Confederation Spirit Worries Quebec Head By JOHN YORSTON QUEBEC (CP) -- Premier Jean Lesage amd Opposition Leader lel Johnson say the "spirit" of Confederation has been dissipated since 1867, They are not sure how it should be revived, In_ the -- pee a Thursday, they discusse e spirit which animated Confed- eration. To Mr, Lesage and Mr. John- son--as with most other Que- becers--- Confederation was a pact between two nations, in the sense that the French- and English-speaking segments of Canada are nations. Spirit in which Confederation was achieved was designed to permit both mations to develop, in the words of Mr. Johnson, "according to its own aspira- tions." Both main groups, he added, must be equal partners. "Because it has not been ob- served, neither in the letter nor in the spirit, the pact of 1867 Prices Dip In Bond Market By THE CANADIAN PRESS Prices were lower on Cana- dian bond markets this week in light trading. * 'The treasury bills average in- creased slightly to 3.87 per cent on the 91-day bills from 3.85 per cent last week, and to 3.98 per cent on the 182-day bills from 3.96 per cent. Day money was in good sup- ply at 3% per cent. Main interest centred on the government market this week which saw two news issues. The first was a $125,000,000 3%4-per- cent, Feb. 1, 1964, issue at 99% to yield 4.02 per cent. The sec- ond was a $225,000,000 3% per cent, Fb. 1, 1966, issue at 97% to yield 4.49 per zcent. There was good buying in evi- » dence im the provincial market but prices were generally un- changed. The Ontario 5%4-per- " cent 1982 issue closed at 9914 * and the Quebec 5%%-per-cent 1987 issue at 97%. corporate market contin- has become outmoded," Mr. Johnson declared. REPEATS VIEW Mr. Lesage did not go quite that far. He repeated his con- tention that Confederation has not been fully lived. He said that from his experience out- side Quebec "'people have for- gotten or do not want to recog: nize the basis of Confederation." Mr. Johnson said a "constitu- ent assembly" must be called in which the 'delegated repre- sentatives of the two nations" could seek a new constitution. Mr. Lesage said the practical difficulties in setting up such a gathering would be great. He favored a federal - provincial royal commission on Canada's bicultural status. The resulting publicity could awaken "in the minds of the English-speaking residents of the other provinces and of new Canadians the spirit that existed in the majority of the fathers of Confederation." Their debate was another chapter in a continuing discus- sion in the province on Confed- eration. Canada's Constitution and the place of French-speak- ing Canadians within it is being discussed as never before in Quebec's history. Quebecers consider Canada, French-speaking Canadians et the top of the federal civil serv- ice or of industry. These same leaders feel that French-Cana- dians, as never before, can be- come qualified to take on these positions. But not at the expense of becoming '"'assimilated,"' or losing their identity as French- Canadians.

But many Quebecers share some of the points being made by the separatists, except for demands for complete sep- aration, The principal argument of Dr. Marcel Chaput, leader of the first separatist political party, is that French-speaking Cana? dians will always be a minority in Canada. To become a major- ity and direct their own affairs, they must form their own state. Quebec's understanding of Confederation is that Sir George Etienne Cartier, in leading the province into Confederation, de- manded and obtained a federal system in*which each province would be a_ semi - autonomist state. This ran counter to the wishes of Sir John A. Macdonald, who wanted a unitary state with a single, all-powerful government. "His (Macdonald's) point of view did not prevail," said Mr. Lesage.

JOHN'S, Nfld, (CP) -- Government House "will not be avaiable" to the next lieuten- ant-governor of Newfoundland, whoever he is, for as long as outgoing Lieutenant - Governor Campbell Macpherson and_his wife continue to live there, Pre- mier Joseph Smallwood says. Mr. and Mrs. Macpherson will be in the provincially- owned residence "most of the winter" although his term of of- fice expires Jan. 25, Mr, Smallwood announced Friday that the lieutenant-gov- ernor had accepted the govern- ment's invitation to be its guest at Government House "for as long as it is convenient for them to remain in residence." The premier said in an inter- view he "would assume" that the problem of residence for the new lieutenant-governor--an Ot- tawa source has indicated he may be appointed in about a week--is a "problem for the prime minister."

Loss from the Atlantic and Gulf coast dock strike mounted to more than $600,000,000, Nine daily newspapers in New York City and two in Cleveland re- mained closed because of labor- management disputes. Freezes in Florida, Califor- nia, Arizona and Texas severely damaged citrus and vegetable crops, causing some shortages and high prices, Kennedy's long - anticipated tax cut request would, if en- acted, bring more relief than had been generally expected. Congressmen and businessmen who commented on the pro- gram were mostly in favor of ® but many called for a simul- taneous reduction in federal spending or at best a balanced budget. Kennedy proposed a reduction in individual income tax rates to the 14-to-64 per cent range from the 20-to-91 per cent range at present. This would amount to $11,000,000,000 over three years, beginning with a $6,000,- 000,000 cut this year. The cor- porate rate would be sliced to 47 per cent from 52 per cent-- a $2,500,000,000 cut, PLANS TAX REVISIONS The president asked Congress to recover $3,500,000,000 of the loss by enacting tax revisions which could take the form of Closing loopholes and tightening deductions. : White Congress appeared in accord with the idea of tax re- duction, the road ahead for the president's program, as sub- mitted, looked rocky. Later in the week when Ker nedy submitted a $98,800,000,- 000 budget--involving-a $11,900,- 000,000 deficit -- Congress grumbled. Some members said the size of the deficit, second biggest in peacetime, was a threat to a tax reduction. Kennedy moved into the Longshoremen's nearly month- long strike, asserting "the point of public toleration of this sit- uation has been passed." He appointed a board to obtain a shoremen has tied up 500 ships. The effects became more seri, ous each day. Factory opera- tions were curtailed by short- Ss of raw materials. House- wives couldn't find bananas and fresh coconuts in the markets. There was little or no pro- gress in attempts to settle the newspaper strike. PRICES RISE The widespread crop damage from freezing weather was more bad news for housewives, While the amount of damage was yet to be fully asserted, some citrus and vegetable prices jumped as much as 100 per cent. Steel production last week at- tained the highest level in eight months for the second consecu- tive week. Outputt of 1,912,000 tons was 1.8 pe recent above the previous week, !
