Mr Pellerin later said the whole design was intended to show not only Island products but Island colors as well. with much good‘natured hanv fering being heard among the premiers. just before closing Premier Shaw stated his hope- “the unanimity so evident here will carry over to any future conferences we may have.

In 1854 the delegates from Lower and Upper Canada. how- ever. were the chief protagon- ists. arguing for and soliciting the support of the Maritime delegates for the idea of union of the British North American provinces. After Gray was elected chairman and invited the Canadians to attend the con- ference, they presented case for Confederation. Quite apart from the appeals to the emotions that Macdohald and Cartier made for the Con- federation were tive and financial reasons.

He is a man of medium tall stature who. in costume, wears steet rimmed glasses. side whiskers. and a cherubic expression.

It does mean a government at the centre strong enough to Seer‘ Canada as a whole." HAS RACIAL TENSIONS The prime minister told the premiers in facing up to pres- ent problems, it must be recog. nized Canada has racial and regional tensions. “At times they seem to en- danger our very survival as a nation. for strains of the pres- ent always create doubts about the future. . . . This doubt is seized by the cynics. and the faint. - hearted to belittle the Canadian experiment. and dim- inish its achievements. To coun- teract such defeatism “we shomd spend more time rejoicing in our achievements; less in moaning about our difficulties." almost identical message came from Premier Robert L. Stanfield of Nova Scotia. Cana- dians spent too much time on their difficulties and inn little on their achievements. he said. P.E.I. Premier Walter Show suggested the provinces get to know each other better so the 1967 centennial celebra- tions would be known as a pe- riod of redismvery and recog- inces to develop as separate states on the basis of selfish motives. "The cloth of the federal garb is not perfect," said Premier Robichaud of New Brunswick. "but many of the imperfections have been removed with the years. Those that remain will be removed with patience and quiet determination." TAKEN BY SURPRISE He took some premiers by surprise when he suggested the four Atlantic provinces get to- gether and dis c u s s possible amalgamation. But he and the other premiers said any such move would require a lot of thinking and discussion. Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland. s latterday‘ Father of Confederation him- self. said Canada today has changed a great. deal from the country Newfoundland joined in 1949. The change was so great "as to make her virtually a new country." He regretted Newfoundland did not have a representative at the Confederation talks here in 1864. but after 15 years as a province "-1 say on behalf of all Newfoundlanders that the more we see. of Canada the better we like her." Throngs of spectators cheer- and waved as the Fathers ed five horse-drawn car- riages and paraded in an im- tpressive file to the Provincial Building. The masses of on-‘ lookers lined along the parade1 route from the wharf the‘ Provincial Building were int sharp contrast to the receptiont given the real Fathers 100 years? ago. when most of the populace‘ was unaware of the visitors' on: t'val. l As the. carriages drew up in a circular fashion at the trance of the Provincial Build- ing. a minor crisis when a horse balked and the driver had some difficulty‘ in bringing it under control.I Other persons promptly aissist-| ed by going to the home's head. i owever. and the Fathers. after ‘ acknowledging greetings fromi the crowd. dismounted and en- veloped i en- t I family said last night that Mrs. tients was repo . as serious “but not critical" by one of the1 attending physicians.
