keynote of the colorful meeting in the Confedera- tion Chamber when he affirmed that “today this nation has no in- tention of falling apart. and every intention of moving forward to greater things.” To accomplish this, he added, there must be “a sense of political realism, a passion for justice and a gift for compromise. We must also recognize that the basic partner- ship of our two founding people— the enriching and diversity of our national pattern—remain our great- est source of strength.” These words expressed the feel- Ings not only of those present at yesterday’s ceremonies but of the great body of Canadians in every province. Surely they convey a meaning too important to be lost eight of at this time. Today's Conference Today‘s federal-provincial con- ference in Charlottetown is expect- ed to .deal chiefly, if not entirely, with plans for amending Canada’s constitution without recourse to the Parliament at Westministe'r. If agreement in principle is reached at this meeting, a federal-provin- cial constitutional conference of attorneys-general will likely be re- convened to work out details for a draft act to be submitted to the British Parliament; and Prime Min- ieter Pearson has expressed opti— mism that such an agreement can I be reached. According to an Ottawa corres- 'pondent of the Financial Times, prospects for a move forward on the ’ constitutional front are Indeed bright. Cited as a promising formula . la the one proposed by Hon. Davie Fulton, former Conservative min- ” V: later of justice, which came within ' Province of Saskatchewan, i ‘ an ace of being agreed to in 1961, and which was blocked only by the whose eocialist government had fears for the status of Its welfare program. With a Liberal government In- etalled In Saskatchewan and a sym- pathetic Premier Lesage, only one block appears to remain to full agreement in principle. This is Head- for One In Section 91, inserted by an amendment of 1949 and giving 2 Mllement power to amend the con- . [ablation in matters exclusively within If; jurisdiction. It has been . = only once, to effect a change in Wtion of the House of 'l i in 1962. The amendment en clauses relating to powers at legislatures to make laws, the rights and privileges of provincial legis- latures and governments, assets or property of a province and use of English or French language. It sc- cepts the right of veto for any prov- ince but Newfoundland in matters relating to education and Newfound- land’s right to veto any changes in terms of the union. In matters affecting one or more provinces, but not. all, the formula provides that there must be agreement by all provinces con- cerned. In all other matters a con- stitutional amendment would need concurrence of the legislatures of two-thirds of the provinces repre- senting at least half of the popula- tion of Canada. There is also provision for dele- gation of federal authority to the provinces under certain conditions. British Food Fair The prospects for opening fur- ther markets for Canadian pro; cessed foodstuffs in the United Kingdom will be brought perceptiny closer by the Canadian Food Fes- tival at Britain’s Food Fair, which opened yesterday in London and will continue until Sept 6. Twenty- eight Canadian food companies and co-operatives plus the Manitoba Ex- port Corporation and the Ontario Tender Fruit Institute are repre- sented at the show, which is being staged by the Canadian Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce. Only a few days ago in Charlotte— town, British Trade Commissioner G. Ronald Latham referred opti- mistically to the chances for great- ly increased trade between the At- lantic Provinces and Britain. Geo- graphically, we are in a key position in this regard, and it is to be hoped that full advantage has been taken of publicizing Atlantic products at the big fair now in progress. By aiding In this effort, the federal department expects not only to promote consumption of the pro- ducts of the participating compa- nies, but to create a better market climate for all Canadian food sold in the British Isles. The market is, in fact, tremen- dous—Canadian food sales total- led more than $100 million last Year. And with processed and pre- DaCkaged food catching on more and more as British shopping habits move closer to North American lines, Canada, becauseof its Com- monwealth preferences, seems the natural country to supply a large part of the growing demand. Pressure On Japan Japan has bought well over a billion dollars worth of Canada’s agricultural output since 1949. Our sales of all classes of wheat alone, during the calendar years 1949 to 1963 inclusive, amounted to 469,- 925,604 bushels, to a value of $834,- 733,625. These Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures show that. from an initial quantity of 328,533 bushels in 1949, the Japanese have become one of our biggest and steadiest customers for this product, which directly, or indirectly, alf- fects a large part of our whole Canadian economy. What, then. is one to make of the latest news from Ottawa, that Canada proposes to make a new ef- fort to persuade Japan to impose “voluntary” restraints on the ex- port of its worsted fabrics to this country? Always, it seems, the Can- adian textile market has to be pro- tected, at the expense not only of good customers but of Canadian purchasers as well. The Japanese have agreed to keep a watchful eye on their exports to Canada, but they have complained about the Imbalance of their trade with this country; and who can blame them? Trade Is a two-way street, and it Is high time that we recognized it as such.

Prime Minister Pearson has received very many commun- lcations from Canadians on the subject of “Mike's Maple" -— some agreeing with his propos- als, others disapproving. Among the former was a telegram from the enemies' camp; “Bravo at last. A great Canadian has given Canada its long - desired emblems of sovereignty. Pierre joins me in our great admiration for a man of courage and wis- dom.” The telegram was sign- ed “Corinne K. Sevigny": site Is the WI fe of Hon. Pierre Sevigny, who was associate ml- nister of Defence in the Diefen- baker adminlstration. While he was an MP, Mr. Sevi guy made strenuous but ineffective representations to Mr. D to the end that the Conservative Gov- ernment should introduce a new flag in line with Quebec aspira- tions. VOX POPULI While on the subject of the flag, letters from readers make if abundantly clear to me that Canadians heartily disapprove of the present politicking In Parliament by MP5 of all par- ties on the flag issue. Typically C. Henwood of Guelph com- ments: "We are firing of the conduct of our juveniles, now are plagued with our sen- lor delinquents at Ottawa—or, “’l them, our “senile delinquents.” Isn't there one single man out of our 285 We who could shame them Into behaving as responsible representatives of the people?" WHOSE RECESS? Bert Cadieu, Conservative MP for Meadow Lake, Sask, says that “the press called ‘fil- ibuster‘ and the government cried 'obstructlon', but members of the Press Gallery in Ottawa never saw fit to in- form lhe Canadian people of the true nature of the discussion in the Chamber because themselves are disgruntled at having no recess." Of course when Parliament Is In session, there workers around Hill who muat remain on the job. So this summer. the secre- tarles and clerks of Ministers and MPs, the staff of the lib- rary and readlng room and res- taurant and barber shops, the other civil servants. and even all have Parliament members of the Press Gallery have been away. If the MP want to spend their summer ho- liday ln debate, that's one thing: but this year they have supplied unanswerabla argu- ments in favour of fixed dates for Parliamentary sessions so that everyone can plan. can enjoy. holidays. and Young Love On The Move Victoria Colonial They say all the world loves a lover, but that doesn't mean that anyone in his right mind loves a c uddle r behind the wheel of a moving automobile.
